For anyone who's curious, the plot of the play has been discussed in spoilery comments at the following links:

Source 2

Source 3 UPDATE: Snitchseeker took down their spoilers as JKR called out another website for doing the same and TPTB have been contacting people to request they don't post any details. *eyeroll*

But never fear, Andrew Sims of Hypable (whom JKR called 'Wormtaily' for betraying the secret, lmao) linked to a cohesive recap of the entire two-part play.

When I first read about this, I thought it was someone trolling, but there's multiple sources? Either there's a conspiracy afoot or it's legit, IDK what to believe!

What kind of crappy fanfic, lmao! A Time-Turner plot, seriously? To save CEDRIC DIGGORY, of all people, wtf?

How shitty that anti-Slytherin prejudice is still going strong to the point that Albus is ostracized for being sorted into Slytherin. :/

Cackling at Ron & Hermione never getting together as a result of the temporal shenanigans, hehe. But I'm pissed that her being single results in her becoming a bitter Hogwarts teacher as opposed to happily married Hermione being the Minister of Magic, the implications there are pretty gross.

I can't even process everything I just read. Wow. JKR should be fired from her own world, just what even.

I think that one of the worst part of this is that it so plainly shows that R/Hr relationship is based on jealousy and utterly toxic; but then it turns around and tell us that this is the best thing ever!

Like, if at the end of the play R/Hr broke up (lol like JKR would dream about letting them divorce) or if they did something to fix (even if we were shown that they grew up and that now their partnership is healthy and loving) their relationship? That would be one thing.

But instead we get the a toxic Family-Unfriendly Aesop of "Even a terrible relationship is better then being alone" and "You should never, ever get over your childhood crush". Hell, it part of the plot that without that jealousy based relationship the word will be a worse place.

And that really terrible thing to teach to children.

Btw, just how did Ron end up going with Padma? If Hermione doesn't go with Victor she's free to go with Harry or Ron or Neville. And if Ginny doesn't go with Neville she can go with Harry. But my point is; there's no need for Harry and Ron to ask Patil sisters for help. So, how did all that happen?
