Harry Potter & the Cursed Child

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

Source 1

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.

//This was evident from the end of DH. "All was well" = return to pre-Voldemort status quo, with all the conditions which produce a new Dark Lord every generation or so. I read quite a few essays on the subject.//
Oh, yes. But you still had so many people defending it. So many things were written trying to excuse Harry's caps lock-ing, anger issues and total moral bankruptcy.
People trying to show some flimsy "evidence" that Harry really grew up and that "All was well" was true.

But this destroyed all of that.
It's years later, there's no war, no Tom's soul fragment in Harry making him angry or anything like that, Harry is happy, surrounded by people who love him, have a prestigious job and power in WW . . . and he still allows himself to say such things to his child?
Yeah, grownup Harry really isn't a good parent or a good person.

Btw, if he wasn't able to control himself with his son; I shudder to think how he acts toward people he doesn't like. For example, people he, due to his job, have power over.

I like how one place put it of Harry and Ron as Aurors - a couple of "good old boys" running the law enforcement. We've seen how well that works.
