So... the problem with reviewing The Cursed Child is, simply put, a matter of bias. I was biased toward the story before I'd heard reviews of the play itself. I was biased upon reading about certain plot details. I was even more biased after hearing reviews about the play. And now, after having read the script myself, I'm not sure quite where my own thoughts on it lay... I do know that I enjoyed reading it.
This next section will be some of my thoughts in a bullet-point format. They will contain spoilers.
SPOILER SECTION. THERE ARE SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT.
- I have gotten used to the idea of Delphi existing, even if I think her existence makes no sense.
- I hope we now understand the many reasons why J.K. Rowling destroyed all the Time Turners in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- Really not sure how I feel about the potential for a future Rose/Scorpius match... even if they are rather popular in fanfiction circles.
- I enjoyed the dark, Voldemort run future, if only for the Snape and Scorpius interactions.
That's really all I have to say for now... I'll amend this review later if I have anything else to add.
Favorite Line
"Consider me engorgimpressed." - Scorpius Malfoy
