What do you think about Harry Potter and the cursed child ?

[Noémie]

I ask you that because I clearly didn't like. I mean... the characters aren't devlopped, Ron is just here to make jokes. And the universe isn't respected. Harry POtter is a story of magic, no a story of time travel. And we can feel that is a fan who wrote that. There's a lot of thing who made me think to a fanfiction. I have been really disappointed by this book.

Well, let's just say that I have worked very hard to get through all of my emotions about this book. I was reading it the day I got it, but as soon as Albus got Slytherin, I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the rest without writing down all of my thoughts along the way. So I ran back into the house and grabbed a notebook and wrote down everything I was feeling about it as I read. I finished it in a few hours that day, only because I wanted to get it over with. As a *coping mechanism* I have created several discussions about this play to try and wrap my head around the insanity of it all.

I have juste read your review and... it's great ! I totally agree with you. You summarized my though ! It's cool to see that I'm not alone to think that.

Thanks!! I have come across many positive reviews, but I would say just as many negative ones. WE ARE NOT ALONE BY ANY MEANS!! I can't understand how anyone does like this book when it breaks so many Harry Potter universe laws and ruins our beloved characters... but all of those other thoughts are in the other discussions (you may need to brace yourself for all of them!!).

It also breaks the vibe. Harry Potter isn't a book about time travel. It's about magic. Really please ! I read better fanfiction without pay 20€
