Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2
question
Does it bother anyone else that Hermione is reduced to a miserable spinster teacher when she isn't married to Ron?

Just wondering... for a play that finally included a person of colour in the main cast, this moment for Hermione was a Harry Potter low point for feminism. Thoughts?

She could’ve been a teacher but I wouldn’t see Hermione as one of those super strict Snape-like teachers, maybe something like firm but fair? This sounds a lot more like Hermione than Snape!
Personally, I don't care about feminism and I didn't care for them making Hermione black. If she'd been black in the first place, fine, but to change her for this was stupid. But I guess that's really the least of this play's problems, lol
But yes, to answer your question, the Hermione in the altered reality was stupid. Not her character at all. She never would have gotten that bitter and I don't think she would have had a problem falling in love with someone else. You know, if the reason she and Ron didn't get together made any sense at all. Which, you know, it didn't.
As for her being a teacher....I could kind of see it. More so than her being Minister for Magic anyway. But still, it wasn't really her.
The author clearly just didn't know anything about the characters.
