Some highlights: >This blond boy introduces himself as Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco. Despite the kids’ open discussion that his real father could be Voldemort, Albus decides to stay. >Albus is intrigued by this older girl with silver and blue hair >Bane, the centaur, >She tells him to get back to school or he’s going to ruin Voldemort Day. >Every conversation in this alternate reality ends by people crossing their wrists and saying: For Voldemort and valor. >Every girl at Hogwarts is hoping Scorpius—known as the Scorpion King—will ask them to the Blood Ball. The other kids do his homework. >Snape lets him into a secret room where Hermione and Ron are in hiding. Hermione is the most wanted wizard in the world.
J.K. Rowling is already in full damage control mode and is calling anyone who discusses spoilers wormtails.
A novel adaptation of the play is coming out on July 31st.

>Bane, the centaur,
fuck you rowling for keeping this shitty meme alive. it's bad enough we get invaded by /tv/ because you decided to turn your books into movies and television series, and now this shit.

I would pay to see a movie starring Tom Hardy as Bane and Dwayne Johnson as the Scorpion King.
Also I now feel bad for black Hermione having to go through this shit.

WHAT MATTERS IS OUR FRANCHISE
Josiah Long
The plot is fucking soap opera tier. >Voldemort had a daughter with Bellatrix It's fanfic tier. How does his nadgers even work after years of dork magic? Why ruin this image of an inhumane monster by giving him a sexual history? Asexuals are clearly not human, ergo, making Voldemort an asexual was a genius stroke, that the author has now ruined beyond repair.

Ayden Taylor
It reads more like the internet meme machine going on about her plot holes, Bane and cuckery has eaten her brain away
Owen Foster
This I agree with, the whole difference between Harry and Voldemort's characters was that Harry had love in his life whereas Voldemort was born from a loveless union which made him the way it did and making him a power hungry asexual would've fit in nicely with his character. Makes sense for Harry to have children but not for Voldemort, they brought it up countless times how he might never possibly love someone due to the way he was created. Delphine sounds like a qt though.
Lucas Perez
I have actually read fanfics with better plots than this.
>Bane, the centaur
Does /tv/ know yet?
Jason Peterson
Sounds as bad as The Force Awakens when all that did was "HEY! I KNOW YOU REMEMBER THIS HAPPENED IN THE OT SO HERE IT IS AGAIN! ISN'T THIS MOVIE AMAZING!?" Rowling is using the exact same shit.
Dominic White
TFA was pretty damn good though, even if it's basically the same as the OT.
Cooper Sanchez
It sounds far worse than TFA.
Levi Collins
>TFA was pretty damn good Outside the aerial battle scenes no it wasn't.
Alexander Carter
there are worse movies out there, it isn't a binary sucks or is amazing. It was an alright movie.
Jaxson Jones
The ground scenes with the troopers are really well made. And the lightsaber battles finally had some weight in them.
It felt like starwars, and that's all I wanted from that movie tbqh
Elijah Powell
Stop fucking trying to talk about the force awakens you aspie, it this is a literature board and the two are not even comparable
Sebastian Baker
TELL ME ABOUT THE BANE
Christian Perry
It has a novelization. We are discussing the adaptation of the hit feature film.
Think about how long Ron and Hermione were trapped in that room in one of the alternate universes not even being able to STRETCH THEIR LEGS

>J.K. Rowling
The Cursed Child was written by Jack Thorne. Rowling is simply allowing this to happen. Getting mad at Rowling for allowing some other person to "tarnish the artistic integrity of the Harry Potter series" when you don't even believe Harry Potter has that to begin with is stupid.
>asexuals are clearly not human
epic liberal biggotry
Mason Johnson
Was really hoping that "worse than garbage fanfiction" was an overstatement, then I got to
"Draco asks Harry to use his position as Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic to shut down gossip that a Time-Turner was used to allow Voldemort to impregnate Astoria, Draco’s wife, who gave birth to Scorpius."
And goddammit........
Ian Collins
Whoops, meant to include this quote too:
"He asks for a statement to be released confirming the Time-Turners have all been destroyed, because his son has such a hard time being bullied about it."
Come on, Rowling, what are you doing?
Justin Reed
I don't see the problem with wizards coming up with some retarded rumour that someone is actually the secret child of Voldemort.
The problem arises when it turns out they were right about Voldemort having a secret child, just not their identity.
Isaiah Howard
I agree, the rumor isn't a problem at all, totally feasible for kids to make that rumor. But I mean, throughout the entirety of the 7-book series, Voldemort is shown to be a pretty inhuman character who has no interest in sex or anything of the like.
Shit, he's not even compassionate toward Bellatrix, so far as I can remember, so for him to have a child at all, yeah, it completely breaks character.
Luis Long
>tfw JK Rowling will never beckon you closer and let you sniff her plot holes
Nolan Cooper
>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is written by British playwright Jack Thorne, based on an original story by J. K. Rowling, Thorne and John Tiffany.
She definitely had to approve the story, and it sounds like she helped plot it too. Also, I'm not any of those guys, and I did enjoy the original series when I was a kid (although I haven't read any of them in years and so don't know how they hold up), but it seems pretty clear to me that Rowling's spark of inspiration only extended as far as the original series and the HP stuff she's putting out now is just a transparent and subpar attempt to get some extra money and spread her liberal views around (not that I disagree with them). The other posters are right; compared to the original series which in my recollection was well plotted if not well written, the story of this play does read like bad fanfiction.

>Draco asks Harry to use his position as Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic to shut down gossip that a Time-Turner was used to allow Voldemort to impregnate Astoria, Draco’s wife, who gave birth to Scorpius.
I quite literally spit pasta over my keyboard laughing at this.
Holy fucking shit, I have read better works of fanfiction written by 12-year-old yaoi fangirls.
>Back on the train to Hogwarts, Albus hugs Scorpius and tells him they need to go back in time and save Cedric. They jump from the moving train.
I can't read any more. Let me curl up and die.
Juan Reed
This can't be real
And I'm not even a fan
Cooper Russell
>third book: time is a closed loop, you can't really change anything with time travel >now: ayy lmao alternate timelines
Aaron Bennett
bane
Ian Evans
The rumor is stupider than the reality, though. Why would anyone suspect that Draco would literally travel back through time to cuck himself with Voldemort?
Colton Perry
Maybe Bellatrix hit him with an invitro inseminatus curse?
Alexander Sanders
Isnt the rumour that someone impregnated her without his knowledge?
Angel Martin
Everything doesn't quite do what the plot requires imo. Why does Albus desperately want to bring back Cedric like that? Why is Voldemort's daughter genetically programmed to bring back her dad?
Wyatt Harris
>there are people in their 20's and older who are still fans of harry potter and WILL purchase this book When will this generation grow the fuck up?
Carter Hernandez
I remember older people reading Harry Potter as it came out and whining about not being able to have a proper discussion about it. It's all baby boomers man.
Most people have always been into equally stupid shit tho, way of the world my man
What does Draco do for work? How are the Malfoys even immune from prosecution after the Battle of Hogwarts?
It sounds like he works for the Ministry, but how would he even get a job there after Voldemort died?
Adrian Martinez
>he literally works making time turners
Angel Butler
The Malfoys are still rich. JKR said that they weaseled out of prosecution again after the Battle of Hogwarts due to how Narcissa helped Harry. It's total bullshit that Lucius got away with everything, but Draco at least was being directly threatened by Voldemort the whole time.
Chase Rodriguez
This is even worse than the original books
how can this be fucking possible
Caleb Russell
This has to be a joke. It has to be. She can't "Siriusly" have fucked up so badly. If this is the plot, it shows nothing but disdain for both the fans and the Harry Potter books.
And all the while, she's busy jumping on the gayclub shooting bandwagon.
James Sanders
>Asexuals are clearly not human

Owen Cooper
There's like 10 fanfictions I'd rather see adapted than this hilarious disaster. Get sapphiresmoke to write the next Harry Potter plz.
Ryder Cook
It always made me smile that Rowling outright said that children born of rape will be heartless monsters. Despite all the liberal bollocks she's gobbling on now, she still left that wide open.
Lucas Lewis
>Draco asks Harry to use his position as Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic to shut down gossip that a Time-Turner was used to allow Voldemort to impregnate Astoria, Draco’s wife, who gave birth to Scorpius.

Austin Cruz

Luke Turner
>spread her liberal views around (not that I disagree with them)
You support import of rapefugees?
Cause what else does liberal mean nowadays?
Adrian Baker
"Rapefugees" is a stupid meme, like the worst thing about migrants is that they rape more. Who is actually convinced by this argument? Migration is bad because it amounts to ethnic displacement of the native population, like China is doing to Tibet, conquest by immigration.
Leo Foster
>Migration is bad because it amounts to ethnic displacement of the native population...
And, in the case of Europe, because the immigrants are a bunch of rapists. Look at the rape rates in Germany and Sweden now that they've cucked themselves.
Camden Phillips
It doesn't matter. You can't defeat an ideology with enough strength to convince entire nations to quietly accept the invasion of millions of foreigners from the other side side of the world by pointing to increased rape rates.
Kayden Stewart
>Migration is bad because it amounts to ethnic displacement of the native population Why's that bad?
You sound pretty spooked desu
Ian Gomez
If you don't believe in securing the existence of your nation and posterity then you will simply die and be forgotten by history while less degenerate peoples replace you. The problem is Europe is eager for death.
Isaiah Miller

c'mon.

I don't mind securing the existence of my nation, but it isn't *my* nation.
Also we're all going to die and be forgotten by history.

Carson Howard

Charles Carter
Nationalism is just a broader based version of the same tribalism one could see in Chimpanzees. Reading ancient literature shows that many of the ancients across the world were what we would understand today as a bunch of racist nationalists.

Do you think they're addressing shitty fanfics, on some level? The blue and silver haired secret daughter of Voldemort is a little too on the nose for me to think otherwise.
