Very wrong😢 book make a lot of mess

[@kobevandael3827]

Snape shouldn't have been alive, right? Snape is killed before the whole Nagini thing. So, unfortunately, the fact that Nagini lived has nothing to do with Snape's death. Neither should Voldy! When Voldemort tried to kill Harry along with his parents, and the Killing Curse backfires, we learn that because he has a Horcrux, remains as a bodyless soul. So when Nagini was alive in the apocalyptic parallel universe, Voldemort should have become the same as he had been during 1981-1991, as a bodyless soul living in snakes or rats. Besides, I think someone would still have killed Nagini, and Harry should not have died! Harry simply cannot be killed by Voldemort, by the protection of Voldemorts blood, which is actually Harrys. Harry would have gone to King's Cross Station again, and returned again!

harry would NEVER be that rude to his son because he knows how much it hurts to not be loved by the family

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

I actually thought it fits his character because few times in books he errupted in anger even to his friends, but we can blame it on part of Voldemort’s soul in him. The more I think of it the more rubbish this is.

[@batmanbruce186]

ondrej kosik but can you really blame him? during order of the pheonix, he witnesses cedric’s death, voldemort coming back and his consequences are that his name is being slandered. it also doesnt help that the dursleys are worse than ever.

Exactly.... I so agree with you

[@chivalricsoul8463]

Bruh.. have you seen Naruto? It's the same flip of character we never expected to see

[@nataliatepelenas4998]

ondrej kosik you cant compare him as an adult to how he was when he was 16. harry lost a lot then which is a perfectly good reason to get angry easily. he would NEVER want his kids to experience what he had with the death of his parents, friends, sirius, and other people he looked up. also harry would never want them to experience life with the dursleys. and it would make no sense to blame the part of his voldermorts soul in harry because it was destroyed the night in the forest. all around this book/screenplay was horrible and completely contridicts certain facts J.K. Rowling created in the original 7 books

Honestly, Smith could be the Hufflepuff that goes dark for a short period of time, enchants Cedric’s body to scare the Durmstrang boys, and un-enchant him. That would be a likely storyline. No Cedric becoming a Death Eater, no disrespect to Hufflepuff BTW, but if any Hufflepuff were to go Dark easily, it would be Zacharias Smith.

But she has since released a lot of those missing parts onto her website. One part being her back story on time turners. She goes into detail about why it is not possible to go back in time more than 5 hours.

Polyjuice is brewed by new kids faster than HERMIONE could in the old books. Voldemort who doesn't understand or want love, made love to Bellatrix with no explained utilitarian reason. He doesn't seem to gain anything from it. None of the new characters develop enough, and the old characters don't face trials in adulthood. Harry Potter world's best Auror investigates NOTHING.

We never get into sexual urges in the Harry potter world. So we don't know how he felt about it to say it was out of character. We do know that people get drunk and Shit in the Harry potter world.

Agreed, and he always viewed himself as somekind of god, far above everyone else. Too far above anybody else to lower himself to them (pun intended). "I, who has stretched the limits of magic, who has gone further than anyone before me ever dared to." (i remember him stating something like that)... If anything, it would have been more believable to me if he had magically created some "child" of him somehow using Dumbledore's powers. even though it's canon that magic can't be stolen. But with some smart wrtitng they might have gotten away with that, some form of dark magic that is able to mimick/recreate another's ability/talent or whatever

Love is not necessary to sire a child.

[@gotnochill1924]

@@שרלילה-ג6כ yes you're right, but people like that always seem to hate the idea of family. But Harry always wanted to have a family of his own, and also the compassion he showed towards his friends and others throughout the entire series is pretty evident he would not be a negligent dad.

[@shadestrider1033]

Did his time under the Weasley’s roof mean nothing? Molly considered Harry to be like a son and went out of her way to do nice things for Harry. Even if he grew up in an emotionally abusive household, that doesn’t change that he was compassionate towards people and that he actually had a family that didn’t treat him like the plague.

Sorcerer’s Stone: I’m the first book and I’m a great introduction to the magical world Chamber of Secrets: I was the first sequel and proved Rowling could keep a good story even in a sequel; I also started setting up the Horcrux storyline Prisoner of Azkaban: I added new, finer details into the magical world as well as introducing Sirius Black Goblet of Fire: I had a good mystery and epic twist at the end; I also had good pacing- and of course, I brought Voldemort back to set up later plots Order of the Phoenix: I, though being the longest book in the series, had a lot of details and new parts added into the series; I also introduced the prophecy that becomes crucial later on- furthermore, I give huge insights into Harry’s mind and the isolation he feels Half-Blood Prince: I brought Harry and Dumbledore closer together, as well as revealing more about Voldemort; I added a new part to Draco Malfoy’s character; I have the very emotional death of Dumbledore; and I set up the entire plot for Deathly Hallows Deathly Hallows: I am the phenomenal series finale, with an amazing balance between emotional character development and action-packed magical duels; the characters go on a great adventure to destroy the Horcruxes, eventually killing Voldemort and ending his terrible reign once and for all Cursed Child:

Thank you so much for your work on this video. I hadn't planned to read this book and now after this video there is NO WAY I will read this book. I have just finished reading all seven of the books for the first time and loved them all and to have them ruined by this one book would anger me so much so I appreciate you saving me the trouble. While I understand people can be affected by the circumstances that they endure in life, it seems hard to believe that Harry, Ron and Hermione would change that drastically and so completely different from the original canon. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said all Rowling saw was the check they sent her and she signed off based on that. This book sounds like it would ruin all the love that I have for Harry Potter after reading the books. Thanks again for your hard work.

Excellent breakdown. I remember checking out the synopsis when this came out and laughed...and ignored it. The thing that sticks out in my head is that all of the idiotic nonsense in the play happens DIRECTLY after the end of the 19 Years Later scene in which a Father comforts his son, tells him of the bravest man he ever knew, and gives him the tidbit about the sorting hat before hugging him and helping him on the train. The play should never have been made with the story that they tossed together. Also, Rowling almost certainly is under contractual obligation to NOT denigrate the material. Otherwise someone in r/l obliviated her.

[@MotherBra1n]

you are far too kind . Severus Snape would never say "I am proud that Harry has named his son after me." That scene was nonsensical fan service. Amos being annoyed with Harry is also nonsense.

They impersonated j k Rowling for a day and came up with this

[@georgemillman6774]

Even if Rowling hadn't destroyed all Time-Turners in the books, there's a much more simple reason why the Time-Turner plot doesn't work. In Prisoner of Azkaban, it's made quite clear that the rules of time aren't like in Doctor Who with separate timelines. There is one timeline, that always exists and was always going to exist, and incorporates anyone who will change time in the future. For that reason, wizards who travel back in time can't actually CHANGE anything, they can only cause what always happened the first time. Dumbledore already knew, when he suggested that Harry and Hermione use the Time-Turner, that Buckbeak had escaped. First version of Harry was being attacked by Dementors and saw a mysterious figure who looked like his father warding them off. Second version tries to get closer to see who it was that saved him the first time, and then realises it was actually he himself. Nothing different happens the second time than the first time, it's just a different perspective. And that's an important thing to have, because otherwise they could just reverse time and change it whenever anything bad happens. How was this not flagged up?

[@georgemillman6774]

And here's another one... one of the most important messages of the series is that 'it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow up to be'. Giving Voldemort a kid in the first place is stupid, but if they were going to absolutely insist on that it would be far more consistent with the message of the original books to actually give her a redemption. If Delphi is destined to be evil just because of who her parents were (I presume she's the titular 'Cursed Child', although it never quite says) that completely defeats the most important message of the original story.

[@anuradha313]

Exactly, thank you! I was shocked to see that this wasn't talked about anywhere. Time turners just take you back in time, not to a parallel universe/alternate reality!

You seem to be forgetting that in that same book Hermione mentioned that mcgonagall told of accounts that the past HAS BEEN Changed but it always end disastrously, the same thing reiterated on pottermore.

[@georgemillman6774]

@@Thegravedigger0 I haven't forgotten, and I know Hermione said that. The exact quote is 'Loads of them have ended up killing their past or future selves by mistake', and it's unclear how that works. If you kill your past self, it's a complete paradox because then you'd never have lived to go back in time and cause that to happen. Killing your future self is a bit more possible, but then you'd question, if you knew it would result in your death, why you'd go back in time in the first place (perhaps it was in attempting to prevent their own deaths that these people died in the first place). The way Hermione says it, she's simplifying it to make Harry understand that he can't meddle, so the precise veracity of how it works can't be inferred from her words. Nevertheless, it's made extremely clear from the way it's written that there is one single timeline. And the content of the books takes precedence over what is on Pottermore if there's a clash.

Like someone said: it’s a *Harry Potter* book. It’s got his name in it. He should still be a very important character whose constantly learning from new experiences. But I do like that they kinda skipped to fourth year. They probably could’ve done it better, but it’s ironically original. It shows that life at Hogwarts isn’t always an adventure or that the students don’t have to constantly deal with threats. Some years, Hogwarts is just.. Hogwarts

The handful of good things in Cursed Child are the newer ideas; Draco reflecting on his childhood jealousy, The children of the Trio not all being friends (I wish they had explored Rose and Albus' strained friendship more), Albus being in the shadow of his father's legacy while his siblings are more in line with what people expect. Even Scorpius' crush on Rose could've been an interesting way to show how the reputation of Slytherins had improved post-voldemort. Everything the sucks about Cursed Child are the things that are aiming to "recapture the magic" of the original story. Let's face it, the only reason the time-turners are here is so we can revisit a bunch of scenes and locations from the original story. If the writers had let Cursed Child fully focus on the the next generation, and what's going on in the present day, we could've had something really great. (Also, I actually really like the Blanket Scene. In my most generous reading of it, Harry was trying to recreate what Molly did for him in his 6th year; give him an old family heirloom to show Albus that he's a truly loved part of the family. But because Harry has been so closed off about his past, Albus doesn't fully understand the significance and just thinks he got a shitty gift, while his Gryffindor Siblings got better. But again, the writing rushes past this scene, so it's really easy to brush it off as Al being bratty. Again, it all comes down to the crappy writing that cares more about the past than the current day, which is a great metaphor for where the HP franchise is now, tbh.)

Palpatine having a kid is definitely weird and I'm not a fan of it, but at the very least I'll give them that it's not massively inconsistent with his character. For Voldemort on the other hand, it absolutely is. I mean, his two main defining traits are 1) his complete inability to have any sort of connection with other people, or even to really understand them, and 2) his absolute obsession with living forever. Both of those would leave him with absolutely no reason to need or want to have a child.

[@randomgirl67]

3 reasons why nobody should like Cursed Child: 1. THEY MADE CEDRIC A DEATH EATER EVEN THOUGH HE HELPS HARRY WITH THE EGG 2. IT RUINS TIME TRAVELLING 3. ISN'T THERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANY TIME TURNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did my first read through of this… or at least I tried to. After two hours of my life that I’m never getting back I am both laughing and screaming at this plot, so terribly to the point where I’ve stopped reading and don’t plan to continue. The ONLY and I mean ONLY logical and redeemable character in this is Scorpius. Every other character I despise and I think their choices are illogical and infuriating. I came into this book knowing that there were some issues with it not following canon, so I was prepared for that. What I was NOT prepared for however was the characters. I’m debating on whether I’m in a parallel universe or if the writers just got the characters so terribly wrong. It’s sad how much I have to say about them when I only finished a third of this sad excuse of a Harry Potter story, so I’ll skip over it so I don’t further infuriate myself. As a lover of storytelling (be it movies, books, stage plays, etc.), it is with great sorrow that I have to say a Harry Potter story was the first story I’ve ever hated so much I was unable to continue it. I give it a generous 0/10

[@drakke125Channel]

There's NO reason for harry to be repossessed by Voldemort or even any such evil thing that resembles Voldywart in the slightest, so I don't get why they thought this would have made any sense. Voldy is GONE from his body, no traces whatsoever. The only thing that would have made sense is if there was a horcrux left unchecked.

[@drakke125Channel]

@Gngiu I was under the impression that ron prob matured quite a bit actually esp with Hermione there to straighten him out, and Harry and the others would have made sure Ron wasn't doing anything stupid as well before the wedding. Even this unforgivable curse of a fanfiction/play referenced Ron being less of a man cuz he wasn't married to Hermione in the alternate timeline. This whole book was a bad dream/nightmare that never should have existee.

Adding on to the time turner flaw, time turners don’t actually change what happens as you can see in the prisoner of Azkaban. If you don’t understand what I mean, basically, they don’t change time, they let you go back in time and see what happened from a different perspective. Also, in the last scene of deathly hallows part 2, Harry says to Albus after he asks if he gets put in slytherin, “Then slytherin house would have gained a wonderful young wizard.” So it wouldn’t make sense AT ALL if Harry was ashamed of albus being his son.

@@elliottsimms3363 Right? I just thought it would have been cool to see some growth in a character that was, for the most part, completely one-dimensional. We could have a confrontation between Dudley and his parents with Dudley maybe being afraid and then not allowing them to see their grandchild because of how they treated Harry, ultimately leading to Petuna finally putting aside her hate for magic to be a part of their lives. The kid could have his own mini-adventure, maybe team up with Harry's kids against whatever new beastie or dark wizard is terrorizing the school, tying in a bunch of old characters and their 'where are they now' stories while watching trough the eyes of a completely new character, all leading to Harry and Dudley meeting again. Nice, heartfelt, simple.

[@TheAlanReviews]

The story contradicts itself. I remember Harry said the ministry has no time Turner's but they reveal a time turner on the end. In addition, Harry telling his son he wishes he wasn't his son, but he was hurt when he was questioned how many people died for him and sees his own family get killed.
