Check out our review of the actual Cursed Child play! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqeVncmGnJjLn2Q.html

I think JK Rowling was under the Imperius curse when she approved this......

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

‘Thank God I died before this book was written.’ -Dumbledore, Snape, Mad eye, Sirius, Lupin, Lily, James, Fred, Tonks, Dobby.

A newcomer in HP series: How many books are there? Potteheads: seven Newcomer: but there is one more book isn't it? Potterheads: the first seven were created by Rowling, the eighth one was a fanfiction. Newcomer: can you name it? Potterheads: We do not speak of it it is the book we potterheads fear above all others.

We’re all clear on one thing here: Harry Potter has 7 books. Period. What happened after Deathly Hallows? They all lived happily ever after and Cedric stayed dead. Thank you very much.

Why is it called Harry Potter when it’s not even about him

Cedric in the goblet of fire: “Take the cup Harry, take the cup, just take it.” Cedric in the trash book: “Oh you won? Man, I really wanted to win, I guess I’ll just become a death eater🤷

The "I wish you weren't my son" line was exactly when I closed the book and returned it to the store. Now, I'm glad to learn it's great for me to have dropped it, and it's worst than I imagined.

Stop saying that this was fanfic written by a 12-year-old. Even a 12-year-old can write better than this.

The “Book that Shall Not be Named”.

Harry and Dracos kids becoming friends is the only interesting/nice idea from the entire book.

Dumbledore said that there are things worse than death. after seeing the horrors within this book, I agree.

Why would JK let such a muggle write Harry Potter

This is Harry Potter. 🧑🏻 👕 👖 He’s played by Daniel Radcliffe. And will only be played by Daniel Radcliffe.

I almost died when he said “you expect me to believe that Voldemort had sex”. I feel like that’s me when I discovered that in the tale of the three brothers that the third brother had to get a wife, and have a kid while in the invisibility cloak to hide from death. Moral of the story: the third brother had some insane game

Petition to have Morgan Ross rewrite the script. I am sure the whole fandom would accept it as canon.

So, Bellatrix touched You-Know-Who's You-Know-What.

Let's all act like this book doesn't exist

Why did they even choose Cedric to be one of the villains? It works for Pettigrew because he depended on powerful people to protect himself, but Cedric being a death eater is impossible.

They really thought Harry, who used an UNFORGIVABLE curse (granted against a death eater) on someone because he spit on Minerva, would treat her that way.

Cedric became death eater? They made a Hufflepuff a death eater? Writers were smoking some strong dope Weeds.

*“The Cursed Child is not canon. Morgan said calmly”*

Plot twist: the cursed child was written by both Rita skeeter. Dolores umbridge. gilderoy Lockhart. And uncle vernon Dursley.

Roses are red 🌹 Violets are blue 🔵 The Cursed Child is just a fanfiction ✍️ And I know that you agree too 😃

I consider the Potter Puppet Pals more canon than this fanfic

Let's not forget that Cedric wanted originally Harry to win....why would he get mad when he loss?

I am so mad at the writers for making Harry a terrible person.

For me one of the hardest parts to believe was Voldemort having a daughter because he was incapable of love and he only longed for power

The book, Cursed Child is literally cursed by 90% of the fandom.

Any second now Rowling is gonna jump out and say J.K.

"You can't magically create life" Malfoy: "Hold this magic snake I just summoned"

I mean they made albus hate Harry when they had such a sweet relationship in the end of the deathly hallows

So basically they ruined the storyline of 7 books with one book

“It’s like a crappy Fanfiction.” .....Buddy, Fanfiction can tell better stories than this crap!

“Rowling did you put your name in this garbage fire?!” Movieflame asked calmly.

Me before reading the Cursed Child: Oh I heard they brought back time turners! Maybe they will save Fred! Me After: *Calls The Ministry Of Magic* Hello? I think we finally found something more trashier than Umbridge.

im sorry but this book sounds like a fanfiction by some human who was not a harry potter fan

Rita Skeeter could write better🤦‍♀️

The problems are that 1. Everybody is misprotrayed. 2. An heir to the heir of slytherin

In the battle of seven potters it was Dumbledore who came up with the idea to use seven Harry´s. So Harry only fought voldemort alone once.

" *THATS RUBBISH* " -Fred & Gorge

the cursed child: *exists* every person whose every read harry potter: “sTop sTOp stOp, yOuR dOinG iT wRoNg”

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.

What went wrong with “The Cursed Child” ? it exists

They should either continue the series properly or leave Harry's legacy alone

Harry signing autographs, bragging about his heroism Me: 😂😂😂….😑😑 WHAT ???!!

Gilderoy in the second book: arrogant, snobby, a show off, prideful, has to be the best. Harry in the “book that shall not be named”: arrogant, snobby, a show off, prideful, has to be the best… looks like someone got there characters confused when writing the “book” and I’ll give you a hint *John Tiffany, Jack Thorne*

ok rita skeeter probably wrote this book edit: i came back to this comment after two years of posting it and omg the replies 😭😭 i love potterheads

Albus Dumbledore: Don’t pity the dead, Harry, pity the living, and above all pity the ones who bought The Cursed Child.

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.)

There’s one thing I would add though: Developing the characters. We barely see much of Rose or James (Lily and Hugo are acceptable because they’re younger and just getting used to Hogwarts) and I think that it’d be cool to see how the Golden Trio struggle with parenthood/adulthood. 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

This was somebody else’s comment but it’s accurate: Every TRUE Potterhead would know that if Cedric lost, he would congratulation the winner

This book is secretly Voldermort's 9th horcruxes

Voldemort having a daughter? That's as weird and grose as the Emperor in Star Wars having a grand-daughter

I has a slight headcanon for Delphis conception: "Master, I want your baby" "Fine, take it, not like I need one. But I'm not paying child support"

That person who rated it 5 stars were under the imperious curse

Cedric would NEVER become a death eater he literally said "go you take it you saved me" to harry he wanted harry to win

" I'm sure most of you have read it, or have heard enough about it to know not to read it" That was COLD

My mom: why are you screaming? Its just a book... Meanwhile me reading the cursed child: HARRY WOULD NEVER😡😡😡

If the real Cedric would be butthurt that he lost the Triwizard Tournament then why did he keep insisting that Harry should take the cup and win???

This book is complete rubbish. Harry Potter, the boy who was abused for ten years of his life, Harry Potter, the boy who grew up with no parents, would never, ever ever ever ever talk to his son like that. Not even as a joke. Not to mention the Mcgonagall thing. He cast a fricken unforgivable curse for her!!!!!

The only thing good about 'The Cursed Child' is a conflict between parents and children. I am not that surprised that Harry wasn't nominated for 'Father of the Year' award) He was raised in a family that hated him, so from psychological perspective he doesn't have an adequate family model. Harry's fatherhood is a constant trying to do what he thinks is right, but obviously sometimes it backfires. Damn, he said so himself, that he is as good at fatherhood as at paperwork. And it feels like, when Harry said to Albus that the faculty doesn't matter to him, he didn't mean it, like he said so because he didn't believe it was possible. And then he said if Albus was like James or Lily, it would be easier to him! Not a rare occurance when parents doesn't even try to see their kid's perspective and instead make them match some image.

The writers really done said “Frick the books let’s write a badly written fan-fiction”

"A terrible story is a terrible story, there's no fixing that" -MovieFlame

Harry Potter and the cursed book

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.

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.

My favourite line was Scorpius:people think I’m the son of voldemort Albus:You can’t be you have a nose!

"Your telling me that Voldemort had sex." It killed me.

Jack and John are the Beavis and Butthead of the Wizarding World! Lol

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

Wait till my father hears about this book

Main 3 problems: 1- timeturners just don’t make sense 2- how can voldemort have a daughter 3- changing the depiction of harrys and cedrics characters

The way the screen writers wrote Harry's character was as if they were basing it off of the Harry Potter SNL skit 😂

The worst part of Voldemort having a child is that a key part of his character is that he literally cannot feel love or affection!!!! (He was conceived under a love potion which means so)

They ruined the best Hufflepuff representation we had

On the subject of Amos Diggory, I should point out that, in Goblet of Fire, Amos specifically told Harry that he *DID NOT* blame Harry for Cedric’s death, and even refused to accept the tournament prize money when Harry offered it to them. So no, having him suddenly decide that he *DOES* blame Harry in Cursed Child just doesn’t fly.

17:39 Hermione has to go through a process called deniggafication

Voldemort: "As the heir of Slyitherin, I despise the fact that this book says I will have an heir. I will not die and do not need somebody to replace me. Now if you exuse me, I need to torture the filthy mudbloods who made this cursed book."

JK Rowling: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." Cursed Child: NOT!

Turns out Voldemort had another horcrux... Harry Potter and the cursed child 😂

Let’s just say that this doesn’t count They lived happily ever after and Voldemort was dead

Non potterhead: What about the Cursed Child? Us: WE DON'T TALK ABOUT CURSED CHILD NO NO NO WE DON'T TALK ABOUT CURSED CHILD BUT! IT WAS THE TRAIN RIDE DAY (harry's son's train ride day) HE WAS GONNA BOARD AND SCARED THAT HE'D BECOME A SLYTHERIN (plot twist he's a slytherin) HARRY HELPS HIM WITH A COMFORTING GRIN (next year) WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR A TIME SKIP (makes no sense but go on) HARRY BRAGS ABOUT HIS FAME (what the heck is this) THE NEXT YEAR HE DOES IT AGAIN (harry don't do this) CANCELLED FOR ETERNITY (you ruined him but anyway) WE DON'T TALK ABOUT CURSED CHILD NO NO NO WE DON'T TALK ABOUT CURSED CHILD

Harry knows what it's like to grow in an abusive household, why on earth would he be like Vernon Dursley to his son?!?! Also Cedric, a Hufflepuff as a Death Eater?? At this point might aswell just obliviate ourselves to think that this book doesn't exist

Me, whose never read The Cursed Child: *asks about The Cursed Child* Potterheads everywhere: we do not speak its name.

You forgot about the part where Harry used a polyjuice potion to become Voldemort YET there was not a spec of hair on Voldemort's head at the time and they would've had to either knock him out in the past or hope there was some shred of hair vaulted or preserved in the future.

They also got Draco wrong. Draco, after suffering so much from her father would never be harsh on his child when he also lost his mother.

They did Cedric dirty. We can't forget him telling Harry to take the Cup in the GOF Maze scene in the film because he'd saved him. "You saved me, take it!" And also before that in the book prior, POA, Cedric wanting a rematch when he won that Quidditch match because he felt he won unfairly when the Dementors attacked Harry, causing him to fall off his broom. He absolutely would NOT have become a death eater for losing a tournament or even been upset about it.

For me Harry Potter ended with the Deathly Hallows

Theres a 99% chance that the other 2 writers didnt read the other 7 books

I read the script a few weeks ago, and I cried at Harry’s mean and abusive lines and Ron and Hermione’s death. But happiness took place when they came to rescue Albus and Scorpius.

Reasons why Harry would NEVER be rude to his son: 1- He grew i an abusive household hating every single aspect of it. yep, that should do to explain why the writers never even opened a HP book

Harry in this book acts as if he was one of the Dursleys

If you know the dancing scene in the Deathly Hallows (Hermione and Harry) Emma Watson who wanted to stay true to the books as she read them all, didn't agree at first. Now there's this script and play that totally throws off the Harry Potter characters' dispositions and how they act and talk, and Emma Watson thinks it's better. I just wanted people to know...

7:45 "That was no accident; it was by design."

To be honest, we would probably have preferred to have a prequel about the marauders backstory then this rubbish 🚮

"Your telling me Voldemort had sex" Hermione: excuse me i have to go barf Me : honestly same

I also hated how they displayed harry, someone who was once our favourite character, disrespecting all the people he respected and loved, being cocky about his past and being absolutely destroyed in a duel vs Malfoy after saying " I don't want to hurt you "
