Surprised not to see a thread for this so I figured I'd start one to discuss the new book/play. Hoping for the best here since Rowling reportedly was heavily involved in creating the story, but delegated the actual writing to others since she didn't feel confident about writing a play on her own. Please keep spoilers tagged for those who haven't read it yet. |

I'm a big Potter fan. Love the films and the books, but...
I have zero interest in reading a script for a play. I'll wait for either the actual novel or a film adaptation. |

Finished reading it and I enjoyed it immensely. It's great fun to see these characters again after so long and see where they've all ended up, and the relationships are all written very well. The core characters themselves don't really seem to talk they way they used to in the novels, but this does certainly retain the feel and tone of the novels, and that's a huge plus.
[Show spoiler] In any case, those who are hesitant should give this a shot, it's a fitting new chapter in the series. Dunno how I'd rank it among the books (if that's possible), but I definitely have a more positive reaction after reading this than I following Order of the Phoenix (book was a chore but became arguably the best movie).

I just finished this a few hours ago, and overall really enjoyed it.
The main thing that bothered me was [Show spoiler] Even though I felt like I was reading fan fiction at a couple points, I still had a fun time getting a chance to return to the Wizarding World I remember from my childhood. |

From what I hear is that the plays run for a total of 5 hours.
I'm not sure how they could make it into a film. If they were to make it into a movie (and want to use the movie actors) They'll need to wait another ten years for the core trio to be the correct age. That and they will need to do a lot of de-aging, also replacements for Rickman and Griffiths (and whomever else may die in the meantime). |

[Show spoiler] with no effect on the plot. On another note, found a nice little piece on how [Show spoiler] works in this series, which helps explain (or excuse) some of the more head-scratching moments in Cursed Child.EDIT: here's the actual link -- http://www.vulture.com/2016/08/wait-...ry-potter.html Last edited by imsounoriginal; 08-02-2016 at 12:25 PM. |
