Comments on: The Cursed Child was fun, but it sucks http://prettygeekery.com/the-cursed-child-sucks/ A bright and geeky lifestyle blog Sat, 28 Apr 2018 14:05:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.7 By: Andrew http://prettygeekery.com/the-cursed-child-sucks/#comment-344 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 19:01:46 +0000 http://prettygeekery.com/?p=2414#comment-344 You’re so right! I agree with you about everything – except nostalgia goggles. The only thing nostalgia did was actually make me finish reading that flaming turd of a script. I remember calling my sister immediately afterward and saying, “It’s not just fan fiction, it’s BAD fanfiction.” She agreed wholeheartedly. We’re both English teachers.

I remain unconvinced that Jo knew any of what was going into that story.

(Oh, I wish the Harry Potter series also had an eighth book. So sad that there’s not an eighth book!). […]

I’m glad my little rant helped you get one book off your TBR list :D!

I liked it when I first read it because I was blinded by how much I loved Scorpius and Albus and Draco’s sort of redemption arc, but now I just keep seeing more problems.

I can understand their innate desire to continuing cashing in on a story that has made them millions, or is it billions? I can also understand basing characters in your writings on the traits of your favorite celebrity/character – but somehow convincing the creator of that character to say it’s a good idea to publish such a thing? I honestly cannot believe that J.K. Rowling actually read the entire thing, or even the majority of it…because as I was reading over the parts that you shared, I said to myself – Harry would never say something like that to his child or after the exchange with Draco, Hermione would have been utterly disgusted with herself. And I just realized that I’m rambling, and I apologize…but I’m so glad that I now have a book that I can take off of my To Read List.
