Time turners are used over and over to fix the past? Contrived and a kinda soulless fix to revisit dead characters. Harry having suffered much abuse by his aunt and uncle tells his own child that he is unwanted? Just no. Established characters act completely out of character… Cedric a death eater? Yeah, just not. Voldemort had a daughter with Bellatrix? lol. The ‘story’ itself, the plot, reads like straight up bad fan fic.
It turns out that readers were less upset about the story format than the fact that they paid $15 to $18 for what was basically a rough draft of the story.Ĭursed Child has been out for just under 24 hours, and it has already racked up nearly 400 reviews on, including 124 one- and 2-star reviews. When Harry Potter and the Cursed Child hit best-seller lists last week I expected that a lot of fans would be angry when they discovered it was a script rather than a novel.
