harry potter and the cursed child book spoilers

I don’t know what other people who have seen the show think, but I found both scenes completely believable.

Several people who’ve read the script have said that they can’t imagine Harry ever saying this, or talking to McGonagall that way. The moments that really got me were when he was arguing with McGonagall, and says that she can’t know anything about being a parent because she doesn’t have children, and when he says he sometimes wishes Albus weren’t his son. He was so true to form his personality is still balancing itself and rage still bursts out at times, but he also just loves being with friends and family. OK, so one thing I didn’t mention at all in my previous post was Harry, because I didn’t know how to get across how good he was without giving examples of lines or scenes from the show. So finally, please please PLEASE do not read on if you haven’t read the script or seen the show! #KeepTheSecrets!!! I’m also writing this under the assumption that people who are reading it know what happens, so I will talk about specific plotpoints. Below follows an in-depth discussion on the parts of the play that are not common knowledge, like how particular things are staged or certain characters that not everyone knows appear in the story.

If you’ve seen the show and are interested in my general thoughts on acting and staging, I talk about these in the spoiler-free version as well. Before you read this, I’d like to reiterate that you absolutely must not read this or any other spoiler-y reviews before you see the play! If you’d like to read my thoughts, here is my spoiler-free review of the onstage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which I was lucky enough to go and see last weekend.
