let’s talk about cursed child....
so the book came out when i was like 11 years old, and i remember my dad buying it for me on the day that it was released. reading it as an 11 year old, i remember loving it. my eleven year old straight brainwashed ass was the number one rose and scorpius shipper. i would even say that it was my favorite book for a while, so mind you, when i went to re-read this past week i certainly wasn’t expecting it to be just so shit.
i mean, it was just so fucking bad.
it makes me mad because it could’ve been such an amazing story, but we all know that jk is a lazy writer. (along with the other writers that worked on the story, i’m assuming.)
the concept is there, for sure, but it’s so overshadowed by all of the absolute shit that is also there.
also this is just another case where jk had the perfect opportunity to include some lgbtq rep, and she didn’t. i mean, what were we really expecting from her at this point?
anyways, i thought i’d just list the moments that made me go “wtf” while i was re-reading it.....
-not really a moment, but just harry’s character in general. you’re telling me that harry “i grew up without anyone to love me” potter wasn’t a good dad? hell no. next please.
-okay wtf. albus severus literally makes out with hermione willingly. tHERE WASNT ANY OTHER WAY TO DISTRACT ALBUS? U JUST HAD TO MAKE OUT WITH HER? BYE-
-three words. death eater cedric.
-literally why??? why did voldemort have to have a child with bellatrix???? like i know that’s the main conflict but just no.........
-also albus severus literally flirting with her then..... pLEASE ALBUS WHAT EVEN
-the whole trolly witch thing just like, what even????
-also you’re telling me that hermione fucking granger made it so easy to get to the time turner that 2 kids and and unstable witch could get to it? what....
okay that’s it for now, but overall the whole book was just one big “wtf” moment.
