Don't care for next gen or ASP much. Especially since this seems to only be a play available to be viewed by a limited amount of people. At least we might get some new canon info on what other characters are up to! Hopefully after 19 years later.
Me neither; not for the Marauders Era, really. And I also agree that the play format isn’t very fair for a semi-official production, unless they’re planning on making it available digitally.
But as for the last part, you know, I feel very contradicted. I’ve said to @aloemilk that more Harry Potter books could keep coming about the trio growing up after the war and it could be about the smallest things and I’d still read it, but... I’m not sure about that in reality. I think it’s a mix of things... first, because a lot of time has passed after the last book with us knowing that it was the last book, so while I for one appreciate any new info, at the same time you’ve already imagined a whole universe after the books. But I also think a lot of time has passed for JKR as well when she had some ideas of what her characters’ lives were like after DH, but not an idea for a book, so her perception and original ideas have changed, and that’s how we get stuff like last year’s interview where it seemed like she wasn’t the same person who wrote Ron Weasley. Basically, I think I’m a bit disenchanted and that puts me in a position where I’m both glad and terrified about the perspective of getting new information about certain things of the HP world.
