Needless to say, I was low key crying at all the scorbus moments, cried actual tears of joy every time Draco helped Harry Potter and nearly screamed out of fear when they let out the dementors. With my sister next to me the whole time.

Hello followers! It has been a while. I'm just extremely happy rn because I finally got tickets to see cursed child! While it kinda broke the next gen fandom (lmao) I’m also a huge theater nerd and well I’ve been dying to see it. Anyways, hope all is well for y’all. Keep on shipping. 

Anyone interested in taking my double ticket to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child off my hands? I changed my travel plans and am now going to London a week earlier.

The facts:

What: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts 1 and 2 on consecutive days

When: Thursday, Sept 7, 2017 @ 19:30hrs (HPatCC Pt 1)                       Friday, Sept 8, 2017 @ 19:30hrs (HPatCC Pt 2)

Seat: Grand Circle A...  (This is the view from the seat:

Price: GBP 40.00 for the double ticket (face value)

I am in London Sept 1 to 5, so the ticket can be handed over in person. Yes, I am aware that I can also return it at the Box Office, but I don’t see the point of shoving 2.50 GBP ticket return fee down their throats.

1. calling the Cursed Child script a screenplay. It’s a script. Not a screenplay. It was written for the stage and not the screen. 

2. dissing it and saying it’s not canon when J.K. literally wrote it and she created the damn world and all you’ve been doing all these years is watching the movie when we know damn well that they took some liberties from the books.

3. calling it bad fanfiction because you have your OWN bad fanfiction stuck in your head and are confusing your fan theories as canon.

4. hating cursed child when you haven't read it OR seen it. 

5. assuming your opinion is that of everyones in the fandom. 

the fact that my absolute queen and genius JKR who created a whole new world for millions of people to worship and dream of and who made up such intricate plot twists and countless of brilliant and original characters, thinks that the cursed child is a good story makes me question everything in life 

and what actually makes me die a little inside is that she supported this silly story to become a SPECTACULAR ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS VISUAL PLEASURE OF A PLAY put on by a group of  INEXPLICABLY TALENTED PEOPLE

however JUST THE THOUGHT OF THE ACTUAL PERFECTION THAT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO EXIST if JKR supported a different, well written, well plotted, well thought out and characterized fanfiction, i mean material, that is out there

jesus yes okay i’m talking about the life and times because that fic is religion to me 

but just imagine... like i’m telling you there is no denying that that play will make you cry out of nostalgia and just pure magic that’s happening on stage while you rage inside and fight with yourself constantly trying to remind yourself how ridiculous the story is

i was just making pasta for myself when this thought hit me and i started crying into my bowl because if TLAT were to become a movie/tv show/goddamn 10-parts-long theatre play i think that would actually be too much for this world to handle

in fact, if it were ANY OTHER GREAT STORY OF THE THOUSANDS THAT EXIST...why did it have to be one of the thousands bad ones trying to trick you into believing that it is great by being technically and visually impeccable and name dropping 200 characters from the books

Hello,The movies are not the base for the ENTIRE Potter universe, they are an adaptation of the original work, which is the books. Anything that was created by J.K. Rowling HERSELF is canon. So, the play, to me, is more canon than the movies. It doesn’t mean the movies are irrelevant now, they are just another take on the story.

She does not ‘become’ black… She just IS, in the play canon.

Honestly, I really don’t get all the drama surrounding the skin colour of this character… If anything, it makes much more sense to me, with Hermione suffering from Mud-blood prejudices, which echoes racists insults IRL.
