Harry Potter (Wizarding World Universe) Book • Page 11

I'm watching all of the films for the first time right now. Just finished Half Blood Prince. Boy did I hate the filter on it. Just a very ugly looking movie.

 

The original cast? I’m in.

 

Can’t wait for that. Will make for excellent New Years Day viewing

 

The fact that the original cast is coming back together for a reunion like this has me convinced that there will be a Cursed Child movie with the original cast at some point.

 

What was that book even about? I never read it. Was it good?

 

I don't think it was a book? Wasn't it a play?

 

I think you’re right, I think they published the script in book form though? I should have worded it differently

 

I enjoyed reading it, but I can definitely see why a large portion of the fan base shunned it.

 

It was probably about some TERF shit

 

Voldemort has a secret daughter who is secretly evil and tricks Harry's and Draco's sons into messing up the past.

 

Man, she's secretly his daughter and she's secretly evil? Twists within twists!

 

M Night on tap to direct

 

There’s been a lot of talk lately about turning it into a film. Chris Columbus said something recently about being interested in turning it into a film with the original cast, so it’s gained some traction.

As for the play itself… the story has some issues, definitely. It’s also one of the coolest stage productions I’ve ever seen, so there’s potential there for a movie.

 

Cursed Child is pretty good. The problem is that a lot people that read it as a book (it being Harry Potter and all) don't understand the difference between reading a book and reading a play.

 

My god, the Snape exposition dump after his death was so fucking bad.

 

I will say I don't actually remember anything from Cursed Child apart from some angst, not even the main plot points Henry mentioned lol

 

I liked Scorpius and the production is pretty cool. Reading it as a book would probably be boring

 

Making a film would give them an opportunity to let Albus and Scorpius actually end up together, which is what should have happened in the play.

 

There is a zero percent chance they would change that.

 

If the original cast returns for another film would it have to be the cursed child? Maybe a new original story would be better compared to adopting a play.

 

I saw the play in London (both parts) and it is incredible in that setting but the characterisation of Harry just didn’t work for me.

A theatrical visual masterpiece though.

 

Were you able to ONLY see Part 1?

 

No I saw both parts on the same day.

 

Yeah, you’re right. It doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t, though.

 

If they make an adaption of it they shouldn’t because it’s not what happens. It doesn’t matter though.
