Geez, the spoilers for this play are wild.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Is Scorpius really his fucking name

What's the issue exactly? Fits perfectly within the naming conventions already established.

HInts of lack of development in Draco to be honest.

Geez, the spoilers for this play are wild.

wild as in people are going crazy spoiling things or wild as in the events of the play are crazy?

How so? Might as well call the kid "Evil".

Oh yeah, all the

time travel shit

sounds awesome.

 

[Skellig Gra]

How so? Might as well call the kid "Evil".

Well Draco is a constellation and so is Scorpius. Lots of fathers give their sons names similar to them. Lots of Harry Potter characters have constellation/latin names especially the pure blood wizards.

 

[Einchy]

Do these sort of things tend to be released on bluray?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Geez, the spoilers for this play are wild.

Considering I'll likely never have a chance to see this play, where can I find these?

 

[Bit-Bit]

Wait for the screenplay!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Wait for the screenplay!

Oh!

I completely forgot about that. Yeah, I'll do that.

 

[commish]

I'll be over in Europe in a few months, considered stopping by London to catch a show. The ticket prices are not kind, and they are still in previews.

[Pappasman]

From reading the various plot summaries out there the story sounds like a mess. Obviously watching it performed will be much better, but the base story sounds awful.

I'm sure it's probably performed better, but just reading the summary makes it sound like the worst kind of fanfic.

That sounds like fucking lunacy, and I couldn't be more excited to see it.

 

[diaspora]

that sounds like a clusterfuck

 

[YAWN]

edit: nvm, late to the convo.

 

[Moppeh]

I always disliked

Spoiler

time travel

in the HP universe. It makes shit super confusing and doesn't have the same pay off as most of the other magical elements.

Still interested in checking it out, but those spoilers have dampened my expectations.

 

[pashmilla]

Not enough brain bleach in the WORLD to cleanse my brain of the mental image of (HUGE SPOILER)

Voldy fucking Bellatrix

[George Oscar Bluth II]

That sounds very... complicated.

Better seen performed I suppose.

Or written competently. The repeated use of "(no homo)" in that post is obnoxious.

 

[PSqueak]

Is Scorpius really his fucking name

We have been thru this before, Ridiculous, stupid names are half of the charm of the HP universe.

 

[ElFly]

Still a better name than wolfie mcwolverton, the secret werewolf

 

[Pappasman]

Spoiler

Instead of doing something new and interesting, this just sounds like an excuse to retread a bunch of old elements from the books purely for fanservice.

It's just like one of my Japanese anime!

 

[clemenx]

The name is cool. It's supposed to be lame for us muggles. Even Harry made fun of Draco's name when they met.

I kinda liked what I read but I'm still hoping for a expanded universe rather than such a direct sequel. Maybe if this takes off she will do something like that. I hope that the Fantastic Beasts movie is good and succesful.

 

[kingslunk]

Black Hermione is an awesome idea.

 

[Sephzilla]

The only thing about black Hermione that bugs me is the continuity from Emma Watson Hermoine, that's all.

Oh no...not like this

That is actually the worst thing I could have imagined, what a bunch of fan fiction esque nonsense

Noooo not spoilers here too. I will be patiently wating for the book.

I only skimmed through Part I, but

Spoiler

time travel? Like, time travel that's not a closed loop and actually changes the future? Bruh.

 

[SArcher]

I'm just gonna ignore this exists.

 

[kewlmyc]

I was surprised that Hermione is being portrayed as a black woman. Had to take a double take. Usually you'd expect a race change in a reboot, not a sequel. It'll take some getting used to, but I'm sure I'll get used to it if this play ever leaves London.

Wish the daughter was mixed though, just for consistency. Unless it's not Ron's kid or something.

 

[googleplex]

Hell, his last name means bad faith in French

I always assumed that happened

with Rodolphus encouraging their relationship because of how crazed Bellatrix was about Voldemort.

Might be a wonky understanding on genetics, but isn't it technically possible, yet improbable, for Rose to look like that despite the mixed parentage?

How so? Might as well call the kid "Evil".

I fail to see how that would go against the statement that it totally adheres to the series naming conventions.

Well, this is just fucking horrendous. Malfoy's part is decent but overall...wow.

 

[Jarmel]

That synopsis is all sorts of shit and conflicts with the way time travel is depicted in the books.

I'm disappointed Rowling.

 

[vainglorious]

We have been thru this before, Ridiculous, stupid names are half of the charm of the HP universe.

Scorpius is a cut above the rest though. That name literally makes him sound like a Transformer or something.

 

[Jarmel]

Part of the charm of Book 3 was that it was a closed time loop.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Yo what.

This is like Kingdom Hearts Harry Potter.

Will still see it.

 

[Krathoon]

It would be hilarious if they did a flashback to kid Hermione and she is white.

Pretty much Boruto

I'm going to read that plot. Your reactions are too good.

 

[sphagnum]

Or written competently. The repeated use of "(no homo)" in that post is obnoxious.

From skimming the rest of that Tumblr it looks like the author is big on Harry x Draco so she's using it sarcastically because she's annoyed that it doesn't appear to be the case that Albus and Scorpius are gay.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Yo what.

This is like Kingdom Hearts Harry Potter.

Will still see it.

This comparison is perfect.
