By request of reader Bluejay, here’s an open thread to discuss Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the stage play and the script book. I have not seen the show nor have I read the script, so I will be sitting this one out.

Assume that the comments below are full of spoilers.

Thanks, MaryAnn!

I’ve read the script, haven’t seen the play. On a different thread, I had posted these two links regarding the queerbaiting that many fans (including myself) saw in the script:

http://www.vox.com/2016/9/4/12534818/harry-potter-cursed-child-rowling-queerbaiting

And I got into an involved discussion about it with Danielm80, starting here. If anyone else wants to chime in, feel free to post on this thread. :-)
