I just read it!

Collapsed for spoilers but what'd everybody think?

I honestly enjoyed it.

I found some parts of it genuinely delightful, and I'm sure a lot of the clunky or dumb stuff would go over better performed, but...lord what a mess of contrivances and plot holes and just...not what I was hoping for. It felt full of fan-service, but like...surface-level fan service, if that makes sense? The kind that makes a sitcom audience go AAAAH OW OW, but maybe not that kind that makes you go like "AH that's such interesting character/world building info!"

I was dying to see post-DH Wizarding Britain and how the events of the series would have impacted culture and in the end we barely did!

Yeah I TOTALLY get why most people were lukewarm to cold on it, but I was one person who didn't hate the epilogue (That everyone said was too 'happily ever after' bleh bleh bleh) and liked having some actual problems and conflict within a famous family.

See, I wish we spent more time looking at this famous family and their problems as opposed to this weird confused tangle. I'd love to see how Harry, Ginny, and the kids deal with the intersections of fame, expectations, family, trauma, resentment, etc.....but like, it all got sidelined for such heightened drama. I'd rather see more small scale stuff? IDK

Makes sense. I would have liked that too - "Hey you're being a famous auror and mum's writing sports shit and I feel bad and unwanted."

Also; Delphi being a secret hidden character is just too on the nose naming.

I have friends who are still reading it and one of them said he likes Delphi. I keep laughing and wondering if he'll still like her when he finds out she's Voldemort's secret daughter.

I agree! And since I read the play between Aeschylus and Virgil (so I can lesson plan for my students in the fall), I didn't trust her with a name like that for a second, lol

Loved every cracktastic minute of it!

I read the wiki summary does that count? Plot wise I am amused, it reminds me of all the old fix it but realise better to leave it time travel fanfics 😂

I liked it. Even though I kept being reminded of various fanfics I've read.

One thing that's been bugging me is how the trio and Malfoy are calling each other by their first names the whole time. How did that happen when they've spent most of their time avoiding each other?

Little details like that bugged me more than the wackiness of the overarching plot, tbh

Also; Target has these really cool poster that were free with a purchase of the book....so I torrented the book two days ago and just bought the poster for like 1.50$

I just read it today, and as far as cracky Back to the Future parody fic goes, I have to say it was great. But as an official expansion to the Potterverse, I don't care for it, and am glad I torrents it instead of wasting money on it.

Still can't figure out how Albus had his wand in the church scene though, as Delphi broke it in a previous scene. Bleh.

Did it say the wand was his? He could have borrowed it.

It said his wand, but it could have been a borrowed one, I guess. I could have sworn everyone's wands were accounted for though.

There's no way I can get to the play, so I'd like to read the book. But apparently the one that's out now is just the 'rehearsal' edition and the definitive one (with stage directions and extra content) will be released in early 2017. Any thoughts/opinions? I know we can't know what they're going to add, but maybe people who have seen the play can comment on how interesting/useful those additions might be.

I hadn't heard that. There was some minimal description in the rehearsal edition, and I had no trouble figuring out what was happening. I guess it depends on how you feel about reading plays in general. I love dialogue, love reading plays, love having a lot left to the imagination. But if want more details, wait on the other, I guess?
