Okay, but it's still a sequel to another work. The story itself made no sense, regardless of formats.

I understand limits, but the basic plot has to work, regardless of form. Did you read the play?

I read it, but more out of curiosity canon investment; I was a very casual Potter reader back in the day, and never in the fandom. And from my view, the story worked fine. Is it /profound/? No, but god knows HP never was. It's silly but it's got a heart, and from what I hear, that hearts really comes across on stage.

And from not-a-superfan, but from someone who likes the theatre, it bears repeating: a stage play /has to/ be simpler and denser than a novel. It /has/ to emphasise different aspects, it /has/ to use different storytelling tools for making the same point. I'm sure Voldemort's daughter is the ultimate Mary Sue on FFN, but your average audience of the play probably doesn't read fanfic. And in a play where parents and children is both the central conflict and the central theme, it only makes sense that our cackling villain is acting out of that same motivation.
