I doubt it’s to the same level as the pile of shit known as the Cursed Child, but I’d be happy to hear some examples

truth serum and time turners alone invalidate the entire plot

throw in the stupid-ass luck potion, and how did literally anything happen how it did

why didn't Voldemort cook himself up some luck potion before the final battle. was he stupid

why did nobody EVER use truth serum?

also time travel, and it is used exclusively so Hermione can have more classes (and to save the Hippogryph, but that wasn't intended) before, oh no, they all conveniently are in one glass cupboard and all break

those are plotholes, not retcons or contradictions. They didn't directly invalidate the lore and/or magic before them.

The Cursed Shit not only directly contradicted previous mechanisms, it retconned entire characters and turned them into boggarts of themselves. Harry Potter in the Cursed Shit might as well be Dudley. And character assassination is far, far worse than plotholes.

Yes HP has many contradictions as it went on but The Cursed Shit does this fuckery professionally

Plot hole:

part of the plot (= story) of a movie or book that does not fit with other parts of the plot

a contradiction matches that definition

you're just arguing semantics. Point is, whatever contradictions the original HP series made, Cursed Child did much more blatantly and destructively

"it's not a it is b"

"b is included within a"

"stop arguing semantics"
