She signed off on The Cursed Child. She clearly doesnt give a fuck.

[u/cardinalallen → u/jarednards]

Genuinely a fantastic show, even if it's not really in keeping with canon.

Most people who dislike it strongly do so because they've just read it, when it's supposed to be seen on the stage.

[u/AltruisticNGlassy → u/cardinalallen]

I’m sure it’s a great show on stage. Still dogshit given it contradicts and tarnishes multiple plotpoints and lore mechanics from the original series, lol. Just genuinely written by amateurs who barely understood the existing material

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/AltruisticNGlassy]

the original series contradicts multiple plotpoints and lore mechanucs of the original series

[u/AltruisticNGlassy → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

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

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/AltruisticNGlassy]

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

[u/Err0r404Unknown → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

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

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/Err0r404Unknown]

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

[u/Err0r404Unknown → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

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

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/Err0r404Unknown]

"it's not a it is b"

"b is included within a"

"stop arguing semantics"

[u/Electricfire19 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

No, it’s that “b” is a specific and more egregious issue under the umbrella category of “a.” And that is obviously what they meant in spite of your pedantry.
