Just stayed up to read it all even though I read the plot spoilers long ago, and even though this was pretty much a ****ty fan fiction come to life and I should hate it, I didn't? I don't know, it just feels so good to have a Harry Potter book in front of me that I don't even care that it was needlessly convoluted and just really bad

I read the first part, I really liked it. I'll be looking forward to the inevitable adaptation.

And I'm done.
I liked it a lot, the story was a little predictable and the fact that it's a play is limiting in terms of how big the scope of the story is. I'm really eager for the inevitable Film/TV adaptations though, if each part runs for about an hour and half on stage then I imagine the films may add more material to them to buff the running time to 2-2.5 hours which could help fill out the plot a little more and allow the story to breathe a bit. Pros - Albus and Scorpius are good lead characters. - The opening scenes are great and I look forward to see them expanded upon when the adaptations happen. - The parallels between Albus and Harry and their relationship is well handled. - The character moments are excellent. - Harry is far more compelling in this then he's ever been in the other books. Cons - The dialogue lacks that JK-ness about it. It's a little clumsy in parts. - The story is a little too fast paced but it's understandable given that it's a play. - The focus is squarely on a small number of characters and it's irksome that some characters get snubbed completely but then again it's a play so it's forgivable -The overarching plot is a little messy and overly convenient. The script succeeds when it comes to smaller moments and relationships but the overall plot needs refining and expanding upon. |

Got through it quite quickly.
I would definitely welcome an film/tv adaptation. It has the potential to work really well on film. I agree with Dezzy that the plot was convenient. It felt a little too fan fiction in some places. I love Albus and Scorpius so much. I ship them.

Spoiler: I think I can keep this part out of spoiler tags but my favorite minor character was without a doubt the Trolley Witch who randomly became a video game boss kind of obstacle with her spikey hands ![]()

Spoiler: But even with all my complaints, I still really enjoyed it in all of its absurdity. I'm still cackling at the Trolley Witch throwing Pumpkin Pasty grenades with her hands-turned-spikes in futile attempts to keep kids on the Hogwarts Express ![]() ![]()

They've done it with stage musicals and sh*t in the past so they should do. They'll probably wait until they've milked the stage show itself for as long as possible for a couple of years. |

Mess ^
I guess a lot of that had to be done for the plot and story. I'm sure if JK had full control/passion into this it wouldn't be as messy

Is it worth waiting for the definitive edition?
How different will it be considering this is the rehearsal edition? |

I reckon there'll be some changes, I think the dialogue will be tidied up a bit and I can see them adding one or two scenes to clarify some of the plot points.
Don't think we'll be getting a recording of the play any time soon though. |
