Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two

I'm not exactly sure how I should react to this, how I should feel about it. I think that overall I'm just happy I knew the whole story beforehand, because it sure saved me a lot of disappointment. Gods, this play is definitely not good. Don't get me wrong, I haven't seen it live, and I bet the cast is really great and all, but... really? This plot? Time travel? Voldemort's daughter? Come on. It feels like a bad Disney sequel.

Having said that, well—
Is it awful? Y-yeah, kinda... but—I love Draco and Scorpius Malfoy so much, though; I'm not even mad I read it. Fine, I did get mad at first. When I first read the spoilers, I was angry and—I don't know—Harry Potter was (IS) a huge part of my life, and I felt wronged. Can you blame me? Read this book—no, read it. Then answer: can you blame me? I bet you can't.

Reading the script now, ages (one month? I think) after getting to know its whole story on the internet, is... eh? What to do? I was hoping it wouldn't be true; it is. It exists, it's out, I can't do one thing about it, and that's that. Draco and Scorpius both have some great scenes, and they made me happy. Albus is a sweetheart. I can't say it was a bad read. It's... okay now. It's bad fanfic, and I'm never going to accept it as my HP canon, but I'm trying to keep it positive here.
