The Harry Potter fandom has officially reached phase three.

[Super-light spoilers ahead!]

Should you read it first?

JD:There was never any question for me.

No way a rogue tweet was spoiling any of that for me.

MS:Plus, lets be honest one read isnt going to turn you into Wikipedia.

MS:The experience of a play is so much more than just the delivery of a plot.

Which brings us to our next question …

2.

Why did it have to be on stage in the first place?

Which character surprised you the most?

Scorpius is a tremendous asset to the Potter canon and someone Im excited for more people to meet.

I mean, it must genuinely suck to be Harry Potters son.

Im thankful for Sam Clemmett for making Albus far more digestible in person.

JD:I have a good one and a bad one, but Ill start with the latter.

So yeah, that surprised me.

IsCursed Childa valid entry in the Harry Potter canon?

JD:Outside of wishful thinking, I dont see any way you could argue its not.

I understand those concerns and desires to reject, but it doesnt make this story any less legitimate.

No one is going to love everything, but that doesnt negate its place in the canon.

Just askStar Warsfans aboutEpisodes IIII.
