sagewich Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I picked this up at a tiny book shop and wandered around looking for other good reads. Instead, I thought about (1) why was this written and (2) how much i hate reading plays. I did not buy it. Reading the comments here have not made me want to stroll back to get the book.

HexMachina Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 On the topic of Jk Rowling my Goodreads email notified me that here are three more books releasing this month regarding Hogwarts and some character history. Basically stuff she has said on Pottormore/online over the years and some extra tidbits. Really does seem to be milking the cash cow dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 In fairness, my wife hated the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Bringing back this thread to complain. I am surprised so many people liked this. In fact, I am surprised anybody liked it. Abour everything about it is awful I will not even go into the stupid plot, but the structure - that is not how a drama works. I cannot imagine how this worked on stage, I am sure there is a reason plays do not usually make so many time jumps ahead in a row of short scenes, and it is probably: it does not work in performance. The dialogue is just awful, I read the translation, but I cannot imagine the original being any better. The whole thing seems like bad fanfiction. I went into it expecting it to be bad, but not that bad. My head-canon stays limited to the seven books. (Edit: now I realise this post sounds much more serious than I take the book and everything around it. I don't actually take the whole thing that personally and seriously. I guess it was fun in a really silly way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is that people seem to think it works much better on stage than in print form, with the spectacle making up for shortcomings in the script (and if I wanted good written Harry Potter I'd read Methods of Rationality again).

Darth Richard II Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I find myself baffled how nay one would give this more than ZERO STARS. I hate hat hate hate hate hate hate this. Edit: To put that into more perspective, I was more disappointment in this then I was when I saw The Phantom Menace for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
