What the gently caress Zore posted:Presumably the Ministry does since they have at least four different wizard cop divisions dedicated entirely to stopping people from loving around with Muggles I mean my guess is that you'd probably have to leave the UK, yeah. Wasn't that what Grindy did: gently caress of to east Europe or somewhere that is apparently far more under the radar for wizards?

Didn’t Voldemort gently caress his snake before it was a snake? When it was just the asian lady not named Cho Chang?

It’s a girl and her name is Delphini. She goes by Delphi Diggory after imperiusing dead Cedric’s dad into thinking they’re related.

"Voldemort fucks" makes basically no sense within the context of how he was portrayed in the actual text, so of course it's now canon courtesy of JK.

The thing about wizards is they all have robes and hats, ergo they all gently caress.

Also it's super boring to just make the child of two of the most vile people from the original series also evil: why not actually make them a good person who's constantly being poo poo on for their parentage, and maybe there's a lesson in there for our heroes and some dramatic irony in them ultimately becoming friends with the child of their father's worst enemy? Oh wait Rowling is a hack, n/m.

Barudak posted:Is she also somehow a cop? Just a time traveling nazi. Yes the cursed play makes heavy use of time turners and alternate universes if you were wondering E: it’s canon that if Cedric Diggory survives the tournament he ends up killing Neville and causing Voldemort’s triumph. So maybe JK’s one good retcon, it’s clear that Neville was the chosen one all along Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Sep 12, 2020 |

Every new fact I learn about the cursed child is more embarrassing than last to the point where Im convinced the play's script when written out is a picture of you, the reader, naked in highschool forced to take an exam you didn't study for

On the other hand, if you've accidentally written the plot of the lion king 2, maybe consider that fact before running to the publishers.

Having watched the Lion King 2 about 5 times against my will, its not so terrible a film. You know, for a kids film with a song about gently caress rooms.

Shine posted:Do what, now? It was a joke but the sequel has a song called Upendi which is their "can you feel the love tonight" but its presented as a cheap tunnel of love ride, starts with the monkey forcing the lions to kiss and then leading them into a hidden place to upendi, and the lyrics focus on physical actions rather than emotional ones. Its not like the monkey says "this is why waterbeds are not all they're cracked up to be" but its a weirdly non romantic song about love for a disney film Edit: its also incorrect swahili, it should be Upendo Barudak fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Sep 12, 2020 |

I always took Upendi as a metaphor for how great it was to be in love, but I was most into the movie when I was nine. Anyway, Cursed Child could only be improved by Harry exiling Scorpio Malfoy from Hogwarts while a group of students sing a song about his evil is as plain as the scar on his face, while meanwhile the ghost of James Potter schemes to get him together with Harry's son.

The main thing I remember about Lion King 2 is the song that they're singing when they're kicking out male lead lion for some misunderstanding, which was very angsty and resonated with me more than Harry's angstiness in the later books where he's kind of just an rear end in a top hat for not much reason. I guess since he was from Scar's secret family, the whole romance was between first cousins, which is probably better than Simba gettin' with his half-sibling. There's a reason why male lions generally find a new pride.

In some ways Lion King 2 is the superior Lion King movie Example 1: Simba’s singing voice in LK1 is just some Toto singer but not even the Toto singer everyone knows Simba’s singing voice in LK2 is CAM MOTHERFUCKING CLARKE

The woman who sells food on the train tries to murder Harry's lovely son with grenades for getting off the train early. she also grows claws and i think phases through a wall at some point. There's an alternate reality where Voldemort won and Malfoy's son Scorpius is called The Scorpion King. The whole play is about time travel, something previously established in Prisoner of Azkaban, and it directly contradicts all the ways in which time travel works in that book. Cursed Child is truly batshit and it's astonishing that even a dickhead like Rowling thought any of it was a good idea.

Shwoo posted:I always took Upendi as a metaphor for how great it was to be in love, but I was most into the movie when I was nine. It is supposed to be, and you are totally correct, about the feeling of being in love. The issue is it doesnt really talk about the emotion of being in love so much as lines like "All the pink flamingos are intertwined" and "You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow" which is why it feels off. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues to surprise me with ever more embarassing new little details. Soon Ill learn it thanks the province of Xinjiang

After Harry receives the message from the boys, he and his allies use Draco's Time-Turner to travel back in time to save them and stop Delphi. While waiting for Delphi, they deduce she intends to convince Voldemort to abandon his doomed attempt to kill Harry, ensuring her father's survival and allowing her to be with him.

It also bungles up the theme of your blood not determining how evil you are since, hey, Kovu's not actually related to Scar. dordreff posted:The woman who sells food on the train tries to murder Harry's lovely son with grenades for getting off the train early. she also grows claws and i think phases through a wall at some point.

The whole world would've been better off if everything Harry Potter-related was Obliviated from Rowling's memories, because holy loving poo poo! The things the stick out the most are the fact that Scorpius and Albus sound like they could be replaced with a shiny rock and absolutely nothing woudl change, how instead of rehabilitating Voldemort Jr., the cops ship her off to Azkaban with the implication that she'll get her soul sucked out, and that Scorpius maintains the heteronormative status quo because Rowling is a coward.

I don't think I ever really had the patience for that level of y/a angst, and by the time I was in like middle school I was pretty much done with fiction written for teenagers. Which I guess I was weird, but I wonder how old you were supposed to be when you first got into the books to still be into some of the most insufferable teen angst when they finished 10 years later.

Yeah, book 1 has the initial fight be the impetus for the three becoming friends in the first place. 2 doesn't really have a bit fight. 3 has Hermione get really hacked off about Harry sneaking into Hogsmeade and the big fight over Crookshanks killing Scabbers between her and Ron 4 has Ron turn on him for being picked as the fourth champion and they fight until after the first challenge. Also the fun Ron/Hermione fight over Krum. 5 is peak 'Harry being a prick' and has him pulling a ton of mopey bullshit though I don't remember any specific big fights. 6 has the Ron/Hermione blow up over Lavender but Harry isn't involved. 7 of course has the big moment where Ron loses his poo poo and leaves for a bit.
