I haven't read Cursed Child precisely because so many HP fans hated it. But the play is coming to Melbourne next year and I'm really waffling about seeing it. Tickets are going to be stupid expensive so if I hate it I'll feel ripped off but on the other hand...it's HP. What to do?
My brother, who hasn't read any Harry Potter and probably hasn't seen the movies, saw it in London and loved it. Apparently the production and the way they do stuff on stage is amazing.
It's a weird read though. I don't regret doing it and there are parts I liked, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
I was also going to say I heard the stage production is quite the spectacle and they simply needed to throw together a story as an excuse for the play.
I think some things are meant to be seen instead of read (YMMV). For example, I get lost reading Shakespeare but understand completely when seeing one of the plays or movies.
