SnitchSeeker staff member hpluvr037 got to see Part I Tuesday evening, and gave this vague yet great review of the production (more to come on Wednesday):

Much more has been released online about the production, including plot points, but as said before, they will be hidden and covered behind spoiler cuts. In order to see them, and not be tempted until the rehearsal book is out, or whenever fans see it live in London, feel free to scroll well below.

We now come to some of the spoilers for the first part of the play. This will include which actors will play which characters, and some key plot points. This will be all under various cuts.



We've decided to take down plot details for now, but they can easily be searched around the internet, including on Reddit and Twitter. J.K. Rowling has called out those who did release plot details and as such we'll take them down. The cast list does not reveal much, so that can stay here, for now.


Pre-order the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script book hardcover on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and WBShop now.

WHAT??

WHAT??!?

WHAAAAAATTTTTTT????!?!?!?!?!????

aww man now i really REALLY want to see this. like HAMILTON levels want to see this :x3::x3::x3:

I'm ambivalent about this plot. Why oh why oh why oh why oh why??????

Mindblown.

Oh. My. God.

This is so exciting I'm so excited and I'm crying because I can't see this play because I want too so bad.

OMG!!!! I want to see this so badly, but I can't. SO I pre-ordered the book. :woot:

I wanna see too :x3: But I ordered the book on Sunday xD

awww SS took off the spoilers.

anyways yeah, Ravenclaw Redditors are cross analyzing every aspect of it, its quite amusing to read :lol:

Oh wow. *had searched for plot details*

I really should pre-order the book!

if all those spoilers are true, i cant understand how people fall in love with this story after all harry potter legend. of course, in the other hand, i respect every different opinion but this all just seems like one epic prank to me. it is like a badly written fanfic done by a 10 year old. i am sorry it was a dissapointment for me.

So having seen Part 1... All I can say is it is SO well done. If you've read plot spoilers and don't like it, I'm sorry. It's absolutely FANTASTIC so far. If you haven't seen it with your own two eyes, I wouldn't pass judgement on it yet. Wait til you read it. Though, I suspect it won't transfer to the page as well as it does to the stage. I think this format was exactly right for it.

I mean...it's not terrible, but Cursed Child just doesn't live up to the rest of HP. I'm not sure how it could, and I kind of wish JKR could've just left the epilogue where it was. That being said, it does exist, it seems promising, and I wish I could see it. The plot has some iffy parts, but they might work out onstage?? I haven't given up yet. Alas, I live way too far away to ever see it.

I just jumped to the bottom of this thread to comment (without reading anything) to say that I solemnly swear to not get any spoilers of the Cursed Child before reading it.
