firstly, fuck J.K.
but the play wasn't bad at all, I did like Scorpius and Albus a lot and the story and characters carries you over some awkward writing 

pros:
- by virtue of it being a script, it's quick to read, punchy and gripping. the plot whisks along. 
- it went darker than I expected and I liked that, it wasn't afraid to shy away from the dark stuff explored in the OG canon, and even go darker with the world that could've been
- I've read scorpius and Albus fanfic for a while so it was cool to see where aspects of fanon had come from

- delphi made a great villain and was unexpected but interesting

cons:
- the impact on Albus of being Harry's son still wasn't entirely explored and could've been more addressed. their relationship was better, but there was still real pain for Albus in being different 
- i liked Harry and draco's new friendship but it was a bit of a fast turnaround
- Harry was just generally dislikable tbh and ginny was unremarkable, as she was in the books imo. the kids definitely stole the show. 
- there could've been more of Harry still healing from the trauma, but what was there was pretty good. 

overall, i did like it a lot. shame (one of) the author(s) is a pile of shit.
