As two people who have both seen and read the play, we (Alison and Sophie) have a lot of thoughts about the experience. Overall, both of us are entirely infatuated with the show, though we do acknowledge its faults. Here, we hope to be able to explain the experience of experiencing this story in both of its forms and how we think that affects our take on it. WARNING: This piece contains major spoilers for the plot and set of “Cursed Child”.

2016’s given us “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, and Ilvermorny. But it’s not like the “Potter” fandom has been lying low since the last movie and book installments. What keeps our love and loyalty to “Harry Potter” alive and kicking? A MuggleNet writer muses on the enduringness of the “Potter” ‘verse.
With themes from the “Potter” series teaching us about love, acceptance, and fighting for what is right, it has given this generation the tools necessary for shaping our world for the better with just a vote.
On the five-year anniversary of the “Deathly Hallows – Part 2” release, we take a look back on how the series has shaped us personally.
Yes, the MuggleNet staff has ALWAYS been this nerdy. And by nerdy, we mean passionate for “Potter”.
Even though she was bullied by her teachers and peers, Hermione Granger always stayed true to herself. Watching her walk courageously through Hogwarts’s halls helped me embrace my geekiness and overcome the bullying that came with it.
For many of us, being Sorted into one of Ilvermorny’s Houses has shed new light on our connections with the original Hogwarts Houses. Horned Serpent may be a place for scholars, but Isolt Sayre’s Gaunt heritage has been making me think about my Slytherin side.
