I have not read it. I don't plan on it. I don't believe in the HP epilogue, so these characters mean nothing to me.

I have read a review of the play and it makes me not want it more.

But I've also heard a lot of people enjoy it.

I should've started a new thread.

I have read of the Epilogue hate.

I only want it as souvenir, a first edition bought at a NY bookstore at that.

Tho I do think the fans where expecting too much, like a YA plot when HP is just a book for kids and this one is just the script of a play for kids. Tho, I found cool one of the main plot points that fans seem to hate, but I'm that kind of reader/viewer.

I don't know if you ever read Little Women but I'm totally fine with Laurie/Amy and pretty much everyone hated that Jo/Laurie didn't end up together but to me it made complete sense that as they matured they grew apart. My only problem is that the publishers didn't let Alcott have Jo end up single.

I hate that someone above won't let characters end single. What's wrong with that??!

It was 1869.... women should marry. The author stayed single all her life and had to live with the stigma of being a spinster.

Why you dislike the HP epilogue? I was never invested in the story enough to care but I've read about people not liking the couples that ended together. I do think is unrealistic to marry you school crush.... maybe in 1800.

My #1 all-time favorite ship is Harry/Hermione. And, yeah, I don't like that Ginny had a a crush on him before knowing Harry and gets to marry him. ~~it's like Dan/Serena!~~

SolveMyMystery · 08-11-2016, 10:18 PM

GG scarred us!

I didn't get that Ginny had crush before they met but the only movie I watched on the theater was the one Cuaron directed and I tent to be distracted when watch TV.

People here thought Cuaron preferred Harry /Hermione or Hermione /Draco because of the punch that is such a Mexican/LatinA trope of early teen romance.

Have you play Pokemon go? I just installed it but I felt so weird walking around looking at my phone.

The screenwriter for movies 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 is FOR SURE the captain of our ship. not sure why he didn't write OotP. ~~because it's got the most HHr in the book?~~

I do not play it, but my bosses and the girls in my office at work play it. I just listen to them. And I want a pikachu stuffed animal in my life.

Well, I remember media said that JKR hated that Cuaron changed/added things of the book and stuff got cut out. Probably she didn't want to give the screenwriter the opportunity to make H and Hr cannon.

It's weird that he did all but one tho.

I found a sneaky way to play. I have a little crochet bag that hardly fits my phone so I put it there and go.

I got the starter Pikachu.
