Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two

There may be a reason that the only plays I have read have be school mandated...or this is actually terrible. To use the word “discombobulated” 3 times in a play is a bit wanky if you ask me. Also, turning Ron into comic relief really irked me. He is a funny character but after 7 books he is a little more than a one trick pony. The obvious effort to make the 2 sons into some nerdy cool outsiders types was clunky and ineffective in the plot of the story, which was very predictable by the way. the conversations between Albus and Scorpius had none of the elegance and the ease that comes with the type of friendship that they were supposed to have, and that friendship was the reason we all love Harry, Ron and Hermione. I don't know if they were trying to capture lightning in a bottle trying to recreate the friendship but they failed. In a colossal way.
