Quote:

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

BIIIIG mistake. She forgot why her books became so popular: because of the first three (and also partially the fourth). Order of the Phoenix actually was pretty crap - the shitty death of Sirius, the very angsty and annoying behaviour of Harry, Ron and Hermione (which she corrected in the next two books after a TON of criticism) - and while the last two were pretty decent, the first ones were the ones that people remember the best it seems and for good reason. I can't see "Harry being an adult" appealing to kids so it will mainly be for the grown-up fans of the original and if it ends up sucking ...

Yes, a fan-service for dozens of millions of those. Kids are taken care of already - there's a new spinoff book and movie.

Mmhmm but that's why I said this is a BAD idea. Look at Star Wars Episode 1 to see my point. Even the adult fans grew up loving the original books and this play will be a departure of what Harry Potter was about - sure, fans are SAYING they'd love this but I dunno, I think they overestimate how much you can do with characters that have grown up to be quite boring.

Ugh what

SW1 was for kids not for adults, and yes - THAT was a bad idea Smile

Making an 8th installment for the adult fanbase is totally correct. Why would book 8 be for kids lol
