How JK Rowling retains her soul in Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Firstpost  

Warning: Spoilers ahead “But, Ron in the Cursed Child has been reduced to a buffoon!” This was only one of the more heated statements that were exchanged in a conversation I had with a friend the other day over JK Rowling’s new play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. And, so, the most crucial thing about reading Harry Potter and The Cursed Child is understanding that this is a separate universe. Once you’re with the programme though, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child is magical, has the JK Rowling soul but packaged in a new box, and it reinforces an age old adage: things change, people change, but your soul remains the same. *** The one theme that stands out in The Cursed Child in Voldemort’s daughter Delphi and most people I have spoken to have multiple grouses with this concept.
