[Somehow, Albus manages to survive his first year at Hogwarts. At the start of second year…]

Harry: Albus, I’m concerned. It doesn’t seem like you have many friends other than that Malfoy boy.

Was there even a point to giving her that hair? Both Tom and Bellatrix had black hair. So, why couldn't the play just say that she has dark hair?

If I saw a fanfiction story with that description - V daughter - silver & blue hair, it would be one I automatically skip. I wouldn't read it. The whole Cursed Child sounds like a really bad fan fic.

That's why I thought that this was a joke when I first learned about what happens in the play. I mean, dear Lord, I thought that "The Prince's Tale" and HBP sounded like fanfiction while I was reading them. This surpasses both of them.

So many times I've seen HP fans mock HP fanfics for having these exact elements: an OC who has unique hair, an OC who's the long-lost relative of a canon character, time travel that doesn't make any sense, canon characters who've been made OOC, etc. But this story has all of those things and it's published. It's been approved by J.K. Rowling herself.

So, as far as I'm concerned, anybody who loves this play but rips apart HP fanfics because they have these exact same elements has no room to talk.
