In the week following the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD script, J.K. Rowling had one chance to address the concerns of her fans that the play lacked a basic continuity with the other books on their shelves. We saw our friends reaching out to her on Twitter. We watched and waited.
We told her it wasn't canon. We attempted to point out the errors. And her response told us a lot about how she viewed the new material.
Canon... CANON? Wait... WHAT?? You're telling us that this is ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED CANON? So, just to get this straight, Voldemort definitely had a child with flipping Bellatrix Lestrange?
And... Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy were *physically* present during the Triwizard Tournament? And Cedric killed Neville? And... No! No! I don't believe you.
You told us all would be well!
You promised!
