Daniel Radcliffe explains why he won’t see ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’

TwitterFacebook

There’s a certain amount of pressure on Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, but Radcliffe revealed why he hasn’t and likely won’t.

“It would not be a relaxing evening at the theater,” Radcliffe told Seth Meyers on Late Night. “I feel like I would be being watched for my reaction.”

“Maybe that is completely conceited and egotistical and people wouldn’t care,” Radcliffe added about his paranoia, “but I do feel if I was just surrounded by Harry Potter fans, I’d feel like…it would be a little odd.” Read more…

Harry Potter play ‘Puffs’ now available for purchase

TwitterFacebook

We’ve heard all the fuss about Cursed Child, but before the Tony Award-winning play even built an audience, Puffs was growing a loyal following with the sweet story of Harry Potter’s years at Hogwarts, all told from the perspective of oft-forgotten Hufflepuff students.

After making it to Broadway and running successfully for more than two years, Puffs is now available for digital purchase so you can experience those eventful years for yourself.

Written by Matt Cox and directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker, Puffs is less Cursed Child and more A Very Potter Musical, as far as the Potter theater genre is concerned. It’s a tight one hour 45 minutes (no songs) packed with jokes that poke fun at Potter canon while appreciating the effect of Harry’s adventures on his fellow students — and it gives the Hufflepuff house the credit they always deserve, but rarely get.

‘The Crimes of Grindelwald’ makes a major Harry Potter canon blunder

TwitterFacebook

Critics everywhere have slammed the latest Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, as there’s an absurd amount of confounding plot crammed into the 134-minute film. 

Yet, the film carries a problematic canonical oversight, too: Minerva McGonagall briefly appears as a young-adult wizarding instructor at Hogwarts in 1927. The trouble is, according to Harry Potter lore, she wouldn’t have even been born at that point.

Fantastic Beasts 2 takes place in 1927 and features a 20-something Minerva McGonagall teaching at Hogwarts. BUT according to Pottermore, Professor McGonagall was born on October 4, 1935 making her a -8 year old Professor. Impressive.
