Read Brightly

" Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is a script/play that came out on July 31, 2016 -- the birthday of the character we have come to love quite a lot over the years, nine years after the last book came out and 19 years after the original characters left Hogwarts.

As an avid "Potter Head" of the books/movies, I definitely read the newest edition to this story. I also went through my fair share of emotions while reading. I don't think there's a better way to describe these emotions than by using Harry Potter gifs!

So, without further ado, here are the emotions every "Potter Head" goes through while reading "The Cursed Child."

1. Anticipation

What is going to happen in this play? Will it be good; will it do justice? What will happen?

2. Excitement

OMG OMG OMG it's here! I'm reading this and it's here! Nine years of waiting, and the crew is back!

3. Nostalgia

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and so many others. Wow, they're all back, and it's like I'm a kid again!

4. Tears

Wait, Snape and Dumbledore (through his painting) are in this? This is not OK! Alan Rickman is gone; Snape can't be back. And why didn't Fred or Sirius make an appearance? Harry sees Lily and James (his parents, not his kid). I am not OK with this. Not. OK.

5. Confusion

What is happening? Did their travel change what was supposed to happen? Why aren't Ron and Hermione married? Wait, who really is "Delphi?" Why is she so secretive? Wait, she's Voldemort's freaking daughter?! Are you kidding me? Who knew Bella and the Dark Lord had a thing?

6. Anger

Harry, will you please stop talking to Dumbledore? It isn't real! He can't actually talk to you the way you think he can. And wait, why doesn't Albus like his father? Harry would literally give his life for his son. OK, OK, I know he has pressure on him. I guess I understand.

7. Jealousy

I want to be in London watching this play right now. All these people are smiling and laughing and crying watching this play, and I'm in America just simply reading the script.

8. Laughter

LOL, Delphi, you thought you had the greatest wizarding crew of all time, didn't you? Well, you're one funny gal if you thing you're going to stop the Harry Potter and his crew!

9. More tears


Albus and Harry have a moment together. Albus now knows how much his dad loves him. Harry has never felt more joy, and I haven't ever felt more moved. I could't help but cry... literally. I mean, the story is over now; my favorite childhood story has concluded.

10. Approval

If Snape approves, we have no choice, am I right? I definitely approve of this story and thank J.K. Rowling for allowing us to read it!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
