The 10 Stages Of Celebrating "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child" Being Published

Potterheads rejoice! On Wed. Feb. 10, some of the best news ever was announced. Scholastic released a statement that it would be publishing the script for J.K. Rowling's new play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The play is based on the magical Wizarding World we all came to love through the "Harry Potter" series. The play is set to hit the stage in London's West End this summer.


When the play was first announced, Scholastic released a press release:

“It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.”

Naturally, Potterheads (like myself) were very excited about the script being published. Here are some reactions many of us had to the news.

1. First, you were sad you were going to miss the play.

Flying to London just isn't practical, is it?

2. Then, you were shocked the script was being published.

Is this too good to be true? Are we really so lucky to get more "Harry Potter" related material?


3. But it's true and you couldn't be more excited.

The anticipation is killing me.


4. The release date is the same day as Harry and J.K.'s birthday, July 31.

Ugh, it's just so cute and perfect.

5. Then, you realize July is far away.

Why must you make us wait so long, J.K.?!


6. You feel your patience being tested.

I just want to read it right now.


7. But then you remember J.K. is giving you the gift of the script and it's all good.

It's truly a magical gift.


8. You're so ready to know everything about the play.

I need to know now.


9. You're already preparing for your social life to be dead once the script is released.

Finishing the book is the most important task at the moment.


10. But most of all, you're excited to return at last to the Wizarding World.

We've missed you so much Harry, Hermione and Ron. Welcome back.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
