[HPforGrownups] One more pooint, is Expanded Potter stories

[Karen Lewellen]

No: HPFGUIDX 193330

In the introduction  David yates <spelling> the director says he read the 
screenplay for crimes  more than two years beforehand.  meaning the words 
the   storytelling  painted what sold him.
Besides, speaking personally  part of my brain is looking at depp and 
thinking..how could the cast him so wrong and Law as Dumbledore so 
perfectly?
As for the Rowling-Thorne-Tiffany collaboration that is Cursed Child, my 
understanding  is the play must be experienced live.  The magic is in the 
production more than on the page, terrific lines not withstanding.
