People are Freaking Out Over How Perfect the “Cursed Child” Casting Is

by Stephanie Bailey · June 4, 2016

It’s getting closer!! Opening day for Cursed Child is rapidly approaching!! Over the past few days, the cast of the play has been revealed. Oh my, are the families’ appearances spot on. I took to Twitter to see how the fans were reacting.

Day 1: The Potter Family

When I saw this casting, my jaw dropped. Wow, this casting is perfect. The people of Twitter seem to agree.

So strange/surreal! Harry looks like such a stern parent haha #CursedChild https://t.co/6qKJWZvu38

— Liselle Sambury (she/her) (@LiselleSambury) May 31, 2016

I agree!! The rebel has left the building and a father has entered!

I don't understand why people are complaining about Harry and Ginny looking older, people often age after 19 years. #CursedChild

— Ethan Dalton (@EthanDalton96) May 31, 2016

It is such a drastic change, though! We are used to our young trio. Imagining them older takes some getting used to!

Us, too, Fabricio, us, too.

 

The new #CursedChild pic is exactly what Harry saw when he looked in the Mirror of Erised 😢 https://t.co/71SDCES6Km pic.twitter.com/MKIhC9LNGh

— FUSE TV (@fusetv) May 31, 2016

Hhmmm… what do you guys think?

 

 

The cast for the #CursedChild looks spot on amazing. 👌🏻⚡️

— Heather (@PsychOFromMars) May 31, 2016

Overall I have to agree. So far the casting is pretty spot on.

 

Day 2: The Granger-Weasley Family

Love, love, love this family portrait! How good do they look!?

OMG I love Rose! She and Albus will kick ass. Bring it on #cursedchild

— Mademoiselle Natty (@MlleLane) June 1, 2016

I can’t wait to see the shenanigans these two get into!

 

Why are people so annoyed about the fact that there is going to be a black Hermione? I think she's gonna be fab!!😃 #CursedChild

— ash🏳️‍🌈 (@AshFazackerley) June 1, 2016

Couldn’t agree more with you Ash!

 

Can I say I love that pic of Granger-weasley family? Can I? So I LOVED THEM. #CursedChild

— Liz – I'm back and not dead (@Liz_Nandes) June 1, 2016

We say you can. Scream it to the world!!!

 

https://twitter.com/Thriftygal/status/738034610941091842

Gotta agree with you there. There is still one more family to cover, though!!

 

Day 3: The Malfoy Family

You think there is room for one more in the Malfoy family? I would love to sneak my way in there. 😉

Draco looks like DiCaprio's evil twin, complete with "evil" beard. #CursedChild

— Elon Musk, who fucked his cat (@maxfieldstanton) June 4, 2016

Hahaha, interesting comparison. That doesn’t seem like a bad thing, though.

 

https://twitter.com/will4567891011/status/738729593817989120

Like father, like son. They seem to be two peas in a pod. Let’s hope Draco’s attitude is different for Scorpio’s sake.

 

Think it's a sign of maturity that Draco Malfoy has embraced the fact that he's evil and named his kid Scorpius in #CursedChild

— Gray Williams (@gray_books) June 3, 2016

That sneer is perfect for a Malfoy!

 

I can’t wait for the next bit of Cursed Child information to be released! I agree with Scott when he says,

The #CursedChild cast photos this week have me so pumped
