No, I don’t want to +consider it as a cannon (even though apparently J. K. Rowling +does_). Anyway, that review would not make me write this post, +because all these reviews on YouTube covered the play better than +I could. I believe, certainly theatre play should be better seen +on the stage, so perhaps it is better and it doesn’t sound so +horrible when played by real actors. Anyway. + +The thing which made me to write this post was this_. One thing +which actually bothered me in the original novels was that +I really wanted Harry to turn up into the teacher of DADA. Harry +is the guy who got a bunch of the fifth (and some fourth) year +kids with poor or none training in the combat. Lupin didn’t teach +much of real combat, spent most time with defense against +dangerous animals/creatures, and other teachers … well. So he +got this bunch of kids and whipped them in three or four months +into an unit which was able to sustain an attack by the +two-to-one numerically superior group of fighters of the caliber +of Bellatrix Lestrange (and most or all of them producing The +Patronus Charm which is supposed to be extremely difficult). Yes, +it was just for a moment, and they need help of the Order of +Phoenix to actually save their asses, but still I think it is an +achievement which most actual graduates from the Hogwarts can +just dream about. Whatever this guy does is the pure waste of +time if it is not teaching and training! + +Yes, this is not a proper review, but I really don’t want to +waste more time on this book.
