Harry Potter as the teacher of DADA

I just want to shout loud agreement with many_ these_ negative_
reviews_ of “`Harry Potter and the Cursed Child`_”. It is really
a bad fan fiction signed off by J. K. Rowling for reasons I don’t
want to speculate about (yes, I guess, most her money go to
Lumos, so that is the good thing in the end). 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. Take a look at all those reviews
I linked to, and I agree with them wholeheartedly.
