'Okay, the Harry Potter epilogue was unequivocally awful for a lot of reasons-'

'Fuck you, Rowling is a goddess and can do no wrong'

'-but there's two reasons why I think it could spiral into an amazing sequel.'

'The cursed child already did that'

'I said amazing sequel, Chad. Shut up. So, reason one, Ginny Weasley might be love potioning Harry. In the Half-Blood Prince, Harry is all of a sudden in love with her, this being preceded by nothing and being introduced by way of sudden inner rage beast of envy - neither healthy nor normal by the way.'

'Right, like you're one to talk about normal and healthy.'

'Chad, I'm a psychopathic asshole, yes, but last time I checked, Harry isn't. I'd honestly love him to be a slytherin and have beginning of darkness story, alas, he is a goody two shoes that should have totally been defeated by the smartest person to ever pass through Hogwards.'

'Dumbledore?'

'Well, the second smartest person to-'

'Rowena Ravenclaw?'

'The smartest and most capable-'

'Lucius Malfoy?'

'TOM RIDDLE! For fuck's sake, I'm talking about Tom Riddle. Ruthless, charismatic, manipulative, strategic...'

'...crazy, traitorous, hated even by his allies'

'Oh fuck off, no one's perfect. Anyway, all this is besides the point. What I'm trying to say is, if we accept that Harry isnt completely nuts-'

'-like you-'

'-then this has reasons to connect to earlier in the book, at the twins' shop, where Ginny, Hermione and Molly are all crowding around the totally legally for sale love potions, with apparently no scruples against using them. Ginnys mother even comes out and says that she used one on Arthur to begin with. It's apparently very easy to sneak into Hogwarts, given Romilda Vane did so.'

'...except the fact I can already see you fantasizing about Ginny's manipulative nature being used on your side, are you going anywhere with this or do you just want to make everyone's world just a bit sadder?'

'This is my second point. Children born of love potion boning turn into magical sociopaths. Rowling has said it is why Voldemort is literally incapable of feeling love.'

'So?'

'So, imagine Harry Potter, the savior of the magical world getting on in life, body beginning to slow down and incapable of following the magic in his mind, realizing he's been trapped in a potion induced haze for decades, and being faced with the rise of three simultaneous dark lords/ladies, his children. Not one, not two, but three Voldemorts, named after the people he loved and respected most, and a life stolen from him.'

'Yikes, have you told your therapist about your creative ideas?'

'I've told my ex-psychotherapist.'

'Okay, uhm, don't get me wrong, that is well thought out and fascinating and all, but, ehm... I think I'm going to go hug a loved one now. Okay?'

Chad leaves and my magnificent mind remains in this idea, picturing it happen.

'From the kid in the cupboard to the potion in the tea cup, nothing's changed Mr. Potter, you've always been trapped. Now go put Albus Severus out of his misery.'
