I’m going to leave you today with a small Cursed Child trivia. Did you know they added ONE noticeable line to the script after the previews and the script book? Want to know what it is?

Old script

MOANING MYRTLE
Such a shame the pretty one had to die. Not that your father is not pretty - but Cedric Diggory - you’d be amazed at how many girls I had to hear doing love incantations in this very bathroom… and the weeping after he was taken.

MOANING MYRTLE
Such a shame the pretty one had to die. Not that your father is not pretty - but Cedric Diggory - you’d be amazed at how many girls AND BOYS I had to hear doing love incantations in this very bathroom… and the weeping after he was taken.

And this, my pals, is how they decided to discuss sexuality. A single line. We ask for Scorbus and we get… more proof Cedric was hot.

To be honest, the subject is so ignored by JKR I actually gasped when I heard it. But it’s just scraps, like always. This is so frustrating.
