Just finished this last night. You can read it in one sitting (<3 hours for sure). Anyone else check it out?

I thought it was definitely entertaining, and it was cool to catch up with some characters from that universe but it was definitely corny in some spots. I thought Albus and Scorpious were going to make out or something. Basically, just really good fan fiction that I hope doesn't become / already isn't canon.

Rowling has said Albus Dumbledore is gay, but I've never read anything confirming Albus Potter is gay

I looked into it a little more and apparently there are people in the gay community that are angry that the two (11 year old boys) did not do something to confirm their gay relationship.

Quote :
"Queerbaiting is a term which refers to how authors attempt to attract an LGBTQ audience without explicitly consummating a gay relationship.

Fans have been debating whether Albus and Scorpius’ close friendship in the play constitutes queerbaiting.

Jameson Ortiz, a fan and LGBTQ campaigner, told The Guardian: ‘The writers of the Cursed Child intentionally included this fan theory to draw us in, but decided to change it just enough so that they wouldn’t have to admit that they made two 11-year-olds gay.
