10 Emotions A Potter Head Has While Reading "The Cursed Child"

Read Brightly

" Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is a script/play that came out on July 31, 2016 -- the birthday of the character we have come to love quite a lot over the years, nine years after the last book came out and 19 years after the original characters left Hogwarts.

As an avid "Potter Head" of the books/movies, I definitely read the newest edition to this story. I also went through my fair share of emotions while reading. I don't think there's a better way to describe these emotions than by using Harry Potter gifs!

So, without further ado, here are the emotions every "Potter Head" goes through while reading "The Cursed Child."

1. Anticipation

What is going to happen in this play? Will it be good; will it do justice? What will happen?

2. Excitement

OMG OMG OMG it's here! I'm reading this and it's here! Nine years of waiting, and the crew is back!

3. Nostalgia

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and so many others. Wow, they're all back, and it's like I'm a kid again!

4. Tears

Wait, Snape and Dumbledore (through his painting) are in this? This is not OK! Alan Rickman is gone; Snape can't be back. And why didn't Fred or Sirius make an appearance? Harry sees Lily and James (his parents, not his kid). I am not OK with this. Not. OK.

5. Confusion

What is happening? Did their travel change what was supposed to happen? Why aren't Ron and Hermione married? Wait, who really is "Delphi?" Why is she so secretive? Wait, she's Voldemort's freaking daughter?! Are you kidding me? Who knew Bella and the Dark Lord had a thing?

6. Anger

Harry, will you please stop talking to Dumbledore? It isn't real! He can't actually talk to you the way you think he can. And wait, why doesn't Albus like his father? Harry would literally give his life for his son. OK, OK, I know he has pressure on him. I guess I understand.

7. Jealousy

I want to be in London watching this play right now. All these people are smiling and laughing and crying watching this play, and I'm in America just simply reading the script.

8. Laughter

LOL, Delphi, you thought you had the greatest wizarding crew of all time, didn't you? Well, you're one funny gal if you thing you're going to stop the Harry Potter and his crew!

9. More tears

Albus and Harry have a moment together. Albus now knows how much his dad loves him. Harry has never felt more joy, and I haven't ever felt more moved. I could't help but cry... literally. I mean, the story is over now; my favorite childhood story has concluded.

10. Approval

If Snape approves, we have no choice, am I right? I definitely approve of this story and thank J.K. Rowling for allowing us to read it!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
