The 10 Stages Of Celebrating "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child" Being Published

Potterheads rejoice! On Wed. Feb. 10, some of the best news ever was announced. Scholastic released a statement that it would be publishing the script for J.K. Rowling's new play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The play is based on the magical Wizarding World we all came to love through the "Harry Potter" series. The play is set to hit the stage in London's West End this summer.


When the play was first announced, Scholastic released a press release:

“It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.”

Naturally, Potterheads (like myself) were very excited about the script being published. Here are some reactions many of us had to the news.

1. First, you were sad you were going to miss the play.

Flying to London just isn't practical, is it?

2. Then, you were shocked the script was being published.

Is this too good to be true? Are we really so lucky to get more "Harry Potter" related material?


3. But it's true and you couldn't be more excited.

The anticipation is killing me.


4. The release date is the same day as Harry and J.K.'s birthday, July 31.

Ugh, it's just so cute and perfect.

5. Then, you realize July is far away.

Why must you make us wait so long, J.K.?!


6. You feel your patience being tested.

I just want to read it right now.


7. But then you remember J.K. is giving you the gift of the script and it's all good.

It's truly a magical gift.


8. You're so ready to know everything about the play.

I need to know now.


9. You're already preparing for your social life to be dead once the script is released.

Finishing the book is the most important task at the moment.


10. But most of all, you're excited to return at last to the Wizarding World.

We've missed you so much Harry, Hermione and Ron. Welcome back.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
