People think she’s off her rocker, but Luna is arguably the most aware person in Hogwarts…maybe the Potterverse....

Between the end of The Deathly Hallows (not including the nineteen-year flash-forward) and The Cursed Child, a lot went on....

The transition also came at the same moment where the franchise was changing, taking on its first new director, after Christopher Columbus directed the first two films....

The Harry Potter books are full of many details and moments, so the movies had to cut many things out or change them to make more sense in a visual medium. Some of these changes were to the plot while others were to the actual characters themselves....
