Wanna know why she was obsessed with her dad? She inherited that from her mom

Voldemort having sex just doesn’t sound right. It just doesn’t.

[Eskolol]

Voldemort having a daughter was one of the dumbest things ever. I always believed Voldemort to be "above" carnal pleasures. His quest for eternal life meant that he wouldn't even need heirs. Voldemort wouldn't do anything if it didn't serve a purpose and I believe he would have no reason to copulate.

[DaBellOfDaBeets]

It’s kind of hilarious that during all this stuff going on in the movie, Voldemort was like “Hold up, I need to go lay some pipe on Bellatrix right quick. OK now back to the murder.” 😂😂

Things that don‘t make sense:
1.Delphini Diggory
2.Cursed Child

[lilols]

I can’t imagine Voldemort having a child with someone, like the only thing he cares about was killing Harry and being immortal. Nagini is the only one who was really closed to him, he never cared for anyone.

Could have been better if Delphi wasn't actually V's daughter, but just thought she was. You could imply Bellatrix deluded herself into thinking this as well, or perhaps did some weird Dark magic shit in order to validate this delusion. Alternatively, Delphi could just be lonely and ostracized (pretty likely I think) and become obsessed with the idea that her mother, being by most accounts the most loyal and trusted Death Eater, had her with Voldemort. It wouldn't be perfect but better than this, not to mention it would give you another twist to throw in, as everyone would initially believe her version of the story.

My biggest issue with the Cursed Child was that it retconned how time travel works in the HP universe. Rowlings treatment of time travel was genius, it didn't create paradoxes and no alternate time-lines. You couldn't change the future, you simply caused the past that had already happend and you were always the reason the past was what it was. It was clean and logically consistent. This play threw all of that out the window for a much more inferior interpretation.

Cursed child can't be a fanfic, cause a fanfic would've actually followed the laws of the potterverse

[potterheadwithstyle]

Delphi: 'I only wanted to meet MY father'
Bellatrix:' Seriously? I also killed and tortured people!'

[barackobama]

My least favourite thing about the cursed child is how they ruined time turners. Before it was shown to be a loop. The time travel would lead into what happened not change what happened. Then the cursed child comes along and said “what if it was just back to the future?” Such an interesting (and my personal favourite) take on time travel ruined.

One of my friends got me "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" when I was a kid. I was really confused because it was written as a play rather than as a real book. But I did read it, and it was very much like one of those very bad, way too confusing and over-the-top fanfics I still regret reading. But I also read it before I read "The Half-blood Prince". Bad move? Yes.

[hmmmno]

Silver hair and blue tips while your mom has BLACK hair and your father is BALD?

I feel like this character was wasted. Voldemorts daughter as a character had a lot of potential as a character. Imagine voldemorts daughter trying to fit in with the wizarding world trying to escape her parents shadow. That sounds like a great storyline

[SunGodNika-bijr]

*Delphi Diggory exists*

If every Hufflepuff that lost a contest became a Death Eater, Voldemort would've won.

[ViniLdCff]

I'll explain Delphi's life to you very easily: she doesn't exist. The end.

[sohinidutta]

Also, how did no one see Bellatrix pregnant? 😑

[boanoah]

It would've been interesting to see what would've happened if they met, personally I think he'd just pretend to believe her story and then kill her for wasting his time. Voldemort was always self-confident to a fault and I really think he'd assume she's some wannabe sycophant trying to curry favor with the Dark Lord.

In no reality would Voldemort hear he was bested by some halfblood spell cast on a baby being his downfall, if anything the second she mentioned horrcruxs would be the second he'd decide to kill her.
