eldabeEveryone knows about the new Harry Potter stage musical that's in the works, right?
So...Harry Potter/Matilda crossover?
Honestly, the only way I can imagine this not being a horrifying look at years of child abuse is to take the Very British Rhoald-Dahl-black-humor attitude. Also, Harry needs just one friend and/or friendly acquaintance. Because eleven years of isolation are not only a terrible thing to contemplate, they seem likely mess up a kid way more than we see in the books.
Anyway, between this and the upcoming movie, Harry Potter fandom is going to have some new delightful canon to play with. Also, we can all complain to each other that we don't have enough Marauder-era stuff. I need some Lily being awesome.
