Loud and confusing.
"Too loud and the story was difficult to follow. We had three great center orchestra aisle seats and walked out during intermission. Our 8 year old asked, “when can we go?”"

Disappointing installment of the story
"I liked the stage set, music, and special effects. I did not like the plot/script, storyline or casting. A lot of over-acting. Adult themes. A mess of a story that only shined in the parts from movies (can't explain more without spoiling)."

Chaotic story line
"The first 20 minutes of the show was extremely chaotic and I was planning on leaving during the intermission. The next 30 minutes got better and then all the way up to the end of act 1 I started enjoying it. The special effects were amazing. I was excited during intermission. During act 2 the first 20 minutes were good but past that I could have done without. The show is entirely too long and doesn’t need to be close to 4 hours total. I have watched all the Harry Potter movies and read all the books. I love Harry Potter and was really excited for this show. I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a show so much that I was debating leaving. Would not recommend to anyone to be honest. "

Not a big fan of the story telling
"The specials effects were awesome, however I feel like that’s what you come to the show to watch. The plot isn’t there, I was confused half of the time. It was rushed, it was cheesy. The actors did not encompass the true characters. I am not a fan of the play. "

Sadly disappointing
"We were looking forward to this play, being long time Harry Potter fans and appreciating Broadway theatre and artists. Unfortunately the storyline was terrible and overall the play was excessively long with disappointing performances by most of the actors (although I attribute this to being most directly related to the poor script and plot). There were good special effects, but overall I would not waste the money to see this play for that alone. Within the first 15 minutes we had wished that we had made another show option instead!"

Not worth the time or money
"Some of the special affects were cool but the acoustics were horrible. Hard to understand story line too"

Bad story bad writing
"Special effects were good - but the story was poor and the attempt at humor bad. Poorly written dialogue and relatively unlikely characters. "
