Harry Potter & The Cursed Child: 18 Biggest WTF Moments

1. He Who Shall Be Repeatedly Named

And finally, since when was it okay to just casually use Voldemort's name willy-nilly? He's still alive, and his followers should be referring to him as The Dark Lord or My Lord as a mark of respect (fear), and his enemies should be calling him He Who Must Not Be Named thanks to the assumed power given to him by using his name (call the Devil and he shall appear).

It's just one illogical inconsistency in a long line of them. Take Umbridge becoming a Death Eater: it wouldn't happen. She was against Death Eaters, it just so happened that she was anti-Dumbledore and firmly behind Fudge. She was a different kind of evil.

There are so many left over questions, and that's not really a great endorsement.
