Harry Potter & The Cursed Child: 18 Biggest WTF Moments

10. The WTF Snack Witch

Cursed Child WTF
Warner Bros.

Alright, Cursed Child. Calm the f*ck down.

I can deal with time travel and alternate realities. I can even deal with a few plot holes if I just sort of stop concentrating, but what I cannot deal with is a !*$% Terminator trolley witch throwing pasty grenades and weaponising chocolate frogs. How much acid do you have to take to dream that sort of thing up?

Not only does the Trolley Witch turn out to be a secret bad-ass policing who gets off her train, but she also has GIANT SPIKES THAT COME OUT OF HER BLOODY HANDS. I might have to have a lie down.

Now, this is played for comedy, and is pretty hilarious, until you think back to that time the Trolley Witch let Dementors on her train without doing anything at all with her pasties. So she's clearly terrible at her job.
