That makes me EXTREMELY happy. I've never been able to wrap my head around that moment, it felt so out of character in a variety of ways.

I guess they didn't want to have to pay John Williams for every performance."

 

I also think it's not a sequel to the movies. They didn't want to draw that connection.

 

"I'd love to read about any more changes people have noticed between London and Broadway."

I can't get the spoiler function to work, so I won't list all the changes I noticed here, but I've detailed them in some tumblr posts for anyone interested: 

Part 1 

Dialogue changes

Part 2

Do you always have that reaction when people don’t agree with you opinions word for word? I’m not a plant, hon. I’m an obsessive fan. I wish I got paid for this, but I only do it for love.

Anthony's Northern Irish so his natural accent wouldn't have workedeither. That being said, he had described why he picked that way of speaking in this article:

It has stood him in good stead for Scorpius, whose pinched, higher-pitched tones are the result of some careful research. “I played about with the voice a lot. I remember seeing this very posh English boy on the Tube with his mother. I was fascinated, so I moved and sat near him so I could listen. And I watched documentaries about young boys at Eton and other posh, private schools, and became familiar with that tone, the resonance, the way they inflect.”

I've seen two others on forScorpius and they don't do the same type of accent... I prefer Anthony's take.

And although he has comic moments (as a foil to Albus' seriousness), I wouldn't say he becomes a comic sidekick, especially in the library scene and the first part of Part 2."

Anthony is amazing. He brings so much depth and complexity to the role. He absolutely deserved his Olivier.

I'm not sure what the standards are for Tonys, but it had eleven Olivier nominations and an at the time record nine Olivier awards in London. Best script, Best Actor, Best supporting actor... It will be interesting to see if it's different in the US.
