Is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Canon? I have heard some debate on this. Some people think it is, some do not. Does anyone know if JKR said herself if it is canon or not? The people who think it is not, is that just their opinion? They don't want to accept the way in which the characters and plots are portrayed? Also the play is obviously not apart of the novels so I'm confused. Any answers?
Is Cursed Child canon to the original story? From what I am hearing the stage-play called The Cursed Child is based on the characters from the Harry Potter series. It is set 19 years from the end of Deathly Hallows (i.e. When Harry's children are starting their time at Hogwarts).   I have also seen the J.K. Rowling has had at least some involvement and been on the set and a part of rehearsals, etc.   My question is has there been a statement given relating to the canon of the stage play to original series? If so, would any conflicting information be considered a retcon?  Related:  - but not dupe because this asking about in-universe information.

Java: Avoid inserting duplicate in arraylist What's a word like "disregard" or "bypass" that means "hides"? Writing a compiler in its own language Intuitively, it would seems that a compiler for language Foo cannot itself be written in Foo. More specifically, the first compiler for language Foo cannot be written in Foo, but any subsequent compiler could be written for Foo.  But is this actually true? I have some very vague recollection of reading about a language whose first compiler was written in "itself". Is this possible, and if so how? Can an infinite set A be larger than an infinite set B but still have the same cardinality? Definition. Two sets have the same cardinality iff they can be put into one-to-one correspondence; or,     $$A \simeq B \iff |A| = |B| $$    This definition applies to infinite as well as to finite sets. It follows from the last three definitions that set $A$ has a larger cardinality than set $B$ iff both    a proper subset of $A$ and the whole of $B$ can be put into one-to-one correspondence the whole of $A$ cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with any proper subset of $B$.   From: A Crash Course in the Mathematics Of Infinite Sets Peter Suber, Philosophy Department, Earlham College  The last part specifically refers to proper subsets of $B$.  That excludes at least one subset of $B$, namely $B$.  So, is it possible that the whole of A cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with any proper subset of $B$ but may with $B$ itself? Why did he not say "any subset of $B$"? List or IList Can anyone explain to me why I would want to use IList over List in C#?  Related question: Can a magus with a high BAB cast two spells or attack and cast, with their full attack action? Suppose you are a level 10 Magus or something similar. (Something with a decent BAB progression and spellcasting abilities) When you hit +6/+1, can you cast a spell, then attack, vice-versa, or simply case two spells?

How can I remap a keyboard key? Can you use your off-handed weapon for your main attack action? My friend is 2 weapon fighting a flesh golem. He has one sword that does lightning damage, and one sword that does fire damage. His right hand holds the lightning sword, and his left hand holds the fire sword.  My friend wants to attack with his left hand because lightning heals the golem. However, the DM says that because his left hand is his left hand, he can't use it as his "main" hand, and only attack with it. Is this rules as written/intended? Select top 10 records for each category I want to return top 10 records from each section in one query. Can anyone help with how to do it?  Section is one of the columns in the table.  Database is SQL Server 2005. I want to return the top 10 by date entered.  Sections are business, local, and feature.  For one particular date I want only the top (10) business rows (most recent entry), the top (10) local rows, and the top (10) features. How to deal with variable income in the budget We have a budget planned out for various categories, and in order to make ends meet we count on child support for my wife's child from a previous marriage.  However, lately we have not been receiving this amount.  How do we deal with this in the budget?    My wife has just been "borrowing" it from our savings, but I don't think that is reasonable given that I find it highly unlikely we will ever be able to recover it.  On the other hand, she doesn't think it reasonable to cut out of her budget and cutting it out of the budget for the kids (which is where it really should be going!) isn't reasonable either.

SOQL: Comparing two custom relationship fields in a nested query This may be a simple question, but how do I use files starting with "-" with command line programs?   For example,  I am trying to use pdfgrep on a file named -2013-01-01.pdf but it complains that there are no options defined for 2, 0, 1, 3 and so on.  Changing the filename to something that does not start with "-" solves it, but this is not an option since the files aren't created by me. I simply want to check for a specific change I know is coming. I would like to know why does electrons flow through a wire connected to a battery as said in .It tells that "the electrons that are stripped from the carbon electrode is collected on the zinc can" and then tells     The electrons at the negative terminal want to go to positive terminal, they just need a way to get there. In our light bulb circuit, the way to get there is through the wire.   Why couldn't the electrons go to the positive terminal through the electrolyte(potassium hydroxide) instead of going through the wire? Answer didn't load temporary Is there anything in Objective-C similar to C# yield return A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate   without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or   describe its subject.      Ex:      Alan is a beast.      Alan seems drunk.   But I would say that some linking verbs can be used with "continuous tenses" &amp; other linking verbs can not, but I am not sure.      (linking verb) to experience a particular feeling or emotion      Ex: I’m feeling a little better today.      Do you still feel hungry?   So, feel in this meaning can be used with continuous tenses  But I would think this sentence "Do you still feel hungry?" does not make much sense because it uses "simple present tense" which expresses something that happens regularly. Noone would feel hungry regularly.  So, that sentence "you feel hungry" would mean "you always feel hungry".      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to have a   particular physical quality which you become aware of by touching         adj.         The water feels warm.      Its skin feels really smooth.    says "Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs."  so, "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is always warm" (simple present expressing things that happen regularly - more or less permanent action)  But "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is warm now" (simple present with non-continuous verb expressing things that is happening now - a temporary action)     : (linking verb) to seem; to appear         adj.         to look pale/happy/tired      That book looks interesting.   In dictionary,      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to   give the impression of being or doing something         adj.         She didn't appear surprised at all.       (to somebody) (to be) something (not used in the progressive tenses): to give the impression of being or doing something (synonym:   appear)         adj.         You seem happy.   So, we cannot say "you are seeming happy" or "you are appearing happy".  But I am not sure I can say "You are looking good" (sounds right to my ears) or "That book is looking interesting." (doesn't sound right to my ears)  But we can say "The future’s looking good." ()  So, some verbs has the same meaning but one can be used with "continuous" &amp; the other can not, right?  Ex: "you are looking happy", but "you seem happy".
