It comes as no secret around HOL halls that I absolutely detest the Cursed Child. No shame to those that liked the play, but as an ardent lover of established canon, it did not really sit well with me. Although I like the idea of further exploring the world of Harry Potter, a story that infringes on the set of rules, characters and world building is not really for me. I would have loved it more if the main cast had their adventures separate from the main story of HP books.
So, as I was trolling the Wizarding World site for some inspiration about the topic of the month at HP Talk, I found several Cursed Child quizzes on its site. I only know the rough outline of the Cursed Child story, so I thought to myself, why not try my hand at these to see how much will I really score.
Quizzes I had taken were Complete the quote quiz: Albus Potter edition, What happens next in these Cursed Child scenes?, The Cursed Child Quiz: The Little Details and The Scorpius Malfoy Challenge Quiz.
My results were as follows:
Complete the quote quiz: Albus Potter edition
4/10 · Scored 40%
Result: Not quite a dism-Al result
What happens next in these Cursed Child scenes?
1/10 · Scored 10%
Result: A cursed result
The Cursed Child Quiz: The Little Details
6/10 · Scored 60%
Result: Mediocre to the last degree
The Scorpius Malfoy Challenge Quiz
7/10 · Scored 70%
Result: Bow-chuckle
It was not as horrible as I expected. I managed to get the correct answers mostly by guessing and going by common fiction tropes. You can judge whether the strategy was right or wrong.
Have you completed the quizzes? How did you do? Have you seen or read Cursed Child before?

I'm not too surprised with these results considering my experience with Cursed Child. I read the screenplay back when it came out in 2016. Like Maxim, I didn't really enjoy it and found the reading experience difficult to make it all the way through. I then proceeded to ignore its existence as long as I could and I believe I donated my copy of the screenplay as well. Then I got into the Potterless podcast in late 2019 and listened to all of the episodes, which included brief coverage of Cursed Child. Since my memories of the plot had returned from that, I'm not surprised that I did decent on some of the quizzes but not on the quotes one. I've never been particularly gifted at remembering quotes from things, but especially not from things I didn't really enjoy.
I've never seen the stage play, and am frankly quite unlikely to, both due to the pandemic and the lack of any real desire to buy tickets. If I were to win tickets or receive them as a gift from someone who didn't realize my lack of interest in Cursed Child, I would go mainly for the theatrical experience and interesting stage effects (when safe to do so), but I do not plan to purchase tickets for myself.

So you definitely didn't get top marks, but you're definitely not bottom of the pile either. Perhaps a re-read of the Cursed Child screenplay will bump up your score!

You didn't do all that bad on this quiz, but we wonder if you got stage fright halfway through? Grab a snack at the foyer and try again.

You’d be showing off your Prefect’s badge in no time with results this good.
(already had one for five years and don't think I can get another one)

This quiz score isn't unforgivable - but you know you can do better!
Basically, the less the quizzes had to do with Cursed Child, the better I did! Not surprising, considering that I had a hard time getting through Cursed Child (the words "Slytherin Squib" still leave a bad taste in my mouth!)...

Re: Cursed Child Quizzes
I've read the screenplay, and kind of just consider it another fan fiction, each person choses what to believe in the story. Tough one ting I do not agree is Harry's job, he should be an Auror!
These are my results:
6/10 · Ponctuation de 60%
Result: Potter Pro
Clever you. You know Albus Potter just as well as you know Harry, making you quite the Potter Pro. But there is a bit. more studying you could do to get top marks.
9/10 · Ponctuation de 90%
Result: You're centre stage!
Bravo! You got top marks in this quiz and rightly so. Your Cursed Child knowledge is so sharp, you'd get a standing ovation.
7/10 · Ponctuation de 70%
Result: Wand-erful
You're a bright spark, keep working on your wandwork to reach another level-osa...
5/10 · Ponctuation de 50%
Result: Avada Ked-average
