Meanwhile, Albus is secretly listening to the conversation until he notices a girl who goes up to him. Harry refuses since saying he cannot meddle with time. Amos went round to the house from his care home when Harry kept rescheduling the meeting Amos kept arranging.
Scorpius tells him about the death of his mother that summer and asks him to attend the funeral, which Albus agrees to.Ī year later, Amos Diggory turns up at Harry's home and asks him to use the time-turner to go back in time and save Cedric Diggory.
When Albus finds Scorpius, it is evident that Scorpius did not have a good summer. Hermione and Harry agree the time-turner must be destroyed. Harry reminds her that he has lots of work he will get round to in his own time and that he did very recently find a dangerous new object. Hermione visits him as she is now Minister for Magic to ask Harry to complete the paperwork he is yet to do and to start work on the other tasks he was given. The next summer, Harry Potter retrieves a time-turner with the help of the Ministry of Magic created by Theodore Nott. Harry says he cannot do that and they part ways. After Albus leaves, Draco Malfoy goes up to Harry and asks him for his help in ending a rumour that he and Astoria couldn't conceive a child and used a time-turner to go back in time to conceive one with Voldemort instead. When Albus tells Harry he wants to be alone on the platform before he goes to school in his third year for that reason, Harry is hurt by this and thinks Scorpius is the reason why, requesting Albus to sever his friendship with him. Rose has a better time at Hogwarts, becoming very popular and a Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. The following three years of school are tough for Albus and he begins to feel like he has to isolate himself from his father since being a Potter is the reason why great things are being expected from him. He does not have a natural gift for magic and struggles at his first flying lesson, where the other children call him the "Slytherin Squib." Unfortunately, Albus is mocked by the other students for being a Potter in Slytherin as every Potter had been placed in Gryffindor. Albus sits next to Scorpius at their table. The Sorting Hat places Rose in Gryffindor, and both Scorpius and Albus in Slytherin. When the train reaches Hogwarts, the students attend the Sorting ceremony. Albus stays and the two become friends, sharing stories and sweets on the journey to Hogwarts. Albus and Scorpius get along very well, but Rose leaves to look for another compartment because she thinks that Scorpius is nothing but trouble.
They shyly introduce themselves and Scorpius makes a joke about their parents rivalry. They open the door to one compartment and find Scorpius Malfoy sitting there. Rose reminds Albus that their parents met on the train, so decides that finding the right compartment to sit in is very important as they too could meet their lifelong friends here. Ron remembers his time at Hogwarts.Īlbus and Rose wander around the train looking for a compartment to sit in. Harry Potter, Ginevra Weasley, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger wonder whether their children will be okay. Albus Potter and Rose Granger-Weasley say goodbye to their parents and board the train. The play begins on Platform 9 3/4 and picks up from where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left off, with a few modifications. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
