Story
We find that Harry is grappling with the pressures of being a respected wizard in the Ministry amid the lingering effects of the scars left by Voldemort. Under that tension, his relationship with his middle child, Albus Severus Potter, becomes the early focal point of this latest episode.
Albus has difficulty developing his own identity as he feels overshadowed by the family legacy and the overwhelming expectations behind the Potter name. His quest for self-discovery establishes the backdrop for a meaningful exploration of tough relationships within families and the understanding that’s still possible.
Harry Potter and The Cursed Child also develops a new perspective on Draco Malfoy, as his son, Scorpius, makes friends with Albus. Together, the two navigate the weight of their family histories - especially interesting against their parents long-time rivalry.
In this charming Harry Potter play, audiences will also experience the evolution of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in this continuation of their story.
