Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later. Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in Londons West End on July 30, 2016. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isnt much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. 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. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

KINGS CROSS

A busy and crowded station. Full of people trying to go somewhere. Amongst the hustle and bustle, two large cages rattle on top of two laden trolleys. Theyre being pushed by two boys, JAMES POTTER and ALBUS POTTER, their mother, GINNY, follows after. A thirty-seven-year-old man, HARRY, has his daughter, LILY, on his shoulders.

ALBUS: Dad. He keeps saying it.

HARRY: James, give it a rest.

JAMES: I only said he might be in Slytherin. And he might so . . . (Off his dads glare.) Fine.

ALBUS (looking up at his mum): Youll write to me, wont you?

GINNY: Every day if you want us to.

ALBUS: No. Not every day. James says most people only get letters from home about once a month. I dont want to . . .

HARRY: We wrote to your brother three times a week last year.

ALBUS: What? James!

ALBUS looks accusingly at JAMES.

GINNY: Yes. You may not want to believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts. He likes a laugh, your brother.

JAMES (with a grin): Can we go now, please?

ALBUS looks at his dad, and then his mum.

GINNY: All you have to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms nine and ten.

LILY: Im so excited.

HARRY: Dont stop and dont be scared youll crash into it, thats very important. Best to do it at a run if youre nervous.

ALBUS: Im ready.

HARRY and LILY put their hands on ALBUSs trolley GINNY joins JAMESs trolley together, the family run hard into the barrier.

PLATFORM NINE AND THREE-QUARTERS

Which is covered in thick white steam pouring from the HOGWARTS EXPRESS.

And which is also busy but instead of people in sharp suits going about their day its now wizards and witches in robes mostly trying to work out how to say good-bye to their beloved progeny.

ALBUS: This is it.

LILY: Wow!

ALBUS: Platform nine and three-quarters.

LILY: Where are they? Are they here? Maybe they didnt come?

HARRY points out RON, HERMIONE, and their daughter, ROSE. LILY runs hard up to them.

Uncle Ron. Uncle Ron!!!

RON turns towards them as LILY goes barreling up to him. He picks her up into his arms.

RON: If it isnt my favorite Potter.

LILY: Have you got my trick?

RON: Are you aware of the Weasleys Wizard Wheezescertified nose-stealing breath?

ROSE: Mum! Dads doing that lame thing again.

HERMIONE: You say lame, he says glorious, I say somewhere in between.

RON: Hang on. Let me just munch this . . . air. And now its just a simple matter of . . . Excuse me if I smell slightly of garlic . . .

He breathes on her face. LILY giggles.

LILY: You smell of porridge.

RON: Bing. Bang. Boing. Young lady, get ready to not being able to smell at all . . .

He lifts her nose off.

LILY: Wheres my nose?

RON: Ta-da!

His hand is empty. Its a lame trick. Everyone enjoys its lameness.

LILY: You are silly.

ALBUS: Everyones staring at us again.

RON: Because of me! Im extremely famous. My nose experiments are legendary!

HERMIONE: Theyre certainly something.

HARRY: Parked all right, then?

RON: I did. Hermione didnt believe I could pass a Muggle driving test, did you? She thought Id have to Confund the examiner.

HERMIONE: I thought nothing of the kind, I have complete faith in you.

ROSE: And I have complete faith he did Confund the examiner.

RON: Oi!

ALBUS: Dad . . .

ALBUS pulls on HARRYs robes. HARRY looks down.

Do you think what if I am what if Im put in Slytherin . . .

HARRY: And what would be wrong with that?

ALBUS: Slytherin is the House of the snake, of Dark Magic . . . Its not a House of brave wizards.

HARRY: Albus Severus, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.

ALBUS: But just say . . .

HARRY: If it matters to you, you, the Sorting Hat will take your feelings into account.

ALBUS: Really?

HARRY: It did for me.

This is something hes never said before, it resonates around his head a moment.

Hogwarts will be the making of you, Albus. I promise you, there is nothing to be frightened of there.

JAMES: Apart from the Thestrals. Watch out for the Thestrals.

ALBUS: I thought they were invisible!

HARRY: Listen to your professors, dont listen to James, and remember to enjoy yourself. Now, if you dont want this train to leave without you, you should leap on . . .

LILY: Im going to chase the train out.

GINNY: Lily, come straight back.

HERMIONE: Rose. Remember to send Neville our love.

ROSE: Mum, I cant give a professor love!

ROSE exits for the train. And then ALBUS turns and hugs GINNY and HARRY one last time before following after her.

ALBUS: Okay, then. Bye.

He climbs on board. HERMIONE, GINNY, RON, and HARRY stand watching the train as whistles blow up and down the platform.

GINNY: Theyre going to be okay, right?

HERMIONE: Hogwarts is a big place.

RON: Big. Wonderful. Full of food. Id give anything to be going back.

HARRY: Strange, Al being worried hell be sorted into Slytherin.

HERMIONE: Thats nothing, Rose is worried whether shell break the Quidditch scoring record in her first or second year. And how early she can take her O.W.L.s.
