After all, if the world of Harry Potter inspires anything, it is acts of imagination.

Its very obvious from that epilogue that the character I was most interested in was Albus Severus Potter.

And you see Scorpius on that platform.

(Well get to that Scorpius comment in a second.)

WhenThe Cursed Childbegins, Scorpius will be one of the next generation ofHarry Pottercharacters starting at Hogwarts.

Like Albus and Scorpius, Rose is just starting Hogwarts.

Firstly, this picture is adorable.

Harry Potter

Lets face it: Harry Potter is more or less cursed.

Sure, he eventually defeated the Dark Lord, but it wasnt exactly a rosy upbringing.

Its thematically-rich, you have to admit.

Furthermore, the synopsis mention thatpast and present fuse ominously could certainly point towards some time travel shenanigans.

Weve seen time travel in the Harry Potter universe before.

Could someone be going after Harry by targeting a younger version of himself?

You might as well call the playHarry Potter and the Harry Potter.

Could he be the cursed child mentioned in the plays title?

(R.I.P., Remus and Tonks.)

Im guessing he feels pretty darn cursed about it.

Someone we havent met yet.

Could the cursed child be the most literal reference to ever be referenced?

Going by previous Harry Potter titles like the Half-Blood Prince, you bet.

We are all the cursed child.

Perhaps the cursed child in the title is not so much a specific character as a larger theme.

Perhaps the cursed child is all of us.
