Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Part one

Act one

Scene one

The station is jam-packed with people hurrying somewhere. Amidst all this fuss, two boys, James and Albus Potter, are pushing rattling carts with cages, their mother, Ginny, following behind. Next to him is a thirty-seven-year-old man, Harry, with his daughter Lily on his shoulders.

Albus: Dad. He continues to tease.

Harry: James, stop it.

James: I just said that he'll probably end up in Slytherin... (Under his father's boring gaze.) Okay.

Albus (Looking at his mother): You're going to write to me, aren't you?

Ginny: Every day, if you want.

Albus: No, don't. James said most people receive a letter from home once a month.

Harry: Last year we sent letters to your brother three times a week. Albus: What?! James?

Albus looks at James piercingly.

Ginny: Don't believe everything your brother says about Hogwarts.

James (With a dry smile): Shall we go already?

Albus glances at his father and mother.

Ginny: You just need to go through the wall between platforms 9 and 10.

Lily: I'm worried.

Harry: It's important that you don't stop and don't be afraid. If you are not sure, run away.

Albus: I'm ready.

Part one

Harry and Lily put their hands on Albus's cart, Ginny's on James' cart, and the whole family rushes through the barrier.

Scene two

Platform nine and three quarters She's filled light white

smoke coming out of the Hogwarts Express. It is just as crowded, but instead of people in business suits, there are wizards and sorcerers in robes, saying goodbye to their children.

Albus: It's her.

Lily: Wow.

Albus: Platform nine and three quarters.

Lily: Where are they, where? Maybe they didn't come? Harry notices Ron and Hermione with their daughter Rose. Lily runs towards them.

Uncle Ron! Uncle Ron!

Ron turns around and picks up Lily as soon as she's nearby.

Ron: Is this really my favorite Potter?

Lily: Will you show me a trick?

Ron: Are you afraid of Weasley's magical nose-stealing breath?

Rose: Mom! Dad again for his nonsense.

Hermione: You think it's nonsense, but he thinks it's great. In my opinion, neither one nor the other.

Ron: Wait, let me fiddle with this... air. Here, a little more... Sorry if it smells a little like garlic.

He breathes on Lily's face and she giggles.

Lily: You smell like porridge.

Ron: One, two, three. Miss, get ready to feel something.

Lily: Where's my nose?

Ron: Ta-daa.

His hand is empty. Complete nonsense, but everyone loves it.

Lily: You're funny.

Albus: Everyone's staring at us.

Ron: My experiments with noses have made me very popular. Hermione: They are truly legendary.

Harry: Was the parking okay?

Ron: Yes, Hermione didn't believe that I would pass the Muggle driving test. I thought I would use Confundus on the examiner.

Hermione: No, I was confident in you.

Rose: I'm sure he used Confundus.

Albus: Dad...

Albus touched his father's robe, Harry looks at him.

What if... Well, if I... I end up in Slytherin?

Harry: So what?

Albus: Slytherin is the house of treachery, black magic, not courage.

Harry: Albus Severus, you are named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was in Slytherin and he is probably the bravest man I have ever known.

Albus: But still.

Harry: If it's so important to you, then the Sorting Hat will honor your wishes.

Albus: Really?

Harry: That's what happened to me.

He had never said this before; he was overcome with thoughts.

Hogwarts will teach you a lot. I promise there's nothing to be afraid of.

James: Except the Thestrals, watch out for them.

Albus: I thought they were invisible!

Harry: Listen to your professors, not James, and be yourself. And now, if you don’t want the train to leave without you, then it’s time to climb on it.

Lily: I'll catch up with the train.

Ginny: Lily, come back.

Hermione: Rose, don't forget to say hi to Neville.

Rose: Mom, I can't say hi to the professor.

Rose gets on the train. Albus turns around last time hugs Ginny and Harry.

Albus: Okay. Bye.

He gets on the train. Hermione, Ron and Harry look at the train, the whistle blows every now and then on the platform.

Ginny: They'll be fine, won't they?

Hermione: Hogwarts is a big place.

Ron: Big. Wonderful. With the sea tasty food. I would give anything to come back.

Harry: It's strange, Albus is afraid that he will end up in Slytherin.

Hermione: Rose is worried that she won't break the Quidditch records. And when will she be able to take the S.O.W.

Ron: Why does she have so much ambition?

Ginny: Harry, what if Albus really ends up in Slytherin?

Ron: You know, Ginny, we always thought you might have been sorted into Slytherin. Ginny: What?

Ron: Well, actually, Fred and George were betting.

Hermione: Shall we go? People are watching.

Ginny: People are always watching. It doesn't matter if there are three of you standing or alone. The four go to the exit.

Harry, everything will be fine with him?

Harry: Of course.

Part one

Scene three

Hogwarts Express

Albus and Rose walk around the carriage.

The witch selling sweets approaches with her cart.

Witch: Anything tasty? Pumpkin pie? Chocolate frog? Butter pot?

Rose (noticing Albus's heated glance at the chocolate frogs): Albus, we need to focus.

Albus: Focus on what?

Rose: On those with whom we should be friends. Our parents met each other for the first time on the Hogwarts Express.

Albus: So we need to choose those with whom we will be friends for life? It scares.

Rose: On the other hand, it's cool. I am Granger Weasley, you are Potter. Everyone will want to be friends with us, we just have to choose.

Albus: So how do we choose which compartment to go in?..

Rose: Let's go through each one and make a decision later.

Albus opens the door and looks at the blonde boy Scorpius. The compartment is empty, the boy sits alone. Albus smiles and Scorpius smiles back.

Albus: Hello, this is a coupe...

Scorpius: It's free here, just me.

Albus: Great, can we come in for a minute then?

Scorpius: Yes, of course. Hello.

Albus: Albus. Well, my name is Albus.

Scorpius: Hello, Scorpius. My name is Scorpius. You are Albus, I am Scorpius, and this must be.

Rose's face turns white every second.

Rose: Rose.

Scorpius: Hello, Rose. Do you want a sugar whistle?

Rose: Just had breakfast, thanks.

Scorpius: I've got shock-o-ladies, pepper devils, and gummy slugs here. This is my mother’s idea, she says (sings): “Candy always helps you make friends” (realizes that the song was a mistake). Probably a stupid idea.

Albus: I'd try... Mom doesn't let me eat sweets. What would you recommend?

Rose pushes Albus to get his attention.

Scorpius: Pepper devils, I think. The best candy I've ever eaten. They are so minty that smoke comes out of your ears.

Albus: Cool, I'd like that. (Rose pushes him again) Rose, can you stop hitting me?

Rose: I'm not hitting you.

Albus: You hit me, I feel it.

Scorpius's face changes.

Scorpius: She's pushing you because of me.

Albus: What?

Scorpius: Well, I know who you are, and you probably know who I am.

Albus: What do you mean?

Scorpius: You are Albus Potter. She is Rose Granger - Weasley. Well, I'm Scorpius Malfoy, son of Astoria and Draco Malfoy. Our ancestors didn't get along. Rose: That's putting it mildly. Your parents are death eaters!

Scorpius (offended): Dad was there, but not Mom.

Rose looks away, Scorpius understands why.

I understand, but this rumor is just fiction.

Albus looks from the angry Rose to the desperate Scorpius.

Albus: What rumor?

Scorpius: It's like my parents couldn't have children. My father and grandfather wanted to have a powerful heir so much that... they used a time turner and sent my mother...

Albus: Sent to where?

Rose: Albus, people think he's Voldemort's son.

Long, painful silence.

This is probably a lie. You do have a nose.

The tension is gone and Scorpius laughs heartily.

Scorpius: And he's just like his father! I have his nose, hair and name. Not to say that we are alike in everything and always get along, but it is better to be a Malfoy than the son of the Dark Lord.

Scorpius and Albus look at each other, something happened between them.

Rose: Yes, but we should still sit somewhere else.

SCENE ONE

KING'S CROSS

A noisy train station full of rushing people. In the bustle of the station we see two large cages, which are placed on two trolleys filled with luggage. The carts are pushed forward by two boys, JAMES POTTER and ALBUS POTTER. Their mother, GINNY, follows them. There is also a thirty-seven-year-old man, HARRY, who carries his daughter LILLY on his shoulders.

ALBUS

Dad, he keeps saying it.

HARRY

James, stop it.

JAMES

I just said that he might end up in Slytherin. It's true, so... ( his father's stern look stops him) Fine, fine.

ALBUS (looks at mother)

You will write to me, won't you?

GINNY

At least every day, if you want.

ALBUS

No. Not every day. James says most receive letters from home about once a month. I don't want…

HARRY

Last year we wrote to your brother three times a week.

ALBUS

What? James!

ALBUS looks at JAMES reproachfully.

GINNY

Yes. You better not believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts. Your brother is a joker.

JAMES (with a grin)

Maybe we can finally go, huh?

ALBUS looks at his father, then at his mother.

GINNY

You need to go straight through the wall between platforms nine and ten.

LILLY

I am so excited!

HARRY

Don't stop and don't worry about crashing into it, this is very important. It's better to do this on the run if you're nervous.

ALBUS

HARRY and LILLY place their hands on ALBUS' cart; GINNY pushes JAMES' cart and they all run straight through the barrier.

ACT ONE

SCENE ONE

KING'S CROSS

A busy, crowded train station. Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere. Among the noise and

bustle, the rumble of two huge cages on top of loaded

carts. They are pushed by two boys, James and Albus Potters. Their mother

Jinni follows. A thirty-seven-year-old man, Garry, holds his

daughter, L and l, on his shoulders.

A l b u s. Dad. He keeps saying it.

G a r i. James, stop it.

JAMES. I just said he might end up in Slytherin. AND

he can… (Under with a gaze father.) OK.

A l b u s (looks at mother). You will write to me, won't you?

JINNI. Every day if you want.

A l b u s. No. Not every day. James says most

guys receives letters from home about once a month. I don't want...

G a r i. Last year we wrote to your brother three times a week.

A l b u s. What? James!

Albus looks at James accusingly.

JINNI. Yes. Don't believe everything he tells you

about Hogwarts. Your brother really likes to joke.

JAMES (with a grin). Please, can we go now?

Albus looks at his father, then at his mother.

JINNI. All you have to do is walk right through

barrier between the ninth and tenth platforms.

L i l i. Can not wait!

G a r i. Don't stop and don't be afraid that you'll crash, it's very

important. It's better to run away if you're nervous.

A l b u s. I'm ready.

Harry and Lily put their hands on Albus's cart... Ginny takes James' cart, and

the whole family rushes to the barrier.

SCENE TWO

PLATFORM NINE AND THREE-QUARTERS

The platform is covered in thick white steam released by the Hogwarts Express.

It's also very crowded here... But instead of people in well-tailored suits walking along

to their own affairs, now wizards and witches in robes. Most of them are occupied

by saying goodbye to his beloved offspring.

A l b u s. Here she is.

L i l i. Wow!

A l b u s. Platform nine and three quarters.

L i l i. Where are they? They are here? Maybe they didn't arrive?

Harry points to Ron, Hermione and their daughter Rose. Lily rushes towards them.

Uncle Ron. Uncle Ron!!!

Lily runs and Ron turns to her. He grabs her in his arms.

R o n. Is this my beloved Potter?

L i l i. Can you show me a trick?

Act one

The station is full of people; Everyone is busy, in a hurry to get somewhere. Among the chaos are two loaded carts, each with a large birdcage rattling on top. The carts are being pulled by two boys, one by JAMES POTTER, the other by ALBUS POTTER. Following them is their mother GINNY. HARRY, a thirty-seven-year-old man, carries his daughter LILY on his shoulder.

Dad. Him again.

James, calm down already.

I just said that he can get into Slytherin... but how can he... (fading under his father’s angry gaze) ... that’s it, I’m silent.

ALBUS (mother)

Will you write to me? Will you?

Every day, if you want.

No. No. Not every day. James says most people receive letters from home once a month. I don't want...

Last year we wrote to your brother three times a week.

What? James!

Yes. Don't believe everything he says about Hogwarts. He's a big joker, your brother.

JAMES (smirking)

Can we please go now?

You just need to go straight into the wall between platforms nine and ten.

I just said that he could get into Slytherin... but he still can... ( withering under his father's angry gaze) … ok, I'm quiet.

ALBUS (mother)

Will you write to me? Will you?

Every day, if you want.

No. No. Not every day. James says most people receive letters from home once a month. I don't want...

Last year we wrote to your brother three times a week.

ALBUS looks at JAMES indignantly.

Yes. Don't believe everything he says about Hogwarts. He's a big joker, your brother.

JAMES (with a grin)

Can we please go now?

Albus looks at his father, then at his mother.

You just need to go straight into the wall between platforms nine and ten.

Everything is so great here!

The main thing is don’t stop and don’t be afraid to crash, that’s the most important thing. It's best to take a running start if you're nervous.

HARRY and LILY take ALBUS' cart, GINNY takes JAMES' cart, and together they all run headlong towards the barrier.

Harry and Lily put their hands on Albus's cart, Ginny's on James' cart, and the whole family rushes through the barrier.

PLATFORM 9¾

She is completely enveloped in the thick white steam of the Hogwarts Express.

And there are a lot of people here too - just not business people in formal suits, and sorcerers and witches in robes. Everyone is trying to get through to their adored offspring and say goodbye.

Platform 9¾.

Where is everyone? They are here? What if they didn't come?

HARRY points to RON, HERMIONE and their daughter ROSE. LILY rushes towards them as fast as she can.

Uncle Ron. Uncle Ron!!!

RON turns around and, as LILY runs up, scoops her up into his arms.

Of all the Potters, this is my favorite.

Have you prepared a trick for me?

Have you heard about the spirit-nose-out? There's one in Weasley's Amazing Ultra Tricks. Patented item.

Mom! Dad is back with his stupid tricks.

HERMIONE

In your opinion, they’re stupid, but he thinks it’s super deluxe, and I… that it’s half the middle.

Okay, just a minute. Let me chew... air. And now I... forgive me if I smell like garlic...

He breathes in Lily's face. She giggles.

You smell like oatmeal.

Boom. Bam. Bams. Young lady, get ready: you won't be able to smell anymore...

RON pulls his nose away from her face.

Where's my nose?

He opens his palm: it’s empty. It was a stupid trick. Everyone is in awe of how stupid he is.

You are stupid.

Everyone stared at us again.

It's because of me! I'm terribly famous. My experiments with noses are legendary!

HERMIONE

That's for sure.

Did you park properly?

Fine. Hermione thought I wouldn't pass the Muggle driving test, can you imagine? She thought I would have to confuse the examiner.
