"HOW DARE YOU POTTER?!" is a perfect summary of my feelings throughout reading the Cursed Child.
The title is the sumary of My feelings
SAME
@Ceri Sealey-hillman reread the actually canon books and see how against canon it goes
@Ceri Sealey-hillman the biggest thing being that bellatrix was heavily pregnant at one point according to the books
I think Harry telling Albus that he wished he wasn't his son is honestly so out of character.
I thought it was a flaw in parenting but nonetheless one that does get made. Harry is jealous of albus because Albus gets to live a safer life and doesn't have to worry about being "the boy who lived" or being the boy being set up to die just to destroy Voldemort. Albus is feeling insecure and is feeling resentment because he knows he will never be as great as his father but even if he knew that he has the burden of being the son of the famous Harry Potter so Albus has unseen expectations on him whether he wants them or not. Albus just wants to have normal parents and live a normal life but he can't. Another thing Albus doesn't understand that Harry never wanted to live the famous life. So there's this huge friction of not understanding each other and that's what caused the argument. Not to mention Harry is fairly new at parenting and never had a problem child and Harry has never dealt with that before along with now he's still carrying around the burden of everything that happened in the past.
Its almost 20 years later. We dont really know his character.
Jenna Campbell he said it was not on purpose so maybe it’s like when he shouts at dumbledore
MsRavenousWolf you forgot the line look most people had a dad to base them self on so work with me here or something like that
ikr
So the name of the book is
Harry Potter and Harry Potter
Makes total sense
Robozxd Clever!
Tank u
Robozxd YAS
Or new name of book: Harry Potter the Cursed Child
SuperAmanda150 harry potter and his cursed self
Hugo is the cursed child because he is hardly ever mentioned.
U need more likes and replys
@@CGethins Yeah
I feel like Hugo needed more page time. Like, even 1 conversation would suffice. And why the name Hugo???? Is it a Weasly tradition to name your kids oddly?
@@nothingtoseeherefolks6911 tbf Hugo is quite a popular name
he's like the peggy of the cursed child
I'm fairly certain the black cloud around Albus wasn't about Harry or Delphi or anyone but himself. Draco mentioned that it might just be Albus's own loneliness, pain and hatred.
You're probably right, but Harry was making it worse without knowing what he was doing or meaning to do it at all. Albus Potter felt lonely because he didn't think he could live up to his father's legacy, and Harry wrongly suspected the ridicule his son faced to be from the person who would never do that.
So, I think Harry was the cause of it but not the cloud itself. The cloud itself was almost certainly fear, stress/anxiety/depression, and loneliness. Albus Dumbledore said this in the CoG: "I know this: An Obscurus grows in the absence of love as a dark twin, an only friend," so Albus Potter may have nearly become an Obscurial if that statement holds true (and perhaps would've, had it not been for Scorpius's love/friendship). Maybe the black cloud was an Obscurus in the making?
@@juliecraze9310
And that is exactly why I hate this play. My biggest problem was HARRY POTTER.
Harry was so great because he never wanted the fame and wanted to be normal but here he is so strange.
And the most hurting thing is that he says to Mcgonagall that he would bring the school down with ministry power. The school he called his HOME.
And I don't think anything, ANYTHING COULD HAVE CHANGED HARRY'S LOVE FOR HOGWARTS
Midnight Makings true I forgot about that
I see people defending Harry's character. If so then explain this one thing to me.
Harry says to Mcgonagall that if she wouldn't do what he says then he would have to use ministry's power to bring down the school.
Nothing (NOTHING) can change Harry's love for Hogwarts and here he says that he would bring down the school he called HOME!
IKR!! That’s so not Harry
CUUUUURSED
Besides, why defend him? He was kind of an aweful human being until the curse was lifted. You guys should feel sorry for him instead.... lol..
Sarthak Raghav
This line was said by HARRY POTTER when Albus and Scorpius changed the time and interrupted in the 1st task already by disarming CEDRIC DIGGORY and thus the whole world was changed.
In the interruption of the 2nd task Harry wasn't even alive .
So when the 1st task was changed Harry's Behavior also got changed .
That's why he said this to Mcgonagall.
This means you are not a true Harry Potter Fan Or a Potterhead .
You can only take out mistakes but you should read the book with the heart
He used the cruciatus curse for her!!!!!! He would never disrespect Mcgonaggal >:0 ..He only used “crucio” once ..on Bellatrix..BECAUSE SHE CAUSED THE DEATH OF SIRIUS...THAT’S HOW MUCH HE RESPECTS HER
@@NeverFoldNeverBackDownSMW exactly, well said!
Scorpius is everything Super adorable Malfoy...Never thought a Malfoy would be so lovable lol
So true
You clearly haven't seen A Very Potter Musical
For me Scorpius is just- a cringey child
*”my geekiness is quivering”*
Just my opinion lol
Draco was rather lovable since he married a Hufflepuff
@@locallance1529 lol someone need to make a book about Draco going to pigfarts
After seeing the play the biggest issue I had was just that Scorpius should have been a Hufflepuff. He's far more loyal than he is cunning especially when in the "original" timeline.
He is a Slytherin just so he and Albus can be friends. The play sucks
Major Mystique No... he is a slytherin because he is pure blood and because of his family name. That’s the entire thing. Albus and Scorpius have family names they don’t like and don’t want to live up too.
espee1511 I feel like he could also be a Ravenclaw if he wasn’t a Slytherin
@@chlo6734 Yes but that's not how it works. We see for example Sirius being in Gryffindor even though he comes from the black family. We see Tonks who (is a half blood okay, but her mother is a black) and still she is in Hufflepuff.
So it goes for Albus who is a comfirmed Slytherin even if both his parents are Gryffindors.
So Scorpius could be in Hufflepuff. The only reason he is in Slytherin is because Albus is there too.
Like the "Hogwarts Mystery" game where you can choose your house and Rowan your bff goes with you no matter what.
Scorpius actually is very cunning, not just intelligent, but the key difference is in how he uses that trait -- for the good of others, not just his own personal gain. He is also very ambitious, seen for example in his (adorably awkward) pursuit of Rose, his capabilities at school, and his desire to rise to his father's expectations in spite of their complicated relationship. These actions of course also reflect the traits of intelligence (Ravenclaw), courage (Gryffindor) and especially loyalty (Hufflepuff), but there is also the most important factor to consider: personal choice. Scorpius is an incredibly balanced character, and I imagine that while being Sorted, he might have had the option to choose from at least two, if not all, of the Houses. It's even possible that the Sorting Hat advised him toward a different House than the one he chose, as it did with Harry (and probably Neville too). All in all I think that Scorpius was a true Slytherin simply because he chose to be (even without knowing yet that Albus would be in the same House), and I think that Scorpius being in Slyhterin is pretty critical to the Potter universe as a whole, because his overwhelmingly good personality traits serve to reshape perceptions of Slytherin as the bad/evil House. This could very well have played another part in his choosing Slytherin, out of desire (read: ambition) to redeem the Malfoy name and legacy.
Maybe the beauty of the title is that it refers to all of them. Scorpious for being considered the son of Voldemort, Albus for his struggle with his father, Delphi for being Voldemort's daughter and Harry for fighting the ghosts of his past.
I concur with you
Els Verwilgen l
My question is where is Teddy Tonks supposed to be in all of this?
H Lin YES!😭
H Lin Teddy Tonks is obviously the real Cursed Child. Or Panju. One of the two. XD
Realistically, they couldn't cast as many roles for the play as one would want; if you read the last couple of pages of the book, you'll find that loads of people play 2-3 roles.
You know what I meant ;)
its been 19 years... hes been and gone from hogwarts
I was JUST about to comment to them about that...
Scorpius is the Hermione of the Cursed Child he is the reason why Albus is alive at the end just like Hermione was the reason why Ron and Harry are alive 😂
Xd lol, I just realised that. 😂
Same
Exactly! He has potential to grow up into a very great wizard like Harry and Hermione did, and he's just a great, hard-not-to-love character in general. Perhaps a good topic for a sequel once they finish Fantastic Beasts?
And that is why I hate the cursed child. The characters and the story isn't original. It is basically a well written copy with new set of characters in old themes.
There is Albus who is so like Harry's character (I mean ready to help and a bit too emotional), then there is Scorpius who is basically Hermione (bullied and friendless except for Albus and so very smart)
@@KUN-zx6vs how did you just realize this run literally compares the two
I honestly think Scourpius is a super cool mixture of Ron and Hermionie, he is not exactly a ‘Book Worm’ but manages to save Albus quite a few times...and he is also a EXTREMELY loyal friend. Most of all, just like the both of them they can go any extend to save his loved ones!
I think it would be all three, the wings represent Delphi because of the tattoo on her neck, the nest represents Scorpius as he provides his friendship as a "shelter", and the person in the middle represents Albus as he isolates himself.
Ocelot Gaming🐯 . . .
Ocelot Gaming🐯 wow that took a lot of thinking
Ocelot Gaming🐯 I agree!!
Oh yeah I just noticed but I used to think the whole whole thing was a golden snitch!
Ocelot Gaming🐯 you seem to be right but then I have a better explanation of Delphi (I think) in the logo.....Delphi actually gave wings to albus and Scorpius' plans...don't you think that is more convincing
So, according to this, it is Harry Potter and Harry Potter?
Whenever J said, " There is a child who is cursed in this book", I thought 'Ah yes, Craig Bowker Jr!'
Clever! I totally forgot about that. And Scorpius too if the Cruciatus Curse also counts (which it should, as it's arguably even more sinister than the Imperius and Killing curses combined).
The Child Thats cursed is obviously the kid who grew up with Harry Potter and thought they would lOvE tHiS pLaY
@@juliecraze9310 For me it depends on what the imperius curse is used for....
Lol tho he died at october 30 2020 and I have no idea why do i know that
Me Too
I kind of thought it was purposeful for the cursed child to be ambiguous and I thought it was meant to be both Delphi and Albus. Also I love my boy Scorpius.
Uh, Scorpius is my favorite character, duh. But I also really loved Draco in this. When he said that he envied Harry, Ron, and Hermione because they liked each other and had fun, that hit me kinda hard. And how he explained how having Scorpius was the best day of his life and how much it hurt him that his wife had died... even in the alternate reality, he seemed really touched that Astoria had said that he was a good man.
I also liked Snape more in this than in the original seven. I've never liked Snape and never liked how everyone thinks he's some great hero at the end, because he was an ass anyway. But that he had stuck with Dumbledore's Army after all those years and "Tell Albus Severus that I'm proud he carries my name" redeemed him to me far more than a few memories about how he loved Lily ever did.
The author's treatment of Ron bothered me. He was relegated to comic relief
Yeah same, Ron was completely screwed over in the play. Like he can be thick at times, but Ron was never stupid.
I totally agree with you.
Same.
yeah that was annoying. Ron just works in the joke shop, I thought he was going to be an Arour (sorry I know I spelled that wrong) like Harry
I know right?
Don't forget my fav Scorpius line!
YoU sMeLl LiKe BrEaD
Lol that is also my fav Scorpius
But the weird thing is draco was my least fav character and Scorpius is my fav
Oh my god, Draco compares him to Tom Riddle
Does anybody else agree that J.K. Rowling should re-write The Cursed Child into an actual novel? For me, it felt like a bad, fantasy version of Back to the Future.
I feel the same, but I doubt she'll do it.
Thanks
Midnight Score Productions
Midnight Score Productions I loved the book
pfft!
2:06 «His crush doesn't like him»
WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT ALBUS BECAUSE THE ONLY SHIP I CAN SEE IN THAT BOOK IS #SCORBUS
he refers to Rose
Cough #scorose cough
I think he was referring to Rose, but SCORBUS IS A GOOD AND WHOLESOME SHIP
No he was talking about Rose
#ROSIUS U MEAN
Favourite was definitely Scorpius, he absolutely rocked it ! And I thought Delphi was the Cursed Child 😝
Scorpious for the win. I WANTED TO HUG HIM.
As for who the Cursed Child is, I think Harry being it makes sense.
Scorpious is the B-E-E-E-E-E-E-S-T.
(*whispers*) Slytherin for the win.
Anyone wish there was a Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw book?
With Huffle and Raven main characters?
YES!!!!!!! :-)
Man that would be the best thing
YES!!!! #hufflepuffpride
I agree I have had either hufflepuff or ravenclaw on tests but they never get in the spotlight
My fanfic before this came out is that the'd all be sorted into Ravenclaw. However, I'm glad that Slytherin is having a chance to show that people sorted into it are all bad. In the first 7 books (and more so in the movies) anyone who was classified as Slytherin was basically being told "You're evil." Now Albus and Scorpius have a chance to prove that wrong. YAY!
You should just make a video about the trolley lady because I'm honestly so confused about her.
okay same
+Why Isn't This Simple she turned into some sort of monster (maybe? I don't really know what she is) and tries to stop albus and Scorpius from escaping the school/ train to the school
yes
It's simple guys. She is literally part of the train. Either magically created or bound to the train as a way to keep students in line and on the train until they reached Hogwarts. Honestly it makes sense seeing as the only non-students seen on the train are Lupin, her, and i guess you could count the dementors. But the point is that she is a part of the train
A old witch who sells sweet treats on the Hogwarts Express who also happens to be a terrifying defender of the train. Yeah, me too.
Scorpius is obviously on Neville level (see what I did there) of a perfect soul for a character. I could never figure it out.
I belived the cursed child is
Delphi but your proof of Harry being proved me wrong
Also Scorpius is my favourite
The United Malfoy Delphi IS the cursed child she's cursed to never see her father
The United Malfoy same
Scorpios is also my favourite because there are many reasons behind it
#Scorpiusisbetterthanalbusandharryinthecursedchild
Delphi and Scorpius are my favorite characters, Scorpius is a cinnamon roll and Delphi is just so interesting I think the writers did her dirty and made her a cringe villain. I also agree that Delphi is the cursed child.
I thought it was Scorpius because of how he was treated due to his being thought of as Voldemorts son and being a Slytherin and everything else that gave him a bad reputation. Curses arent always magical, they can be simply things that happen to us that either effect us in a large way or effect us repeatedly, and Scorpius often experiences some bad situations such as being told he has to stay away from Albus, his best friend, because he is believed to be a danger to Albus for something that was just a rumor.
I also believe that it is possible for Scorpius, Delphi, Albus, and Harry to all be The Cursed Child. All of these characters are in one way or another cursed, and those seem to be some of the highlighted details in the play
i agree.
Dragonette Eye is your profile pic Neo from RWBY?
tiny nrp Yes it is
Dragonette Eye
Lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
My favorite character is Scorpius. Before I saw this video I thought the curse child was Delphi. My real question is what happened to Profeesor Lupin's son ?
Fidoe Kicker Oh! Teddy is dating Victoire, George Weasley and Angelina Johnson's daughter! They mentioned that at the end of Deathly Hallows (book) though I am still disappointed he didn't show up. I was even more disappointed when Luna didn't show up with her own kid(s). But I was DEVASTATED when neither George nor Fred showed up (Fred being in a flashback, of course, RIP)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rachel Nott Victorie is the eldest daughter of Bill and Fleur Weasley. She was named Victorie because she was born on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. Check the 19 years later part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But you are wise, because you know that George and Angelina are married--not actually a commonly known fact!
Shelly Gomez Sorry. It's been awhile and I got them confused. I knew that I was just not thinking.
Rowling said that if she ever made more books that Teddy Lupin would definitely be the main character because he's clearly the best character.
Words cannot express how disappointed I am at the lack of Teddy Lupin. :( :(
Fidoe Kicker Professor Lupin is already dead
It’s Albus, because he’s actually trapped in an augurey’s nest with wings. It shows how he was trapped in Delphi’s machinations throughout the play, and the wings show how they appear and disappear.
Ok You Got Me... Scorpius Is My Favorite!
Who was your favorite character in The Cursed Child?
Harry Potter Kappa
Scorpias I hated the book however
Ginny and Dumbledore (if he counts)
Scorpio Malfoy
+Mega Delphox98 Scorpious Oops
Favorite character: Scorpius Malfoy.... Though, I did enjoy the development given to his father, Draco.
Identity of the Cursed Child: Harry Potter.... Yes, I had this theory even before watching this video. Harry was also the "unseen child who murdered his father". Delphi viewed herself as Voldemort's heir, while she was really just his "spare". The prophecy was not about that hellish alternate reality, that Scorpius visited. It was to unsure that Harry would become the Chosen One/Cursed Child. Implying that his entire life was nothing more than a time paradox, created by himself.
Ensure * not unsure
chocolateyes613 albus was the unseen child
100% my fav character in cursed child is the cursed child. Wait who’s the cursed child again?
The children who read this because they liked the Irun Gina series
“The scar never bothered Harry again”
“When Harry wakes up from dreams with Albus in them his scar hurts.”
Ok, who’s lying?
i totally started to ship Albus and Scorpius!
So they're gay?
Alpius?
they should have been... i mean i honestly thought it was gonna be cannon when Delphi said 'you two - you belong together'
Scorpibus
SAME I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BE TOGETHER IN THE END
Who else thinks a very potter musical is more of a cannon then the cursed child
+Mind if I slytherin Hp Technically, it is. Nick and Matt came up with, essentially, The Cursed Child before JK Rowling did. It was their first draft of A Very Potter Sequel. They threw it out because it was, in Nick's words, "too fanficcy and sucked."
Mind if I slytherin Hp Harry not Very
ForeverDegenerate Harry not Very
DragonForce Gaming And More! Its very. Have you even watched A Very Potter Musical?
Who thinks Then and Than’s Differences be taught in the Internet
my fave character is SCORPIUS
If we’re looking at the front cover, Albus is the Cursed Child, the nest and Augurey wings represent Delphi, the “black cloud” around Albus
I think that J.K. Rowling only meant to use the term "cursed child" as a metaphor. She never points out who, specifically, the cursed child is. This puts it up for debate. Everyone will have their own opinions and evidence to support their theories, but does that make them right? Who's wrong in this scenario? I think that most of the characters viewed themselves as cursed. Despite age or generation, in the end, they were all children carrying their own burdens.
The child on the front cover of the book isn't distinctly any one character. He/She could represent almost any of them. The child is only symbolism, because that is how Harry, Albus, Draco, Scorpius, and even Delphi have felt multiple times in their individual lives. Like a child, they are vulnerable, but they also have much room to grow. And we definitely see all of their character arcs at some point in the story. This last point is supported by the augury wings on the front cover. The augury is a bird that is supposed to herald death, but in reality only cries for rain, a common symbol used to represent life. Much like how these characters feel cursed, but grow substantially by the end of the play. The nest represents each characters' isolation in the story, but overall the entire picture does depict a snitch. An object unpredictable and hard to catch, but overall meant to be held in one's hand at the end of a game of quidditch. The characters in this story all take turns catching each other in the bonds they form through friendship. Not many of the details in Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" are so literal, but once you recognize the story's use of symbolism and metaphors, they seem a little hard not to notice.
This is so eloquently expressed! I agree that the title isn't referring to a literal curse and that it can easily represent several characters at the same time, especially because the cover is so ambiguous.
Jackie Johnson
I'm not too sure. Based on Rowli g's method of creating titles, it has to be literal. All the previous titles have always referenced something or somone in particular. Usually the discovery of the importance of the reference is near the end. The first book, Harry gets the actual stone at the end of the book. He finds the chamber near the end of the book. The true nature of the prisoner is revealed to Harry at the book's end. The tampering of the goblet once again is discovered near the end. The order's important scene where they make an actual apperance as the fighting force against voldy, thus finally fulfilling the group's purpose, happens near the end. The discovery of the true nature of the prince , again at the end. The culminating use of all three of the hallows occurs at the end. It would make sense, based on her previous methods of title creation, that whatever important witnessed scene or discovery at the end of the story would be the title. Harry sees the moment in which his life is changed/ cursed. He witnesses the actual cursing of a child, admittedly himself, but a cursed child nonetheless. Just based on Rowling's record, the title would be literal.
Christina Lane J.K. Didn't write the script though that's why the books is bad! She didn't write it, she didn't get to come up with anything!
I can never look at the trolley lady ever the same again
same....
It's the only thing that every single person who read the book agrees with
Yeah, that was dumb.
same
+Comicbook Boar she would've tried to stop them even if she didn't see them shes a witch after all magic duh
I am stunned by this theory.
I thought that the cursed child was Delphi because, when we go back to the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort slayed a Unicorn and drank it's blood, so as the centaur says he is cursed all his life so maybe Delphi being his daughter might also be cursed.
Scorpious is my favorite Character in cursed child (he saved the Wizarding world and Albus Potter.......When they time travel)
J: #SlytherinFTW
Me: Young Draco ruins this
Let's be honest. No Slytherin in their right mind would like young Draco!
I LOVE DRACO !!!!!
Before the book even came out I assumed the title would refer to Albus, feeling "cursed" given his dads reputation. The blurb heavily alluded to this also
How I felt. I read loads of reviews and they all seemed to think it was referring to Al as well.
If u read the book, albus hates being called al
Madison - Harry calls him Al, so does James and I'm pretty sure Ginny does at one point... Yeah he probably doesn't like it but I'm going to continue calling it him because I can't be bothered typing in 'Albus' every time.
I found it funny that Albus was an emo kid.
Abi Griffin #Me
Abi Griffin I guess angst runs in the family
Kat the Cat "I just feel so angry! All the time!"
Scorpius was the best. I totally thought Albus was the Cursed Child
Why Harry Potter is not the CURSED CHILD. 1: Harry Potter is not a child anymore.
2: The title would be "Harry Potter and Harry Potter"?
from the future the guys make a video saying Harry Potter is also the philosopher's Stone so that kind of repeat this silly pattern its Harry Potter again are technically goes back from book 1 to book 8
Yes because when they go back in Time their are two Harrys and Harry watched Valdemort try to curse him AS A BABY A CHIlD
I like the idea of Cedric being the cursed child... So you know how in Harry's snitch is the stone of resurrection, but we all know it doesn't really work. I think the kid, Cedric, is an embodiment of the stone, like a "once you die you can't be brought back to life" kinda thing. The wings are a representation of Delphi and the glow that is kind of around the nest is Albus and Scorpius. The nest itself represents how to Cedric's father, he will always be his baby "bird" and will forever be trapped there. Cedric was cursed when he died and he will stay cursed as a child forever.
But also I still think it is just Albus.... That was just a thought cause you easily dismissed Cedric.
yass
That's brilliant!
Thanks! I thought it made more sense than Harry Potter and the Harry Potter....
whelp 4 more years of straight up crying
but but but.... the title says "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child"
if he is the cursed child would the title actually mean... "Harry Potter and Harry Potter"???
Well I think within the context of the title the name Harry Potter refers to the version of the character that this book follows, while the name The Cursed Child refers to the version of Harry Potter when he was first cursed by Voldemort. So yes, the title does refer to the same character twice, but its referring to two very different versions of the character at two different points in the characters life.
So agree with you
the book wouldn't be interesting if the title gave away who was cursed
exactly
i agree
plus they wanted to keep it the same title as the other harry potter books/movies
I just saw the play last night! It was amazing I loved how the dementors looked so real, and how they literally changed human beings on stage! I'm going to be to stop saying anything as to not spoil anything. Also it's pronounced Delfee not delfai ;)
I love how when I clicked on this video, an ad for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child starting playing.
My favorite character in the Cursed Child was Scorpius!! And I totally believe this theory!! Before I thought it was Albus.
My favorite character is, hands down, Scorpius. Who doesn't like Scorpius? He's awesome!
natalieayeayes Ikr
my favorite character is albus potter
natalieayeayes ikr
Ja
of course he is
J the cover represents Albus thinking Delphi is protecting him
When J says "How dare you, Potter??" he sounds like a Malfoy.
Scorpius was definitely my favourite, I mean come on. How could you not love him
I didn't really like albus at all, he acted like a complete jerk all throughout the book
+Stephanie Lemanski I appreciate you so much right now. I think Albus was just annoying. Scorpius was awesome and relatable!
+XXYuminMHXX I know right! Albus seemed like he didn't give a crap about anything but himself whereas Scopius was just trying to make people happy and he was all around adorable
Year I mean come on; he was just suuper adorable and hands down the best character ! And I loved his reaction when he was around Rose!! So cute 💕
My friend and I had one argument today and it was about who could be scorpius if we acted out the play. (I won)
I really liked cursed child. not a lot of people did, understandably. but I loved it
Rachel Lee I liked it until the last scene. That scene just pissed me off
Rachel Lee I love it
Rachel Lee, I loved it too
Same
Rachel Lee SAMEHEREEEEEEE
What I loved about the book the most was Snape's loyalty even when Voldemort ruled the alternate reality. It shows no matter what, Snape was ALWAYS, in love with Lily, no matter what time line. A true testament to one, if not the best character in all of literature. This is my opinion of course, I still love all the characters but Snape is my favourite.
Scorpius is my son. And yes my favorite.
Scorpius HAS to be my favourite!
now to wait until j.k. says this is wrong as well
honestly, this makes sense...I think it's right
+Em Berk yeah but it doesn't make sence ,it may aswell say Harry Potter and Harrypotter
Omg that made me laugh so much
Maybe it's a metaphor for 2 separate identities; Harry Potter as a person and Harry Potter with Voldemort issues, like children with a traumatic experience where they act like a different person to escape said trauma. And the book is him coming to reconciliation with his past.
Yep XD
MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER WAS SCORPIUS
AND I ALSO THOUGHT ALBUS WAS THE CURSED CHILD
Me too but delphi makes also sense but at the same time harry is also a good choice
P.s Scorpius is my favourite
I just watched the play yesterday on Broadway and I finally got back into the Harry Potter craze again! I forgot how much I loved the books and movies, and yes I have been asking this question to myself before, and I guessed Albus, but after watching the play I was pretty sure it's Delphi. ApparentLY it was Harry. Was not expecting THAT.
I think most of the characters are the cursed child in there own way. Albus, Delphi, Scorpius and Harry
I would indeed agree. If you think it's because "child" is singular that there is only one cursed child, I point you towards the philosophers STONE, singular. Harry managed to get the stone at the same time as Nicholas Flamel had it in order to make the elixir of life. Singular, but at least 2 stones.
? I thought the stone was from Nicolas Flamel and kept safe by Dumbledore. I think it says in a book in the book, that the only known stone is in the ownership of Nicolas Flamel.
^ That's true.
I think it could also be Draco because of the part when he's telling Harry about how he hated his childhood because he learned to hate his father, he envied Harry, Ron and Hermione and he was lonely for pretty much his entire childhood.
Yeah, regardless of the title I think they all are, including the adults as they all pretty much survived the worst enemy their world had.
I think it was Albus. I thought the whole point was that he was cursed by the overshadowing of his father. It's about him overcoming his "curse" of being the family curse/disappointment. But I like the theory that Harry is the cursed child like duhhhhhh
bitchwtf True. I agree with you.
bitchwtf No... He is a spoiled child
FraynthOfSpirits. did you read the book boi?
My favorite character was definitely Scorpius! He is such an interesting lovable character and it is so much better knowing he is the son of Draco! I definitely thought the cursed child was Albus or Delphi but your theory blew my mind!
Scorpious is my favorite *SCORPIOUS IS EVERYONE’S FAVORITE* slytherinftw
one problem with this theory : the title is HARRY POTTER and the cursed child so its really saying 'Harry Potter and Harry Potter' ????
Harry potter and the harry potter of Harry Potter
Agreed. Given that the formula for all the other book titles are "Harry Potter and [One of the Main Things the Book is About]," I'd say the Cursed Child is Albus. The villain is never in the title, so not Delphi. I don't buy that the "curse" has to be a magical one--I think it's just the common usage of the word.
Harry Potter is not the Cursed Child because then the book would be pretty much called Harry Potter and the Harry Potter.
garner montgomery Nice job re posting an earlier comment.
ShockwaveGaming I swear I've never seen another comment like this. It must be a common thought.
garner montgomery alright, My mistake then. I have seen comments like this, but if you had no clue, then it's not your fault.
i agree with that, oit says and so that means there was another person
garner montgomery I think it is Albus. This is because the book cover is a child (Albus) being tricked and watched over by Augury wings (Delphine) this means the child itself was Albus. And he is the main character
this actually makes sense, I have been pondering about this ever since it was published
This is an amazing theory! I love it! One thing I don't understand though, are the best and wings. The snitch seems like and obvious choice, however there's still the fact that it's a neat with black wings that seem to relate back to Delphini.
I have a question?!Does Voldemort's daughter have a nose?!
sethlemuel ph The only thing Voldy was missing
Yes she does as she didnt spilt her soul. Whatever though she shouldn't even exist
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know you are just being a troll but ol'moldy voldy did have a nose at one point but it almost seems through making horcruxes he lost physical parts of himself not just soul fragments possibly through the ritual to enchant the container
sethlemuel ph uhh duhhh
sooo the title is harry potter and the harry potter (since he is the cursed child)?
Yes, however I Believe it means "Harry potter(Adult) and the cursed child(harry from the past timeline, when he first got cursed as a child)."
Yeah, that shits sounds dumb. I didn't read this script because most of the reviews I saw were bad, but that theory sounds logical and maybe what the author was going for.
[κяανεптм] you wouldn't call it like that though like the half blood prince you wouldn't call it Harry Potter and Severous Snape
Yes - It's just beacause you shouldn't be able to know BEFORE you've read it.
it is Albus Severus.
Delphi is probably my favorite character (After ginny, luna, hermione, and scorpius of course)
bruh
My favorite character was Scorpious and I thought Albus was the cursed child
You know what would be a better story? Write about how Crookshanks is an Animagus (I really think the hunting for Wormtail all third year can't be excused for normal cat behaviour, and there's one time that Crookshanks literally hears Ron saying Scabbers was in his pocket the next moment he jumps straight to Ron's pocket) I think it would be a cool story. At least better than this.
Crookshanks is part Kneazel which means she can sniff out suspicious characters. I agree it would be cool but unfortunately not the answer.
+ElephantsEfficiencyEatingEels ooh I never knew thank you! Anyway it's still an idea for a fanfiction
Angi - Yeah definitely, it could be another of those 'Secret Marauder' ones.
I think it's because there's a theory crookshanks is Lily's old cat who was sold to hermione after she died and the cat thought she had to protect Harry from scabbers because her owner was lily idk
+Elle machin well that's creative
Harry Potter and the Cursed Children, title fix.
What?!?
So this is looking like your perfect theory has fallen apart off the title alone
Awesome video!
You know what, I really want to get myself caught up on all things Harry Potter because of your channel. Thank you! :D
Scorpius was my favorite character in this story. :)
I thought for a second you were going to say that the Cursed Child is that Craig Bowker character... but I like this idea that it's Harry himself. :)
I've always thought it was Harry. I was lucky enough to catch the play in London with the original cast, and Scorpius stole everyone's hearts.
I love the book "Harry Potter and Harry Potter"
scorpius is the best hands down
Eh, I think it's Snape. JUST SAYING!!
Snape always was my favourite charecter
I think it's albums because while reading it I always referred to Albus as the Cursed Child, like his classmates gave him the name due to his inability to preform the simplest of spells.
**ALBUS not albums
I loved, absolutely loved the script, although I was disturbed by Harry's behavior, it just doesn't seem like him
also, my favorite character was still snape
Yeah me too, even though it was a script,I still could imagine what everything was like. Snape was definitely the best, he was underrated in it though!
+Kira Quinnell Ikr, I was even able to imagine Snape strangling umbridge! 'Twas a good time
I definitely agree
Kind of same tbvh
My children become non-existent? You forgot about my sweet son? What has this world become?
Hermione Granger They didn't forgot him...one of those may be the cursed child and I don't think you want Hugo to be the cursed child.
Hermione Granger I have a question for you:I know we can't really decide who we like but still...Why the hell did you pick Ron when you could have gotten soo much better?!?!
P.S. sorry to any Ron lovers out there.
Hermione Granger
R u the real Emma
U have got some skillllssss. My favorite character is (of course) Scorpios but I like Cedric too :)
Everyone knows that the cursed child is Delphini AKA the Augurey. But I liked ur vid. And ur super funny at introducing scorpius. LOL
I consider the cursed child non-cannon.
it was honestly, quite shit.
Keep that comment to yourself rude much
Exactly
Carter ojer, it’s true
agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed its pure fan-fiction, JK Rowling was under the Imperius curse when she approved that shit.
I'm waiting for 'Harry Potter and the mildly infectious disease'.
'Harry Potter and the Not to Touch That in public.'
'Harry potter and the beginners guide to Krumping.'
My favourite: 'Harry Potter and the not Magic bean stew'.
So much to hope for.
wouldn't that make the title as harry potter and harry potter ?
Upol Alam no HARRY POTTER and the cursed Harry potter
Yes it does
Upol Alam you wouldn't call it like that though.. would you call the other one Harry Potter and Severous Snape?
could there be three cursed children ?
the snitch/nest could represent harry the wings Delphi and the child albus
My favorite charicter was Scorpius and I thing the cursed child is Albus Severus Potter because. Delphi's wings represent the tattoo an she watches and holds Albus and Scorpius so they cant escape so they cant mess with her plans with the prophacy. And when Harry complained that his cut was hurting, that was a hint that Albus and Scorpius were trapped on the day Voldemort tried to kill Harry.
You are a great UA-cam theorist. You use absolutely no ambient music and you still suck me in and blow my mind. Also your theories always make legit sense, you always back things up very well.
But I don't feel like it's Harry because then it would be called "Harry Potter and .....Harry Potter" then they should've just called it "The Cursed Child". I think there's more evidence that it's Albus but it could also be Delphi.
Yeah I was thinking that it was repetitive but maybe the book was titled that to match the other books?
as someone else pointed out, it may be because he's not a child anymore, so it's like, harry potter now, and harry potter then? maybe? idk that's what I understand by it
Barbara Kerschbaum ya and also harry potter is an old ugly man by then so... that leaves albus I guess
I think Delphi is not a child anymore
+Happy Cat so it won't be her
I want his chair. It looks so comfy
Scorpius for the win he was my favorite character plus when I finished reading the script/book I knew from the scene where voldemort killed his parents harry was the cursed child. Wohoo awesome video ❤
3:26 four years later and i'm still waiting...
I don't consider HPCC an official part of the universe.... But I do like it as like a play itself. It is kinda like how AVPM is... Not even close to 100% accurate but still such a great concept.
Same
Agreed. I can not sit here and say 'oh it's cannon'
When the Queen herself had little to nothing to do with it. It stands on its own.
AVPM is amazing and I can't read HP the same way ever again. Heck I rewatched AVPS TODAY
What? WHAT? If they make a movie it'll be canon for sure ILL SHOW YOU
+Electric/Forceking 16 They better not make it a movie, I like my vision of Delphi and I don't want an actress screwing it up, even if it is JLaw.
My favourite part is when scorpius talks to snape! Snape is the best!!
BofTheB I'm with you!
BofTheB Wait snapes not dead?!??
ItsMeExn Haha read the book and you'll understand :)
jingzee cc idk when i can grt it im mindfucked tho
It definitely was!!! Like I had to read it over and over again
Sounds like the play called "The Wild Duck" by Henrik Ibsen. In this play everyone is compared to the wild duck.
I actually thought it was Delphi, but your theory about it being Harry himself makes just so much sense , I even got the chills listening to you!
