About the book

Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter works as an overworked employee at the Ministry of Magic while his son, Albus Severus, struggles with the weight of his family legacy. Albus forms an unlikely friendship with Scorpius Malfoy, and the pair steals a prototype Time-Turner to save Cedric Diggory from his fate in the Triwizard Tournament. Their interference creates alternate realities where characters like Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Lord Voldemort occupy vastly different roles, threatening the stability of the wizarding world.

This script is for long-time enthusiasts of the original series who want to see how the central trio navigates adulthood and fatherhood. Readers gain a different perspective on the Harry Potter canon through a medium designed for the stage rather than prose. The story provides a conclusion to the struggle between the Potter and Malfoy families, focusing on how children reconcile their own identities with the choices made by their parents.
