dear god Albus Potter do you utterly haunt my thoughts
Just… Albus in the cursed child, for as mixed as people seem to be on it… Albus as the certified middle child who doesn’t have the cloak, doesn’t have the map, who doesn’t even have a family name?
Can you imagine little Al (not yet Albus because that’s a name he truly goes by once he has Scorpius) tucking himself into the cracks of the door as he hears his parents talking, hears his dad say it would have been better to know they were having two boys so they could have just called him Sirius
Al, getting teased by his invisible brother, yet seeing so distinctly that his father chose James over him for their family legacy
Al, who grew up on the filtered advice of a distant, out of reach mentor who he could never live up to. Not like James with his fun, his humor, or Lily with her love and her girlhood.
(Albus, who will hear Cedric called the spare and understand far too well what it’s like to be of secondary importance)
Al, who out of all his siblings looks the most like his father, a reflection to every family friend of what harry went through and an eternal reminder to himself and the world that he will always be his father’s legacy (he will look in the mirror for most of his adult life and see his father before he sees himself)
Al, age 11, seeking comfort on the train platform as everything changes around him and getting another lecture about bravery that he doesn’t feel he has
Al becoming Albus on that train, when the boy who would become the most important person in his life actually asks him, asks him what he wants to be called
Albus, under the sorting hat, struggling but thinking about who he wants to be outside of his family’s legacy and getting put in Slytherin for it
Albus, who grew up on war stories and hogwarts hyjinks staying up half his first night because he’s afraid of his peers, but doesn’t want them to know that because he so desperately and conflictingly wants to both fit in and stand out
Albus, who is bad at flying, humiliating himself in front of his peers, because he isn’t harry but isn’t Quidditch player Ginny either… Albus, who all the adults see as Harry’s extension; Albus, who struggles with charms like Lily never will, who can barely make his matchstick silver under the blue eyed portrait in the room, who struggles to parse through the moving and unequal words of wizarding textbooks, who attracts bullies like flies and doesn’t yet have his mother’s hexes to fight back
Albus, struggling to write that first letter home, to tell his parents and little sister that he’s different from them; Albus who doesn’t even get to tell them because James tells them first
Albus, who doesn’t get a green scarf and hat until after the first snow, unable to parse if it’s the color, the fact that he’s the second born, or maybe just that it’s him that made it come later than James’ had
Albus, who goes back home for Christmas and faces his father’s disapproval for befriending a Malfoy, his father’s distrust and attempts to assure his morality for befriending someone harry assumes cruel and antagonistic
Albus, having to hold awkward conversation with Rose and Ron and Hermione, because neither of the kids want their parents to know they’re not talking (they find out eventually, and though they’re nice about it, Albus knows they’ll always put Rose’s feelings first)
Albus, who is suddenly assumed more malicious and problem causing than he ever was before, who suddenly is seen as a prime person to scot the blame off to when things go wrong
Albus, who gets chosen after his sister (“just like her mother!”) during the family quidditch match; who gets meaningful looks from his Uncle Percy; whose Christmas sweaters are no longer red but never green; who suddenly cant seem to talk to his uncle ron anymore, someone who used to understand what it was like to be James’ brother
Albus potter who stradles the line of too Potter for Slytherin and too Slytherin for his family.
Albus Potter, who’s ambition has been squashed out by bullies and disregard and distrust, struggling to find his identity in a house and world that is still in the midst of undoing decades as an indoctrination machine…

Sibling War - Riddle Family Affair
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Riddle Manor had seen many battles—duels of power, wars of ideology, the clash of darkness and light.
But nothing—nothing—was as violent as the rivalry between Delphini and Mattheo Riddle.
"You absolute dumbass! You took my broom without asking, and now it's snapped in half!" Delphini shrieked, brandishing the broken remnants of her prized Nimbus 2001 like a murder weapon.
Mattheo, sprawled lazily across the velvet couch, didn't even look up from flipping his dagger between his fingers. "Relax, Del. I’ll get you a new one. That thing was ancient anyway."
"Ancient? Ancient?" Her voice climbed an octave, dangerously close to shattering the chandelier above. "That was a collector’s edition, you half-brained, ego-inflated, insufferable—"
"Oh, here we go." Mattheo groaned, rolling his eyes. "Merlin’s balls, you’re such a drama queen. Maybe if you weren’t so busy obsessing over a stupid broom, you’d actually have a life."
Delphini launched herself at him.
Mattheo barely dodged, leaping over the back of the couch as she swung the broken broom at his head. He laughed, dodging her second strike. "You really think you can take me, little sister?"
"You absolute prick—"
Marvolo sighed from his seat by the fireplace, flipping a page in his book. "You know Father is going to kill you both if you destroy the sitting room again."
Delphini hurled a hex. Mattheo dodged, and the spell obliterated a marble bust of Salazar Slytherin.
Marvolo just sighed louder. "And there it is."
"YOU’RE PAYING FOR THAT," Delphini screeched.
Mattheo smirked. "Make me, baby sister."
The house shook as another hex exploded against the walls. The family tapestry burst into flames. An entire bookshelf rattled, and somewhere, a window shattered.
And then—
The temperature dropped.
A sharp, suffocating chill filled the room, and the lights flickered out. Every candle in the manor snuffed out at once. The only sound was the heavy, deliberate click of polished shoes against the marble floor.
The hairs on the back of Marvolo’s neck stood up.
Mattheo and Delphini froze mid-duel.
From the darkness, Tom Riddle emerged.
His robes billowed behind him as if he were some ancient shadow made flesh. His gaze was slow and deliberate as it raked over the ruined room—the broken bust, the smoldering tapestry, the shattered window.
Neither Mattheo nor Delphini moved.
"Would one of you," Tom’s voice was silk stretched over steel, "like to explain to me why my home currently resembles the aftermath of a war zone?"
Silence.
A pause.
Then—
"Delphini started it," Mattheo said immediately.
"You unhinged, gaslighting bastard—"
"Enough." Tom didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to.
The air thickened, pressing down on all three of them like gravity itself had turned against them.
Delphini swallowed. Mattheo shut his mouth.
Marvolo, wisely, stayed out of it.
Tom folded his hands behind his back. "You will clean this entire room before dinner. You will repair every inch of damage done to this house." His voice lowered to something far more dangerous. "And you will do so in absolute silence."
Delphini opened her mouth.
Tom’s gaze flickered to her.
She snapped it shut.
"Good." Tom turned, his robes sweeping behind him as he left the room, leaving nothing but cold fear in his wake.
The moment he was gone, Mattheo exhaled, rubbing his face. "You’re so lucky he didn’t Crucio us."
Delphini shoved him. "You’re so lucky I didn’t Crucio you."
Marvolo just flipped another page. "Idiots."

Scorpius "jealous boyfriend" Malfoy
Really, how can people not consider The Cursed Child canon when these gems are in it?
Tumblr media
And I love how in the new version Scorpius clearly says that Delphi is "old". He's so wild when he's jealous
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
I'm working on a layout of the new script where Albus and Scorpius are canonically confirmed, and I'm also translating it into Italian if you're interested

just a little brainworm I can’t get out of my head and it’s finals week so I can’t focus anyways
If you don’t want spoilers for the play stop here lmao
if you’ve seen the play live (or through…other means) you might have noticed that in the montage scene (where they’re going through the first 3 years at Hogwarts) there’s always a certain someone in the background. yep that’s right Delphi is always on the platform when Albus leaves for Hogwarts (there’s a video somewhere on tiktok and on here if u don’t know what I’m talking abt)
Delphi quite literally has been watching Albus (and the Potters in general) since the very beginning. Now did she know Albus would end up being the black sheep of the family? Probably not. But it just so happened to work out that way.
And I can’t stop thinking about how easy it could have been for Delphi to get Albus completely on her side. Him being an outcast with a strong desire to gain his father’s love? Oh yeah Delphi twisted that once before and she could easily do it again.
But who did Albus meet and bond with on the train purely by chance? Scorpius -most-important-person-in-my-life- Malfoy. If Delphi wanted a fighting chance at saving her father she needed to get rid of him. After Albus’ fall out with Harry, removing the obstacle that was his best friend (by whatever means) might’ve really done it.
In particular, I was really inspired by that one shot from Star Wars Episode I where you have Obi-Wan and Padmé standing between Anakin and Palpatine as a visual representation of the obstacles Palpatine needed to eliminate before he could turn Anakin to the dark side.
tldr; Delphi clocked Albus’ emo ass from the very beginning, and if it weren’t for Scorpius, she easily could’ve twisted his desire for his father’s love into something ugly.
sorry if none of this makes sense this is my first tumblr post and I’m running on coffee and vibes, if you made it to the end thanks for reading through my ramblings!

Oh my, if Delphi escapes Azkaban, she might kill Scorpius for revenge.

The reason Delphi is called the Augury in the Dark timeline (where she was raised by her parents and not bullied by Euphemia Rowle) is because of the old legend of an Aurgury’s cry fortelling death. The Death Eaters started calling her that when she was a baby because anyone who made her cry was going to get killed by her parents.

There's such a fine balance between Scorpius knowing that Delphi can't be trusted but not being able to explain why, and also distrusting her simply because he's afraid she will take Albus away from him.
And it's something that is so interesting to look at.
Because, for the longest time, it's always been Albus and Scorpius. And he wants to like Delphi because Albus does, but he also doesn't trust her. And he doesn't want to be pushed out.
The emotional turmoil that he would have surrounding that isn't talked about enough.

everything that has changed in the extra shortened broadway version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child:
i went for a friend's birthday last night and got to see the now newly shortened (again) cursed child play and there were a lot of differences. it was super fast paced and didn't leave the actors a lot of time to breathe or live in their characters as much. it was still so lovely but it's definitely more of a shell than it once was. that being said! my friend and i have compiled a list of all the things that have been altered (that we can remember)
i tried to put everything as in order as possible but my brain isn’t always very good at that!
ACT 1
The whole bit about Hermione thinking Ron confunded the driving examiner is cut
“People always look when you three are together” bit is cut
Albus and Rose happen upon Scorpius much quicker in his compartment
Rose doesn’t say anything when Albus is sorted into Slytherin
There’s been a rumor about Voldemort having a child every year Scorpius isn’t the first to be accused was cut from Draco and Harry’s interaction on the platform.
Albus doesn't ask "What's the counter-curse?" in the potions scene; significantly cut down
Wandlore dance is extended slightly (I think??)
When Albus casts “Incendio” on his Hogsmeade slip, he doesn’t follow it up with his “The ironic thing is I didn’t expect it to work. I’m terrible at that spell.” bit, just leaves after Harry speaks
Harry and Hermione walk into Harry’s office at the same time for the time turner reveal scene instead of Hermione walking in and Harry already being there
The time turner reveal scene is much quicker
When Albus meets Delphi at the stairs, his dialogue of "Who are you? Because this is my house…" is cut and she just skips into the "You must be Albus Potter." lines after popping in with her first few lines
Rose pulls Albus into the compartment this time to speak to him instead of just walking in front of him to speak with him
Dialogue between Albus and Rose is cut down a bit before he goes to get Scorpius off the train
I think the “You really are an enormous geek.” bit was taken out
When Albus asks Scorpius “Did Cedric need to be killed?, instead of saying “Easy question, easy answer: No.”, Scorpius quietly responds “No” before Albus continues on with his ramble
Draco doesn’t say “Voldemort is dead. Voldemort is gone”, his first line in this scene is after the Dark Mark mention
Amos doesn’t say “Of COURSE they do!” when Albus tells him that the ministry has a time turner
Albus, Scorpius, and Delphi (all transfigured into their counterparts at this point) don’t go into the telephone booth to go to the ministry; instead, Delphi/Hermione and Scorpius/Harry wander off one way while Albus/Ron goes the other way (the wrong way) and they have to call him back
No fishfinger sandwiches remark from Hermione to Albus/Ron :(
Bane is completely cut
They have Harry, Draco, Ginny and Ron all searching in the forest instead of just Harry then they split off only Harry being there.
Harry searches the forest instead of encountering Bane; Ginny has to come get him
Albus isn’t in his pajamas in the hospital ward when he wakes up, just his uniform
Harry comes to the realization somehow on his own that Scorpius is the issue “It isn’t a what that’s wounding him, it’s a who” (or something along those lines) and then bans Albus from seeing Scorpius
Ron and Hermione's encounter atop the stairs is MUCH shorter
The entire scene where Harry gives McGonagall the Marauders Map and instructs her to watch Albus and Scorpius is cut
No Bane mention in the Draco and Harry fight scene
If I recall, the lines “I don’t want to hurt you, Draco.” and “How interesting, because I do want to hurt you,” were said earlier in the scene because of cut dialogue
Ginny says “It’s been one minute. What did I miss?” instead of “I only left the room three minutes ago. What did I miss?”
When Harry, Ginny, and Draco go to McGonagall’s office, some dialogue is cut
ACT 2
The act starts with Scorpius on stage in this scene; he’s surrounded by the death eaters as they do the Voldemort Day dance around him instead of him being absent in this scene (only really good change in my opinion, it looked super neat and added to the story)
Scorpius is a lot more intimidating towards Craig when asking where Snape is (trying to take on this counterpart of Scorpion King)
Scorpius doesn’t hug Albus in the water when he reappears (very well could have just been a this showing thing)
Ron and Hermione’s “marriage renewal” scene is cut and changed to just them almost making out (big loss because that scene was amazing)
When Scorpius tells Albus he thought of him to fought off the dementors, Albus goes “Oh.” pauses and then goes , “I mean… Good,” softly
Dialogue is cut from the Owlery scene, including the “it’s time that time-turning became a thing of the past!“ silly bit
Ron doesn’t ramble too long at all about having drinks with Neville, it’s just one short sentence; added in that Delphi is an “older girl” (from the five hour cut originally) and Ron is all like “but go get ‘em I guess”
Ron says “specialis-draco-is-stupido” or something along the lines of that instead of directly repeating "specialis revelio" to mock him
Hermione unscrews the bulb instead of Ginny
No “Still, if I had to choose a companion to be at the return of eternal darkness with, I’d choose you.” bit, that whole scene is considerably shorter :(
Harry and Ginny have a bit of a longer chat in the church; Ginny goes “You're lucky to have me, aren't you?” and Harry responds with “Extremely.” (derived from the original 5-hour play but swapped with who says it)
Ginny and Albus don’t have their heart-to-heart in the church
Delphi's magic show (the fight at the end) is shorter and happens more rapidly than before
it's quite a lot looking at it all on paper. truthfully, i miss the old version. if anyone has seen this shortened version and can remember anything else and/or i'm misremembering anything, let me know! i know i was searching for this when the play was first shortened again so i hope this reaches others who might be curious!

Dear HP fandom,
let’s talk about an orphan…
Whose parents were killed while they were a baby
Whose parents were killed by their greatest enemy/enemies, who opposed their views of the world greatly
Who had no more living relatives but aunt(s) and a cousin
Who grew up in an abusive household
Who was adopted by someone who really couldn’t care less about their wellbeing
Whose caretaker(s) were forced by outside circumstances to take care of them
Who, for the longest, did not know about their significant parentage
Who had a lot of expectations placed on them for said parentage
Who was told - when they were older - about a significant trait of themselves by strangers
Who was connected to a prophecy
Who was possessed of an ancient magic, a magic associated with the dark (Parseltongue)
Who longed painfully for a parental figure, but did not have the best of luck with those presenting themselves as potential replacement parents
Who formed a meaningful relationship with a winged animal
…dear HP fandom…am I talking about Harry Potter…
...or Delphi?

I wanted to draw Delphi for some reason so I did this, idk it's my first time drawing her it could've been better ngl.
Maybe she's evil here, maybe she's not, idk if she has the same parents or different ones, maybe she's an intern at Hogwarts library, or a muggle one, I haven't really thought about what she could be like in my head tbh 😔
I do like the idea of Albus thinking she's really cool and Scorpius getting jealous, lol 🙂‍↕️

The Potions prince
Snape, unbeknownst to the rest of the magical world, survives Nagini and just joins the muggle world, tired of Potter's and Voldemort's shit.
Because he is very angry at the incompetence of the ministry of magic, and because he has nothing left to loose, he decides to test just how bad the ministry sucks at its job: 2005 he creates a YouTube account on which he brews potions on camera.
9 years later James Sirius Potter is confused by his first year potion class and decides to google it, stumbleing over the Snape accout which, by now, has millions of followers and is an insanely popular ASMR channel.
Harry is lead to believe that his son has inherited Lily's and Flamont's potion talents... James would rather die then betray the source of his good grades to his dad of all people, but Sev's comment sections are filled with thankful Hogwarts students all of a sudden.
