Set nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, this story follows a grown-up Harry Potter — now an overworked Ministry of Magic employee, husband, and father of three — still haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. His middle child, Albus Severus Potter, struggles under the crushing weight of his famous family name, feeling like an outsider in a world that expects greatness from him. When Albus forms an unlikely friendship with Scorpius Malfoy and the two boys attempt to rewrite a painful moment in wizarding history, their reckless actions send ripples through time with dangerous and unforeseen consequences. Note: this is a published playscript, not a novel.
