Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Quarter 3 Timed Write Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a father who saved the world? Imagine having to live up to that reputation, and be named after some of the greatest wizards of all time. Albus Potter has always grown up hearing of the battles and triumphs of his father's teenage years. Now that Albus has reached the age where he is able to attend Hogwarts, the school where it all began for his father, the expectations of himself and that others have for him are even higher. Hogwarts is a place where students learn and train to better themselves as wizards. The school also comes with all the reputations of a person’s past and family. A wizard can have completely different interests, friend groups, and talents, but how everyone else sees that person can have nothing to do with any of those. The second Albus walks into a room the crowd makes comparisons between he and his father, “ POLLY CHAPMAN: Albus Potter. KARL JENKINS: A Potter. In our year. YANN FREDERICKS: He’s got his hair.

Albus believes his father has put pressure on him to achieve this massive fame as well, “So what would you like me to do? Magic myself popular? Conjure myself into a new house? Transfigure myself into a better student? Just cast a spell, Dad, and change me into what you want me to be, okay? It’ll work better for both of us” (Thorne 27). Harry can’t reach out to Albus without a passive aggressive return attack. Albus has such a set frame of mind that it makes him near impossible to reach out

Rowling also addresses parent readers with the risks of heavily instilling certain views on their children. She demonstrates this by creating Draco Malfoy, a typical schoolyard bully based on the bullies she had dealt with during her own childhood. His character gives everyone else a hard time with his elitist, racist and spoilt manner, and holds qualities that can be seen in many children, such as pettiness and jealously. As adults we recognise, through Draco’s constant habit of reiterating his father’s words and general opinions of the world, that this rather spiteful boy himself is a product of circumstance, and as a result it had cost him the social ability to make genuine friends and distorted his views of the world before making discoveries

From the time I was fifteen until now when I was thirty-two, this series has been my all. No, I wasn't a fanatical fan like some of the others were that was obsessed with it to the point of being able to remember the Wikia and Pottermore information from the top of my head and able to argue about the lore like others did, but I did like to read the information on the series sometimes, I just didn't remember everything I ever read about it.
