Albus Severus Potter is a minor character in Deathly Hallows and the main protagonist of Cursed Child. He is the youngest son and middle child of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. He is the younger brother of James Sirius Potter and the older brother of Lily Luna Potter, and the one who represents Harry the most.
In Deathly Hallows Part 2, he was portrayed by Arthur Bowen, and was played by Sam Clemmett and Theo Ancient in the original West End productions.
Personality[]
He is a tragic hero, due to him being bullied by his older brother, and even later on, neglected by his father. He is also bullied for being the only member of the Potter family to be in Slytherin. However, he is still a brave, and kind Wizard, with many magical powers. He is also very intelligent.
Appearance[]
He's the only one of the children to inherit his grandmother Lily's eyes, making him the child who looks exactly like his father.
Powers and abilities[]
Albus had a hard time practicing magic at Hogwarts. He lacked the natural gift of magic. Yet, he was still able to perform basic magic, like the Unlocking and Engorging Charms. In time, he was also able to cast his father's signature spell, the Disarming Charm (Expelliarmus). According to Delphini, she sensed greatness and true talent within him. She told him that just like herself, he was probably just a late bloomer. This suppression was probably caused by his trauma that he struggled with his father's legacy. This might have been lifted when Harry, Albus and all their friends defeated Delphini.
Trivia[]
- He was named after the two Hogwarts headmasters Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape.
- Albus Dumbledore spoke the first line in the film series, and Albus Potter said the last line in the series.
