Eventhough I have a lot to do when it comes to my studies I really can't keep my hands off of Harry Potter and the cursed child. I have read the first act and I really love it, it is so breathtaking and I would love to get to see the play it would be wonderful and exciting. The best would've been if they would decide to make a screen play for all the fans who will not be able to travel to London and see the play. Well, at least we have the manuscript and get to know the story of Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy.

While reading this first act I reflected upon the end of the Harry Potter series and how nervous Albus was about begining at Hogwarts, how afraid he was about being put in Slytherin when both his parents and his older brother was all in Gryffindor. What Harry then tells his son is really beautiful that it doesn't matter, that he will love his son either way. Well, in the play the story evolves and many semesters come and go and the realtionship between father and son gets worse. I'm specifically thinking about the scene were Harry gives his older son James the invisibility cloak and Albus gets a ordinary blanket. I think yeah, what response did he actually expect from his son? A blanket isn't as exciting as an invisiblity cloak and I can't but think that Albus actually feels a litte betrayed by his father and maybe thinking that James got the cloak since he is in Gryffindor and he Albus gets a filthy blanket since he is in Slythering. 

The cloak and the blanket are symbols for the two houses and the two boys. One is popular and have a lot of friends while the other is unpopular and made fun of and only has one friend Scorpious the son of the archenemy of his father.
