A Cursed Child Theory: Albus was sorted into Slytherin because Scorpius was.
HEAR ME OUT OKAY!!
The facts:
The sorting hat will take your wishes into account if you feel strongly enough
Albus felt very strongly about not wanting to be in Slytherin
The hat wasn't sure at first: "He puts his hat on ALBUSās head ā and this time he seems to take longer ā almost like he too is confused."
So why was he sorted into Slytherin?
Because Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, and Scorpius asked him if he wanted to be called Al or Albus.
We know our boy hates people calling him Al.
We know he feels an intense pressure to be who his family wants him to be.
Scorpius' first instinct was to ask him what he wanted to be called. In Albus' eyes, Scorpius was the first person in his life to put his wishes first. PLUS, we can only assume that after the scene cuts the two had the time of their little lives chatting on that train journey.
So when Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, a little subconscious part of Albus' brain went "if he's in Slytherin, it's okay if I am too" and that's why the hat decided Slytherin.
In the first alternate universe (in the original script) he's in Gryffindor. Why? There's no Rose to force him to try and make a friend on the train, therefore no meeting with Scorpius, therefore he gets put in Gryffindor because Slytherin now has no redeeming qualities to him.
Scorpius' kind lil soul is the reason Albus Potter was put in Slytherin.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

The one part version of the show will be shortened again about 30 minutes. I think the tour version already is the shorter version. Can anyone tell what the changes are?

okay so storytime:
guys I was a hardcore Cursed Child (London) fan when it first came out. saw the show opening night, then numerous times after that, kept up with the fandom, all that jazz. then I took a break for the past several years
today I went back to see it on a whim and
UHHHHHHHH
GUESS THEY MADE SCORBUS CANON WHILST I WAS AWAY HUH
(how is this real life????)
my face was an absolute picture I wish someone could have captured the expressions I kept making, I felt like I was going INSANE or having literal delusions
every time a line was different (or missing altogether??) I had to stop myself going HEY WHAT PARDON, and that final scene literally had me whispering "oh holy sh -" under my breath every five seconds lol
what a bizarre and lovely experience??
it took 8 years and umpteen rewrites but somehow this beloved little ship managed to scramble its way into canon. just. wow. I'm so happy for us all
when did this happen? who made the final call on scorbus? does anyone know the details?

I love that it is now canon (thank you, Polly Frame) that Ginny just understands Albus; she completely understands that Albus is finding wonderful clarity surrounding his love for Scorpius and she accepts that so whole-heartedly.
Ginny just loves and understands her son, and that's all there is to it. It's so beautiful.
Context: Polly Frame, who plays cast seven's Ginny in London's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, gives a knowing nod and smile towards Scorpius when telling Albus that she thinks he is now finding "wonderful clarity" after he says he thought he liked Delphi.

Anthony Boyle understood the assignment when he worked with the costume designers to have Scorpius wear skinny jeans and pointed, old man shoes rather than trainers.
I love how awkward Scorpius is like Lucius and Draco carried themselves with such confidence and elegance in school meanwhile Scorpius hasn't came to terms with the fact his long gangly arms and legs are HIS long gangly arms and legs and forgets how to walk whenever he's nervous. Takes a few more years before he processes the idea that he has a body.

itās been brought to my attention that maybe itās not common knowledge that in many of the hpcc casts yolly (yann fredericks + polly chapman) are considered canon so Iām here to fix that
theyāre everything to me and if I ever stop posting about them Iāve died
#longtime followers will know how long and obnoxiously I campaigned for this ššš#worth it for canon yolly!!!!!!!#I am using canon somewhat loosely bc it depends on the cast and the actors but I will also see yolly and if I canāt see it Iāll create it#but for a solid two years at least they were holding hands onstage every night in London#and probably longer in germany tbh#yann and polly#yann fredericks#polly chapman#hpcc#cursed child#harry potter and the cursed child#hp next gen#ccsquad#yolly#also THEYRE BOTH BI#MANY CASTS AGREE ON TAHT TOO#best part about canon bi yolly is that they defy gender#no matter who is playing the characters they hold hands#the day I saw lesbian yolly holding hands for the first time I fully ascended#and gay yolly too that was such a treat#I choose to believe this was my influence bc it lowkey was sorry!!!! at least in the beginning#thereās more btw I just canāt find it bc my photo albums are deeply unorganised#looking at the fucking. CRUMBS!!! of yolly content I have saved from 2018 compared to now though is wild in the very best way š„¹

So real. So True.
I think the only Scorbus pair so far where Albus is taller than Scorpius is Benjamin Papac and Jon Steiger in SF.
height difference !!!!!!!!!

Love that Albus looked like he was close to tear before he hugged Scorpius for the first time. It was probably the roughest day in his life, things were complicated and his emotion was a tangled mess. And then there was Scorpius, smiling bright like a sun, so happy and uncomplicated. It warmed him inside out. Then Albus proceeded to look at Scorpius with fondness and indulgence as he answer those quizzes enthusiastically. They are so small and precious.

Hpcc part two recap from January Third
The scorpion king spends a lot of time anxiously fiddling with his robes, he doesnāt know what to do with himself :(
Craig!Karl did an excellent high kick as he ran over to the scorpion king (probs to try and impress him ;))
Luke!Yann was making intense eye contact with the scorpion king as he checked whether they were ;) still ;) on ;) for ;) tonight
Yann and Karl do a very enthusiastic chant on āVOLDEMORTā
Lola!Polly pointing out as she spelt f a c t and then doing a very dramatic hair flick
āTaking to the ballā Lola was bobbing up and down like an excited penguin
āOh Potterā was followed by the loudest āeurghhhhhhā ever like she was genuinely disgusted
āThe future is ours to makeā she waved her hands in the air and did a dramatic little squeal
As the staircases went off Lola!Polly collapsed down on the stairs and fanned herself after her moment with the scorpion king
The scene in Dracos office is always super super intense with Jon!Scorpius. He gets worked up very quickly, he simply cannot believe his father would be responsible for all these cruel things and heās learnt to not bottle up how he feels anymore and he just explodes- very similarly to the library scene :(
After getting his head slammed on the table Jon kinda stays there sobbing for a bit, heās so broken at this awful world heās found himself in
Draco finds himself crying and fiddling with his wedding ring at the mention of Astoria and hurridly busys himself with tidying his desk as a distraction
Both of the boys were incredibly emotional and crying as they spoke about Scorpiusās mother š„ŗ
Draco comes to give his son a reassuring tap on the chest, but Scorpius fully flinches himself away from him, he is so scarred by the violent way his father treated him moments ago and doesnāt feel safe
When Jon mentions Albus he got all choked up on the line āmy best friendā as if he knew that it was very likely he wouldnāt ever get to see him again
When Hermione whipped her wand out at him Scorpius was so panicked and fell to the floor in terror, heās so scared and as Hermione is on top of him he lies there shaking and twitching his foot, heās so scared of the pain that might be inflicted on him :( - which makes the torture scene and the crucios later on so much worse
Scorpius tried to point out to Ron that his wands the wrong way round
I cannot remember for the life of me what was going on here but I have in my notes āTom reaching out his hands and jazz handing at the dementorsā and I felt like that needed to be shared
Scorpius took the biggest gulp before going into the lake, he knows the fate of the world relies on him
I adore how excited Dombus is about seeing a mermaid and then he dramatically re-enacts the āpincersā and flails his arms around dramatically
The lake hug is one of the cutest hugs ever theyāre both just so happy to see each other and hug so tight š„ŗ
Jon whacked the tie into the pool with such force it splashed Dom so hard
Draco imitates the awkward way Scorpius says āhello dadā so sassily with a little wave
Dombus tries so hard to pretend like heās got no idea what the time turner is - heās not a good liar ;)
In trouble again! Had some great moments including but not limited to Luke!Yannns iconic staircase cartwheel parkour display, and Rayxia shouting at Ronnie to āgo that wayyyyyā
Draco is such a little suck up to Mcgonagall, he sticks his hand up and proudly says āseems fairrrrā he canāt help himself but be a teachers pet
On the stairs when RGW finds out she didnāt exist Ryan!James does the most reassuring shoulder pat, we stan supportive cousins
Doms reply of ānoā after the are you okay is so broken and hurt and lost
Albus is properly snuggled up in the slytherin dorm scene, until Scorpius crawls out of bed and gets right round in his face to shout and wake him up
āMalfoy the unanxiousā Jon puts his hands on his hips and looks so proud of himself š„ŗ
āIām not sure being fearless is good for your healthā on fearless Dom mocked Scorpiusās confident movements and itās the cutest thing
Jon then sat down on the bed next to Albus as they had their little heart to heart, and Scorpius kept hugging his knees, there was a lot of touching going on here between the boys too
Albus tucks himself back into bed, ready for a good nights sleep before Scorpius ruins that chance
Ronnie!Cbj looked so worried when he realised scorbus were missing, we stan one prefect in training, he gave a determined nod at his orders from Minnie G and ran off as fast as he could
The owlery Scorpius drapes his legs down the stairs and has his hand resting right behind Albus leaning in super close
āA much underestimated part of modern witchcraftā- Scorpius then gave Albus a little nudge and it was super cute
Dombus gets very emotional when describing what the dark au was like :(( he thinks itās all his fault
Scorpius was crouching as far away from Delphi as possible he was clearly very frightened of her :((
Michelle!Hermione was blushing so hard at the āI bloody love youā and giggling like a little girl as she tapped on Tom!Rons chest
Joward!Draco was full on shaking his head at Rons revelation of Albus and his āolder girlfriendā like he knew it couldnāt be true since itās clear Albus is in love with his own son
After Ron messes up Scorpiusās name and calls him āscrupiusā Joward angrily shouted āSCORPIā But got cut off before he could say scorpius and just ended up venting out scorpi and it was very sweet
Scorpius flinched as soon as the wand was pointed at him :(((
After Delphi turns to Scorpius, Albus screamed āNO, no PLEASE NOā
Dombus charges forward at Delphi on the first crucio, hes so desperate to try and save his friend, and when he gets stopped he writhes on the floor in pain but trying to get up and save Scorp
Jon collapses on the floor completly broken after the first crucio, everytime a wand had been pulled at him since the dark au hes flinched, afraid at what awful spell will come out of the wand- I think this is because heās always been so enfatuated with magic, he loves it and all the clever ways it can be used to help people, but then he sees the horrors it can cause in the dark world and truly appreciates how the awful things it can do, and everytime a wand gets drawn on him heās terrified, if he could use those awful spells in a situation like that then surely anyone could, and then it finally happens, hes tortured and it breaks him because he knows that another version of himself was using it on innocent people
Before the maze Luke was giving the biggest cheers and Gordon was waving his slytherin scarf around like a windmill
Act Four
In the second EGM there were several shouts of āSHAMEā and āridiculous!ā
When Ron stepped up to defend his friends but said he had no idea what was going on everyone clapped
Scorpius nearly started tearing up when they mentioned Ceeby :(
Albus grabbed Scorpiusās hand (once again) to drag him along to godrics hollow :))
Lola waved at Luke after they put the pumpkins down and they did the biggest grin at each other and swunggggg their hands together as they exited :))
When hiding from bathilda bagshot Albus ran the furthest Iāve ever seen him run and had absolutely nowhere to hide so just stood by the wall at the front of the stage with his arms crossed and his head down trying his best to not look toooo suspicious (hint: it didnāt work)
Whilst watching his grandparents, Albus and Scorpius were stood super close together, Albus so happy heās seeing his grandparents, Scorpius wanting to be as close to Albus as possible to make sure heās okay
Both of the adorable little nerds were jumping up and down after seeing Bathilda Bagshot
Jamie!Harry is still sobbing over his interaction with Dumbledore and awkwardly turns away when Draco walks in because he doesnāt want to show how vulnerable he really is and puts on a brave face to the world
Joward!Dracos awkward laugh at this office will soon be mine is everything. āHahahahah. Ha.ā
Draco was getting very emotinal about Astoria and the blood malediction
Audience: all decide that this is the perfect moment to have a coughing fit
Albus speaks of his grandma with so much admiration and love
Scorbus are so excited about their plans, Dom grabbed Jons shoulders in pure excitement before realising it wouldnāt work
They both mime out the cot and standing over the baby and when Albus shouts āhelppppppppā dead seriously, he started jazz handing before they both collapsed into laughter at how stupid it was
If youāve seen Doms Albus youāll know what Iām on about but the pause after Scorpius says āIād choose youā hes sooooo touched, and so happy about it that heās literally speechless, and then he starts to open his mouth to say, āIād choose you tooā but then in true awkward Albus style he panics last minute and makes the joke about it but itās so cute and you can see Scorpius knows that he would choose him too
Jon!Scorp listens so intensely to what Albus has to say, even when he has no idea what is going on, he wants to support him and bounces up and down with Albus because he knows heās super clever and just needs the encouragement!
Tom!Ron leaning in for a hug after the āyouāve got really nice hair Dracoā and Joward being super sassy and turning away
Scorpius ran away from Draco when he came towards him, heās still haunted by the dark world :(
But then they leaned in for the hug and it lasted foreverrrrr neither of them wanted to let go and when they finally broke apart Joward started holding Jons cheeks š„ŗ
Albus and Ginnyās hug was super cute as always and then Albus kept his arm wrapped around ginny long after she broke apart
Susie and Jamie are the perfect Hinny, in the church they have a beautiful heart to heart and the they lean in together so that their foreheads are touching and itās the cutest thing ever
Scorpius is glowing after being referred to as like Hermione, it means so much to him to be referred to the girl who was āthe brightest witch of her ageā and the current minister for magic
Scorpius does not want his dad to volunteer to be voldemort heās shaking his head and trying to protect him in case something goes wrong and he loses the last member of his only family :(
After the suggestion of āzaPpingā Delphi, Draco makes zapping hand actions before he can stop himself and then looks at his hands in absolute disgust
Albus steps in front of his dad when Draco makes a comment, heās so desperate to protect him
There was a lot of reassuring holding going on with Scorbus as Albus watches his dad turn into voldemort :(
When Ron and Scorpius are looking out for Delphi, they were having a conversation and then Jon made binoculars with his hands to mime his being on the lookout
Dombus takes Harryās wand away during Lily and James and just holds Jamieās hand š„ŗ
Draco was stroking Scorpiusās head :((
Yolly did another hand hold as they walked across the stage and Lola!Polly was giggling :))
Jon says āoh yeah rightā after the mention of Rose after their hug so quickly and confused, Rose is literally the last thing on Scorpiusās mind right then bless him
Jamie!Harry did a large shudder before muttering out āpigeons!!ā
Jamie!Harry did the biggest laugh at Albusās pigeon racing joke and it was reallyyyyy sweet
And thatās it on my notes there but I hope it managed to give you some dombus and scone feels and plenty of scorbus š„ŗš cast four are really something special and I loveeee writing about them so sorry these notes are rather long haha :)
