Yeah well it's already been established that Al is the "cursed child" so it's reasonable to assume that there is some family drama between him and his dad Harry. His first year at Hogwarts isn't going to be an easy one.

Looking at the actors, I doubt this whole story will be exactly 19 years later though, maybe they go a bit further as the play goes on, since Al in the picture doesn't look he is that young. But we will see soon enough of course.
Also, Ron, Hermione and Rose being presented as Granger-Weaslys - I think it is perfectly typical of Hermione as a character to also keep her own surname, I can definitely see that. Last edited by zeze88; 06-01-2016 at 03:30 AM |

Yep. Those kids certainly look older than 11.

Hm I still think its 19 years later since they state that on the official site. But we have to understand that the young actors playing the kids have to have the maturity and the gravitas to handle the demanding parts. Alot of musicals can hire multiple child actors to play the same role. (Billy Elliot, Matilda, Annie etc) but this play is different. The commitment is different. So that's probably why they decide to go with slighter older young actors than just 11/12 year olds. It make sense to me. I want to see exceptional performances, not mediocre ones by children who's acting skills need more time and stage experience to develop.
Its MUCH easier to cast kids for film and tv because you have so many chances to retake scenes to perfect their performance on screen. Stage doesn't have that advantage. __________________

Of course that you may be right but at the same time the article mentions that the plays begins 19 years later, that doesn't necessarily mean it stays that way. And also, Rowling pointed out that Ron in his 40s hasn't changed that much - if it is only 19 years later then she could have said "Ron in late 30's".
But anyway, our speculations will be over soon enough |

They revealed Ron, Hermione and Rose today. Rose looks a little bit older than 11/12 years old.

I don't even know why I'm so invested in who is playing who. It's not like any of us will get to see the play.
If we want to know what happens we can just read the script, and envision our own version of the characters, just like we did with the books. __________________

Yes jon robb66, the script book will be out on midnight of July 30th. I'm hopefully attending a midnight release party at my local bookstore where I preordered it. Can't wait. __________________

I love the Granger-Weasley family pic so much. Rose even matched her dad's smile. UGH.
Paul stated in the article below that the play is 19 years later but I agree that the kids don't look like their age. I'm guessing they progress much later in the play, maybe 2 or 3 years more. Quote:
