I was just thinking about Harry's job. He is now the head of Magical Law right? Rowling stated before that Hermione was high up in this department so I guess maybe Harry achieved this position after Hermione got elected as the minister of magic. I always thought Harry would stay as the head of Auror department, it is interesting he changed his career

Head of Magical Law Enforcement So its still the Auror department. He's just in charge of it.

Pretty impressive considering he's not even 40 yet!

Some details about the Potters:

When the play starts Harry and Ginny are happily married and they are a really sweet couple who obviously love each other a lot (they share a sweet moment when the kids leave for school and they embrace)

Ginny and Harry do have a little bit of banter and it’s cute

Ginny is a stern but fun mother who cares a lot about her family and is really concerned about Albus

When Harry begins to have nightmares and his scar hurts again, Ginny knows pretty much automatically and tries to help him through it

There is a scene when Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny are sitting together and laughing and talking and Ron says Ginny can still cast a mean Bat Bogey hex and she agrees

Ginny accompanies Harry and the rest on pretty much everything they do, from searching for Albus to attending Ministry meetings about the resurgence

There is a really important scene in which Draco comes to visit Harry and is all angry bc Scorp is still gone and Draco and Harry get into a duel. Ginny breaks up the duel, separates them, and serves as a mediator. Draco grows angrier and says “My son is missing!!” and she screams back “SO IS MINE” and it’s really powerful

Later on, when Draco is talking about how jealous he was of Harry and how lonely he was (he mentions Tom Riddle during this), Ginny agrees with Draco and says she felt the same (I felt like it was a direct allusion to Ginny and Tom’s diary in CoS) and Harry and Draco look at her in surprise

Harry and Ginny’s relationship becomes strained in the latter half of the play bc of Albus missing and then him coming back and Harry worrying he isn’t safe bc Bane the centaur had talked with Harry and said he felt there was a “dark cloud” around Albus and Harry thinks it means Scorpius

Harry becomes super strict and adopts an attitude of “it doesn’t matter if he likes me, it just matters if he is safe” and Ginny gets mad at him and says he is being too harsh and cruel and Harry disagrees

However, by the end of the play, Harry realizes he has been wrong and needs to apologize to Albus and he and Ginny make up and go to try and find/rescue him and say he is sorry

I am not completely sure those 2 things are the same. Rowling did mention in the interview before that Harry at 26 becomes the youngest ever head of Auror department. This specifically states he is the head of magical law enforcement so I think this is even a bigger promotion he gets later in life - it certainly makes sense because more than 10 years had passed, he could have achieved even a bigger promotion during those years.

I could be wrong of course but these positions do seem different even if they are probably similar. Maybe he has bigger responsibilities that go beyond the Auror department.

In any case, it is very impressive considering the age, and also for Hermione to already become the minister of magic.

This is a good tumblr site where the person shares details of the plot and what she/he found good and bad in the play:

Is it true that Rose is very little in Part 2? If thats true, I am even more disappointed that they made her ignore Al because he is Slytherin. For one, there is no way that mom like Hermione who had difficulties because she is different raise a daughter like that. But even if it is possible - if Rose hasn't learned a lesson or been criticized by her parents, there is no point in doing this, it is beyond stupid

Doing what? I think the play's focus is on Albus and his relationship to his father. It does look like Rose is just a secondary character but then again at least she gets some presence, as oppose to Hugo who has none at all.

The books centered around Harry so its logical to assume that would continue in this production.

Her opinion is immature, yes, but we have to consider she is only 11-14 and like all kids don't always make the best choices. That's what life is for. And they do make a point to show she might have a change of heart at the end.

I dont care that Rose is not a bigger character, I get that it is about Al and Harry. What I am saying is it weird they brought it up in the first place since she is a minor character. But still, I just can't imagine a Weasley kid acting this way. Not in a family where her mother knows best what that feels like, her uncle Bill's face is all messed up which I'm sure also created difficult moments for him - by that logic she would have treated Hugo that way if he was sorted in Slytherin. It is sad in general it looks like Slytherins have such a bad reputation, like the war didn't change people for the better

But again, I really thought that Weasley and Potter kids would have been friends - they don't have to be BFFS but that they love one another because they are also cousins

Well you can't change everyone's perception over night. Sometimes these things take generations and generations to change. I think it would be completely unrealistic to make Rose too perfect. We all have flaws and prejudices, this is hers. I think it does end with her reconsidering and that's something. In the books both Ron and Hermione had issues with Slytherin. Most of their generation did, so it makes sense that Rose would hold that same belief. And this play is definitely a Slytherin redemption story that puts them in a much different light so that's a huge positive and you get the sense that its only going to get better, especially now that the Potters now have a Slytherin to be proud of in their family.
