Meet the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child characters
So you think you know all the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child characters? Let’s test that, shall we? With the introduction of the next generation of witches and wizards, there are a few names you may not be as familiar with.
The definitive guide to all the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child characters
You know the books. You know the films. But how well do you know the stage play currently on at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End? Meet everyone in the record-breaking show based on J.K Rowling’s wizarding world.
Familiar characters in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Let’s start with all the characters you know, love and (sometimes) hate.
Harry Potter
The boy who lived to be an overworked Ministry of Magic employee and dad of three. See the lightning-scarred protagonist all grown up as we re-enter the Potter-verse where The Deathly Hallows left off - 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts. The next generation of magical folk - including Harry’s son Albus - attend the hallowed school. Due to the pressures of work and a strained relationship with Albus, Harry says a few things a father shouldn’t, leading to disastrous events and a dash through time.
Ginny Potter
Helping Harry to become an official member of the Wesley family, Ginny is Harry’s wife. In the show, Ginny helps Harry to reconcile with their son Albus - proving herself to be wise and grounded, just as she was in the books.
Hermione Granger
The over-achieving Hermione is now the Minister for Magic. She and her husband, Ron, have a daughter named Rose who is attending Hogwarts with Harry’s children. Ever the loyal friend, Hermione joins Harry on his quest to repair the damage done to his son.
Ron Weasley
Following his brother Fred’s death, Ron has paired up with George to run Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley. Completing the magical trio, Ron joins Harry and Hermione on an adventure through time in hopes of fixing the present.
Draco Malfoy
Harry’s nemesis, Draco, has led a difficult life. After the Second Wizarding War, he shed his prejudices and distanced himself from his Death Eater family. After finding love, Draco has a son called Scorpius who becomes Harry’s son’s best friend. Though his opinions have changed, his treatment of Harry and his friends hasn’t, leading to further tension between them.

Interview with Harry Potter and The Cursed Child’s Jade Ogugua
Just a few weeks have passed since Jade Ogugua stepped into the shoes of one of the most powerful witches of all time. In Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, the epic continuation of the beloved Wizarding World series, the world's favourite trio has grown up, but they remain adventurers at heart. Harry is a dedicated father of three, Ron owns a joke shop, and Hermione, unsurprisingly, leads The Ministry of Magic. However, when she's not ruling the roost, Jade is just like any other Muggle out there. So, let's catch up with her and see how she immerses herself in the mindset of "it's leviOsa, not levioSA."

8 magical Harry Potter facts that you probably didn’t know
We all spent our childhoods (and adulthoods) wondering what would happen if our own letter from Hogwarts came flying through the letterbox. Which wand would we snatch up in Ollivanders, and what house the sorting hat would place us in (Anything but Slytherin, ey)?
We’ve marvelled at hippogriffs, had nightmares caused by the forbidden forest, and cried for big friendly groundskeepers. Now the iconic stage production Harry Potter and The Cursed Child has become as much of a staple as a butter beer on a snowy Hogsmeades day. Just like the world of Harry Potter itself, these magical facts are steeped in a world of imagination!
