This book is a great addition to any Harry Potter fan’s library and is perfect for the younger reader. There are plenty of characters to keep you busy, so you may find yourself rereading the story over and over.
Delphi’s curse
Delphi, the ancient Greek oracle, is located on Mt. Parnassus, 75 miles west of Athens. This mountain is covered with snow in the winter months, but it is not usually the source of Delphi’s curse.
The oracle of Delphi is famous because it was the center of godly truth. Thousands of pilgrims came to this holy city seeking guidance. But the oracle never seemed to recover from the earthquakes in 373 B.C. which destroyed the temple.
When Plutarch became the priest of Apollo at Delphi, the powers of the oracle were weakened. Nevertheless, Delphi was still the most influential voice in classical Greece.
In a book titled, Harry is the Cursed Child, a series of events lead to the birth of a child who would become an orphan. He or she would suffer the psychological consequences of his or her childhood.
The oracle of Delphi is credited with having the ability to manipulate Albus and Scorpius into traveling to the past. This is done using the magic of a wand.
Another trick was using a wand to create a bubble of ice. This bubble was a protective barrier against fire. It also created a sense of wonder for the child.
A third sleight of hand was using a wand to shoot a green light. Although this is not as well documented as the aforementioned, it is a popular suggestion.
Other ancient references include Pausanias’ description of the adyton. However, no serious scholar has accepted the hypothesis that gas emissions caused the trance.
As you might have guessed, the real oracle of Delphi is not the little dragon. Instead, it is the cute snake woman who triggered the series of curses.
There are several theories as to what caused the adyton. Some have suggested that it was a petrochemical or bituminous material. Others claim that it was a smudge on the rocks.
It was a good thing E2H was curious enough to ask. Or else, he might have died from Delphi’s curse magic.
While the oracle of Delphi is not the fanciest of all the oracles of old, it is the most important.
Scorpius Malfoy’s curse
Scorpius Malfoy is one of the most unique characters in the Harry Potter series. His character is defined by his emotional vulnerability and anti-traditional masculinity. He is a nerd for knowledge and magic, and he has a deep love for his friend Albus.
Though he is the son of Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass, he was raised with non-pure-blood wizards. After his mother’s death, he confided in his father. He also tried to save Cedric Diggory.
As a young child, Scorpius learned the magic world from books. In addition, he had an imaginary friend, called Flurry. This imaginary friend had a name change to Hector in the Melbourne production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
During his time at Hogwarts, Scorpius was bullied. Eventually, he developed a crush on Rose Granger-Weasley, but this relationship is only mentioned briefly.
Despite his love for his friend Albus, Scorpius is jealous of his brother. Often, he feels excluded because of his geeky nature. However, the reason for his jealousy is not his father or his mother, but rather his infatuation with a girl. When his girlfriend leaves him for another boy, he asks for other people to be there for him emotionally.
Despite his problems with his parents, Scorpius is a sweet friend to Albus. He will do anything for his friend. And he is a model for bravery and vulnerability.
In the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Scorpius is mentioned. At first, he was shocked to learn that he was actually the son of Voldemort. But he is now able to forgive his father.
The Cursed Child is filled with memorable characters. But Scorpius Malfoy is the heart of the play. A character that is often overlooked due to his nerdiness, he is a wonderful example of the vulnerability and strength that makes a hero.
It is impossible to deny the impact that Scorpius has on the audience. Bertie Gilbert portrayed the character in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 film. Now, it is the turn of Anthony Boyle to play the role on stage.
Albus Potter’s arc
Albus Potter has a complicated relationship with his father. He inherited some aspects of his father’s personality, including his keen sense of humour. However, he also inherited his father’s fear of Slytherin House.
Albus and his cousin Rose shared a friendship with fellow Slytherin, Scorpius Malfoy. When they first met, they were both nervous about Sorting. They became closer when they found themselves in the same year at Hogwarts.
When Delphi revealed her plan to travel through time, both Albus and Scorpius were skeptical of the idea. Although Delphi’s motives were mysterious, she was actually trying to bring back Lord Voldemort. She manipulated both Albus and Scorpius into her plan.
Albus and Scorpius were gullible. While they were working together on their plan to save the world from Delphi, they were also suspicious of one another.
One of Albus’ most notable moments is when he saved his father’s life during a battle with Delphi. It is a moment that shows how much he was willing to sacrifice for his family. In the aftermath, Albus was depressed and became resentful of his father.
When Albus was in his fourth year at Hogwarts, he became depressed over his father’s legacy. He wished Harry wasn’t his father. At the same time, he was a good friend to Scorpius.
Albus and Scorpius have a complicated relationship with each other. Even though Scorpius was always there for Albus, he felt threatened by his relationship with Delphi. During the Polyjuiced into Harry scene, Scorpius was even present.
Albus and Scorpius work well together when they are under pressure. But they had a difficult relationship when they were younger. A common theme was that Albus tended to shut out his cousin.
Despite his trouble with magic, Albus is a very smart boy. He learned to use simple spells in his youth, although he struggled to master them.
Albus and his cousin Rose have an awkward relationship after they become friends with Scorpius. Their relationship is further complicated by their shared fears of Sorting.
Albus is a handsome young man with almond-shaped green eyes and a dry wit. However, he has an erratic temper. Fortunately, Albus’ mother Ginny is a protective parent.
Dodehender – A cursed childe made careless mistakes in a place laden with memories
DoDEHENDER is a new metalovy project. The band has been around since 2013, and they have released three EPs so far. Their debut, A Cursed Childe Made Careless Mistakes in a Place Laden with Memories, balances epic atmosphere with a lot of ideas. This is a good sign of things to come from DoDEHENDER.
They were started by Cesco, former drummer of the math-chaotic hardcore band ZEIT. Now he’s teamed up with Sebastiano Busato and Nicolo Gerotto to form the three-headed monster that’s Dodehender. The lyrics are written by Sjalvmordshund, and the music is recorded at Deep Sound Recording Studio.
