Plot
Stood on platform nine and three quarters waiting for the Hogwarts Express, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley send their son Albert Severus Potter off on his first day at Hogwarts. Hermione Granger, now the Minister of Magic, alongside husband Ron Weasley also wave off their daughter, Rose Granger-Weasley. Nineteen years ago, when they saved the wizarding world, they were all about to take the very same train…
When Albus, son of the heroic Harry Potter, is sorted into Slytherin, he astounds the whole school. Drifting from his cousin Rose, who was sorted into Gryffindor, he forms a somewhat surprising friendship with Scorpius Malfoy, who like Albus, is bullied by other students for being Voldemort’s supposed child.
Using a newly adapted time-turner, which is obtained by Harry, Albus and Scorpius embark on a quest to save Cedric Digory and find themselves meddling with time in a way that could change history forever...
