In the beautiful Act Two, Scene 12 staircase scene, the boys are “lost and hopeful” as they look at each other, and when Albus breaks their gaze he breaks our hearts, too, because there’s something more than friendship there (127). At the end of Act Two, Scene Nine, Scorpius is “heartbroken” as he watches Albus walk away from him (120). Rowling––a romance that blazes through the first 95 percent of your script before being suddenly snuffed out by the last 5 percent. But I was particularly captivated by the love story you wrote between Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. I read The Cursed Child in just a few hours, swept along by the magic and mystery, the old friends and the new ones and your triumphant return to the Wizarding World. But along with being a Harry Potter fanatic, I’m gay.
