![]() ![]() ![]() Not much is known about him, except he seems to have the mischievous spirit of his two uncles, Fred and George Weasley since he stole the Marauder’s Map from his father the same way the twins had once stolen it from Argus Filch’s office. No one was surprised by this, though, since everyone in the last two generations of his family (his father, mother, maternal uncles, and both sets of grandparents) were sorted into Gryffindor. He was sorted into House Gryffindor in 2015. His godparents are his uncle and aunt Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger-Weasley. The eldest, James, was born in 2004 since he was in his third year of Hogwarts by 2017. Some would compare it to hardcore Potter fans who name all their children after Harry Potter characters.īut, if you look into the stories (yes, even The Cursed Child), you might understand why Harry and Ginny decided to name their children after the people they know. But aside from the fact that Harry’s second son and middle child Albus Severus has become the most popular of the three, people are confused about Harry and Ginny’s naming choices. The story continues on in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (which, if you’re like me, consider it non-canon despite what author J.K. And best of all, Harry’s scar had never pained him after all these years. ![]() Harry’s younger son expresses fear about being sorted into House Slytherin, the Hogwarts House with the worst reputation, but Harry assures him it won’t matter. In 2017, nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry, his girlfriend-turned-wife Ginny, and their kids head to Platform 9 ¾ to drop their sons off at the Hogwarts Express.

And, well, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child exists. Sure, the Wizarding World media franchise continues through the Fantastic Beasts film series. He’d already seen Star Wars - and it doesn’t get much darker than ewoks gleefully dancing around the flaming body of Darth Vader, right? But experiencing the series as a parent made me see things in a whole new light.The final book of the Harry Potter saga was released in 2007 and the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, came out four years later. The books were originally spaced out so that the audience would grow up with them hence the huge jump in thickness about halfway through the series, along with the addition of some super dark storylines. So maybe I jumped the gun a little bit when I started rereading (and re-watching) the series with my son when he was only 6. And I sobbed like a baby when I finally finished the last book, not just because of how it ended, but because it was, at the time, my last visit to the wizarding world. I spent a week in 2007 avoiding all media and watercooler conversations because Amazon screwed up and shipped my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows late. I mourned the loss of … certain characters (no spoilers!). ![]() I forced my husband to watch all of the movies with me (pro tip: playing a drinking game wherein you must take a sip “every time someone does magic” is a terrible idea). I spent most of my 20s wishing that I could be a wizard like Harry, attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, battling Death Eaters, and liberating house elves.
