Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Are you crawling away from me? Harry Potter. Hero of the wizarding world. Crawling away
like a rat. Wingardium Leviosa!
The church pew ascends into the air.
The question is whether it’s worth my time to kill you — knowing that as soon as I stop my
father your destruction will be assured. How to decide? Oh, I’m bored, I’ll kill you.
She sends the pew down hard upon him. It smashes as he rolls desperately away.
ALBUS emerges from a grate on the floor. Neither notice.
Avada —
ALBUS: Dad . . .
HARRY: Albus! No!
ALBUS throws HARRY one of the wands. HARRY catches it, full of consternation about the risk
his son has taken.
DELPHI: Two of you? Choices, choices. I think I’ll kill the boy first. Avada Kedavra!
She fires the Killing Curse at ALBUS — but HARRY throws him out of the way. The bolt
smashes into the ground.
He fires a bolt back.
You think you’re stronger than me?
HARRY: No. I’m not.
They fire bolts mercilessly at each other as ALBUS rolls quickly away and slams a spell into
one door and then another, opening them.
ALBUS: Alohomora!
HARRY: But we are.
ALBUS: Alohomora!
HARRY: I’ve never fought alone, you see. And I never will.
And HERMIONE, RON, GINNY, and DRACO emerge from the doors, and fire up their spells at
DELPHI, who screams out in exasperation. This is titanic. But she can’t fight them all.
There are a series of bangs — and then, overpowered and devastated, DELPHI tumbles to the
floor.
