Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

the reason why we’re all here — THE CHAMPIONS. Representing Durmstrang, what
eyebrows, what a gait, what a boy, there’s nothing he won’t try on a broomstick, it’s Viktor
Krazy Krum.
SCORPIUS and ALBUS (who are really getting into playing the Durmstrang students now): Go, go,
Krazy Krum. Go, go, Krazy Krum.
LUDO BAGMAN: From the Beauxbatons Academy — zut alors, it’s Fleur Delacour!
There’s some polite applause.
And from Hogwarts not one but two students; he makes us go all weaky at the kneesy, he’s
Cedric Delicious Diggory.
The crowd go wild.
And then the other—you know him as the Boy Who Lived, I know him as the boy who keeps
surprising us all . . .
ALBUS: That’s my dad.
LUDO BAGMAN: Yes, it’s Harry Plucky Potter.
There’s cheering. Particularly from a nervous-looking girl at the edge of the crowd—this is
YOUNG HERMIONE (played by the same actress as plays ROSE). It is noticeable that the
cheering for HARRY is slightly less than that for CEDRIC.
And now — silence please, all. The — first — task. Retrieving a golden egg. From a nest of
— ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you — DRAGONS. And guiding the dragons
— CHARLIE WEASLEY.
There are more cheers.
YOUNG HERMIONE: If you’re going to stand so close I’d rather you didn’t breathe on me quite so
much.
SCORPIUS: Rose? What are you doing here?
YOUNG HERMIONE: Who’s Rose? And what’s happened to your accent?
ALBUS (with a bad accent): Sorry. Hermione. He’s got you mixed up with someone else.
YOUNG HERMIONE: How do you know my name?
LUDO BAGMAN: And with no time to lose, let’s bring out our first champion — facing a Swedish
Short-Snout, I give you — CEDRIC DIGGORY.
A dragon roar distracts YOUNG HERMIONE, and ALBUS readies his wand.
