The Cursed Child Made 1 Harry Potter Death Much Worse

The Cursed Child made one Harry Potter death much worse than it needed to be, and it shouldn’t have been included. The Cursed Child is an on-stage sequel to the Harry Potter franchise and takes place 19 years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ends. The play has been, and still is, successful among critics, however, the script has divided audiences. Some refuse to accept it as canon in the wider Harry Potter universe, but The Cursed Child still hurts canon less than the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

Following the main characters of Harry Potter, (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, and their children), The Cursed Child uses the Time-Turner to explore the idea of alternate realities. When Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy use the Time-Turner to alter the past, they unwittingly cause a chain of events that lead to Voldemort’s success in the Battle of Hogwarts and his dictatorship over the Wizarding World. Their meddling with the Time-Turner also means Hermione and Ron never marry, Umbridge becomes the Headmistress of Hogwarts, and Harry is dead. The reason Albus and Scorpius use the Time-Turner is to bring back Cedric Diggory on Amos Diggory and Delphi’s, who was originally thought to be his niece, request – which they succeeded in.

However, bringing back Cedric made his death in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire  — which also cut the Hogwart's school song - much worse than it needed to be, especially by using a plotline where Cedric becomes a Death Eater. Cedric’s death is a major plot point in the Harry Potter franchise, not only does it mark the first death of the war with Voldemort, but it causes a lot of guilt and trauma for Harry. In
