Harry Potter and the cursed child Hamburg

Just saw the play in Hamburg for the first time. It is such a beautiful piece on growing up and emotionally dealing with the process of humanising your parents, trauma and how it affects the following generations. It is such a timeless play, no matter where you live you can relate. We all know what it's like to feel like the odd one out, like we don't belong and how difficult growing up and everything it entails is.

Frankly, the superb magic tricks and the beautiful wizarding dances are only the cherry on top. The true heart of the story is the emotional arch of every character! It is so powerful.

I thought the relationship between Albus and Scorpius was portrayed really beautifully. Simple gazes and touches, that the actors incorporated in such an impactful and tasteful way, perfectly portrayed the blooming romantic feelings that are growing within them. It was very obvious that that is the direction their relationship is already developing into.

I loved it and can't wait to see it again!

Does anyone have a jordan ace audio? I'm dying to here a jordan ace version. I have things to trade with, if anyone's interested. 😅😊😇

HPCC Hamburg

The following are some of the little things the actors incorporated that really stuck with me:

Albus was very teenagey, like the perfect depiction of this awkward teen phase of struggling with your own emotions about yourself, about your parents, about school. Just feeling such big emotions but not knowing how to properly process or constructively communicate them. Very relatable!

I personally also always liked how Harry is portrayed in hpcc because I really get losing some of your youthful sparks of rebellion and adventure, when you become an adult, need to follow all these rules. It isn't always easy to keep that spark inside you alive when (corporate) life, all these responsibilites etc. restrict you. Harry also (imo) still is a very traumatized man and hasn't processed and/or healed the plethora of trauma he has experienced.

The German Harry actor did a great job. I completely understood where he was coming from and that his actions were justified in his mind, even if I disagree. He perfectly "balanced" harsh, overbearing father but also just being a traumatised child himself.

Act 1 Scorbus was the depiction of a true and beautiful and close friendship with starting hints of "more" through lingering touches and soft gazes. E.g. the library scene where Albus hugs Scorpius after they say the "Friends?" "Always" line. (Fun fact: that line translates to "Friends?" "Always" but can also mean "for forever" in german, which adds a layer of emotion to it.) Cedric (German actor playing) Albus was always very soft with Scorpius in a physical touch way. Very small touches or soft gazes that were so meaningful and held so much emotion!

A fun mishap that also happened: at the start of the moaning myrtle scene where albus usually hexes the soap bigger. Today the soap was nowhere to be found. And albus asked scorpius for the soap two times while scorpius answered no soap two times. So albus dropped his wand, the albus actor stood there for like 2 seconds contemplating which lines to drop and where to start again with the dialogue. ;) live theater I don't think someone who has never seen the play would have noticed.

Act 2 Scorbus scenes had a lot more emotional weight to it but in a good sense. You could definitely tell their friendship now had a much deeper emotion behind it and that their relationship needed to change and grow with them and their own personal growth. It felt like a very natural evolution of realizing your deeper feelings. The actors beautifully toed the line of true, deep friendship that is on the cusp of developing into something more in a very slow and meaningful way! I love that what they have is so pure and sweet that it doesn't really need a label because they both know they love each other but are also just figuring themselves out and who they are, let alone, what they are to each other. (I swear to God puberty and growing up is already hard enough as a muggle. ;) )

Act 2 details: in the owlery where scorpius tells albus that he fought for him and albus answers "Oh? Good!". You could tell that albus knew what that implies and the way he responded "good" was like elated and relieved that scorpius has the same feelings towards him, almost like glad that his feelings are reciprocated. In the church in godrics hollow albus sits down on the bench next to scorpius while explaining sth about the plot but the coy gaze when he sat down next to him was so meaningful and held so much emotion! I also just wanna add of all the hpcc boots I have watched I feel like the Hamburg one, where I was today, was the one that was the most obvious about the blooming romantic connection between them! It's subtext in all the other ones too but the body language and gazes between them in Act 2 today?! It feels wrong even calling it subtext. It was so painfully clear!

The palace of harmony scene: on the stairs albus and scorpius were so physically close with each other that really exceeds platonic closeness. To me it seemed like Albus was very clear about his feelings and that he knows that he likes him in a romantic way. Like trying small steps to test out the waters to see how scorpius would respond. Like when asking if it's really rose he wants in his palace albus gazes into scorpius eyes, hand on shoulder, faces like 10 cm apart from each other, knowing how he feels but also knowing how scorpius feels about him. It was a really beautiful thing to see. Albus so secure in himself and the way he perceives their relationship and its developing nature. Very cathartic, as the entire play he is always confused how to behave with his father, at school, fixing the time lines, he is never in a comfortable headspace, it's always in chaos. But the play ends with such clarity and security and safety of this bond he has with Scorpius!!!!! At the bottom of the stairs when scorpius hugs albus the albus actor played and said the line like "why are YOU hugging me?" as in usually it's him hugging scorpius and he wants to hear scorpius say what has changed in their dynamic. The see you at dinner line was very flirty while still being very innocent. In this version of the play physical touch and soft, meaningful gazes really is their love language!

The ending dialogue between harry and albus is so healing and cathartic, resolving what was at the core of the entire play their struggling father-son-relationship. They both are so vulnerable with each other, talking about their deepest emotions and opening themselves up. I love how the lines about his relationship with scorpius read like a coming out talk, while it never explicitely is stated.

I think I got the most important parts and want to really recommend the play to everyone! Watch it for the superb emotional storytelling!!!

Looking for following bootlegs:

I'm currently looking for hamilton, newsies (with jeremy jordan as jack kelly) and hpcc boots.

Is anyone willing to gift or trade? That would be greatly appreciated. :)

what are the different theories behind what Ron meant with the gifting of the love potion to albus. I'd be really interested to read how it's been interpreted/understood. Feel free to comment your interpretation :)

palace of harmony

it’s very interesting how they turned the scorpius and albus hug from a quick, sudden, one into a slow, somewhat confident, savory one and they added the boop!
