James Potter (Harry’s Father) Quotes in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
HARRY (finally losing his temper): You know what? I’m done with being made responsible for your unhappiness. At least you’ve got a dad. Because I didn’t, okay?
ALBUS: And you think that was unlucky? I don’t.
HARRY: You wish me dead?
ALBUS: No! I just wish you weren’t my dad.
HARRY (seeing red): Well, there are times I wish you weren’t my son.
There’s a silence. ALBUS nods. Pause. HARRY realizes what he’s said.
No, I didn’t mean that…
ALBUS: Yes. You did.
HARRY: Albus, you just know how to get under my skin…
ALBUS: You meant it, Dad. And, honestly, I don’t blame you.
There’s a horrible pause.
You should probably leave me alone now.
HARRY: Albus, please…
ALBUS picks up the blanket and throws it.
HARRY: Voldemort is going to kill my mum and dad—and there’s nothing I can do to stop him.
DRACO: That’s not true.
SCORPIUS: Dad, now is not the time…
ALBUS: There is something you could do—to stop him. But you won’t.
DRACO: That’s heroic.
GINNY takes HARRY’s hand.
GINNY: You don’t have to watch, Harry. We can go home.
HARRY: I’m letting it happen… Of course I have to watch.
HERMIONE: Then we’ll all witness it.
RON: We’ll all watch.
