About the show
A new generation of Potters is at Hogwarts! Albus Severus Potter is off to Hogwarts for the first time and is afraid he won’t live up to his famous wizard father’s name or expectations. Choosing his own path, Albus befriends Scorpius Malfoy, the son of the dreaded Draco Malfoy.
Albus decides to fix what he sees as a wrong and goes back in time with Scorpius to save Cedric Diggory. Together they learn about trusting in each other, trusting the wrong person, and how changing the past affects the future. Harry, his wife Ginny, and Draco join forces with Hermione and Ron to help save Albus and Scorpius from their choices.
