Albus Potter

Albus "Al" Severus Potter (b. 19 January, 2006) is a English halfblood wizard and the second son of Harry Potter and Ginevra Weasley. He was born two years after his older brother James Sirius, two years before his younger sisters Lily Luna and Ruby Euphemia, and four years before his younger sister Minerva Jasmine.

Albus was named in memory of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape, two former headmasters of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and both great wizards that his father knew. Neville Longbottom is his godfather and Luna Lovegood is his godmother.

He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 2017 to 2024 — at the same time and in the same year as his cousins; Rose, Dominique, and Lucy Weasley as well as Amadioha and Scorpius Malfoy — and was sorted into Slytherin.

Hogwarts Years (2017-2024)
Albus received his invitation to attend and study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in August 2017. On 1 September, 2017, Albus was sorted into Slytherin House.

Physical Appearance
Albus Potter is close to the appearance of his father, Harry Potter. He has his father's jet black hair which is described to be untidy and never sits flat. Albus has a thin face and a short stature, however, in this adolescence he grows to the same rate as his father did and thereby hinting he will grow to the same height as his father.

Albus is the only child of the Potter family to inherit his paternal grandmother, Lily, and father's, Harry; almond-shaped bright green eyes. Albus has been described as being an attractive and handsome young man. However, very similar to his father, he is ignorant of this fact. Albus' robes are hand-me-downs from his older brother James, making Albus quite uncomfortable and he was prone to playing with his clothes.

Magical Skills and Abilities

 * Flying: Having been selected as for the role of Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team at Hogwarts, Albus was a highly accomplished and talented broomstick flyer and Quidditch player, particularly for a wizard of young age.
 * Charms: Albus was capable of casting basic charms successfully such as the Unlocking Charm, Engorgement Charm, Cushioning Charm and the Fire-Making Spell. He was also shown to have a natural affinity at casting his father's signature spell, the Disarming Charm.

Possessions

 * Wand: Being a wizard who attended Hogwarts, Albus would have owned his own wand, which he would have likely brought from Ollivanders in Diagon Alley before starting his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This wand was of an unknown length, wand wood and wand core.
 * Broomstick: Having played as Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team at Hogwarts, Albus would have therefore owned his own broom, which was of an unknown model and unknown specifics.

Trivia

 * He is portrayed by Logan Lerman.
 * Though he was portrayed by Arthur Bowen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2; actors Sam Clemmett, Theo Ancient, and Joe Idris-Roberts in the original west End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child; actor Nicholas Podany in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child; and actor Sean Rees-Wemyss in the Melbourne production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.


 * The fact that Albus was the only of Harry's children to inherit Lily Evans' eyes could be interpreted as a reference to Albus' namesake, Severus Snape, who was obsessed with Lily and was notably fond of her eyes.


 * In the movie, Albus had a pet ferret. It's in the same family as the weasel, possibly a reference due to him being descended from the Weasley family. It could also be a reference to Draco Malfoy, the father of Albus' best friend, who was famously Transfigured into a ferret.
 * In the film, Albus is the first of the Next Generation characters to speak, the second being Rose and the third being James.
 * Albus and his cousin Rose are fourth cousins once removed of classmate Scorpius Malfoy; they are descendants of Phineas Nigellus Black.
 * Phineas was once the headmaster of Hogwarts like both of Albus' namesakes.
 * His initials A.S.P. make the word Asp, a type of snake. Coincidentally, the serpent is the symbol of Slytherin house.
 * Albus shares some similarities with his grandmother Lily Evans. They both are second born children. Both have the same bright green eyes; he inherited his eyes from his father who inherited his from his mother. They each have somewhat of a rivalry with their older siblings, his brother James and her sister Petunia.
 * Albus is shown to have similarities of both his parents; he inherited his father's personality and appearance and whereas he inherited his mother's sense of humour and accidentally falling into the web of Dark wizards (Ginny to Tom Riddle and Albus to Delphi).
 * Albus is in a similar position to his father's godfather, Sirius Black. Sirius came from a family which was predominately Slytherin but was himself placed in Gryffindor house. Albus is the exact opposite, coming from a family of Gryffindors but being placed in Slytherin. However, Sirius was always happy with his position in Gryffindor as it set him apart from his family. Albus initially struggled with his for the same reason.
 * Sirius Black, his father's godfather, is also his third cousin once removed through his mother Ginny. They are also related through Lucretia Black, Albus' great-great aunt by marriage and second cousin twice removed and Sirius' aunt by blood. He is also related in some way to Dorea Black, from his father's side.
