I couldn’t see that you needed to hear that this closed-up, tricky, dangerous old man… loved you.Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the United States, India and the Philippines as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) is a 2001 fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus and distributed by Warner Bros. HARRY: You would have hurt me less if you had told me this then.ĭUMBLEDORE ( openly weeping now): I was blind. I am no fit person to love… I have never loved without causing harm. Of course I loved you… and I knew that it would happen all over again… that where I loved, I would cause irreparable damage. You walked uncomplainingly along the path that had been laid at your feet. He begins to cry but tries to hide it.īut I had to meet you in the end… eleven years old, and you were so brave. I did not want to hurt you…ĭUMBLEDORE attempts to reach out of the portrait-but he can’t. Leaving him in places he felt unloved-growing in him resentments he’ll take years to understand-ĭUMBLEDORE: No. And I have proved as bad a father to him as you were to me. HARRY: “Love blinds us”? Do you even know what that means? Do you even know how bad that advice was? My son is-my son is fighting battles for us just as I had to for you. They acknowledge the mistakes they’ve made and promise to treat each other better in the future. Ultimately, Albus and Harry are able to reconcile by realizing that they have more in common than they thought. Still, like his father, Albus often ignores the counsel of the adults around him in favor of doing what he thinks is right-and through his ingenuity, he is able to help Harry and the other adults find and capture Delphi when she kidnaps Albus and Scorpius. Albus finds the most solace in his deep friendship with Scorpius, which is why he’s so devastated when Harry says that they can no longer be friends because Harry believes Scorpius is dangerous. Albus struggles with his relationship to Harry, even admitting that sometimes he wishes Harry wasn’t his father-and then being extremely hurt when Harry says that sometimes he wishes Albus wasn’t his son. When Albus hears Amos Diggory begging Harry to bring his son Cedric back from the dead, Albus comes to think that it’s Harry’s fault that Cedric died and he resolves to correct his father’s mistake. Albus does make one close friend, Scorpius Malfoy, who similarly feels like an outcast at the school. He is placed in Slytherin House (rather than Gryffindor like Harry), he doesn’t excel in Quidditch or school, and he makes very few friends and feels like a disappointment to his father-even though Harry assures Albus that he only cares if Albus is happy. Harry made friends for life on his first day of school and ultimately saved the entire wizarding world from Voldemort Albus, on the other hand, quickly feels when he arrives at Hogwarts that he isn’t living up to this lofty reputation. As Dumbledore’s portrait points out later in the play, giving Albus the names of two great wizards put a lot of pressure on him, in addition to the pressure Albus feels to try to live up to his father Harry’s legacy. Albus is named for Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. Albus is Harry Potter’s middle child and the protagonist of the play.
