Like father, like son? It sure looks like Draco’s taken after his dad Lucius, at least in terms of style. His kid looks kind of terrified, so maybe Draco’s also adopted Lucius' chilly, imperious demeanor. In the books, Scorpius is the son of Draco and his wife Astoria Greengrass (younger sister of Daphne, a minor character), but either she’s out of the picture or Draco just decided the family portrait would be better as a father-son bonding activity.
As much as Draco resembles his dad, there’s reason to believe the new generation of Malfoys are more progressive than the last one was. Draco lost his taste for Voldemort’s pureblood ideals after the events depicted in the books, andJ.K. Rowlinghas revealed onPottermorethat Astoria went through a similar conversion. “As Astoria refused to raise their grandson Scorpius in the belief that Muggles were scum, family gatherings were often fraught with tension,” she wrote.
And now that you’ve met the three clans at the heart ofHarry Potter and the Cursed Child, let’s finish out this batch of publicity stills with an adorable behind-the-scenes look at the actors posing for them. Everyone looks a lot less deadly-serious in real life.
