The man vs man plot is portrayed as a good against evil scenario. As in most Harry Potter novels, there is definite right and wrong.

Man vs Man
The story also includes the fight against the antagonist, Delphi. In the end, the protagonists, including Albus, Scorpius, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron, all gather and defeat Delphi in a battle. I would categorize this moment as the overall resolution.

This book is a drama, not a comedy

# data[].attributes.body
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is most definitely a drama. It centers on relationships and the fight against evil. There are little comedic elements.

Albus realizes that it is time to stop acting so selfish like Sheriff Woody here.

All of the characters evolve throughout the story. As the book is fairly fast-paced, many of these developments occur in certain turning points. One of the most notable of these turning points is when Scorpius tells Albus that he is being selfish and that he does not have that bad of a life. In this moment, Albus realizes that he has taken pity on himself due to his relationship with his father and devotes his time for the rest of the plot to helping others.

Internal Conflict (man vs self)

Man vs Self

Throughout the story the characters possess internal struggles. Albus struggles with his relationship with his father and living in the shadow of the great Harry Potter. Scorpius struggles with the loss of his mother and the accusations that he is Voldemort's child. Harry struggles with his relationship with Albus and the hardships of parenting.

Since the book is written in the form of a play, stage direction are written. The stage directions give the reader a glimpse into the character's mind. An example of this occurrence is "MADAM HOOCH enters and walks up the staircase. At the top, she gestures for SCORPIUS to move. He does. And slopes off-his object loneliness clear."

"Harry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy emotional world. Perfection is beyond reach of mankind, beyond the reach of magic"
-Albus Dumbledore

This quotation helps Harry to realize that perfection is unattainable by anyone, and the only way to get through life is to forgive and move on.

"The world changes and we change with it. I am better off in this world. But this world is not better. And I don't want that."
-Scorpius Malfoy

This quotation shows the selflessness of Scorpius and establishes him as a hero in the story.

Godric's Hollow:

# data[].attributes.body
The setting of the story also adds to the mood of certain scenes. For example, the beauty of the Hogwarts Great Hall establishes the sense of wonder when Albus first enters the school. In contrast, the dark and eerie setting of Godric's Hollow institutes the almost haunted feeling as the protagonists watch Voldemort murder James and Lily Potter.

In the Harry Potter series, the Hogwarts Houses symbolize stereotyping. Characters are grouped based on their main values. However, someones values cannot actually be quantified. For example, Cedric Diggory values hard work and loyalty, so he was placed in Hufflepuff. In one of the alternate realities, Cedric becomes a Death Eater, renouncing his friends and family, showing that he is not loyal.However, someones values cannot actually be quantified.

Forgiveness and reconciles relationships.

Forgiveness heals relationships.

Harry and Albus reconcile through forgiveness. When Albus is sorted into Slytherin, Harry is disappointed in his son. They fall apart, losing their bond.  Their realationship is tense for the majority of the play, but Harry finally apologizes at the end, proud of his son for who he has become, not his classification.

Fate cannot be tampered with.

In the book, fate is prevalent. Scorpius and Albus try to use the time turner to save Cedric Diggory from his death (fate). In doing so, they create alternate realities where Rose does not exist, and Voldemort won the Battle of Hogwarts. Had Albus and Scorpius not intervened, none of these events would have occurred.

One of the themes is that fate cannot be tampered with. Life is like a dice: unpredictable and unchangeable.

Albus and Scorpius are heroes in the story

Delphi is the prominent antagonist. She deceives Scorpius and Albus into helping her carry out her plans to help Voldemort in his rise to power. Much like previous Harry Potter antagonists, she is unafraid to harm others to make her desires reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy are the main protagonists. Though they make many mistakes throughout the script, creating several alternate realities, they have good intentions. The authors wrote the play so that the reader will always be rooting for Albus and Scorpius.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry:

# data[].attributes.body
The setting of this book is in the Wizarding World. Many of the locations, including Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, and Platform 9 3/4, are crucial to the plot. For example, Albus and Scorpius needed the cover of the Forbidden Forest in order to use the time turner unnoticed.
