Harry Potter & The Cursed Child: 18 Biggest WTF Moments
11. Scorpius Is A Moron
Okay, so Scorpius is pretty much the stand-out character in The Cursed Child. He's funny, full of self-effacing charm and exactly the kind of second generation character you'd like to see explored more (if JK Rowling actually returns to modern day Wizarding World stories).
But he's also a gigantic, almost world-ending idiot.
Having almost ended the world once using the Time Turner, by accidentally creating an alternate timeline in which Voldemort won, Scorpius doesn't think it's an appropriate time to turn the device over to someone who would lock it away securely forever. Instead, he just keeps it, like a weapon of mass destruction sitting on your mantle-piece.
And of course it comes back to bite him and almost destroy the whole world again. Because idiotic decisions never go unpunished.
