Albus has an especially close relationship with his parents. When he felt insecure about attending Hogwarts for the first time and worried he would be in [[Slytherin]], his father comforted him, and his mother did likewise when his uncle [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] jokingly threatened to disinherit his cousin Rose if she wasn't sorted into [[Gryffindor]] house.

Albus' older brother seems to enjoy teasing him. Though the boys are close in age, James has a more outgoing personality, while Albus is quiet, and seems to be more like his younger sister. All three siblings share the opinion that [[Ted Lupin|Teddy Lupin]], Harry's godson, would make a great addition to the family if he eventually married [[Victoire Weasley]]. James is willing to move into Albus's room if Teddy moves in; Harry, however, thinks such an act would be a disaster, saying that James and Albus "will share a room only when I want the house demolished." This might imply that James and Albus frequently argue with one another--more than what we see at King's Cross in 2017, anyway.[[File:Szzvz.png|thumb|left|232px|Albus and his father]]

"Albus Severus Potter, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was the bravest man I ever knew."
— Harry Potter to his son on his fears of being sorted into Slytherin[src]

Albus Severus "Al" Potter (b. between 1 September, 2005 and 31 August, 2006) was a half-blood wizard and the second son of Harry and Ginny Potter (née Weasley). Albus is the middle of three children, born at least a year after his older brother, James, and two years before his younger sister Lily. He was named in memory of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape.

Biography

Albus-DH

Albus in 2017 ready to go to Hogwarts

On 1 September, 2017, Albus left for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with his brother, his cousin, Rose Weasley, as well as Scorpius Malfoy. His older brother, James, had been at Hogwarts for at least a year already. Before boarding the Hogwarts Express, Albus confided to his father that he feared he might be Sorted into Slytherin. In response, his father told him that the bravest man he ever knew — Severus Snape, whom Albus was named after — had been a Slytherin. Harry also told Albus that if he preferred Gryffindor, then the Sorting Hat would take this choice into account, as it did for him.

Physical Appearance

Albus looks much like his father, with untidy black hair, a thin face, and short stature. Albus is the only Potter child to inherit his paternal grandmother's green eyes.


Personality

Albus is a quiet, kind and thoughtful young boy, unlike his loud older brother. He seems to have inherited some of his father's personality, including his irrational and childish fear of being sorted into Slytherin house. It seems that Albus has the closest relationship with his father out of his siblings. He seems to have an interest in his Harry's fame and past, as it seems that he inherited  the paternal line of curiosity.

Relationships

 

Parents

Albus with his parents.

Albus has an especially close relationship with his parents. When he felt insecure about attending Hogwarts for the first time and worried he would be in Slytherin, his father comforted him, and his mother did likewise when his uncle Ron jokingly threatened to disinherit his cousin Rose if she wasn't sorted into Gryffindor house.

It is seen that Albus likes to stay next to his father, and looks at his father for advice and comfort, as when saying goodbye to his father he is seen to be holding his father "extremely tight."

Siblings

Ginny: "James, give it a rest!"
— Albus and his brother arguing in the car on the way to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters

Albus' older brother seems to enjoy teasing him. Though the boys are close in age, James has a more outgoing personality, while Albus is quiet, and seems to be more like his younger sister. All three siblings share the opinion that Teddy Lupin, Harry's godson, would make a great addition to the family if he eventually married Victoire Weasley. James is willing to move into Albus's room if Teddy moves in; Harry, however, thinks such an act would be a disaster, saying that James and Albus "will share a room only when I want the house demolished." This might imply that James and Albus frequently argue with one another--more than what we see at King's Cross in 2017, anyway.

Albus and his dad Harry

Albus and his cousin, Rose, are close in age and in the same year at Hogwarts. Just like Lily and Hugo, they seem to be quite close, and shared worry over where they would be Sorted.

The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University.
