Talk:Albus Potter

Possible actor?

I live in Ireland and I know a guy called Oisin Nolan who said today that he got the part of Albus Severus Potter and will be playing him Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! - Noctua 14:57, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Citation needed

This is marked with a citation needed tag: "J. K. Rowling has stated that she finds Albus the most 'interesting' of Harry's children, possibly referencing a future Potter-based work." The closest verification I could find on a Google search was this. It's just another fan re-quoting, and it's possible they read it here. I'll keep looking though. —Scott (talk) 15:56, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

It´s from "A Year in Life I think.--Rodolphus 15:59, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! I found it in this section. —Scott (talk) 17:25, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

eyes

If Albus has Harry and Lily's eyes Albus may look like Harry which makes Albus looks likes James since Harry looks like James.--HallieryElizabeth 16:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

He may look like Harry, but that is only because of the eyes. AlastorMoody 05:53, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Godfather

Does anyone know whether J.K revealed who Albus's godparents are? I always thought it was Teddy... Dante91, 16:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

No, she's never revealed who his godparents are. However, I think it's highly unlikely that Teddy would be his godfather, considering that he's only eight years older than Albus. Oread 18:01, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

No offense, but how is that unlikely that Teddy could be his godfather. My friend Donnie is his niece's godfather and he's only 15, and she's 1. However I do agree that J.K. never revealed who Albus' godparents are. Gryff23 20:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

It's unlikely because Teddy was only seven or eight years old when Albus was born. The technical meaning of godparent is that it's the person or people who sponsor a child's baptism (in Christianity; there is a similar role in the bris in Judaism). A teenager can easily do this, but an eight-year-old?

In any case, I don't think it's used in a religious sense in Harry Potter (Harry didn't attend Teddy's baptism, if he had one, and religion isn't really addressed in the series), in which case godparents are the ones responsible for the children in case his or her parents die. I personally — and this is just my opinion — don't think it's likely that someone would give this role to a child, unless it was purely ceremonial. Oread 20:31, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I had heard that his godparent were Ron and Hermione. --Lupin & Kingsley 17:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

R & H are James' godparents. --Cubs Fan2007 ^(Talk) 18:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

J.K. has stated in "A Year in the Life", when she drew out the future of the Weasley family that all of the Potter children's godparents are Ron and Hermione, so whoever can edit this page should add that. Pack Alpha of Europe 02:23, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Blood Status

A witch or wizard with at least one wizarding parent but at least one Muggle parent or grandparent. Is how a half-blood is described on the Hary Potter Lexicon, therefore James, Albus, and Lily do not fit the half-blood requirement. Pure-blood extremists may not acknowledge James, Albus, and Lily as purebloods, but that doesn't matter. They do not fit into half-blood at all, they fit more into purebloods so I will put them there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.210.122.189 (talk • contribs).

This is already being discussed on Talk:James Potter II. Oread ^(talk) 05:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree . I have a Pure-Blood obbsesion . They should be only Muggle-Borns and Pure-Bloods . And if they have unless an Pure-Blood parent they should be Pure-Bloods . If they ar two Muggles-Born , he should be Wizards ( whitout history about blood purity )

Is He Pure Blood Or Half Blood User:Lucy Anne Potter 09:12, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Half-blood. Rowling said that ANY traceable muggle ancestry keeps one from being considered "pure-blood", at least by those who care about the distinctions in the first place. 12.51.4.122 09:41, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

House

Am I right that Albus was in Gryffindors? --Lupin & Kingsley 21:25, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't believe that his House has ever been revealed. In the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, we find out that James is in Gryffindor, and it is implied that Albus will be in Slytherin, but that isn't proof of where he ends up. ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 04:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

How do we know the time when he was born? I haven't heard anything about him being born between August and September. Could someone find out where this came from?

So sorry, I thought it said in 2006 for both dates not two different year. Stupid mistake really sorry.

Slytherin

The article says Albus was later placed in Slytherin and gives a source as the Deathly Hallows epilogue. I know as a fact that this is false, and so I'm removing it until such a time (if ever) when this is given as canon. --Parodist 01:43, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

That was a bit of fanon just added by an unregistered IP address. That's happened a few times before. - Nick O'Demus 03:58, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

I saw on the desciption that Albus was pleased with hearing he could choose his house. He wasn't exactly 'pleased.' I'm changing it to the word used in the Epilogue itself. 'wonder.' There is a difference between the two words. (Arculus Ambleway) December 13 2009

Glasses!

Why doesn't the description say Albus wears glasses? I would add it in, but i can't edit the page! Someone please write that he wears glasses. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.182.157.63 (talk • contribs).

I've wrote this twice, and someone keeps removing it. Please don't take it off. There is evidence to say he wears glasses---J.K.R. says Albus resembles Harry greatly, and Harry's glasses are an important part of his appearence. If Albus didn't wear any, she would have said something about this. Albus does wear glasses, so please do not remove it again. ---User:General Ironbeak

While she hasn't said that he doesn't, she also hasn't said (at least that I know of) that he does. Since it's not mentioned in the DH epilogue, it can't be considered canonical without a reliable source. And I don't believe it's said Albus resembles Harry exactly; since wearing glasses has nothing to do with genetics, Albus could still resemble Harry without them. --Cubs Fan ^{(Talk to me)} 07:46, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

She also hasn't said he has black hair, and yet that is mentioned. And while glasses have nothing to do with genetics, Harry wore them like his dad! So i'm putting it back. ---User:General Ironbeak

What are we thinking?!

I do not like how all biographies are written in past tense, but seriously, we're talking about something that will happen in 2017!!! We can't possibly do this here! ---User:General Ironbeak

Like it or not, it's still an in-universe topic. I've gotten used to it through my contributions at the 24 Wiki, in which all IU articles are written in past, and all OOU topics use all three, where necessary. --Cubs Fan ^{(Talk to me)} 07:48, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

There's a lot of fiction that takes place in the future, this is one of them, it's just unsettling since the main story took place in present tense and only the afterward fast forwarded. If you write a bio about say, 'The Dark Knight Returns' or 'Spiderman 2098' then it all has to be past because it already happened in publication even if the story hasn't in our timeline. The thing is... in terms of reality nothing has happened or ever will, since it's fictional, so we base the tense on when it was printed, which is always past. Ty 08:23, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting

With Harry's 2 sons, he does the first names after the primary male influences in his life (James, father, Albus, first real surrogate he meets) and both of them end in an 's'. The middle names both start with 's' and are people he initially thought of as enemies who murdered the former but were actually their closest friends. I can't help but wonder if Rowling had this in mind when she named Jamesirius and Albuseverus? Like especially with Sirius and Severus, that is just so similar. Basically make 'x' the vowel, X and interjecting consonant their names are SxXx + us the only exception being Snape's got the extra 'r' wihich is in the middle of Sirius anyway. All the names end in S... Ty 03:21, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

What If?

So I read on JKR's official website that maybe in 10 ten years, she might start writing some more Harry Potter books. I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool if it followed Albus, and he was in Slytherin?!--Bella Goth 17:53, July 26, 2010 (UTC)Bella Goth

I'm writing a fan fiction that fallows after the epilugue starting right when James a Albus are looking for seats on the train after saying goodbye to their parents. You guys should check it out. Kgestes112098 04:25, April 29, 2011 (UTC)Kgestes112098

I Think There's Something Wrong With The Article!!!!!!!!

I noticed when I was reading the article about Albus Potter something small was wrong. I can't change it and it really bugs me. If one of you can change it for me or explain how I am wrong, I would appreciate it.

The article says:

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 teased his cousin Rose about getting disinherited if she wasn't sorted into Gryffindor house, as did his aunt Hermione.

I pretty sure that last part is wrong. Hermione didn't tease them about not being in Gryffindor. If it is supposed to mean something else than I am interpreting, please change it so it is more clear to the readers. Thank You!!!!!

I'm fairly certain, they meant that she was kindly about which house, b/c she scolded Ron for teasing, but the grammar was poor. --JKoch^{(Owl Me!)} 00:25, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Pictures

I've seen pictures and video's that have been updated on google and The real James is actually funny in real life too. haha. anyways they got really good actors to be the kids of harry and ron and ginny (ect), all the kids look so much like their parents. They totally aged Malfoy too much, he looks 60 something lol. oh and for those of you up there that say that Albus wears glasses, you're all wrong because in the picture he wears no glasses and in the video's too

What do pictures about the movie matter? Harry has brown hair in the movies, should we change his hair colour on his wiki page to brown? He has blue eyes in the movies, should we also change his eye colour?

Ron has green eyes in the movies but blue eyes in the books; does that mean we should change the information on the wiki page, that goes by canon information or else movie information if not contradicted by book canon, to him having green eyes?

Whether Albus wears glasses in the books or does not wear glasses is irrelevent; it has never been mentioned in the books.... As such, we can change the information on his page to him not wearing glasses, since it does not contradict any book canon. AlastorMoody 06:04, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

just a random question...but...

I've been thinking that Al could be a Ravenclaw, but he could also be a Slytherin. Which do people think? Ravenclaw or Slytherin?

He Should Be In Gryffndor He Looks Like A Gryffndor And Hes So Cute I Just Love Him But Between Ravenclaw and Slytherin I Choose Slytherin

M.K. Longbow 13:17, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

RAVENCLAW OR SLYTHERIN?

Slytherin but i still want gryffindor

112.203.118.16 12:55, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

I hope he will be in Slytherin. Party because he has such a fear of being in Slytherin, and it would be interesting to see how he reacts to being put in there. Also, like his page says, his initials are the same as a certain kind of snake, asp, which could be some sort of foreshadowing as to what house he will be in. AlastorMoody 04:35, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hufflepuff?

How about Hufflepuff? It'd be nice for two reasons: 1) It's never described entirely, the House, and 2) it'd be nice to go along with Jo adding a chapter describing the Hufflepuff common room in full to Pottermore for anyone sorted into the House —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.242.34.37 (talk • contribs).

Year

The date Albus and James potter went to hogwarts would have been 2028 not 2017 because it's seventeen years on from 2011. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.174.47.216 (talk • contribs).

2017 is correct, one starts attending Hogwarts at 11 years of age so if he was born in 2006 then he'd start at Hogwarts in 2017. Also, please always sign talk page entries using 4 tildes (~). -Shorty1982 20:10, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

The seventh book does not take place in 2011, it takes place in 1998 (see the dates on James and Lily's tombstones for clarification). Therefore, 19 years after 1998 would be 2017. ChrisDen 22:18, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
