The Next Generation: Discover The Legacy of The Golden Trio in Harry Potter

The "next generation" of Harry Potter fan culture, referring to the period after the main series that follows the children of the Harry Potter characters, is often overlooked. This aspect is largely based on fan theories and occasional updates on Pottermore, the official Harry Potter fan website, provided by J.K. Rowling. However, with the release of The Cursed Child, these characters became a more substantial part of the canon, offering fans a wealth of information about them.

Despite this, The Cursed Child does not extensively cover all the children of the main trio of characters from Harry Potter; it primarily focuses on a select few. Consequently, individuals familiar only with the main Potter stories may not be well-acquainted with the children of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as they are briefly mentioned in the epilogue of the final book. Hence, it is crucial to explore the number of kids each character had and the limited information that is known about them.

How Many Kids Did Harry and Ginny Have?

Harry and Ginny's romance is a significant plot point in the novels, and their relationship proves to be successful as they stay together, get married, and have children in the future. The Cursed Child focuses on one of their children, Albus, who is named after Dumbledore due to his close bond with Harry. Albus, who is prominently featured in the epilogue of The Deathly Hallows, expresses his fear of being sorted into Slytherin to Harry. In addition to Albus, the middle child, Harry and Ginny also have two other children named James and Lily, who are named after Harry's parents.

James, the eldest of the three, is sorted into Gryffindor at Hogwarts. His middle name, Sirius, is a tribute to both Harry's father and godfather. Lily, the youngest Potter child, is also sorted into Gryffindor. Her middle name, Luna, pays homage to Luna Lovegood, who was close to Harry and Ginny. While Harry and Ginny have three biological children, they also spend a significant amount of time with Teddy Lupin, the son of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, as Harry is Teddy's godfather. Teddy's parents died during the Battle of Hogwarts, so he is raised by his grandmother and often interacts with the Potters and Weasleys. Teddy is sorted into Hufflepuff and possesses the same Metamorphmagus abilities as his mother. Many Harry Potter fans also recognize Teddy for his relationship with Victoire Weasley, the eldest daughter of Bill and Fleur Weasley.

How Many Kids Did Ron and Hermione Have?

As most fans will remember, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger formed a romantic relationship in the final installment of the series. Following their union, similar to Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione tied the knot and started a family. Contrary to Harry and Ginny, they had two children only. The eldest, Rose, played a significant role in The Cursed Child, sharing a close bond with her cousin Albus, as they were born in the same year. Despite their initial closeness, their relationship gradually deteriorated because Rose disapproved of Albus' friendship with Scorpius Malfoy (unbeknownst to Rose, Scorpius secretly harbored strong feelings for her). The sorting hat placed Rose in Gryffindor. On the other hand, the second child, Hugo, born a few years after Rose, does not have much information available, as he rarely appears in The Cursed Child or Pottermore posts.

Who Are Some of the Other Children of Harry Potter Characters?

Among the children who attended Hogwarts alongside the offspring of the Golden Trio, there are a few notable characters. One of the most prominent is Scorpius Malfoy, who plays a significant role in The Cursed Child. As the son of Draco Malfoy and Astoria, Scorpius is well-known and shares a close friendship with Albus Potter. Another well-recognized figure from the next generation is Victoire Weasley. Her relationship with Teddy gained attention and was even discussed on Pottermore. Apart from Victoire, Bill and Fleur also have two other children named Dominique and Louis. It's interesting to note that all of these children inherit Veela traits from their mother.

George Weasley and Angelina Johnson tied the knot and welcomed two children, Roxanne and Fred, who was named in honor of George's deceased twin from the Battle of Hogwarts. Unfortunately, apart from their names and parentage, not much information is available about them. Luna Lovegood, on the other hand, had twins with her husband Rolf Scamander, who happens to be the grandson of Newt Scamander from the renowned Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. The twins, named Lorcan and Lysander, do not make an appearance in the books, but J.K. Rowling has confirmed their existence. However, little else is known about them.
