Summary
Analysis
St. Oswald’s Home for Old Witches and Wizards is a chaotically magical place, with knitting wool enchanted into fantastical shapes and walkers conjured into life. Albus and Scorpius enter in wonder, asking after Amos Diggory. Delphi appears, pleased that Albus has come. She shows them into another room to see Amos.
The fact that Delphi is so pleased to see Albus and Scorpius at St. Oswald’s suggests that she, too, values their burgeoning friendship to help her mitigate Amos’s pain regarding the past and Cedric’s death.
