Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Part 2, Act 4, Scene 7 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Ron, Hermione, Draco, Harry, and Ginny walk through present-day Godric’s Hollow. Hermione looks over to Harry, asking if he remembers the last time they were there together. Ron then insults Draco, saying he’s unwelcome because of the things he said about Hermione, but Hermione assures Ron that they’re all on the same team, and Ron relents. Draco takes out the Time-Turner, and time warps around them.
Hermione’s reference to the last time they were in Godric’s Hollow together, when they were 17, recalls another instance in which Harry relied heavily on Hermione for her support as he grieved his parents’ deaths, further connecting these two visits and the importance of friendship. Now Draco has joined that group of friends, both on the merits of his actions and because the others have started to focus on the present rather than the past.
