I saw the Toronto showing of the Cursed Child yesterday and Scorbus HAS to be canon. In fact, I went in completely blind. I didn't know what to expect and had no spoilers prior to watching it. However, I was so surprised. First, the actor who played Scorpius, I believe, portrayed him as autistic. I LOVED that! It was such sweet and wonderful representation. I'll try to recap a bit of the Scorbus moments from memory, so it might not be completely accurate. In the beginning, when Harry tells Albus he can't be with Albus anymore, he throws a MASSIVE fit. It was super cute. There was a staircase scene (I think it's called the staircase ballet) where Albus tries to avoid Scorpius on the moving staircases at Hogwarts while Scorpius tries to reach him. They're kept apart as Albus runs away and the staircases keep moving them apart. It was literally the most stereotypical Disney "we want to be together but can't be together scene." It was definitely at this moment I felt something was going on between their relationship. Also, when Snape asks Scorpius who he's fighting for, he says Albus. I also remember that in the end, Albus leans into Scorpius, almost like he wants to kiss him, before Rose interrupts saying something along the lines of it "only being awkward if they make it awkward." The most shocking part has to be at the end when Albus comes out to Harry saying that Scorpius is "the most important person to him and might be the most important person the rest of his life." Harry then says he knows and that he likes Albus. I wish I could remember more, but, to be honest, I never even thought it might be canon. My brother is the Potterhead, and he just really wanted to see the show. I didn't know what to expect at all. I had suspicions in the beginning of the play, but I figured it was just queerbaiting (like always). I chalked it up to just "two bros being close" because I didn't think I would see something like this in mainstream media. But, the conversation Albus had with his dad at the end completely made me rethink everything and realize they were crushing on each other the whole time! I hope others had the same experience at the shows in other cities, because it was a phenomenal show! I would highly recommend it!
