Okay but why would Harry Potter name his son Albus Severus?

Harry Potter had James Sirius, Lily Luna, and Albus Severus with Ginny Weasley and honestly, I still have a lot of questions as to why he chose the names he did.

When it comes to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the naming of Harry’s kids sticks out. Sure, we knew what he decided (because where is any of Ginny in the naming of their three children) at the end of Deathly Hallows but Harry Potter looked at his children and said “You’re going to be a mix of wonderful people in my life, two men who really hurt me as a child, and then my friend Luna” didn’t he?

It’s really simple: Albus Severus makes no sense but before you get mad, think about it. Albus Dumbledore left Harry as a child to try and figure out how to defeat Voldemort and then Severus Snape was only ever there for Harry because he was in love with Lily Potter and was also verbally abusive.

But then Harry said, you know what, let me honor them? It just doesn’t make sense to me because it’s not like either of these men showed interest in him outside of his mission or his parents. If Harry James Potter did not have James Potter’s name or if his mother wasn’t Lily Evans, neither Albus Dumbledore nor Severus Snape would have cared about him and thinking about how Harry then turned around and named his son for them? Honestly one of the most baffling parts of the entire series.

Next. Why are the Marauders so much older in the movies than in the books?. dark

So…why did Harry Potter name his kids like he did? Who knows but it is something that is definitely going to way on me. Do you get it? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
