Disappointment Quotes in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)

Quote #4

ALBUS/RON: Still better than my dad. I'm pretty sure he spends most of his time thinking: How can I give him back? (1.19.15)

This line isn't as layered as Scorpius' quote above, but neither Albus nor Ron (no offense, Weasley) are very deep thinkers.

Quote #5

AUNT PETUNIA: I supposed it's only ourselves we've got to blame that you've turned out… such a limp disappointment. (2.1.4)

Harry basically parents Albus the way Aunt Petunia parented him, except at least she was blunt, honest, and upfront about her hatred for young Harry.

Quote #6

ALBUS: Hogwarts isn't actually that pleasant a place when you don't fit in. (2.8.49)

Harry, who at forty must look like John Lennon with his (rose-colored) glasses, refuses to acknowledge the stress Albus is going through because he doesn't fit in. For Albus, Hogwarts is a disappointment.
