J.K. Rowling confirms 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' is NOT Tom Riddle
J.K. Rowling took to Twitter on Friday to give just the slightest bit of information about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play, noting that the child in question is NOT Tom Riddle, but a name fans will recognize.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will open at the Palace Theatre next summer in London.
Good theory, because I do think Tom was cursed in the way that you suggest, but no, he's not the child. https://t.co/AdX85WIqiX
The Harry Potter author was also on board with the famed Dumbledore-as-Death theory going around (that Dumbledore was Death in The Tale of the Three Brothers while Voldemort, Snape and Harry emulated the three wizards in question).

well this was the original question that JKR responded to in that second quote:
Quote:
@megan_jadeeee:
@jk_rowling @leapxrxz is the cursed child a character we have already met, or a new one completely?
@jk_rowling:
Answering that would give away a huge amount. To quote Chris Cornell: "You know my name."
so apparently its a character we've already met, or at least have been name dropped. that really narrows down the selections doesnt it? #KeepGuessing

Neville Longbottom (because of the birthday thing).
Ron Weasley (because he'll always just be HP's BFF, you know).
Dudley Dursley (because he's NOT magical).
Petunia Weasley (because she was SO a Muggle).
Ariana Dumbledore (because I'm still waiting on the Rita Skeeter Dumbledore biography to be written a-la Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.)
....*thinks up some more angles in case JKR needs help writing*

I thought I had heard something about the Dursleys! That could be why his name came to the forefront of my mind, lol.
OOH NO, NEW THEORY: It's about Draco Malfoy. Everybody loves a good villain-turned-okay-guy.

lol yeah. it would be a nice segway if it was about Petunia, since the play was supposed to focus more on the Muggle world (again iirc). im guessing its someone obscure though? or not that obvious on the first thought, but would fit someone who is cursed or feels cursed.
