19 years after what happened at Hogwarts made famous by the books and films, Harry Potter is a 37-year-old father of three children and works in the Law Enforcement Department of the Magic Ministry. The youngest son, Albus, follows in the footsteps of his father, who once won the heroic battle against Lord Voldemort, at Hogwarts Wizard School.
Harry Potter's former past always catches up with him, as his son of all people befriends the son of his former arch-enemy Draco Malfoy. With an exciting twist in the story, Albus steals a time reverser against Harry Potter's will and lets the past merge with the present.
