A dramatic scene from a stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child featuring two actors dressed in long black wizard robes. Actor and Boston University alum Aidan Close (CFA’23), with short blonde hair, stands with an expression of shock, mouth wide open, as white smoke appears to shoot out from both ears. They are holding a striped bag in one hand. The second actor, Emmett Smith, with dark hair, is mid-air, recoiling in surprise with hands raised in front of them. The stage is dimly lit with a dark background, and luggage trunks and carts are positioned on either side of the actors.
