Harry Potter found his best friends—Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley—aboard the Hogwarts Express when he was ten. Ever since, the three have been basically inseparable.
Albus Potter finds his BFF aboard the Hogwarts Express, just like his dad did—that's the magic of the Hogwarts Express, we guess. However, Albus' friend, Scorpius, is far from the type of friend Harry wishes his son had. Harry doesn't like his son being buds with the son of his rival…and especially not with a kid who's rumored to be the son of Voldemort.
But Albus and Scorpius show us that you can't really control who you become friends with. They may have chosen to be friends with one another the first day aboard the train, but in a way, their friendship chose them.
