Albus’ Behaviors Portrayed in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.

This research is a qualitative approach and uses behaviorism theory initiated by Pavlov, especially about Classical Conditioning. The researcher found that Albus, as the main character, shows several behaviors in this drama. He behaves nervously because he is worried if he would enter the Slytherin dormitory. Albus also shows friendly behavior, which is based on Albus’ sincerity in making friends with someone. Albus then exhibits an insistent behavior when he strongly desires to help save Cedric Diggory. Albus behaves ignorantly when his schoolmates talk about him being the only Potter family to enter the Slytherin dormitory. Finally, Albus behaves rudely and resentfully when he has a quarrel with Harry as his father, in which Harry is overly imposing his will on Albus.
