Yup. I'm definitely gonna use this version of Ron as a basis from now on if I ever write a fanfiction.

What are you talking about ? He was really bad at quidditch , i agree he was brave though

But Snape won't be knowing about Horcruxes. This is honestly a dumb idea from Snape's perspective. He should know thag the sword is capable of absorbing fires. This is only a plot device in SCB's storyline. But I like it!

@@ambiverter Considering Snape was the one who was keeping the curse from the ring in check, we can assume that he was told the theory of the Horcruxes even if he wasn't given confirmation until later. So it's not that huge a plot hole.

​@@ambiverterwait, how would Snape know that? I don't think even Dumbledore knew about that until Harry used it against the Basilisk.

@@ambivertersnape knew about the horcruxes, why he needed to protect harry and give him the information that he IS a horcrux when its time. and the sword engulfing the fire probably wasn’t known to snape because its quite random and not that useful in most cases

JK did Ron dirty... For some reason she really didnt like that people liked him before the movies (he was even more popular than Hermi), and seems to have made an active effort for making him a bad person after she got some confirmation that a Hermi centered story could work with the movies.

The trio arguing makes sense kinda cause they spend soooo much time together, they even live together most of the year. That makes it easy for arguments to happen when hormones are high.

@@albertonishiyama1980 That was Steve Kloves. He has basically admitted to this in interviews. Blame him

Remember though that the reason the basilisk is so useful is because it is weaker than normal. If it still had it's petrifying gaze, it would be far too dangerous to be of much use.

That’s just called regular Harry Potter

@@ani4301 r/whoosh

they should make a series like that it would probably make a lot of money

No, too one dimensional I prefer this... the original version. ;)

That comment gave me an idea lol. “What is Hermione was in Ravenclaw?”

Yes, I never thought Rowling's writing lived up to her claim that all houses were good and all houses were equal. This does a *much* better job; even includes Ravenclaw via Ron and Luna wedding!

Rowlings writing was through Harry’s point of view so of course his view would be slyterin is evil

@@zbanul10yes but it’s not just Harry who thinks that way. If you look at the characters on page, she describes the Slytherins as dumb ugly evil brutes for the most part. Just about none of the good guys have anything nice to say about any Slytherin. It’s very clear that the author thought there was a good house and an evil house. She very clearly favored Gryffindor. Her houses were basically written as the Nerds, the Lame-os, the Super-Awesome-Cool-Bros, and the Evil guys. She talked about the nuances, mostly after the fact, but never hinted at any during the writing.

@@FairbrookWingates We all know there are four personalities kids have. Smart Friendly Brave And Evil.

Realizes that it was Harry who made the mistake in choosing Gryffindor.

“My dead brother can do better than that!”

I agree and don't agree at the same time, I love the original story however lets pretend this was the real story, I wouldn't be mad about that

Harry + Ginny only seem forced if you are movie fan. Ginny and Harry seem very good match if you only like books like me.

@@joonaslaitinen9520it is far better in the books but I think the romance is made worse by the books being from Harry’s perspective, imo the only reason Ron and hermionie and ginny and Harry get together is that limitation. There’s only so many characters Ron and hermione can spend time with often when Harry is the pov character. It’s convenient that they get together as they are his best friends so they get lots of time together in front of Harry. And ginny is left as a character Harry spends a lot of time with because he’s at the burrow every year, just my opinion tho

Yeah sure letting important characters live just to kill them off later anyways so that Dobby instead of having a beatuiful grave which its location is visited by hundreds of HP fans every day ling dead in the room of requirement killed by Crabbe or Goyle was certainly a great writing decision🙄

Clearly you've only seen the movies if you think that Harry and Ginny's relationship was forced.

Make it fanfic canon pls hahhaha

Unfortunately, there is a particular process to make a basilisk, I don't remember but it was given in the books. Something about a chicken egg and a toad to hatch it. So Basilisks are not natural species, but a magical equivalent of a genetically modified species. I doubt they can lay eggs

​@@ambiverteralso a Basilisk hatchling would end up having the deadly eyes again, so it wouldn't be as safe.

cute idea but that's not how basilisks are born

​@ambiverter I think it's hatch a chicken egg with a toad sitting on it

I know right? If there will ever be a reboot of the films, be it in the form of a TV show or movies, it should follow this script and not the original.

And J is such a good story teller!

Agreed yes

What can I say that hasn’t already been said

Indeed, I wish I lived in the multiverse where this is reality.

I agree. One of the things that felt off about the main story was the continued vilification of Slytherin House. Albus Potter is still scared to be sorted into Slytherin, despite Draco's redemption, Regulus' betrayal of Voldemort, and the fact Pettigrew (a Gryffindor) betrayed James and Lily. Even with Harry knowing its not as simple as "Slytherin=bad, anything else=good", his kids still believe that somewhat. This take redeems Slytherin, which feels so much more satisfying than it remaining as the "evil" house. It analyses the concept of evil a lot more, proving that its your actions that make you evil, not your blood or what house you are sorted into.

@@saskia9720fun fact: after voldemort got defeated, mcgonagall took over as head mistress and they started to rebuild. through the years, slytherin became less and less ‘the evil house’ and everyone was getting along

To me this is how you redeem characters. You show them turning a new leaf, as it were, at the very beginning to middle-ish of the story.

And now to convert the script into an official fanfic... and the circle will be complete.

I thought about the exact same thing - Zuko’s character arc. Especially when in his 6th, he seemed to falter back to the dark ways

If this was the real story, Drako would probably be my favorite character. And I like how natural the romance would be.

I couldn't agree more with u, the coupling is amazing, and the character arc of Draco is maybe as good as the character arc of Zuko.

It get ded tho :c

@@alekz112yeah I felt like crying I love the basilisk

@@xblccdx Also feels like it shouldn't have been possible to kill it with a single killing curse. Giants and Dragons need multiple, so why would the legendary Basilisk be any different?

I think they do end up friends, probably more after the war ended. (I am a smidge disappointed they didn't developp a wee bit more the ending to tie up some loose ends)

I have to disagree. The basilisk is the highlight of this fanfiction.

Except for the fact that agapanthuses basically work as natural snake repellent.

I kinda like Pete more honestly

@@pancakeman592 Eh, It's an AU. Maybe in this version of Wizarding reality his name IS Pete. 🙃

I also assigned Pete to Theodore Nott in my head. I've seen a fan theory that his mom died when he was young, not unlike Luna.

#RepForTheSnake

came looking through comments to make sure Draco didn’t die, and now i’m crying over the basilisk

same here

Draco did attend Hogwarts that year... though perhaps several students felt their education suffered under Snape and the Carrows, and were granted the option of re-doing the year with a more respectable curriculum. Also, contrary to the Carlins' Epilogue, I don't see why Draco should remain armless. Even Muggle amputees get to have prosthetics, and surely Voldemort's Dark-Magic silvery spell wasn't the only magical option available

He can do like moody...@@ugolomb

​@@Yuval.Ronen2010Mad-Arm...Malfoy, it fits

I choose to think that there are plentiful arm-related puns once Draco is formally indoctrinated into the Golden Trio... or is it Golden Quartet now?

JSKSKSKS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD!

I kind of feel like this happened after Draco accepted protection from Dumbledore. When Harry went to comfort Draco and said he understood. I know it’s not the exact same thing but I feel like it got pretty close there.

Pretty much when Harry comforts him before Dumbledore's death, indirectly. Draco has been completely on Harry side ever since, doubt gone when Dumbledore offers his protection + Harry's comfort.

Too bad Draco’s shaking hand got blasted off-

This is honestly a perfect backstory, it’s sad while comical at the exact same time

I love it

this is so sad and so good at the same time, and I am perfectly fine with that.

There is one big change that would happen Snape wouldn't become a double agent which means that Sanpe is just filing information form Dumbledore to Voldemort (I mean he would but for Voldemort).

@@TV-ly3dp I think you're right that Snape would not become a double agent, but I'd go so far as to say he wouldn't even be working for Dumbledore. Remember, the only reason that happened was to protect Lilly. Take that out, Snape would probably just join Lucius in pretending to be under the curse. I don't think he'd be a teacher either. The man clearly had no desire to teach. If anything I could maybe see him being an author? Maybe he writes a couple of Harry's textbooks?

I've listened to Cursed Child on audiobook, so I only remember parts of it. I think the first big change should be that Albus is sorted into Gryffindor (after all, that's what he seemed to have wanted at the end of DH.) But Scorpius is *also* sorted into Gryffindor. If this happened I could see Draco becoming more like the fictional Draco in these stories and supporting his son despite the fact he didn't make it into his house. Lucius probably wouldn't be as accepting though, and I feel like he'd pull a Mrs. Black and cut him from the family tree for this. I don't think Harry and Albus should have a stained relationship. Not to the extent Cursed Child put it at. The fact Harry knew neglect from all his years with the Dursley's, he'd never neglect any of his children. Of course, they'd probably have some issues as Albus became a teenager, as most kids eventually do with their parents. I feel like James and Lily were excluded a lot in the story, even though James and Albus seemed to have a brother relationship similar to Fred, George, and Ron. Plus I feel like the Potter boys would become protective over their only sister. I don't think Rose would be as upright as the story made her out. I could see her being a bit bossy like her mom but also a bit stubborn like her dad. I could still imagine Scorpius having a crush on her. When it comes to the character of Delphini (IDK how to spell it), I think most of us agree that it's weird and unbelievable that Bellatrix would be pregnant with Voldemort's child while the war is raging on. I propose a different theory. Instead of Delphini being their child, she was a baby born to another death eater during the war. Bellatrix, who is good at occlumency and legillimency would plant false memories into the young girls head, making her think that she was the daughter of Bellatrix and Voldemort. The death eater who was the real parent would help raise her to believe this as well, pumping it into her brain and making her believe it was all true. Eventually she would be sent to stay with Amos Diggory, who was a widower and in poor health, needing a caretaker. At some point she uses a confunding charm or a potion to confuse Diggory and make him think they were related. She planned to get back at Harry Potter by changing her appearance to look like a teenager so she could lure in one of his son's.

Watch the Movieflame rewrite of CC, it's much better

@@willowwhisps1339 I think Snape wants to teach, he just doesn't want to be teaching potions (probably trying to bury his "half blood prince" persona).

Ron and Draco’s characters had much better growth in this story. It also balanced out that Slytherin wasn’t all evil.

I can see him being an Auror then Head Auror, then becoming the DADA teacher.

Fate

I guess they were really trying to make sure this didn’t end up being a “fix-it” where it seems all Harry’s problems are solved just because he happened to be sorted into a different house

It feels like JK changed her mind on a lot of things. Honestly, each book is extraordinarily well written individually, but as a series they're... Honestly pretty mid.

What even is a choice.

I'm curious which "hints" there were about Harry and Hermione having romantic feelings about each other. I've never thought there was anything between Harry and Hermione other than friendship. Harry never had any romantic feelings about Hermione, and Hermione never showed any affection to Harry. Prisoner of Azkaban was the first book Harry cared about ANYONE romantically. The first two books literally had *nothing.* From PoA onwards, all Harry cared about romantically was Cho, and then Ginny in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. Every book reader always complains about the Harry and Hermione dancing scene in Deathly Hallows, because there wasn't even an ounce of romantic feelings between the two in the books. I'm honestly baffled why you think there were "hints" about Harry and Hermione being together.

@@musichere3287 For real, those people are just reading too much fanfic . Harry and Hermione has no chemistry in the books, in GOF when he start to spend time with Hermione because his fight with Ron and he was honestly kinda bored by her. Is just because of the movies.

​@guto5285 to be fair, he hardly has any chemistry with Ginny until JK shoves in a random crush in Half-Blood Prince.

He didn't prior to book 5 in the terf's timeline so no reason why he would here.

It's more about accepting and coming to terms with a death that occurred in front of you. He was too small to comprehend his parents death when they happened, and had always accepted their absence. He hadn't "lost" someone before Cedric, technically.

@@ambiverteri think its just because humans dont develop memories until about 3 years old. so him seeing his parents die, even knowing he watched, wont change it because he cant remember it happening. he just knows it did. but obviously theres a difference seeing something and remembering it, and seeing something but just being told it happened and you have no recollection

​@@alekz112she's not a terf but please continue to be wrong

So true

The spell was popularized by Snape among the death eaters. I think that‘s an explanation

It’s less what happens if he sorted into Ravenclaw, and more what would happen if Petunia married a scientist/college professor (who’s a much better person than Vernon). Harry ending up in Ravenclaw was a direct result of that change

@@epicsakura101 of course, but in what other world would harry be sorted to Ravenclaw?

If you liked HPMOR, I suggest the Prince of Slytherin series. It has more changes than just Harry switching house, but most of the original content is really good and the plot just as engaging as in this video, if not more.

Thank you for making me aware of this now I'm off to go read that cuz it sounds very interesting

Since harry used in this verision of the serise parseltongue so many times (like in the start and the end of any the da meetings) he may start to remember the meaning of the words by himself, like ron hearing how harry opened the locket was enough for him to open the chamber, so if harry was using this so many times more wouldnt he just learn to diffrent between words ? Hard to tell

Harry teaching Flying and Draco teaching Defense are *fantastic* ideas!

My usual problem with people who prefer Harmione is that they find that Ron is somehow unworthy. It's clearly not the case here, so Im fine with it...

My understanding was always that Harry saw Hermione like a sister. So even if Ron doesn't develop a crush on her, Harry doing so feels very weird to me. But I guess it is logical 🤓

@@ambiverter I agree 100%. But I like the idea that if he never spent all of his time (like in every class) with Hermione than there's a possibility that he'd see her in a different light. But definitely in the actual canon he does not see her as a love interest at all.
