Harry is a natural teacher and should have followed that career path. (I'm re-listening to Order of the Phoenix) Harry began creating lesson plans in his head immediately after Hermione asks him about teaching them defense. That's exactly what natural teachers do: figure out what people need to know and design a path to get them there. What a missed opportunity.

[@macattackk]

my head canon is that after being head of the auror office, and maybe after his kids have grown older and left home, harry went back to Hogwarts in his later years as DADA teacher

[@laytonpro8655]

Totally agree and the fact Voldemort cursed the position when he was rejected, I feel like it would be fitting for Harry to take the position after Voldemort dies and the curse is lifted

[@JoshLecker]

I feel he would have wanted to first clean up the remaining death eaters and other dark magic that would still be lingering around over teaching. So for him to still be an Auror at 36 is not really surprising to me. That is not to say that he can't jump to teaching later on in life either...

In my headcanon, Harry is just waiting. Getting real experience fighting more typical dark wizards (most dark wizards are not like Voldemort). Waiting for his kids to graduate so there’s no chance of “dad you’re embarrassing me in front of my friends (who are also your students)” And also no chance of being accused of favoritism for his kids in his classroom. Once little Lily Luna Potter graduates from Hogwarts, Harry will retire from being an Auror in order to become the DADA teacher at Hogwarts. That’s my headcanon.

[@rythemchaudhari5717]

Why can't Harry be an Auror and then a professor? Look, that way you would have the best of both worlds. That's what the plan was supposed to be with Moody, a former Auror. Harry could be an Auror until the age of 65 or so. And this way you would have a much more experienced and wise Harry who then decides to lead a quieter life as a teacher until he retires

Harry being an Auror to get some real-world experience before becoming a professor is a worthwhile idea. There's teaching how to cast a spell, there's teaching how to duel, and there's teaching how to maintain your composure and remember your magic fundamentals while in a chaotic fight for your life. Harry can do the first two, but I think he'd want some professional experience before trying the third. His handful of battles with the Death Eaters and his experiences with Voldemort are all fine and good, but the context is a bit narrow.

[@AustynSN]

I thoroughly disagree on your theory on who Neville and Luna should have ended up with (each other) vs who they did end up with (Hannah Abbot and Rolf Scamander respectivel). I think it feels more realistic that some of them ended up with somebody we (the readers) didn't really know. Hogwarts wasn't the end of their lives and things happened to them after they left. Additionally, it's presumptuous of us to assume that whatever we knew about the characters is all there was to them. Hannah and Neville might have been good friends throughout the series and we didn't know because we only saw either of them through their importance to Harry's story. And Rolf and Luna make perfect sense given they both are in the same career field as adults.

Every consequence of killing that the books talk about would have been upon him: does he really deserve that? Who marries who isn't that important to me but I don't understand why every single character HAS to marry. People in the real world can also make the choice of not doing that at all. About Umbridge: why should she have the easy way out? It's good that she can spend her life thinking about her awful behavior

To be fair, When Voldemort applied for DaDA he was told he was too young and to come back in a few years. Harry likely wouldn't have been able to become a professor right away. Also there's still the possibility he could become the DaDA professor later on, after having been an Auror, which if anything would likely make him an even better teacher with even more experience. I can see Harry not staying an Auror forever and eventually becoming a professor still.

[@KiaStout]

Wasn't Snape hired as a really young man though.

[@DreadKyller]

@@KiaStout Snape was 21 years old when hired, yes, but that's still not right out of school (in the wizarding world that's around age 17, possibly 18 depending on birthday. Snape had recently entered into Dumbledore's service as a spy, and Horace Slughorn had recently quit the post about 2 months into school term, so Dumbledore was likely looking to fill rather quickly. Unfortunately we have a few bits of conflicting information in canon surrounding these events: 1) Snape tells Bellatrix he was at Hogwarts when Voldemort fell because Voldemort had asked Snape to spy on Dumbledore (obviously not knowing he was a double agent by this time) 2) Snape became potions professor after Slughorn resigned, and Slughorn resigned shortly after Voldemort fell. (After Voldemort fell Slughorn felt relief as the belief that Voldemort had died made him sure he hadn't created any Horcruxes and thus he was not to blame, and in his relief he let slip subtle bits of info that tipped Dumbledore off that Slughorn may know something, and that's when Dumbledore started trying to question Slughorn, which led to Slughorn resigning). One piece of info says he was a teacher when Voldemort fell, and the other suggests he wasn't a teacher until just after. Either way it was about age 21, in 1981, when Snape started teaching. This means Harry could likely teach as early as 21 as well, but that's 3 or so years of nothing in the interim. Witches and Wizards have an average expected lifespan of around 137 years according to most sources, though some estimate longer, even if Harry had waited until his late 40's to start teaching it'd still be quite young. I just think that it makes sense that Harry would eventually become a teacher, but the idea of him spending 20 or so years as an Auror first doesn't mean he still couldn't become one, and that he'd be better for it with far more real-world experience. As much experience as he had with Voldemort, he had rather special circumstances that made it easier for him. Harry was definately good at defense against the dark arts, but if not for Voldemort wanting to be the one to kill Harry, harry would have died many times earlier in the series, but no one would try killing him in earnest because Voldemort would punish them for doing so. Meanwhile Voldemort basically couldn't harm Harry for a number of reasons. These circumstances don't translate well to fighting other dark Witches and Wizards, that kind of knowledge and experience he would learn through years as an Auror, putting him in good position to teach DaDA, even more than he was already.

Perhaps he could be both? A teacher who's an auror during summer and can be summoned for extremely important missions? Also,Hogwarts should teach dark arts in a safe way. Obviously, not unforgivable curses but weaker "dark" spells that could have use. The idea would be to demystify the dark arts and give them experience seeing dark magic so they can do better in DADA.

I totally agree. Neville should have beeen the one to battle/kill Bellatrix. It would bring his story to a full circle, kind of like Harry's. Molly could have had her moment with any known/famous Death Eater and it would have had the same inpact. If it was one of the Carrow's she could have had an even bigger moment since they were basically torturing her daughter for months and holding all the students hostage to ensure their parents compliance. Or it could have been one of the Lestrange brothers or Dolohov, Rookwood?

[@rennakahara7851]

I personally would have loved if Neville fought Bellatrix and Molly defeated Fenrir Greyback instead. Sort of a revenge for what happened to Bill. That would have been much more fitting in my opinion.

[@quaggaokapibara3507]

I would have loved to see Augusta Longbottom kill Bellatrix in my opinion. Still just as poetic while I’m a way also still keeping the scene of a mothers/grandmothers love.

[@PhoutianPhill]

Molly gets her line against Bellatrix, but when she is stunned, Neville comes from behined and slices her in half with the sword of griffondor.

I just noticed j has has a mustache in the intro

thanks for noticing ;)

Amazing videos as ALWAYS

[@nondominis4359]

The umbrage “ending” gave me a solid belly laugh! Thank you!

[@iimax_9135]

Kahoot quiz?

[@SA12String]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Barty Crouch Jr./faux Mad-Eye Moody was an awesome DADA professor, but he was just so freaking cruel. That Voldemort laugh at the end was perfect.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Here's my version of the ending: Harry genuinely dies in the Forest, although he still has the afterlife conversation with Dumbledore (the love-crux thing just isn't a plot point in this version). The Death Eaters bring him to the school, Neville has his big moment and he is the one who ultimately becomes master of the Elder Wand by killing Nagini, therefore beating part of Voldemort's soul. The wand backfires, Neville is the hero of the Wizarding World, preferably grows up to marry Luna, and we learn that he and Harry were two halves of the same Chosen One. Any thoughts?

[@miyannapittman5580]

I'm seeing Frozen II parallels if Elsa had stayed dead lol

[@nilenas44]

I like it but I’d like if that was very subtly foreshadowed in Half Blood Prince(Harry and Neville having an equal role contributing Voldemort’s end)

[@crowbar_the_rogue]

It would be interesting to have Harry die, but I'd have both Harry and Voldemort die and Neville is left to kill the snake and lead the charge against the Death Eaters.

[@badshahmallick6214]

If that happened then we would be commenting what if Harry was the one who defeated Tommy

[@dominiquegirard8599]

You re mustache is wild😮

[@keeperofthevoidful]

Maybe he couldn't take the DADA job because the curse worked on him in his 5 year?

[@xarenanotmyrealname4134]

⚠️Off topic from video, day eighteen of asking for what ifs⚠️ 1: What if Dudley went to Hogwarts? I think he'd be a Hufflepuff and be pretty good at defense against the dark arts and I think it would be fun to have him be good at divination cause none of the golden trio are good at or even seem to respect it. 2: What if Aang died with the other Air nomads and one of the other main characters eventually became the Avatar? I think the most interesting would be Sokka and Zuko. 3: What if Prim became the Mockingjay? The only way I see this happening is if Katniss gets caught hunting and either gets killed or sent to the Capital and becomes an avox, a year or two before Prims game so she gets some survival skills not as good as Katniss but better than nothing. 4: So this one is kinda out there maybe it would be fun to do as a April fools thing or something I don't know but here we go... What if you guys made a Harry Potter crossover? Only crossovers with stuff that could feasibly exist in the Harry Potter world, the first ones that pop into my mind is Percy Jackson, Buffy the vampire slayer, BBC's Merlin maybe Supernatural the last one I'm less sure but you get the point like I said this last suggestion is very out there and I don't expect it to go anywhere. 5: There's a lot of fanfic out there where Harry is raised by someone who are not the Dursley's I definitely think you guys should do a full what if for that concept I find the most interesting being Harry is raised by Snape. 6: Here's a what if that could potentially keep Yue alive but also have her more involved in the story and I think be a pretty interesting story to follow, what before Zuko got banished the fire lord and Yue's father had arranged marriage planned for the two? The water tribe agrees out of a desperation to not get attacked the fire nation is doing it to have control over the water tribe the idea is that the two are essentially already married but haven't had the ceremony yet but this means when Zuko gets banished Yue gets banished with him she can't even go to her tribe cause the fire nation could use it as an excuse to attack.

[@DeepakKumar-fi4os]

2: A popular belief is that Princess Yue would have become the avatar.

[@dantemoose420]

There's no reason Potter couldnt go on to teach DADA when he's older, and has a lifetimes experience from his career as an Auror.. why ya'll gotta try and shoehorn him directly into a cursed position, jeez?

[@mishterbean5292]

at the death of dumbledore, his full body bind on harry ends when dumby passes(expressly stated as "it wouldnt have ended unless the caster passed" more or less) so the DADA curse wouldnt exist once Voldy was killed (my theory, not for sure fact)

[@crawdaddy1234]

The curse was confirmed to have been broken when Voldy died.

[@Blake-ij4kw]

I think the DADA position curse died with Voldemort (I'm not sure if that's stated fully in canon but this makes the most sense to me)

[@beautyandthebeast6]

I just wanted to tell you that your moustache is scrumptiously bombastic

[@mattbabineau197]

One of the things I actually think the movies did better was that they had the fiendfyre not actually destroy the diadem, and it took them stabbing it with a basilisk fang to kill it. Like… this whole time there was just a spell they could have cast to destroy horcruxes?? But “it’s too dangerous,” right, because they’ve never taken risks before. 🙄

[@endoftheline8061]

Given how the fiendfyre behaved, I think they simply got lucky that escaping the Room of Requirement saved them. Mighta gotten killed if they just tried to cast it at the locket, you know?

[@mattbabineau197]

@@endoftheline8061 sure, but Hermione clearly knew about it, so wasn’t it even at least worth having a conversation, even if they ultimately decide it’s not worth the risk? I know it’s silly but it bugs me. 😂

[@cherryb893]

A plot hole you could drive a double decker bus through. Unfortunately it's far from the only one. I wonder where JKR's beta readers and editors were?

[@TiMoThY211991]

It was also weird that it had never even been mentioned before that moment, and it just so happened to be the one spell destructive enough to destroy the horcrux!

[@georgeharris6851]

Harry is thinking of his kids. He's waiting for his kids to graduate from Hogwarts before becoming the DADA Professor. Neville as Headnaster & Harry as DADA Professor, but 30 years after the Battle of Hogwarts.

[@wolfzend5964]

Honestly, Neville should've been the DADA teacher. Not only was he affected by the Dark Arts when Belatrix, Barty Crouch Jr., and two others tortured his family to insanity, he was also one of the Order of the Phoenix under Harry's term. Not only was he a bit of a blunder at times, but he was rather unlucky throughout his time in Hogwarts, but also was one of the students that protected the younger students. So, him being the DADA teacher would make sense. He supports his friends/ students, encourages them in their dificulties, and has a reason to stand up against the Dark Arts and pass on his experiences to the next generations.

[@sosukestewart]

becoming an auror and getting more field experience then eventually retiring to become a teacher would be a great career path for harry

[@Necromancer4267]

The only reason Harry wants to be an Auror is because the world building is so laughably bad that there's literally only 5 careers Wizards have ever been known to have.

[@NoName-mi8js]

Auror, professor, shopkeeper, ministry worker. What's the fifth?

[@Necromancer4267]

@@NoName-mi8js My list was Teacher, Shop-keeper, "Government," Animal Caretaker, and Cop. And you could lump Cop and "Government" into one and probably lump Animal Caretaker and Teacher into one too.

[@christinapolander4025]

I think the idea of Harry starting as an auroror because he knows nothing else he can do. Then, as he was pushed into Dumbledore's army by his friends, his friend mention how he can teach as Harry starts getting tired/disillusioned by his job. Then he has more defensive against the dark arts background to pull into his teaching

[@FatMenace]

In goblet, mad eye was really Barty jr. at the dance he looked through Harry’s robe and saw his special socks and commented on them. Does that mean a relatively young barty jr was using his eye to look under all the girls’ clothes while he was there? Why would he not?

[@Thairon-real]

A disturbing possibility. And let's not forget, Barry Crouch Jr was nuts.

[@Enverz001]

Harry/Hermione Ron/Luna Neville/Ginny It’s all in the books! ⚡️ Also felt off to me how Neville and Luna married a much less developed characters.

[@Enverz001]

Lots of great points in this video! But… Harry should’ve been a professional Quidditch player. It’s been written since the very beginning how exceptional his talent is, how much joy he feels from flying and everything related to Quidditch, even Quidditch books and brooms servicing kit that Hermione gifts him. He says himself at the ending that “I’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime”, so the Auror path doesn’t seem right to me, completely agree about that. Harry totally deserves to have fun and enjoy life and live for himself. Charlie was great at Quidditch but loved dragons more. But for Harry there really isn’t anything he loves more than flying so this choice is the pretty obvious one for me :)

[@carolynbrubaker1619]

I've always thought Harry was an auror for awhile and then became a teacher. Also I remember when Deathly Hallows came out too. I had just had knee surgery and couldn't get off the couch and couldn't sleep because of the pain.I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours. When I finished it I remember realizing that it didn't matter whether Voldemort picked Harry or NEville, it would have ended the same way. Head explodes! But I had to wait for several days for someone else to finish it so we could discuss. Only nobody else saw it that way until you guys came out with "What if Neville had been the chosen one?". Oh and by the way I always assumed the dementors got Umbridge when Harry stole back the locket. I mean they left her unconscious with the dementors gliding toward her.

It also would've been nice to have some systemic change in harry potter (Ending slavery, the two tiered legal system, the obvious racism with purebloods at the top etc), not just "the bad guy is dead so everything is fine.

I always like to imagine Harry studying under and learning about wand making from Olivander.
