What If Neville Was The Chosen One - FULL STORY | Harry Potter Film Theory

The best part is that Sirius would encourage him.

[@darthkrevan710]

They have a what if story around that I think

[@olirothers]

Can we please appreciate what Sirius Black has gone through in this version events. So, his best friend and his wife were tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange, his best friend was killed and Lily was driven to agonising insanity, which is worse than death, and Sirius had to raise Harry and take him to visit her which must have been worse than grieving her death. All of this was caused by his other friend, Pettigrew. And then, after raising Harry for 10 years and being undoubtedly closer to him than he was in the main story, he dies too, aged 11. I honestly think Sirius, given the choice, would have happily crashed in Azkaban for 12 years and allowed the entire world to think he was a murderer if it saved Lily a lifetime of suffering and saved Harry's life in the long term, even if it meant he'd have had to endure the Dursleys and Voldemort for 16 years first. Sirius must be overcome with grief at his failure to protect his best friend's son which he will undoubtedly blame himself for because he's Sirius.

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

Yes! Too true. Excellent analysis and such a good take. In true Sirius fashion, he would probably take 12 years in Azkaban to this.

[@ugolomb]

One thing I miss here is an explanation of how, and for what crime, Barty Crouch Junior was caught. In the main story, he helped torture the Longbottoms after Voldemort's downfall; but if Voldemort didn't fall, I would assume he'd actually see the value of keeping Crouch Junior's Death Eater position a secret: as the son of Crouch Senior, he'd actually be much more valuable as a spy within the Ministry than in any activity that would jeopardize his position as heir-to-the-future-Minister. However, if Junior was never sent to torture the Potters (the equivalent of his crime in the main story), and was never exposed as a Death Eater -- why did Fudge become Minister at all? He wasn't the obvious pick for that post; Crouch Senior was. And with no scandals attached to his name, he *would* have become Minister, and (as long as he didn't suspect his son) would support and encourage his son's career within the Ministry. I was actually disappointed that we didn't get to see Crouch Senior as a wizened, suspicious Minister for Magic, looking for signs of Voldemort's return, while his own son, rising to a senior position within the Ministry, was covertly spying for Voldemort the whole time... Maybe do a separate what-if scenario on that?

[@ugolomb]

Fun option for such a scenario: at some point, Crouch Junior becomes DADA teacher under his true name -- *not* by impersonating Mad-Eye (the latter, for his part, remains an active auror much longer than he did in the main story: he would have done much better under the ever-suspicious Crouch than under the everything's-OK-nothing-dark-here Fudge. Maybe he even becomes Head of the Auror Office!)

[@simplythatguy-o6n]

I mean this might still come back as the stor isnt over yet. also just because he was the obvious choice doesnt mean that he was a shoe in.

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

Such a good point and an interesting What If.

[@filipemrbean2]

Crouch (Senior) is secretly replaced already for YEARS... because Crouch (Junior) its impersonating him with polyjuice! All to be in a good position in the ministry of magic for his dark master use! Yes Junior would also faked his mother's death by some random disease too or she is on imperius, but i would not be surprised if he did such thing, so fanatical he was.

[@leventebardossy5962]

I think, since Fudge IS Minister, Barty Crouch Jr was still somehow apprehended as a Death Eater. Maybe caught in a lost battle before Voldemort's disappearance.

I know it's way out their but it could be interesting. • What If Snape was in Gryffindor. Would the Marauders still bully him, would Snape and Lilly get together, etc. So much potential with this one. • What If Draco was sorted into Gryffindor. This could easily be a 7 part series.

Didn't Harry get the twin wand because there was a part of Voldemort's soul in him? If Neville wasn't attacked as a baby, that wouldn't have happened, so why would he get that wand? I do think he'd get the same owl though, if Hagrid is taking him to Diagon Alley. But why would Harry get a toad? Edit: Having watched the whole story now: I think it would have been better if Neville got a regular wand his first year, broke it during the Chamber of Secrets fiasco, and then got the twin wand the summer before his second year.

I'm also curious if Neville still became a Horcrux in this version, since there would be major troubles later on if he didn't.

1:17:08 "WELL DONE, BIRD" -Harry, If he was raised by Sirius

[@J8922-o4v]

I may be one odd out, but all I can think about is Harry, Sirius and Snape meeting each other from time to time at St Mungu's. Snape would defenently visit her and feeling guilty of what happened to her. That would also explain the interesting dynamic between Snape and Harry at school. I would love to write a chapter of one of the interactions in the past at St Mungu's, perhaps in different memories chared by Sirius and/or Snape. They would be funny, sad but still memories that can show how Harry was. I would personally think that Snape would atleast tolerate Sirius and Harry around Lily - even if she may not be able to understand what's happening around her. He would care that much. (Sorry if my grammar is wacky - not my first language)

[@smarthur476]

What do you mean Snape would tolerate Harry and Sirius? Harry is her literal son and Sirius is one of her closest friends and Godfather of said son. They definitely are more important to her than Some boy she was friends with as a kid (And was a death eater, on the side of those who actually did that to her). The question is rather, would Harry and Sirius tolerate Snape around Lily

[@J8922-o4v]

You're right. I didn't mean to affend anyone. In this version, my thinking, I really wanted to have Snape not be the villan. People can do bad things, but they can also change - if they really want to. Maybe there will always be tension but if both side was just okay with eachother, specially with a person all three care about. This is a version I would like. No one needs too agree.

[@JustFlemishMe]

Perfect time to remind you guys of a 'What if' scenario inspired by this one: What if Voldemort knew the whole prophecy? He should know now the prophecy literally means nothing unless he marks someone as his equal. In this version, where he decides Neville is the one, he still wants to actively hunt down and personally kill the Choose One, hence disappearing for a long time, but what if he couldn't just kill the Chosen One, he could prevent him? Some thoughts I had that might work in this scenario: Crouch is in power, Scrimgour rapidly rising to be his second in command. This means government reprisals against Death Eaters are heavy-handed and often brutal, but also competent and effective. Fudge meanwhile would be waiting in the wings for a quieter time, understanding he isn't the right guy for the job at this point. However, he might handle Ministry PR, perhaps even suggesting loudly proclaiming arrests and, if the arrested people are innocent, freeing them quietly, to not take up prison capacity without taking away from the reassuring thought the government is on the case and working hard. (If Fudge is good at anything, it's PR.) Alastor Moody may be dead, given he had already been injured several times and presumably slowed somewhat. Though you can make an argument for his experience and skill seeing him through. However, Voldemort would have his own problems. Over a decade of war, the government, even in HP, would get its act together, countering the Death Eaters more and more effectively, probably openly allying with the Order of the Phoenix. The Ministry and the Order would be better able to recruit new soldiers than Voldemort. A war of attrition between the terrorist group and the government tends to favour the latter. However, Voldemort's personal prowess would be terrible and still gain him enough servants, willing and unwilling, to keep in the fight.

Nice "what If" but... Few problems. 1 - The Phoenix Wand only chooses Harry becaus he's been marked. It recognizes the mark of it's sister. Therefore, in this case it would not choose Neville, at least not before he tried to buy a new one after being attacked. 2 - Sirius would NEVER give Harry a Toad. We'd have an awesome black owl called Jagger. Yeah, the dude was rock and roll, remember? Cool AF not about to give he's best friend's son a toad called Edwiges (which is a muggle saint's name) 3 - Neville would have heard about Hogwarts, both his parents attended and he would surelly be excited about going.

[@morrigankasa570]

I was fine with this alternate timeline thing, UNTIL YOU HAD HARRY DIE!!!!! What would be far better is that Snape had been watching Quirrel still and managed to follow the 3 of them into the Chamber. Also in the intervening 10 years he had experimented with Potions to try and cure Lily, in the process he had stumbled into a unique Potion that can if given within 24 hours can bring back those hit with Avada Kadavra. Perhaps requiring 1 of the ingredients being Phoenix Tears and another being Tears of Love (as well as other ingredients of course). So the sacrifice part still marks Neville, but Snape could still save Harry out of his love for Lily!

I have an issue with this story. I doubt Neville would have been that secluded. Dumbledore being the secret-keeper doesn't mean that he would be the only person who visits them. I'm sure his gran and a few friends would have been told by Dumbledore so they could visit. They can't give the secret away, but that doesn't mean Dumbledore couldn't tell them safely.

Can only imagine Sirius having a Alfred (dark knight rises) moment , standing over Lilly at Saint Mungos , guilt ridden and sobbing

[@caitlinh31415]

Four parts and we're only one year in. If they continue this (and I hope they do) this is going to take a while

[@wyldstealer]

I think that it is so amazing you’re completely rewriting an entire novel. It was such an amazing listen and I can’t wait for any future installments that might come

[@FerrerThess]

VIDEO IDEA: What If Marcus Flint (or any other 17 yo Slytherin) had been a Hogwarts Champion in the GOF? What if Harry and him develop a similar Cedric-Harry relationship of mutual respect? What would happen after Voldemort kills the Slytherin Champion? Would Draco still be as happy (at the beginning) to serve Voldy after he killed his Quidditch cap?

[@TheMan05555]

Yeah, no. Harry wouldn’t respect Flint in the slightest, and Flint’s character was your typical Slytherin, where as Cedric was not only kind, he wanted things to be fair, as in when he was willing to play the Quidditch match again after Harry fell off his broom thanks to the Dementors. Also, Flint wouldn’t be in the graveyard in the first place, as Harry would leave Flint to be taken by the obstacles. So the only long-term difference is that Cedric is alive, and maybe Harry would be harassed by the Slytherins more often than ever.

[@EmmaNapoles-un7hy]

Can you do all 7 years please I’m incredibly invested

[@avaglennon9873]

I loved this whole series! But I would love to see what would happen for the rest of Neville's time at Hogwarts.

[@Dijusticx]

I mean nothing would happen in Yr 2 or Yr 3 until the end of the year. Perhaps Lockhart is still hired to show Neville how horrible he is. And Neville could meet Lupin, who would've also undoubtedly have known Harry pre death. But I can't think of ways Voldemort could pull the strings apart from like, personally PolyJuicing into Lockhart or Lupin and fighting Dumbledore at the end of the Yr. In yr4 B. Crouch Jr. Could become DADA proffesor as a spy for Voldemort, Snape would inform Dumbledore BCJr can't be trusted and be keeping an eye on him during the Triwizard tournament. Only to have Crouch send Neville to the graveyard to fight against Voldemort and the death eaters but the the matching cores thing and Neville escaping and BCJr getting caught. So Fudge kinda has to admit Voldy being back but would probably still weasel his way into lying ab it. Next book would probs be most the same except Voldy can't lure Neville to DoM so the prophecy isn't destroyed and Malfoy isn't forced to kill Dumbledore. Half-blood prince is probs ab the same(I'm assuming after Harry's death Ron and Hermione become mates with Neville) except malfoy doesn't try to kill Dumbledore but he still curses himself with the Gaunt wrong and Snape has to kill him. Deathly Hallows would be incredibly different but I'm gonna let you try that one out for yourself 😉

[@ModernRascal]

Literally I want more so bad. I love these what if stories so much

[@montsediezsoler5794]

I have a question that I would like you to answer: In the first book, at the beginning, hagrid tells Dumbledore that he had used Sirius's motorcycle to move baby Harry and that he would give it back to Sirius. At that moment Dumbledore thought that Sirius had betrayed the Potter, so why didn't he tell Hagrid that Sirius was dangerous and that he did not have to go to Sirius location?

[@donb7519]

eh things were a little chaotic at that point they may not of realized that was how they died yet. Thats an in universe explanation the more likely thing is that not all the details were thought out yet so the secret keeper thing wasnt written yet

[@captaindanny8820]

Pirate Hagrid is now my new way to hear him in my head as I read.

[@kendobeats2999]

Definitely need the rest. 2 VOLDY’S?!?!?!? Voldemort chose Neville and Harry sacrificed himself so I know there’s more to this. It. Has. To. Be.😤😤😤

[@iTzNiKoYo]

Man I actually really love this Harry. Like a marauder reborn

[@M1ndlezz887]

The issue with theories like this is, I WANT IT TO BE REAL😭😭😭

[@jamesplunkett8912]

Godric Gryffindor would be so proud of both Harry and Neville for being so brave.

[@yourfavoritenothing3.0]

I really hope this story continues I gotta know what happens next .

[@UrFriendlyNeighborhoodBassist-]

Stop bc this is actually so cool the ending literally was so sweet 😭

[@nicolemelendez4415]

Dang I thought this was the next part 😭

[@Dude-vb4ul]

There is a reason that your hagrid sounds like a pirate, hagrid has a Cornish accent, and those from Cornwall on the Southern coast of England were often the ones leaving to the new world to be privateers and then become pirates.

[@whateverwhatever4476]

Really?

[@lukejohnson4975]

What if James and Lily Potter had accepted Dumbledore as their Secret Keeper? How would this change everything?

[@MrZachary5757]

And we’re still waiting

[@LEMONGREEN-h9c]

I really appreciate this hypothetical storyline. But I daubt that Harry would be able to understand or speak Parseltongue. His ability to understand it, came, as far as I know, from the part of Voldemort, someone from Slytherin's bloodline, inside him. Now, where he was not marked by him, he never obtain a part of his soul, therefore he isn't able to speak or understand Parseltongue, is he?

[@jdaines8360]

Ginny doesn't speak Parseltongue, but she was able to open the Chamber when Tom controlled her.

[@Zyantium]

It was from the diary, being possessed by Voldemort gives his powers to whoever gets mind controlled. That's how Ginny did it.

[@LEMONGREEN-h9c]

@@Zyantium thanks for reminding me at this

[@louiswalker3927]

40:21 omg that is an amazing drawing

[@BelowAverageGamingDad]

What if Voldemort had planned on killing Neville after killing Harry?

[@gwenkulikins926]

We need all 7 books with Neville as the chosen one now!! Please and thank you!

[@taryntimms3787]

I am really enjoying this, although if Harry was raised by serious and his mum was alive, I think Harry would hold more anger towards Voldemort. He would have grown up to actually see the pain that Voldemort did to his family. Also Lupin definitely would of coparented Harry, at least for the first couple of years. Serious most likely would of tried to find Voldemort until there was no clues left. Lupin would of had to tell him to stop and if he didn’t stop looking for Voldemort, Harry will loose him too. Serious would stop, focus only on Harry trying to turn him in his parent, especially James. Every he did was just like James or just like Lilly. While Harry as the chosen one, appreciated this but this Harry would have grown up in his parents shadow (like Neville did). UnlikeNeville who became insecure, Harry would be growing resentment that would be focused on Voldemort. Harry would lack identity, growing up seeking to prove he is just Harry not his parents. I also think Hermione would have still ended up friends with Harry as they both seek answers. Not sure about Ron being best friends with Harry, as Harry won’t need Ron’s guidance and friendship. I think they would be friends but not best friends. We all know Ron doesn’t stick around if he doesn’t feel needed.
