Top 10 Biggest Harry Potter "What Ifs"

The Top Ten
1 What if Harry was sorted in Slytherin?

Well if Harry was friends with Ron and they flew the Ford Anglia to Hogwarts, Snape would've expelled Harry.
He might not have found out loads of things he needed to know.

2 What if James Potter had his wand that night?

Nothing would change. Voldemort could probably overpower him.

3 What if Voldemort had won the final battle?

Then he'd be pretty paranoid after his horcruxes were all destroyed.

See cursed child

4 What if Sirius never went to Azkaban?

Stupid Ministry they should've like done a trial with Veritaserum.

5 What if the Potters chose a different secret keeper?

Replace "Harry Potter" with "Neville Longbottom" in the titles.

6 What if Harry never attended Hogwarts?

Oh my god Stonewall High the Local Comprehensive. The Dursleys making him wear Dudley's old school uniforms because Dudley is as fat as a baby killer whale.

7 What if Draco had killed Dumbledore?
8 What if Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers (Peter Pettigrew)?
9 What if Lupin was never with Harry on the train?
10 What if Harry had accepted Draco's friendship?
The Contenders
11 What if Harry had killed Draco with Sectumsempra?
12 What if they realised that Tanya Grotter was not a rip off?

Read PDF of her story.
Even her relatives turn out to be witches and wizards according to the Wikia which I went on Google translate. The evil witch made a dark magic school. They ride double basses and vacuum cleaners.
Some things are based on Russian legends.

13 What if DADA was not cursed?

Quirrell would still be teaching Muggle Studies, Lockhart would still be using memory charms on real heroes and people would think Lockhart is the hero, Lupin I dunno, a bit awkward of book 4 seeing as it was not Mad Eye Moody it was Barty Crouch Jr, then the ministry would not throw Umbridge into Hogwarts, maybe Snape would have the job and there would be no death eater teaching.

14 What if JK Rowling failed her end of first year exams and decided to just tell the muggle world
15 What if they had done Harry Potter before Hogwarts instead of Cursed Child?

Living in his cupboard under the stairs with spiders, believing that his parents were killed in a car crash--no questions.
Something terrible that Dudley had worn that kept shrinking to a size of a sock Petunia thought it had shrunk in the washing machine.
Harry ended up on the roof of the primary school kitchens to escape Dudley's gang and Vernon and Petunia got a letter saying he was climbing school roof.
His haircut confusion, turning his teachers hair purple.
Punched by Dudley breaking his glasses.
No friends in Primary school because everyone was afraid of Dudley's gang.
But witches and wizards bowing, shaking his hand and waving at him.

Nah I've been reading The Journey you'd be less of a hater of Cursed Child.

16 What if Peter Pettigrew had stayed as Scabbers and Sirius Black never saw the Daily Prophet with him in the photo?
17 What if Tom Riddle Sr did love Merope Gaunt?
18 What if Harry and Ron didn't crash into the Whomping Willow?
19 What if Lockhart had picked up Harry's wand?
20 What if Draco didn't trick Harry and Ron?

The "duel" in the trophy room.

21 What if only Harry picked up the Triwizard cup?
22 What if Lily had married Snape?
23 What if Petunia was a witch or squib?
24 What if Remus + Sirius had happened.
25 What if Voldemort never existed?
