Top 10 Things That Would Make Harry Potter Better

His death was important enough. They gave him a funeral at the end of Goblet of Fire, and it was still being talked about in the fifth book (although under the guise of a "tragic accident"). Also, The Cursed Child shows an alternate timeline where Cedric was alive but turned into a Death Eater, killed Neville, and prevented Harry from winning against Voldemort (which also prevented Harry's children from being born).

Rowling should have introduced Cedric no later than book two. This would have allowed her to flesh out his character and give us a glimpse into who he is. That could have also served as an opportunity for us to learn more about Hufflepuff house.

I can understand the appeal. There would have been fewer temper tantrums in The Cursed Child, but they wouldn't have disappeared entirely. There would still be tantrums about the new Time-Turners, Harry being grumpy as an adult, and Ron being comical, even though he decided to retire from being an Auror and work with George in the joke shop.

I would have loved to see Draco turn his back on Voldemort and step in to defend Harry after Harry saved him in the Room of Requirement. A scene featuring Snape, Draco, and Harry fighting Voldemort together would have been amazing to see.

Petunia, grow up. Yes, your sister went to Hogwarts, and you couldn't. And yes, she was prettier than you. But you cannot harbor jealousy for years.

Well, I suppose they were similar to Cinderella's family or the Wormwoods in Matilda.

Didn't see this one at first. Totally agree.

This can be extended to the whole series. The romance should have been dialed down a bit so it didn't feel more important than some of the other elements of the series.

Remember that scene in The Deathly Hallows when Ron found "Potterwatch"? Fred was talking on the radio, and he said, "You know who can move faster than Snape when he sees a bottle of shampoo." That made the final book readable for me.

I agree the Weasley twins are so overrated. They were pretty mean to Ron when he was little . . . they caused his fear of spiders!

I'm not a Slytherin, but Slytherins are really overhated. It's so unfair that if you're a Slytherin, people think you're evil. There are many good Slytherins, like Andromeda Tonks, Scorpius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and Albus Potter. Even Merlin, the most famous wizard of all time, was in Slytherin!

Best item on the list.

Slytherins are overhated, and I am clueless as to why. Sure, Voldemort/Tom Riddle was in Slytherin, but that doesn't mean Slytherins like me are evil! Besides, let's not forget Merlin himself was in Slytherin.

If Sirius didn't die, I would have enjoyed it a lot. Imagine the look on his face when Voldemort says Harry is dead. Imagine his face when he sees Remus dead. Imagine his face after the Battle of Hogwarts when Voldemort dies.

Just imagine all the things we could've seen if he was still alive. Sirius is my favorite character, and when he died, I wanted Bellatrix to be dead so badly.

He died going through the veil of life and death, but in the movies, they changed it so that Bellatrix casts the Killing Curse, and then he goes through.

If Harry hadn't been so worried about the Christmas present Sirius gave him, he would have known about the two-way mirror, and then Sirius's death wouldn't have happened.

I think if Luna and other important Ravenclaws had shown up earlier, this problem could have been fixed. But the first book introduces so many characters, and one more with a full plot would have overdone it. The second book focuses too much on Salazar Slytherin (a.k.a. Mr. Evil-Pureblood) and Godric Gryffindor (a.k.a. Mr. Hero). The third book/movie would have complicated things, and in Goblet of Fire, there are already so many new characters that adding anyone else would be overwhelming.

I just wish Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had more consistent appearances in the movies and books. They are just as capable of heroism as Gryffindors and just as capable of evil as Slytherins.

Yes, please! Remus was the last of the Marauders (Wormtail doesn't deserve to be one). He is so sweet! I love that he's the guy who comforts sad people, like when Molly sent Percy a Christmas jumper and Percy sent it back without a letter or anything.

And Tonks is wonderful! We need more female characters like her. She is such a breath of fresh air, and she stands out from the rest. She's so much fun with her laid-back, goofy, and clumsy personality (I love the twins for the same reason). She's much more relatable than the rest of the gang, who glide around effortlessly, never breaking or knocking over anything. She's such a complete character! I love them both.

Harry being raised by Sirius in case Lily and James were killed off would have been a great alternative.

I'd say this is one of the biggest issues in the books and movies. The problem is the sheer segregation of Slytherin House from everyone else. Slytherins are often considered the evil ones and are always associated with pure-blood beliefs. Even after Harry sends his kids to Hogwarts, the school still has this problem. The other houses never seem to have issues with one another.

The Slytherins coming together with the other houses to defeat Voldemort would have been a nice full-circle moment, especially if the other houses were fleshed out more.

I know this would have left the Weasleys partnerless, but I think Harry and Hermione would have had a lot more chemistry than Hermione and Ron did. Hermione and Ron tried too hard to force their relationship, while Harry and Hermione had several opportunities to kick things off naturally, like if they had decided to go to Slughorn's party together.

It would have been a nice full-circle moment if all the schools (at least Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang) came together to defeat Voldemort's army. This could also have served as a nice spinoff, similar to what Rick Riordan did when he introduced Camp Jupiter in his Percy Jackson series.

More information? Yes, instead of mainly seeing them through memories from the enemy.

I know a good name: The Hogwarts Chronicles.

A fan fiction idea where Voldemort didn't exist and there was a different plot.

David Tennant is an amazing actor, and I would have loved to see more of him in the series.
