30 Alternate And Infuriating ‘Harry Potter’ Endings J. K. Rowling Wouldn’t Dare To Write
Anyone who has ever succumbed to the "Harry Potter" phenomenon knows that magic is real. And don't worry; we haven't gone mad. We realize Hogwarts doesn’t exist. We admit this parallel universe of magic and the wizards and witches who wield it are creatures of the imagination. But the way this fantasy series cast a spell on the Muggle world proves that the boy who lived in it continues to live on in the hearts of many.
Many devoted Potterheads recall the moment of putting the final book down and mourning that the story is over. Or is it? It looks like some fans couldn't help but wonder about the ways things ended and decided to take action themselves. "How could JKR have ended the Harry Potter books that would have most pissed you off?" Redditor ykickamoocow111 asked, and the internet offered heaps of responses.
The user kicked off the thread by sharing a few events that would have angered them a great deal:
- Harry gets on the train when Dumbledore makes the offer;
- Hermione and Draco realize they are incredibly in love and want to be together forever;
- Ron perishes in a stupid and/or pointless way;
- "It was all a dream. Harry defeats Voldemort and the final line is 'and then Harry woke up in his cupboard, a tear running down his cheek as he realized Ron, Hermione and Ginny never existed.'"
Hundreds of people got creative and decided to share their takes on the most horrible, sad, and riddikulus different endings that would have left them fuming. So we at Bored Panda gathered some of the most intriguing responses from the thread to share with you all. All aboard the Hogwarts Express! Be sure to upvote your favorite replies and chime in with your own ideas in the comments!
Psst! For more wizarding goodness, check out our earlier piece on funny memes every Potterhead will have no trouble relating to.

The final scene is Harry sat in a therapists office, in a psychiatric ward. The therapist tries to convince Harry, yet again, that he needs to face the reality that his parents died in a car crash. That watching it happen and then being raised by his cruel aunt and uncle who locked I'm in a cupboard under the stairs often, gave him severe mental illness, delusions of grandeur and hallucinations. That this whole 'wizard school' doesn't exist, and he needs to face the truth.
Harry stands, shouts 'stupefy!' while pointing a pen at the therapist, before grabbing the broom in the corner of the room, leaping out of the window with it between his legs, and plummeting 40 feet to his death.

Kinda similar to my thought of cutting to a scene where police drag the kids out of some crackhouse. Them being dressed in ragged pointy hats and mumbling some "spells". Could be Harrys life spiraling out of control like in backstory.

I have always had this alternative ending I’ve imagined since I was a kid. Like what if Harry fully defeats Voldemort and destroys all the horcruxes except the one within himself. The Voldemorts soul inside of Harry overtakes Harry’s consciousness and becomes himself in Harry’s body.

Harry's whole story is just a fanfic written by Colin Creevey. In actuality, Harry's only major issue was having to stay with the Dursleys over the summer who, honestly, weren't as bad as Colin portrayed them. Voldemort actually died when he cast the curse that left Harry alive. Other than that, he was a typical average Hogwarts student. Everything else was a product of Colin's overactive imagination and obsession with Harry.
Monday 3 years ago
So book 1: Harry helps Dumbles find a pretty rock he lost. Book 2: Harry sneaks into the girl's bathroom and tells Colin about it. Book 3: Colin is intimidated by Harry's badass godfather who comes to visit his old friend Lupin at Hogwarts. Book 4: Colin wishes Harry was the Hogwarts champ instead of Cedric (who wins). Book 5: The teachers all form a club where they gossip about Umbridge, who everyone hates because she's satan. Book 6: Dumbledore retires and everyone blames Snape for some reason. Book 7: Harry has no time to spend with Colin cause he's studying for his NEWTS so Colin feels like Harry isn't even at Hogwarts anymore.

Harry loses his mind at the last minute and rides on a dragon, destroying Hogwarts and killing indiscriminately.
After dueling Lupin for her love, Voldemort goes to Bellatrix in the Hogwarts basement. He takes her in his arms, says he loves her and that he never really cared about immortality anyways. They are then both killed by the castle collapsing in on them.
McGonagall, the obvious choice for headmaster, decides to instead go on a self imposed exile to America.
Ron and Hermione go their own separate ways, never to see each other again.
Finally, Dean Thomas is the one who truly saves the day at the end and restores order. Because who has a better story than Dean Thomas?

Harry realizes that the best way to defeat Voldemort is by showing him, and making him feel, *love*. And so at the climax of the battle, Harry drops his wand and embraces Voldemort and says “Tom, I forgive you.” Voldemort falls to his knees suddenly feeling the weight of remorse and regret. His dark magic flies out of him and we’re left with a restored Tom Riddle. To atone for his evil, he becomes headmaster of Hogwarts and works alongside Harry (the minister of magic) to restore balance in the wizarding world.

Harry and Voldemort start inexplicably flying around the castle wrestling. They finally crash down in an abandoned courtyard and square off. They say nothing to each other before the final dual. Voldemort casts AK, while Harry casts expelliarmus. The spells connect causing the AK to slowly rebound on Voldemort. Then for absolutely no reason whatsoever, Voldemort just evaporates into smoke.
I would be super pissed if that had been the ending.

“At that point Voldemort had Harry defeated, disarmed his wand, with his foot on Harry’s neck”
“All this effort, Harry. All this wasted effort, only to die in the end.” Voldemort coldy stated
“My effort wasn’t for nothing, I fought for something bigger than myself” Harry struggled to say with Voldemort further digging his foot into Harry’s neck.
“Even now with Death inevitable you chose to act heroic. I will enjoy killing you and your friends Harry. Like your mudblood mother and no good Father.” Voldemort then forced Ron and Hermoine forward to kneel next to Harry
“Lucius and Bellatrix, my two faithful servants. I award you both in killing these traitors. Lucius please kill Ron Weasley while Bellatrix handle the girl.”
“With pleasure my Lord” Malfoy coldly uttered
“In unison all 3 screamed *AVADA KEDAVRA*”

Harry woke up to stomping up and down the stairs. Dudley must be awake. Harry pulled on his glasses and looked at his companion with the missing toe, "I think I figured out how to end my books."

Harry swung his legs off his tiny bed and prepared to go to his shift at Nando's. An unremarkable boy, with an unremarkable life.

If the ending was more cliched so to speak. Like a perfect happily ever after: Dumbledore comes back, Sirius didn’t actually die, Draco is actually super nice, etc. it’s just immature writing imo (I used to write like that when I was in middle school).

Ron being killed in a stupid and/or pointless way. I could accept him dying in a way where he saved lives, doing something really brave, but it would have pissed me off a lot if he died by some other means, or some reasonably pointless death.

Any of those events would have angered me a great deal.

There are... a few unforgivable atrocities of fiction I really hate. In my opinion anyway.
1. Going back in time to prevent Voldemort from ever existing.
2. Resurrection. Regret killing someone off? Sucks for you, shouldn't have done it.
3. Like you, it was all a dream/imagination/written, etc... To me, this sort of thing just kills the story. Takes the fun away. Fantasy is a way to *escape* reality, so dragging us back at the end is cruel.
4. Once a theory, ending it by undermining Voldemort's evil. Few people once thought that Harry and Voldemort would merge into a single entity to control both good and evil. That would be dumb.
5. A character turning out to be smeone from the future. Looking at you, Ronbledore!

I kinda think Harry should’ve died. But if he did, it shouldn’t be after getting a choice. He could’ve met Dumbledore to give the readers closure, but then be told that unfortunately he has to follow into the afterlife or choose to be a ghost, the same choice as every other dead person. But yes, if he does have the choice, it’s 100% within Harry’s character to go back. If given the choice, he’d never abandon the people he loves.

Harry accepts being sorted into Slytherin, is friends with Draco, over the course of the novels begins to turn evil but is able to hide it, creates his own Death Eaters, kills Voldemort and becomes the new Dark Lord.

that could actually make a really interesting plot divergence, I'd actually love to see this as a film! Edit: wait why am I being downvoted??

Harry is non-binary, and Hermione is his alter ego. J K Rowling explodes.

"I am Grindelwald" Voldemort said, before revealing his entire past about how he and dumbledore had dated but then dumbledore dumped him and he got real pissed and grew evil

Didn't Grindy dump Dumbles though? Since technically Grindy is the one that left. "Leaving him that night was the worst mistake of my life....but I learned Harry, oh yes I learned".

Harry dying out of the blue due to an undiscoved and undtreated heart condition and for no noble reason at all, would be a terrible ending. That world is magical, but life is not, and sometimes we just don't get the ending we want, where everything comes together and makes sense.

Here is my favorite alternative: Voldemort: *About to kill Harry* Draco: *slaps voldy* Drarry: *runs off into the sunset* if you can't tell i ship Drarry :b

I'm still pissed Dumbledore didn't come back. He's Order of the Phoenix, for god's sake. Phoenix are reborn. This is the only correct answer, and she blew it.

I get it. But I still think it was the right thing. Dumbledore's death was what made them all actually grow up. Up till then, Dumbledore showed up at the end and everything was sorted but then they had to deal with everything themselves.

Also I don't understand the bashing of Ron in that post. He's a wonderful character and Hermione's soul mate.

He's a wonderful character, especially in the books (the movies dumbed him down too much) but I feel that Hermione and Ron were too close, more like siblings, after those 7 years, so I didn't really agree with them getting together, to be honest.
