What are the alternative realities of Harry Potter’s life?
We explore the alternative realities of Harry’s life in the first book. Stories, much like life, are determined by decisions. Lord Voldemort decided to murder Harry Potter’s parents.

How did Harry Potter’s attitude affect his actions?
His headstrong attitude may lead him to more than a few heroic deeds but it also got him into quite a lot of trouble. Despite having the weight of the world on his shoulders, Harry rarely ever thought things through. He usually just rushed into things head first and lucked his way into victory.
Is Harry Potter taking his studies too seriously?
For Harry though, it might be. Throughout the series, Harry is routinely confronted with magical creatures and problems he doesn’t understand. For someone who faces a deadly challenge at the end of each school year, you’d think he’d take his studies on the wizarding world more seriously.
What would have happened if Harry Potter and Ron never bonded?
The list is long. If the trio hadn’t bonded over that troll, and Harry and Ron hadn’t become close friends with Hermione, it’s safe to bet that the Harry Potter series would have consisted of Harry and Ron just bumbling about, never solving anything. Voldemort’s victory would have been swift, and easy.
