    It's sad that some of movie-fans doesn't know that Neville could be a Chosen One too

    • @Pascaffa
      @Pascaffa Рік тому +64

      Because he can not be. To be a chosen one, he would need to be attacked by Voldemort, but because Neville's mother could not sacrifice her life for that of Neville, because she will not be given the choice by Voldemort, because Snape would not beg for her, he would have no love protection, thus he would die. Not some theorie, more like a lack of comprehension skills after knowing the complete story

      ​@Luke Huizinga just because the prophecy could have referred to both doesn't mean it did refer to either. It's like if the prophecy mentioned the person being called "John Smith" that doesn't mean that anyone named John Smith is potentially the chosen one, just the one John Smith the prophecy was actually about.

    Just a note about the Fidelius situation: The Longbottom's wouldn't have completely disappeared from the wizarding world. Dumbledore would be able to safely tell other members of the Order their location, so they could visit. We know from Lily's letter to Padfoot that the same thing happened with the Potters: Bathilda, Wormtail, and Sirius have all visited them.
    Disguised with polyjuice potion, perhaps they would even be able to go out from time to time, staying cooped up in their house for 10 years would not be fun.

      The spell breaks down over time after the original secret keeper dies... But I suppose you could have used Nicholas Flemelle as the secret keeper... And keep his stone in a separate location that only he and his wife could find... Until he hands it down to someone else.
      It is questionable if it can be re-cast over the same location once it has been concealed... So one might need to have to rebuild a building from scratch in order to recast the spell with a new secret keeper... It is hard to say.

      Dudley wasn't exactly cunning or manipulative and didn't have any real aspirations or anything. He wasn't at all like a Slytherin, no ambition, nothing. He was just a dumb spoiled bully. If he were at Hogwarts, he would probably be Hufflepuff. He's too cowardly for Gryffindor but so is Pettigrew so you can make the argument for Gryffindor too, but he isn't showed to be wise smart creative cunning ambitious or ANYTHING from Ravenclaw or Slytherin. He doesn't fit well as a Gryffindor either, so he would likely be a Hufflepuff because they take everyone that isn't fitting with the others

      I assume they're starting with the Chamber of Secrets since most of the events of Philosopher's Stone wouldn't happen. Voldemort never lost power, and therefore doesn't need the stone. The first year will likely be a quiet one.
      What is interesting is how the events of Chamber will be resolved. If Harry never became a horcrux, he's won't speak parseltongue. Even if Hermione figures out the baselisk based on all the other hints, no one will be able to open the chamber except Ginny (or whoever is unfortunate enough to get possessed in this version of the story).

    Harry does have some good questions. Im just starting this episode so hopefully the Super Carlin Brothers will cover some of this. The real problem with the idea of Neville being the chosen one isn't just who Voldermort chose. The reason Lily's sacrifice was so powerful, while James wasn't was because Lily had the option to live. In the books, it's revealed that Snape's love of Lily caused him to ask Voldermort to spare her, and since he was one of Voldermort's most trusted followers, Voldermort agreed. So he gave Lily a choice. James was always going to die. He didn't have the choice to live. No one was asking Voldermort to spare James. But Snape plead for Lily's life. So Voldermort told Lily to stand aside and let him kill her son. She didn’t. Thats why her sacrifice protects Harry but James's sacrifice doesn't. So with that knowledge, someone would have to plead for the life of Neville's mom, or else, she's just killed with no choice to live, so her love wouldn't protect Neville. Excited to see where this alt timeline will go.

    • @antoninocannizzo4905
      @antoninocannizzo4905 Рік тому +1

      Nevil in year 1 in the original plot has Trevor and the Rememberball, which would still give Harry a spot as Seeker; he also gave his Nick Flamel Chocolate Frog card to Harry. Nick is not important since his Stone would be not be needed by Voldemort. I’m wondering about Draco in this new storyline. Neville is not a good flyer so perhaps Draco, offended that THE Neville Longbottom is a Gryffindor, still would mock him.

    What about the Malfoys? The Weasleys? Tom Riddle's Diary? Ron? Hermione? Dean? Seamus? Fred and George? Percy? Ginny? Is the Sorcerer's Stone not destroyed, much less transferred from Gringotts to Hogwarts itself? The Basilisk? The Sword Of Gryffindor? Would this version of Harry have a different personality, more akin to Sirius, Remus, or his here-deceased father James?

    Dumbledore says that with the Fidelius charm, Voldy could be looking in the window of the Potter's house, but not be able to see them or get in. But he could know where it is.... So, maybe Voldy could have just blown up the village that the Longbottoms live in, killing everything and everyone instantly...

  • @chikowashere

    Other than Snape also bringing Harry along (he'd definitely just bring Lily but I still think that he'd tell Dumbledore where baby Harry was), this is spot on.

    This made me thing why Augusta was extra protective of Neville, aside from what happened to Frank and Alice. Like, she was too scared to let Neville out of her sight in fear of Voldemort finding him. :o Makes you see why he was raised that way.

    Nice work! My immediate thought was "there is no chosen one without Snape" because without Snape Voldomor would have just killed Lilly outright. But this is a really good way to make it work with Neville. Although without the protection of love he is a lot worse off.

    If Dumbledore was the secret keeper how did the Longbottoms get attacked in canon? Personally I would think that in that case maybe Dumbledore lifted the Fidelius after Voldemort’s defeat or the Longbottoms went out themselves. Maybe there are other possibilities?

    I don't think Voldemort would just give up, if he couldn't find Neville. After all, he was getting closer and closer to taking over the Ministry anyway in the First Wizarding War. What's important here is if he can manage to beat back the likes of Barty Crouch Sr. and Albus Dumbledore or not. If he can, or even if he can take the Ministry, Neville would basically be growing up in a Voldemort-run world.

  • @peshokatarov
    @peshokatarov Рік тому +1

    During the '10-year-wait', Voldemort will definitely try to sneak in as many agents as possible in Hogwarts. A new teacher, maybe a helper to Hagrid, a new ghost?

    • @ugolomb
      @ugolomb Рік тому +1

      He would also introduce sleepers into the Ministry. If Crouch Junior hadn't been captured, this would be to Voldy's advantage: it would mean that his father's reputation wouldn't have been ruined, so Crouch Senior would indeed become Minister, and his son would also rise in the Ministry (the Ministry, as described in the main story, is rife with corruption, so a little nepotism wouldn't be a problem -- and also, Crouch Junior would have enough talent to justify his promotion even if he werent' the Minister's son). I can imagine Voldemort actually instructing Crouch Junior to be overtly affectionate, or at least respectful, towards his father, so that he would indeed be well-placed to act as a sleeper agent for in due course.
