What If Sirius Black Survived

What If Sirius Black Survived?

[BrennySpain]

Personally, I understand why Sirius Black had to do die, but I felt like it happened way too soon personally. He was only introduced in the 3rd book or movie, the Prisoner of Azkaban, and got killed off in the 5th book or movie, Order of the Phoenix. But I think they should’ve waited until the 6th or 7th book before that happen. I mean he was really only around for 2 more movies after his introduction. So it just felt like we didn’t spend enough time with the character. What do you all think?

If Sirius survived I think he would have died in the final battle instead of Lupin, but until this point he would have been extremely helpful to the trio and the order. I wonder what his reaction be like if he heard Harry exposing that Snape was on the good side and that it was a planned death. He would be like this😮

I wonder how he would've reacted to Kreacher telling the story of how Regulus stole the Horcux and replaced it with a replica. I don't think he would have been as forgiving to Kreacher cause of it due to growing up with him, but I also think he would've felt proud that Regulus eventually came to his senses and ultimately gave his life to protect his family and would probably give him even more reason to fight and accompany the trio on the hunt for horcrux hunt as he would want to make sure his brother didn't sacrifice himself for nothing.

If Sirius survived The Battle of the Department of Mysteries JK would've probably killed him in Dobby's place at the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor or the Battle of Hogwarts

You're right, of all the characters I could bring back or have not die, it is always Sirius.

If the battle of the 7 Potters didn't take place, Headwig would still be alive as well. The time spent in the woods would have been much shorter with her acting as a messenger bird. They would have been brought in quicker, and thus, the battle of Malfoy Mannor never happened. Sadly, we lose Luna, Griphook, and Olivander, but Dobby lives. Then, the burial scene becomes him with Moody's eye.

A better ending would be: all was Sirius(ly) well.

Harry wouldn't be the same Harry, if Sirius hadn't died. His death is a character defining moment and it will definitely move the canon heavily. Even delaying the death makes a difference. The reason I mentioned that is because Harry's strength and love was sourced a lot from the pain of losing his loved ones. Not saying it's good to lose loved ones, but for the sake of the story and character development, Sirius's death makes "sense".

Sirius' death greatly saddened me. He's my absolute favourite character.

I wonder how he would have been with Harry and Ginny's children. For some reason, I can see him being really good with children.

[trillz]

In my honest opinion, I think the events would of happened in some way similarly. Dumbledore, I think, would if made sure Harry stayed at the Dursley's regardless if Sirius lived. Harry definitely would if visited but not be allowed to call it home. I'd imagine he would of visited the Dursley place often as well. Him helping him move along with Ginny is a definite plus. Overall, in my alternate head canon, things would be similar but not exact to as if he died.

With Harry leaving Privet Drive, he would be in “Sirius” danger.😅

[kanna]

To me I really want Sirius Black to survived so Harry can live with him instead of his evil aunt, uncle and cousin and that Sirius is more like father figure than that uncle.

Up to book 4 Harry only tried to escape Voldemort, and survive when he attacked him. Sirius’s death is the turning point, with the dumbledore’s office scene, when he understands that due to the profecy he’ll have to kill Voldemort, or be killed, and has the motivation to do it. So I’m not sure he would become so hellbent on finding the horcruxes and actively do whatever necessary to end Voldemort if Sirius had survived.

[stephaniejenkins]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Harry himself questioned why they'd be travelling in the open using thestrals, Hagrid's motorbike and broomsticks in the battle of the seven Potters, since the original plan was to use apparition to get him out of Privet Drive... and he was told they have to use methods of travel that the Ministry can't track.

[MegaGandalf]

If Sirius lived, Harry wouldn't have chased Bellatrix, the duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore might not have happened and Fudge wouldn't have seen Voldemort.

[Delaney_Wang_YT]

Something I “want to add”: If I could change 1 thing about the Harry Potter series, it would be *that his aunt Petunia was a witch and not a Muggle, * who’d willingly take in Harry after the death of his parents, and Harry would also at least have a MOTHER figure in his life should Sirius still have died, leaving Harry without a father figure.

*PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS COMMENT, THANK YOU*

If Sirius survived he would have been the one to kill Bellatrix instead of Molly

[tavellclinton]

It would have been nice if Sirius survived and Pettigrew was sentenced for life in Azkaban.
