15 Harry Potter stories that actually happened
The Harry Potter series has captivated the imagination of its audience for nearly twenty years now. It seems that ending the original series of novels was not enough to kill interest in the franchise, as the Potter fanbase is still so active that Warner Bros. is making some new prequel films just to satiate the appetite of those who want more magic in their lives. If there is one thing we love here at Screen Rant, it’s discussing Harry Potter– from fan theories to intriguing facts about the series, and even what the cast of the movies is getting up to these days. The series has so much depth that we could talk forever about the intricacies of the magical world of Harry Potter. Today, we are here to delve into the things that could have happened differently. Both J.K. Rowling and the makers of the films have been very open about how they almost went in a different direction at major points in the story.

Florte...can't spell...THE FATE OF FLOREAN FORTESCUE
Chapter 13
Florean Fortescue was the owner of an ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley. It was never implied that he had any relevance to the story other than serving desserts for the kids who are picking up their gear for Hogwarts. At one point during the story’s development however, Florean had a much bigger role to play.
J.K. Rowling has discussed Florean in interviews and on Pottermore. It was originally planned for the Fortescue family to be closely related to Ravenclaw’s Diadem and the Elder Wand. At one point, Harry and his friends would rescue Florean and receive important information from him. Over time, Florean’s dialogue was given to Ollivander and the Grey Lady. In the end, Florean was killed simply for knowing too much.
