gain ready to breathe in and breathe out,Harry Potter fans - a recent theory is sparking up a conversation on the Internet on how the entire series could've changed. The single theory is based on one passage in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, involving the most underrated Hogwarts house - Slytherin.
The speculation, and outlined by Tumblr user crazybutperfectlysane,discusses the notion of Cassius Warrington of Slytherin being chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament instead of Cedric Diggory. Both characters would still continue to aid each other throughout the book up until the very end, when Voldermort still decides to cancel Warrington. The user discusses the possibility that this might've united the Slytherins against Voldemort so they could believe fought against him in the Battle of Hogwarts. Pretty crazy correct? The entire post is below.

However, or the theory train didn't quit here. Another user,aplatonicjacuzzi, took it upon themselves to delve deeper into what Warrington's death would mean to Slytherin, or Hogwarts,and Harry. This would include Slytherins realizing that pure bloods aren't safe from Voldemort, joining Dumbledore's Army, or eventually facing off against He Who Must Not Be Named at final. The rest of the imagined storyline is below.

These two posts are currently circling the Internet,even though both are two months old. It makes sense - it's serving up the correct amount of fresh "what if?" options we always need every few months. We can't imagine how different the stories of all our favorite characters would be like or how Harry Potter could believe had different kinds of support at Hogwarts. Guess that's all we can enact now: wonder how and what could change the story we love and treasure so much.
