What if Sirius Black had never died in the Harry Potter series?
It’s often fun to think about your favorite character in the Harry Potter series but what if we had Sirius Black throughout all of Harry’s life? What if he survived?
Sirius Black is one of my favorite characters throughout the Harry Potter series. One of the worst deaths of my young life was reading that Sirius fell through the veil. So, what if he never did? What if Sirius Black survived and was there for Harry Potter?
It’s often fun to think about what characters would be like if they didn’t die in Harry Potter but there are some that maybe were treated unfairly and that’s how I feel about Sirius. A man who never got the chance to live in his freedom, Sirius was forced into hiding and then when he went to protect his godson, was killed by his own cousin.
With that comes the idea of Sirius not only being a freeman but what if he never died at the hand of Bellatrix to begin with. Would he have taken Harry from the Dursleys and protected him? What if he had helped Harry find the Horcruxes to defeat Voldemort?
Instead, we’re left with a hole where Sirius Black once stood and Harry Potter having to deal with the loss of the only real father figure that hits just that much harder. It wasn’t fair to Harry and it really wasn’t fair to Sirius so, sure, it’s nice to think about what if Sirius Black never died in the first place.
