Never gonna happen, BUUUUT...

 My sister just commented to me that JK should write another seven book series chronicling what would have happened if Neville had been the Chosen One.

:O

Must discuss!

TOO.MANY.POSSIBILITIES.

BRAIN.IS.BROKEN.

wanna bet there is fanfic for this?

[odiele]

I can't even imagine what would have happen

[kaseygrey]

How would the early books have been different? Would Neville have had the same adventures, or would Dumbledore have guided him in a different way? Would we have even seen the Sorcerer's stone and the Chamber of Secrets?

Would Neville have blossomed into a BAMF quicker under the direct guidance of Dumbledore? Really, Harry got opportunities to learn that the others didn't. Would they have made a difference to Neville?

I think they would've made a huge diference to the character of Neville. It's not until the fifth book that he gets some confidence in using spells because of the DA. He's got his grandmother that won't even buy him his own wand because this one belonged to his father etc. All in all, I don't think Neville ever really had the chance to fully explore himself while he was a kid.

let's make a flowchart of all the things that happened because harry was the chosen one.

The only thing I can recall right now is Cedric's death ...

[kewljules00799]

but would Harry have ever been in the Tournament if he wasn't The Boy Who Lived??

[elschmo]

Right, right, because even if Neville was the Chosen One, he'd be selected to participate in the tournament (it'd be more sensational, I guess), and that'd still lead to Cedric's death.

AAAAAH HEAD HURTS
