10 Perfect Movie Ideas To Bring Harry Potter Back
6. Something That Turns Him Evil
This may immediately be dismissed as Jump The Shark-style fantasising, but it would be foolish not to acknowledge that Harry Potter has been marked by darkness, and that he has been seriously wounded by his past experiences.
What if a particularly bad episode - a magical disaster or the death of someone close to him - wouldn't send him spiralling? There's a grand history of heroes who lived long enough to become the villain (just as The Joker), and the right motivation could send Harry back to the Forbidden Section of the library (or the Ministry, more appropriately) to suit his own ends.
If Harry lost Ginny - or a child - he could be drawn to the Dark Arts as a means to bring them back (knowing the Resurrection Stone was never a real option), and seeing him become the villain would certainly be a bold, exciting prospect.
