Canon Divergence

[batrachian]

The Ministry raid at the end of Y5; I am so glad of how differently it went, because canon wouldn't have been able to have things like this.

Yay for Harry actually having an approachable parent/mentor figure (or two).

I know what you mean. I've actually been thinking lately about the differences between the two, and whether I prefer the one or the other. I couldn't make my mind up. There are things I like about both. I bet Bea Lupin and Hydra Lestrange like Alternity, though: in the books, they were never born!

I utterly adore Sally-Anne Perks as a fascinating and fully realized person, and every now and then I have to remind myself that she's just mentioned once in the original series.

Me too! And Pansy and Justin. I like their characters so much that I have to remind myself not to like Pansy and ignore Justin when I read the books now.

And I'm just a little bit sad for F-F that Hydra doesn't exist in that world. Who's he going to fall in love with if not her?

Ditto for Bill. He could have been married and happy right now, had he not missed his opportunity to meet Fleur.
