## Changes

* Characters starting at age 13 (Book 3)
* Sort characters better
* Redeem Draco
* Do not redeem Snape
* Ministry of Magic is actually useful
* More academic
* Harry has no special powers
* Two more founders struck from history (starting with W and T) (architect)
* Remus should have shown up earlier? Because he is a werewolf and didn't want to make his life worse, only came when he found out Sirius broke out.
* Huge variation in how much pre-schooling the kids have
* Harry has to deal with his fame during the third book, already affected him in the first two
* Did the Death Eaters know Voldemort is a half-blood, fallout when/if they find out.
* Ron and Hermione would have had their pictures in the paper before book three due to Harry's fame. (would have broken out a year earlier)
* Story does not play well with modern technology.
* Voldemort's attacks do not line up with the end of the school year
* Portkey timetables
* How did Sirius end up in jail? trial should have been postponed
* Wormtail on Marauder's Map
* Sirius should not have been cooped up, pollyjuice potion.
* Harry should have seen thestrals earlier
* The Potter family should have a manor like the other rich old families.
* Blood magic for the manor instead of fidelus charm
* Need to use Sirius's magic mirror
* Hermione has a magical older sister as a way for her to know so much about magic-don't like this idea
* Grindelwald should have been talked about more
* Harry does not need glasses anymore- but decides to keep them, or needs to be a certain age before he can fix it-like this
* Other schools should have partaken in the Triwizard Tournament, and should not have been taken from their school for a whole year with a different curriculum. Kids should have been prepared and trained for their safety, Harry should have been able to just sit out and choose to not participate
* The Trace- needs to be more integral into the situation
* Is Polyjuice really that difficult if Hermione and so many other characters can make it?
* Integrating the Founders- not really relevant unless to the history of Hogwarts
* Fixing the calendar, first day of school should not always be a Monday
* Should be either in modern day or set back a hundred years.
* Better integrating wicca and pagan culture
* Fix the Latin and add Celtic and old languages like German
* Rearrange the couples: Harry and Hermione, Ron ends up alone, married teacher, adult relationships that have no relation to Harry, classmates should have relationships and cause trouble for Harry that have nothing to do with the plot
* Witty and sarcastic, then really quiet, dense, and naïve, then suddenly he returns, consistency in his characterization
* Normal student drama, destroyed the theater set so no more theater club (canon)
* Students from other years causing school-wide trouble
* Harry should not be especially affected by Dementors, Neville should also be very affected, etc.
* Harry should have been in Slytherin
