In this episode, we flip the script and discuss what would happen if Harry grew up with Sirius. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:22 The story wouldn’t be as good. It sounds strange to say, but it is true. The magic of the story comes from Harry’s ignorance for the first 11 years of his life, then the spark that comes from his realization that there is so much more to his life and an explanation why strange things happen around him.

· 7:29 He would be more powerful. It took just a few years at Hogwarts for Harry (or more accurately the piece of Voldemort inside him) to grow into a powerful wizard. But if Harry knew he was magical years earlier, he might have been able to land on his feet at Hogwarts and learn magic faster.

· 11:55 He would be more like James. That might also mean that he might be more of a bully. Dudley didn’t do much for Harry, but he did teach Harry humility. Harry wasn’t about to become a bully at Hogwarts after being tortured for years at home. But if he didn’t have that and he had a much bolder and James-like father figure at home, he might be a little different.

· 18:33 The Mirror of Erised might not show his parents. In the end, it probably will. Harry isn’t a completely different person after all. But, when he is with Sirius, he has the person who was the closest person to his father. Petunia was Lily’s sister, but they were far from close. Harry might miss his parents just a bit less with Sirius around.

· 23:00 The story wouldn’t happen. This is true of every Flip the Script. The differences would be smaller than others, but they would bump the story in such a way that would send it into a totally different direction.

· 25:40 Harry would have less character. He would still be famous, but nothing about him other than that would be different. He would just be another student from another wizarding household coming to Hogwarts.
