When the final Harry Potter book came out so many years ago, one of the most exciting parts was finding out the ultimate fates of so many of our favorite characters. Many of them ended exactly as we'd hoped — Neville becomes the Herbology teacher, Draco had a son named Scorpius, and Ron and Hermione pretend to love each other. But not every character gets such a perfect bow tied around their story. Here are some Harry Potter characters who did NOT get the ending they deserved.
Hagrid
Last we heard from Hagrid, he was going to have tea with Harry's son when he gets to Hogwarts. So, nothing changed for him whatsoever. In 26 years, nothing changed for him at all. I want Hagrid to try something new — get a Bently, rearrange his room, wear a bumblebee costume, whatever.
McGonagall
Yeah, she became Headmistress of Hogwarts, but did we see it? Nah man, it just happened off-screen, like it was no big thing! She's now the leader of the most prestigious wizarding school of all time. Can you imagine if one morning you just woke up and some Newsie little brat on the corner handed you a paper that read "Woodrow Wilson Elected President"? This would be especially alarming because Woodrow Wilson's been dead for years!
The Sorting Hat
Does the Sorting Hat get married and name his kids after dead characters like everyone else in this series? Furthermore, is a Sorting Hat capable of having kids? How would... that work? Hey, don't look at me like that! I've been to DeviantArt, I know I'm not the first person to think about this.
Tonks and Lupin
They just died. Like, it just happened and then other things happened. Harry came over to where they were being dead and was all "Lupin and Tonks are dead, huh? Is there any more of that rad queso dip around anywhere?"
George Weasley
We never get to hear about the certain darkness George went through after Fred's death. He probably opened a Carl's Jr. franchise or got a job as the guy who puts animals to sleep at the pound, because you don't lose a twin and then go back to running your joke shop, I'll tell you that much.
Vernon Dursley
How did his heart not explode?
Voldemort
The evilest, worst dark wizard of all time just gets reverse Avada Kedavra'd? Like, he just slumps over, dead? Whatever. That dude needed to be put in a rocket ship with ten bears and Hagrid in a bumblebee costume and shot into the sun, but not the regular sun the MAGIC sun and then have the spaceship recovered and thrown into a meat grinder and then have him reconstituted using secret Horcruxes and killed again by beheading or infected cancer sore because he was SO EVIL and he can never be dead enough.
