The five worst 'Harry Potter' alternate endings
July 19, 2007
5. Potter ends up at Foot Locker: Fast forward 30 years and the boy wizard's aspirations are tamed quite a bit, so now he's selling Pumas.
4. Potter professes his love for Hermione Granger - and then says "psych!"
3. Lord Voldemort asks for Potter's friendship - and then tells him, "We can beat out Siegfried & Roy in Vegas for main stage performances."
2. Potter beats Voldemort with a card trick: "It's called 52 card pickup."
1. Potter sneezes on Voldemort: With this very Orwellian ending ("War of the Worlds") a virus extinguishes the villain and J.K. Rowling's credibility.
