What if Harry Potter had been written by Chetan Bhagat? It would probably still be a ‘bestseller’ in our country, but with lots of Bollywood drama added to it. Buckets of tears, a lost girlfriend and maybe Harry would talk to God to seek respite from his ‘Muggle’ Uncle and Aunt.
Of course, none of us believe that 2 States author Chetan Bhagat would do a better job writing the magical journey of Harry Potter than JK Rowling. But Quora users decided to entertain us by responding with the most incredible answers ever.
