Wrong Boy-Who-Lived is a type of AU in which Harry is not perceived as the prophesied Boy-Who-Lived, but instead the title is held by a twin brother or Neville Longbottom. The trope is most often used to refer to cases where the Boy-Who-Lived is misidentified, but is also used for AUs where he truly is not the Boy-Who-Lived.

This trope has significant overlap with Sorting AU, Raising Harry, and Dark Harry, although none of the tropes are integral to the AU.
