We show that the Harris-Sevast'yanov transformation for supercritical Galton-Watson processes with positive extinction probability q can be modified in such a way that the extinction probability of the new process takes any value between 0 and q. We give a probabilistic interpretation for the new process. This note is closely related to Athreya and Ney (1972), Chapter 1.12.
