The wizarding world would likely be very different. Magic might have evolved in ways that are unrecognizable. Harry, being 500 years old, would have witnessed these changes. There could be new forms of magic, new magical creatures, and different social structures. For example, the Ministry of Magic might have transformed into something entirely new, perhaps more of a democratic council where all magical beings have a say.
If Harry is 500 years old in the fanfiction, the wizarding world would be a blend of the old and the new. On one hand, there would be remnants of the traditional wizarding society that Harry grew up in. On the other hand, new generations would have brought in their own ideas and magic. Harry would be like a living bridge between the past and the present. He could be a force for stability, but also a source of change as he shares his vast experience. There might be new laws and regulations based on his insights over the centuries, and the way magic is practiced and taught could be revolutionized.
The wizarding world would be far more primitive. There might not be organized schools like Hogwarts. Instead, magic would be passed down through families or small groups. Harry would be part of a more superstitious society where magic and non - magic were not as clearly divided as in modern times. His role could be to bridge the gap between different magical factions, as his unique powers might be seen as a way to unify the various groups in the face of common threats like marauding magical beasts.
Some might be angry, thinking he's abandoning his responsibilities. The Ministry of Magic might try to persuade him to come back or even use force if they thought it was necessary for the safety of the wizarding world. His friends, on the other hand, would likely be sad and try to understand his reasons. They might also try to convince him to return, as they know how much he means to the fight against evil in the wizarding world.
It expands the wizarding world by introducing new magical creatures. Fanfiction often includes creatures that were not in the original books, which can inhabit new areas of the wizarding world. For example, some fanfictions might have underwater magical creatures with their own unique magics. This forces the wizards in the story to interact with different ecosystems. Another way is through new forms of magic education. Instead of just Hogwarts - style teaching, fanfiction can show different schools or methods of teaching magic, like a school that focuses solely on defensive magic and has its own set of spells and techniques.
Well, the pure - blood families who were on the fence about Harry might finally accept him wholeheartedly. They would see that he was the one who could truly rid the wizarding world of Voldemort. However, there would also be those who would be critical. Some of the more traditional wizards and witches might think that using a shooting method was too violent and un - wizard - like. They might worry that this sets a bad precedent for future conflicts in the wizarding world. But overall, the general public would be relieved that Voldemort was finally gone and would likely celebrate Harry as a savior.
The wizarding world would be in shock. The two most polarizing figures being mates would shatter the existing power dynamics. The Death Eaters might split, some following Voldemort's new path with Harry, while others would rebel. The Order of the Phoenix would also be divided, with some believing in the power of love and this strange bond, and others seeing it as a trick by Voldemort.
The wizarding world would be in shock. Harry has always been seen as a symbol of hope and the one who could defeat Voldemort (Tom). People would feel betrayed, especially his friends like Hermione and Ron. The Ministry of Magic would likely see Harry as a new threat and start devising plans to stop him. There would be a lot of fear and uncertainty among the wizarding population.
It might have a more modern exterior. While shops in the wizarding world in England often have a traditional and somewhat old - fashioned look, in New York, his shop could blend in with the modern architecture a bit more.
Harry would need to learn about the different magical laws in America. For instance, the regulations regarding magical creatures might be stricter or more lenient compared to the UK. He might also have to get used to the different currency used in the American wizarding economy.
They would be devastated. Harry has many friends and allies. People like Hermione and Ron would be heartbroken and would probably seek revenge. The Hogwarts faculty would also be deeply affected. Dumbledore, if he's still alive in the fanfiction, would feel a great sense of guilt for not protecting Harry better. There might be a split in the wizarding community, some believing the Dursleys were acting on their own, others suspecting a darker conspiracy.
There would be a great deal of shock and confusion. Many would start to question everything they had believed in. Families would be divided. Some might think that Harry had been corrupted by Voldemort's dark magic and try to find a way to reverse it. The Ministry of Magic would be in a panic. They would try to come up with new strategies to deal with this new threat. Teachers at Hogwarts would be worried about the safety of their students. And the Death Eaters, while initially happy to have Harry on their side, would also be suspicious of his motives and loyalty.
