Often, the big brother provides emotional support. When Harry faces difficulties like dealing with the death of his parents or the pressure of being the 'Chosen One', the big brother is there to listen and offer advice. He might share his own experiences of loss or struggle, which makes Harry feel less alone. This in turn allows Harry to grow into a more well - rounded and emotionally stable person. Also, in some fanfictions, the big brother's presence can change Harry's social standing. If the big brother is popular or respected, Harry may find himself in different social circles, which can expose him to new ideas and ways of thinking, furthering his development.
The big brother can act as a mentor. For example, if he is more experienced in magic, he can teach Harry new spells and techniques. This helps Harry become more confident in his magical abilities.
Well, it could change the whole dynamic. Cedric might protect Harry more, like when facing the challenges at Hogwarts. He could also give Harry advice on dealing with school and the wizarding world, which would make Harry more confident.
His brother might become overconfident. Since he's now the center of attention instead of Harry, he could get a big head. He might think he's invincible and not take the necessary precautions in the wizarding world. He could also feel a lot of pressure, as everyone would be expecting him to be the hero. This could lead to him either rising to the occasion or crumbling under the weight.
Perhaps the plot could involve the Hogwarts houses competing like 'Big Brother' contestants. Each house has to strategize, form alliances, and complete tasks to avoid being 'evicted'. Harry could be a key player in Gryffindor's strategy.
Well, it depends. While 'Harry Potter' is extremely popular, the 'Big Brother' aspect might not be appealing to all fans. Some purists might not like the idea of melding the magical world of Harry Potter with the reality - show - like concept of 'Big Brother'. However, for those who enjoy creative and out - of - the - box fanfictions, it could gain some popularity.
Well, in many 'Harry Potter Big Brother Fanfiction' stories, Neville Longbottom is a surprisingly popular character. He has grown so much in the original series, and in this fanfiction scenario, he can show his new - found courage and leadership skills. Sirius Black, if included, is also a favorite. His wild and rebellious nature would make him a force to be reckoned with in the 'Big Brother' house.
The protective brother can change the plot significantly. For instance, if he's highly skilled in magic, he can prevent Harry from getting into some of the dangerous situations he faces in the original series. He might be able to stop Harry from entering the Triwizard Tournament by interfering with the Goblet of Fire's magic. This would then change the entire course of that year at Hogwarts and Harry's relationship with Cedric Diggory and others.
In this fanfiction scenario, Harry Potter might change in several ways. His perspective on life and death could shift. Knowing that his brother has some sort of'reborn' aspect could make him question the finality of death more. He could also become more empathetic towards those who have lost loved ones. Emotionally, he might be more stable as he has a family connection now. This new bond could also make him more willing to take risks in the name of protecting his brother, which is a different kind of motivation compared to just fighting Voldemort for the sake of the wizarding world. Additionally, he may develop new magical abilities or skills as a result of the influence of his brother's unique situation.
Well, his character development would be much more complex. He'd start with a sense of entitlement from the Malfoy family upbringing. But as he experiences Hogwarts and meets different people, he'd gradually question those values. His moral compass would be constantly challenged by the family's beliefs.
Fred and George Weasley are also excellent big brother - like characters in fanfics. They are fun - loving and mischievous, but they also have a strong sense of family and would do anything to protect their younger siblings or friends who they see as family. They can introduce a lot of humor and light - heartedness into the story while still being there for the important moments. In some fanfics, Neville Longbottom can also be portrayed as a big brother. He grows so much throughout the series and can offer support and stability to other characters.
It has a huge impact. First, in the context of the fanfiction, Dumbledore's teaching of Occlumency could be a way for Harry to finally have some privacy in his mind. Harry has always been an open book in some ways, and this would change that. Second, it could enhance his relationships. He'd be less likely to accidentally project his thoughts or feelings onto others. And third, it would give him an edge in the fight against the Dark Arts. He could better resist Legilimency - based attacks and perhaps even use Occlumency in a more offensive way against the Death Eaters.
