Their underdog status. Muggles in the Harry Potter world are seen as inferior in terms of power compared to wizards. So when a muggle is 'badass', it's like a David vs Goliath situation. They have to rely on their non - magical skills and wits to overcome magical challenges, which is really exciting to read.
The potential for character growth. A 'badass muggle' in a fanfic might start out as just an ordinary person in the muggle world. But as they get involved in the wizarding world, they learn and adapt. They might start to understand magic and use it to their advantage in a creative way, or they might inspire wizards to see muggles in a new light. This journey of transformation makes them very interesting characters in Harry Potter fanfic.
One 'badass muggle' could be a character who manages to outwit dark wizards using just their street smarts. For example, in some fanfics, there are muggles who are really good at martial arts and they use their physical skills to hold their own against wizards who underestimate them.
Some muggles in fanfiction could be the relatives of a half - blood wizard. These muggles might have a hard time understanding their wizarding family member's abilities at first. They could be initially skeptical or even scared when they witness magic. However, as the story progresses, they might come to accept and even be in awe of the wizarding world.
Well, one factor is a powerful and confident version of Harry. For example, if he has some new and extraordinary magical abilities that set him apart. Like in some fics where he can control all the elements, that's really badass. Another aspect could be the way he stands up to the villains. If he doesn't wait for them to make the first move but actively hunts them down.
Well, one possible reason could be their ignorance of the magical world. Muggles, not understanding magic, might accidentally trigger events that lead to destruction. For example, they could unknowingly interfere with magical spells or artifacts that are crucial for maintaining the balance of the world.
Well, I'm not sure of a specific 'Harry Potter and Muggles' lemon fanfiction off the top of my head. But generally, in such fanfictions, they might explore how Muggles would react to the magical world in a more intimate or romantic context. But again, due to the nature of lemon content, it's not always easy to recommend as it goes against the family - friendly nature of the original 'Harry Potter' series.
The main appeal is seeing Harry in a different light. In the original books, he was great but had his moments of self - doubt. In these fanfictions, he's confident and takes charge. It gives fans a sense of empowerment as they read about Harry being badass.
One key factor is the world - building. In a 'badass Harry Potter fanfiction', the author might expand on the wizarding world in ways that J.K. Rowling didn't. For instance, exploring new magical lands or hidden parts of Hogwarts. If the story also has a darker or more complex tone, it can be more appealing. Think about a fanfiction where the political situation in the wizarding world is much more convoluted and Harry has to navigate through it while being a 'badass' leader or rebel. Also, when the fanfiction challenges the established norms of the original series. For example, if it changes the house dynamics so that Gryffindors are not always the 'good guys' and Slytherins have more depth than just being the 'bad guys'. This kind of subversion can make a 'badass Harry Potter fanfiction' really stand out.
One possible reason could be a misinterpretation of his character. In the original series, Harry Potter doesn't hate Muggles at all. But in this fanfic, perhaps the author wants to explore a 'what if' scenario where something drastic has happened to make him have such feelings. Maybe he's been betrayed by a Muggle - in the fanfic world, this could be a made - up situation that sours his view on all Muggles.
Some fanfictions might have a plot where the muggle family tries to 'cure' Harry of his magic. They could take him to various doctors or therapists thinking he has some sort of mental disorder. Meanwhile, Harry is feeling more and more isolated and confused. When he does meet someone from the wizarding world, like a Hogwarts teacher who comes to check on him, it's a moment of great relief and the start of a new journey.
There could be a fanfic where a group of rogue Death Eaters, who were never caught after Voldemort's fall, start a new wave of Muggle murders. They might be using new and more sinister magic to carry out their evil deeds. In the fanfic, Hermione could use her intelligence to research old and forgotten spells to counter their attacks.
