It changes the canon by introducing a new form of interaction between Voldemort and Harry. Instead of just the typical battles and mind - reading attempts we see in the original books, the 'plugging' concept adds a more invasive and direct connection. For example, Voldemort could directly influence Harry's thoughts and actions in ways that were not possible in the canon.
The 'Voldemort plugs Harry' concept in fanfiction has a huge impact on the canon. It can change the way we view the characters' personalities. For instance, Harry might be more conflicted if Voldemort is constantly in his head. He could start to doubt his own actions and motives. Voldemort, on the other hand, could be seen in a different light. He might not just be the pure - evil villain but rather a more complex character who is trying to understand Harry in this very strange way. This also affects the relationships Harry has with his friends. They might notice a change in Harry and suspect that something is wrong, which was not part of the original canon.
Harry in this fanfiction is likely to be more ruthless. Voldemort's upbringing would make him less empathetic. He may value power above all else and be more willing to use dark magic to achieve his goals. His relationships would also be different. He wouldn't have the same close - knit group of friends as in the original story. Instead, he might be surrounded by Death Eaters or those who follow Voldemort's ideology.
In these fanfictions, Harry's character transformation is quite drastic. He loses his sense of morality. His loyalty, which was once towards his friends and the good side, now shifts to Voldemort. He becomes more power - hungry, willing to do whatever it takes to gain more power, including using dark magic without hesitation. He also becomes more secretive and manipulative, using his former relationships to further Voldemort's goals.
Harry could become more powerful in a way that scares his friends. Voldemort's training might focus on the Dark Arts, which are powerful but dangerous. This could change Harry's magic style. He may become more solitary as his new skills and knowledge set him apart from his Hogwarts friends who follow a more traditional path of magic.
One common theme is the exploration of good and evil. Since Harry represents good and Voldemort represents evil, fanfictions often delve into whether Voldemort can be redeemed or if Harry can be corrupted. Another theme is the power dynamic between them. Given Voldemort's great power and Harry's unique connection to him, how that power is balanced or shifted is often explored.
He becomes more conflicted. Knowing he's Voldemort's son, he's constantly in turmoil about his true nature. His confidence might waver as he wonders if he's capable of the same evil as his father.
The relationship would become extremely complex. Harry would be confused and conflicted. He's been taught all his life that Voldemort is pure evil, but now he's been saved by him. Voldemort, on the other hand, might start to see Harry in a different light, perhaps as a tool or as someone with whom he can form an unusual bond. It would be a relationship full of mistrust on Harry's part and manipulative intentions on Voldemort's.
The relationship would become extremely complex. Harry would no longer be able to simply see Voldemort as pure evil. He would be in a state of confusion and moral dilemma. Voldemort, on the other hand, might start to view Harry as a more interesting pawn rather than just an enemy to be killed. They could develop a strange sort of respect for each other, at least on a surface level.
Well, it might make him more cynical at first. After all, he has just absorbed the essence of the most evil wizard. But then he could use this newfound darkness within him to better understand the bad in the wizarding world and fight it more effectively.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Voldemort has a premonition. He sees that if Harry Potter dies, it will lead to a series of disasters that will also destroy his own plans. So, in order to preserve the balance or to keep his long - term goals intact, he saves Harry. For example, if Harry's death causes an uncontrollable chaos in the wizarding world, Voldemort's rule over the dark forces might be disrupted. So he steps in to save Harry.
Well, if Voldemort is weak, the whole threat level in the story drops significantly. Harry and his friends might not have to go through such intense battles and trials. Instead of a long - drawn - out war, it could be more of a quick resolution where they easily overcome Voldemort. The focus of the plot might shift from the fight against Voldemort to other aspects like exploring the wizarding world more, or dealing with other smaller threats that were overshadowed by Voldemort in the original series.
