Maybe a long - lost relative of Voldemort. This character could inherit some of his dark powers and have a natural inclination towards the dark arts. They could emerge as a new and dangerous dark arts master, causing chaos in the wizarding world and challenging Harry and his friends in ways not seen before.
A former Hogwarts student who was bullied and ostracized could turn to the dark arts. They might feel that the traditional wizarding society has failed them, so they decide to embrace the dark arts to gain power and respect. This character could be a complex and interesting dark arts master in fanfiction, as they would have a backstory that readers could sympathize with to some extent, while also being horrified by their actions.
Bellatrix Lestrange could be a potential focus as a dark arts master in fanfiction. She already has a deep knowledge of the dark arts in the original series. Fanfiction could explore her even more, perhaps showing her training others in the dark arts in a more in - depth way.
There could be a dark arts teacher who is actually a double - agent. This character might seem to be teaching Harry the wrong things at first but is actually guiding him to use the Dark Arts for good. Another new character could be a mysterious figure from an ancient dark arts cult who tries to recruit Harry for their own purposes.
Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Harry Potter might start exploring the Dark Arts not in an evil way but to understand his enemies better. He could learn some of the forgotten or forbidden spells to use them against Voldemort's more dangerous followers.
One potential consequence could be a change in his relationships. His friends might be worried or even turn against him. For example, Hermione, who is always concerned about following the rules and doing what's right, would likely be very troubled. Another consequence could be a shift in his own moral compass. The dark arts are often associated with negative and unethical actions, so he could start to make more morally ambiguous decisions.
A less obvious candidate could be a corrupted Dumbledore. Imagine if he was swayed by the allure of absolute power and became the dark king. It would be a huge twist as he is seen as a symbol of good in the original books.
It could be an original character created specifically for this fanfiction. Maybe a young wizard or witch who has always been an outcast in the wizarding world and discovers their unique ability to connect with dark dragons.
It's a complex issue. While the use of the Dark Arts by Harry Potter in fanfiction might seem unethical at first glance, it could be used to develop a more in - depth character study. For example, if a writer wants to explore how Harry could be corrupted or what would happen if he were pushed to the brink. But still, in the context of the original series, the Dark Arts are bad, and Harry using them would be a departure from his character's essence. So, in general, it's not really ethical.
In Harry Potter Dark Arts fanfiction, Voldemort is often a very popular character. His power and his connection to the Dark Arts make him a central figure in many stories. Another popular character is Severus Snape. His complex relationship with the Dark Arts and his dual nature of being both a potential ally of the Dark side and a hero on the side of good add a lot of depth to fanfictions. Bellatrix Lestrange is also popular as she is a fanatical follower of the Dark Arts.
Harry Potter himself is often a popular character in these fanfictions. His connection to Voldemort and his experience with the dark arts throughout the original series make him a natural choice for further exploration in fan - created stories. Writers can put him in different scenarios involving the dark arts, like facing new dark wizards or dealing with ancient dark arts relics.
It's fairly common. Fanfiction writers like to explore the 'what - if' scenarios. Since Harry Potter is a powerful wizard, exploring his use of dark arts adds an interesting twist to the story.
Sure, there could be such fanfiction. In fan - created stories, authors can play around with different ideas. But it's a very different take from the canonical 'Harry Potter'. Harry is usually portrayed as a hero who opposes Voldemort and all things related to the dark arts. If there are fanfictions where he practices the dark arts, they might explore how his relationships with his friends like Ron and Hermione would change. Also, it could show how the wizarding world as a whole would react to Harry turning to the dark side, which is a huge departure from the original story.
