Well, a great plot for Harry Potter's life fanfiction could be that Harry decides to take a year off from Hogwarts after the war to travel the wizarding world and learn about different cultures. He could meet new characters and form unexpected alliances. Also, a story where Harry has to deal with the long - term effects of the Horcrux inside him, not just the physical but also the mental and emotional toll. Or what if Harry found out he had a long - lost relative who was a powerful wizard and that changed his perspective on his own identity.
One idea could be that the characters play the Game of Life in a magical version of the game. For example, instead of normal jobs, they have wizarding careers like Auror or Potions Master. Another could be that the choices in the game have real - world consequences in the wizarding world, like choosing a certain path leading to new spells or magical abilities. And perhaps the characters' relationships are affected by the game, such as friends becoming rivals based on game moves.
One interesting plot idea could be that Harry discovers a new magical ability that was hidden from him all along. Maybe he can communicate with magical creatures in a much deeper way, like having full conversations with thestrals.
Maybe in this fanfiction, Harry's parents didn't die. He would grow up with them, and his character would be much more confident and less haunted by the past. This could result in him being more of a social butterfly at Hogwarts, and perhaps he would focus more on academic achievements and less on the fight against Voldemort. He might also have a different role in the wizarding community, not as the 'Chosen One' but as someone with a more normal upbringing.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, the story explores how relationships from his past life are rekindled in the next. For example, his friendship with Ron and Hermione could have a new dimension as they meet again in different circumstances. And the concept of how his enemies from the past might be different or the same in his new life can also be a great plot. He might face new challenges related to his past actions and how they ripple through time.
Maybe in this fanfiction, Harry gets a chance to relive his life at Hogwarts, but with all his memories intact. He uses this knowledge to befriend characters who were previously his enemies, like Draco Malfoy, and together they uncover a long - hidden secret about Hogwarts that changes everything. He might also use his future knowledge to prevent some of the tragedies that occurred in the original series.
One idea could be that the characters gain experience points for every magical feat they achieve, like when Harry masters a new spell, he gets points to level up his magical abilities. Another could be that Hogwarts is turned into a game arena where different houses compete in magical challenges with real - world rewards within the game world.
One idea could be a Muggle-born wizard who tries to hide their magical abilities in Muggle society while also secretly helping other wizards in need. For example, they could use magic subtly to fix things around their Muggle neighborhood, like making a broken streetlight work again without anyone suspecting it was magic.
A really interesting plot could be that Harry, after the defeat of Voldemort, decides to go undercover in the wizarding underworld to root out any remaining dark wizards. He has to change his appearance and assume a new identity. Along the way, he discovers a conspiracy that is much larger than he expected. He also meets some characters who are on the fence between good and evil and has to decide whether to trust them or not. This would be a very thrilling and different kind of story for Harry.
Another plot could revolve around Harry's Occlumency lessons. In fanfiction, it could be that instead of just trying to block his mind from Voldemort, he actually manages to use Occlumency to his advantage. He could start to plant false thoughts in Voldemort's mind through their connection, leading Voldemort astray in his plans.
Perhaps Harry's sister was kidnapped as a baby and raised by Death Eaters. She grows up believing in their cause until she discovers the truth about her family. This creates an internal struggle for her. She has to break free from the indoctrination and find a way to reconnect with Harry and the good side. Along the way, she might use the dark magic she was taught in a new and unexpected way to defeat Voldemort, like using a curse against him that he never expected because it was one of his own teachings.
