Perhaps the creator has a different view on the character's potential. They might think that Harry, with all his power and the traumas he has faced, could have been pushed in a different direction. But really, it's a very different take from the original story's intention. The original story is about hope and redemption, while this fanfiction concept seems to be more about a darker, more violent alternative that might not sit well with most fans of the series.
It could be a form of exploring a darker side of a character. Maybe the author is interested in seeing how Harry Potter, who is typically seen as a hero, would function in a more morally ambiguous role. They might be exploring concepts of power, corruption, and the consequences of taking a different path. However, this still goes against the general spirit of the original series.
Some might create it just for shock value. They want to break the norms of the well - known Harry Potter universe and get people talking. It's a way to be edgy and different from the typical fanfiction that stays closer to the original themes.
Maybe some people just want to be edgy. They think by combining such a well - known and positive franchise like Harry Potter with a dark and infamous figure like Jack the Ripper, they can create something unique and shock - value - based.
Some authors might create it as an exercise in 'what - if' scenarios. They want to break the established narrative and see how different characters would react if Harry was killed so early. Also, it could be a way to explore the Dursleys' characters more deeply, showing just how far their hatred for Harry could go.
One reason could be that the creators of such fanfiction are die - hard Snape fans. They might feel that Snape is the most interesting and underappreciated character in the 'Harry Potter' series. So, they create fanfiction where Harry Potter, who they may see as getting too much attention in the original, is not as great, to put more focus on Snape.
Some people might do it for shock value. They want to create something that is completely different from the original and get a reaction from others.
One reason could be a powerful dark magic spell cast upon him by a new villain in the fanfiction world. This spell might be designed to make him disappear from the wizarding world entirely.
One possible reason could be that a powerful dark magic spell has been cast on him. Maybe a new dark wizard or witch, created specifically for the fanfiction, has found a way to make him vanish to cause chaos in the wizarding world. Another reason might be that Harry has chosen to disappear himself. Tired of the constant attention and danger, he decides to go into hiding, perhaps using some long - forgotten magic or a powerful magical object to conceal his presence.
Maybe he's curious about different interpretations of his own story. In fanfictions, his character might be in new and exciting adventures that the original books didn't cover.
It could also be an exploration of a dark 'what - if' scenario. Maybe the writer wants to see how the story would unfold if Ginny had a sudden and drastic change in character. Another possibility is that it's a form of creative rebellion against the typical, positive portrayal of their relationship in the original series.
One possible reason could be that he has been through so much in his original adventures that he's just tired. He might feel like he's constantly being put in new, often contrived, situations in the fanfiction and he simply wants to step away from all the chaos and drama.
Well, it could be a result of a dark spell cast on him by a Death Eater. Maybe they found a new and insidious way to harm him without leaving an obvious trace.
