The backstories. The Marauders' backstories are so rich and intertwined with Harry's world. For example, Remus Lupin being a werewolf and his relationship with the other Marauders. Also, the fact that Harry inherits the Marauders' Map. All these things create a connection that gives it a fanfiction - like feel.
There are several factors. First, the relationships. Harry's connection to Sirius and the stories of James Potter and his friends are important. Second, the mystery. The secrets of the Marauders, like how they created the Marauders' Map, add to the fanfiction - like quality. Third, the way their actions in the past affect Harry's present, such as how the actions of James and his friends led to certain events in Harry's life at Hogwarts. All these elements combined make Harry Potter seem like a Marauder fanfiction.
The characters themselves. The Marauders were a group of interesting and complex characters. Their pranks, their loyalty to each other, and their roles in the wizarding world are all fascinating. When you consider how these aspects are related to Harry's story, like how Sirius helps Harry and how the legacy of the Marauders is carried on through Harry, it gives the impression that Harry Potter could be a form of Marauder fanfiction.
The setting. Hogwarts is a school for wizards, which is similar to the types of institutions often found in mage fanfiction. It's a place where young magic - users learn and develop their skills. Also, the existence of a hidden magical world parallel to the Muggle world is a common trope in mage - related fictional works.
There are several elements that make Harry Potter seem like Sherlock Holmes fanfiction. Firstly, the idea of a hero on a journey to uncover the truth. Harry's journey to defeat Voldemort involves unravelling many mysteries. Secondly, the use of clues and evidence. In Harry Potter, there are often small details that Harry and his friends pick up on to progress in their mission, similar to how Holmes uses clues to solve cases. And finally, the sense of a larger world with many hidden aspects waiting to be discovered, whether it's the wizarding world or the seedy underbelly of London in Sherlock Holmes stories.
Honestly, there's no valid reason to think Harry Potter could be Beetlejuice fanfiction. The Harry Potter series has a deep lore that is firmly rooted in the wizarding world, from the creation of the Philosopher's Stone to the fight against Voldemort. Beetlejuice has its own wacky and unique story that has no relation to the magical institutions and events in Harry Potter. It's just a completely baseless idea that has no real elements to support it.
There's really no good reason for it to be misconstrued as such. They are completely different. Maybe someone who is very confused about different fictional universes might make such a strange claim, but there are no elements in Harry Potter that could realistically be related to Autobots.
Well, it can be seen as such. The Marauders era is full of mystery and adventure that is intertwined with Harry's story. The fanfiction aspect comes in as fans often expand on the Marauders' exploits. Harry Potter's story has many elements that are connected to the Marauders. For instance, the Marauders' Map is a key item that Harry and his friends use. This connection makes it feel like the whole Harry Potter series has some elements of being a Marauder fanfiction.
Well, on the surface, both deal with elements of magic and fantasy. But that's about it. The magic in Harry Potter is very structured and has a whole system behind it, while Grimm's Fairy Tales have a more folktale - like magic. Also, the characters in Harry Potter are developed over a long series, which is not the case in Grimm's Fairy Tales. So overall, there's no real reason for it to seem like a Grimm Fanfic.
Their mutual understanding. Harry often feels out of place and Luna, who is also an outsider in a way, gets him. She doesn't judge his experiences with Voldemort and the Death Eaters as something strange.
Well, 'Harry Potter' has a very elaborate and self - contained magic system. From the use of wands to the study of various spells at Hogwarts, it's a world of its own. 'Genesis' doesn't have any such parallel elements. The themes of 'Harry Potter' like friendship, courage, and the fight against evil are also very different from what 'Genesis' typically represents. So it's really absurd to claim that 'Harry Potter' is a fanfiction of 'Genesis'.
Perhaps a very novice reader or viewer who has a very loose understanding of what fanfiction is might make such a wrong assumption. But if you analyze the two series in depth, you'll find that Harry Potter has its own rich tapestry of magic, family, and friendship, and Superman has his own lore of being an alien and a superhero. There is no aspect of Harry Potter that is borrowed or based on Superman in a way that would make it a fanfiction.
One factor could be the power levels. If the fanfiction writer wants to boost Naruto's power in a new and different way, they might draw inspiration from Kaygua's power characteristics. So Naruto ends up with some traits that make him seem like Kaygua.
