There are also fanfictions that focus on the relationships in a different light. For instance, a story where Harry forms a very close bond with a minor character like Neville early on and they end up being the main duo fighting against Voldemort. This changes the dynamics of the story as compared to the original books where Harry, Ron and Hermione were the central trio.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, there could be a group of magical bats that are guardians of an ancient Hogwarts secret. Harry, as he befriends them in his bat form, gets drawn into this mystery. These bats could have their own language and culture that Harry has to learn. For example, they might communicate through a series of ultrasonic sounds that only a bat - like Harry - can understand. This could lead to a whole new adventure for Harry, separate from the main battles against Voldemort but still relevant to the overall protection of the wizarding world.
One unique plot idea is time - travel. For example, a character going back in time to change a crucial event in the wizarding world. Another is the idea of a Muggle - born wizard creating a new form of magic that combines Muggle technology and wizardry. And there are also stories where characters from different Hogwarts houses have to team up in unexpected ways to face a common threat.
A plot idea could be that a group of Hogwarts students accidentally travel to the Avatar world. They are then forced to learn bending in order to survive and find their way back home. Along the way, they discover that there are some similarities between magic and bending, like how both require focus and discipline.
Some unique ideas could be that baby Harry has a special bond with magical creatures from a very young age. For instance, he might be able to communicate with Hedwig even as a baby, through some kind of magical telepathy. This could set up a whole different dynamic in the story.
One idea could be a character who uses Dirty Harry - like tactics to deal with the Death Eaters. For instance, being extremely direct and fearless in the face of danger, much like Dirty Harry in his movies.
How about a story where the magic in the Harry Potter world starts to fade, and they seek the help of Naruto and his chakra - based powers? Naruto then tries to find a way to restore the magic, and in the process, they discover a hidden connection between the two worlds that was long forgotten. This would involve a lot of exploration, both in terms of the physical worlds and the magical concepts in both universes.
A unique plot could be that the Issa Brothers have a special power that can break dark magic spells in the Harry Potter universe. They use this power to help Harry and his friends when they are trapped by Voldemort's dark magic.
One plot could be that Viper has a spell that can control minds, and she uses it on some of the Hogwarts students. Harry Potter discovers this and tries to find a way to break the spell. Loki, being the mischievous one, initially seems to be helping Viper but then has a change of heart and joins Harry to save the day.
Perhaps a story where Harry discovers a hidden connection between his parents and Alice Longbottom. Maybe his mother had a secret friendship with Alice, and through this connection, Harry uncovers a powerful magic or a long - forgotten prophecy that involves both of their families. This could lead to a whole new adventure where they have to work together to fulfill the prophecy and save the wizarding world. In this plot, they might have to face challenges not only from the dark side but also from the wizarding establishment that doesn't want the truth to be revealed.
One idea could be Harry going back in time to his parents' era at Hogwarts. He could try to prevent certain events that led to their deaths. Another could be him going back to the time of the founders of Hogwarts and getting involved in the creation of the houses and Hogwarts' early rules.
