It's hard to say for sure, but it could be a new witch character who is at the center of the story. Maybe a young witch who has just come to Hogwarts and stumbles upon the secret. There could also be older, more experienced witches who play a key role in either protecting or trying to expose the secret. They might be characters we haven't seen much in the original series but are now given more depth in this fanfic.
The main characters could be a group of witches from different houses at Hogwarts. They might come together because of the secret. One could be a brave Gryffindor witch, another a clever Ravenclaw witch, and a third a cunning Slytherin witch. Their different personalities and house traits could add to the drama as they try to deal with the witches' secret in the fanfic.
Since it's a fanfic, the main characters could be original witches created by the author. Or it might focus on some of the known witches from the Harry Potter series like Hermione (although she's a witch - wizard hybrid in a way), and expand on their stories in relation to the secret.
Hermione Granger could be one of the main witches. She's extremely intelligent and powerful, and in the fanfiction, she might be involved in some secret magical research or adventures.
I'm not sure specifically as it's a fanfic. It might be about some secret that the witches in the Harry Potter world hold. Maybe it could involve a hidden magic, a clandestine society of witches, or a mystery related to a particular witch character.
Harry Potter would likely be one of the main characters, as it is related to the Harry Potter universe. And of course, the witches in the coven would be main characters too. Maybe there's a head witch who leads the coven and plays a significant role in the story.
Well, in secret fanfic, witches often have unique magical abilities that are not fully explored in the original books. For example, they might be able to perform rare spells related to nature or mind - reading. Some fanfics might show witches with a deeper connection to the magical creatures, like being able to communicate with them on a more profound level. It gives a new perspective on the witches in the Harry Potter universe.
There's 'The Witches of Hogwarts Unveiled' which delves deep into the lives of the witches at Hogwarts. It shows their secret meetings and the spells they practice away from the prying eyes of the professors. Another one is 'Secret Societies of Witchcraft in Harry Potter World' which focuses on different groups of witches and their unique magical practices.
In many Harry Potter fanfics about the Witches of Salem, they are often portrayed as a mysterious and ancient group. They might be shown as having different magical practices compared to the witches in the Harry Potter universe. Some fanfics could depict them as having a more primal or earth - based magic, perhaps with stronger connections to nature and local folklore.
One interesting aspect could be the exploration of the witches' unique magic that might not be fully shown in the original series. For example, they could have secret spells or ways of using magic related to their femininity.
Obviously, Harry would be one of the main characters. He is the central figure in the Hogwarts world. Hermione and Ron could also play significant roles as they are Harry's closest friends and are often involved in his adventures.
I don't know for sure as I haven't read this particular fanfic. But it could have the main character be an original creation with the 'lionheart' trait, or it might center around a well - known Harry Potter character like Harry himself with some new 'lionheart' - inspired story arc.
Well, in many Harry Potter fanfics, even those named 'the change', the main characters often include Harry, Hermione, and Ron. However, depending on what the 'change' is about, new characters could be introduced or existing minor characters could be promoted to main character status. For example, if the change is about the Slytherin house becoming more inclusive, we might see Draco Malfoy taking on a more central role in the story, along with the usual trio.
