The story would change significantly if Harry Potter goes to Salem in fanfiction. The cultural aspect would be a major factor. The Salem magical community might have different social norms and taboos. Harry would need to navigate these while trying to achieve whatever his goal is in Salem. Also, the power dynamics could be different. There might be a different hierarchy among the Salem witches and wizards. And the magical creatures in Salem could be unique, presenting new challenges and opportunities for Harry. He might also have to deal with the local magical authorities who may have different laws and regulations compared to the Ministry of Magic in his own world.
If Harry Potter goes to Salem in fanfiction, the story would take on a whole new dimension. Firstly, the magic system might be different. Salem's magic could be more earth - based or have different elemental aspects compared to Hogwarts. Secondly, the relationships he forms would be different. He could meet characters who are more superstitious or have a different view of good and evil. Thirdly, the overall plot could revolve around Salem's historical events, like the witch trials, and Harry might have to find a way to right the wrongs of the past in the context of the Salem magical community.
Well, he might encounter different kinds of magic there. Salem has its own history of witchcraft. Maybe he'll meet new witches and wizards who practice magic in a different way from what he's used to at Hogwarts. He could also discover new magical creatures or spells specific to the Salem area.
One possibility could be that Fem Harry Potter is sent to Salem for a magical exchange program. There, she discovers new forms of magic unique to Salem's witch community. She might make new friends and enemies alike as she tries to adapt to their different magical practices while also facing some challenges from the more traditional Hogwarts way of doing things.
There could be a young Salem witch named Lily. She befriends Fem Harry Potter and shows her around Salem. Lily could be very knowledgeable about the local magic and help Fem Harry Potter understand the differences between Hogwarts magic and Salem magic.
Obviously, Harry is one of the main characters. There could also be some original characters created specifically for the Salem setting, like a local witch who befriends Harry. And sometimes Hermione or Ron might make an appearance, especially if the story involves some sort of connection between Hogwarts and Salem.
One idea could be Harry making new friends in Salem who have different magical abilities than those he knew in Hogwarts. Another could be him encountering a unique magical creature native to Salem. Maybe he gets involved in a mystery related to an old Salem witch trial that has some lingering magic.
One common theme is the clash of different magical cultures. Salem's magic has its own characteristics, and when it meets the magic of the Harry Potter world, there can be misunderstandings and reconciliations.
If Harry was raised by good Salem witches and wizards, his view of magic would be very different. He might be more in tune with nature - based magic. His initial encounter with the wizarding world in Britain could be one of confusion as he'd be used to Salem's ways. For example, his use of a wand might be different or he might not rely on it as much. Also, his relationship with Voldemort would take on a new dimension. Instead of the typical British wizarding way of fighting him, Harry might bring in Salem's unique magical defenses and strategies.
With Ron, they might not be as close as they were at Hogwarts. Ron might be a bit jealous if Harry does really well in college. But on the other hand, they could also bond over missing Hogwarts and their old adventures.
At first, it would be extremely tense. Voldemort would be highly suspicious of Harry's motives. Harry, on the other hand, would be very cautious as he is approaching his mortal enemy. But as they start to interact more, there might be a grudging respect that develops if they find they have common goals.
One interesting 'Harry Potter Salem Fanfiction' could be those that explore the connection between the magical world of Harry Potter and the historical context of Salem. For example, some fanfictions might imagine how the Salem witch trials could have influenced the wizarding world in the Potter universe. Maybe there are witches from Salem who later migrated to the UK and interacted with the Hogwarts founders.
