The plot could involve a journey of self - discovery for Harry. Since he is the Son of Merlin, he might be drawn to certain places or artifacts associated with Merlin. There could be a mystery around his parentage that goes deeper than just being Merlin's son. Maybe there are secrets about Merlin that are hidden in the wizarding world, and Harry has to find them out. Along the way, he would have his friends like Ron and Hermione to support him, but also face enemies who want to use his new identity for their own evil purposes.
In this kind of fanfic, it could be that Harry's newfound relation to Merlin leads to him uncovering ancient magic that was previously unknown. He might have to deal with the wizarding world's reaction to his special status. Some characters may be jealous, while others may see him as a new hope. It could also involve him having to learn how to control the powers that come with being the 'Son of Merlin', which might be different from the magic he already knows.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different interpretations in fanfics. But generally, it might explore Harry Potter having a connection to Merlin, perhaps inheriting some of Merlin's powers or facing challenges related to that heritage.
Well, Harry Potter would be the main character of course, given that he is the 'Son of Merlin' in this fanfic. His friends Ron and Hermione are likely to be important characters too, as they are always by his side in the original series and would probably play significant roles here as well.
Well, it could be about a new character in the Harry Potter world who has the powers or the role similar to Merlin. Maybe this new character uses magic in a way that combines the traditional Harry Potter magic with the ancient and powerful magic associated with Merlin. For example, they might be able to perform spells that are long forgotten in the wizarding world but were common during Merlin's time.
The plot could potentially revolve around Merlin seeing something special in Harry Potter. As Merlin is from the time of the founders, he might have his own reasons for getting involved. He could introduce Harry to the magical world in a completely different way than Hogwarts did. For example, instead of the traditional Hogwarts curriculum, Harry might learn more about the origins of magic, how the founders built Hogwarts, and Merlin could also share his own experiences and wisdom with Harry, which would give Harry an edge in his fight against the Dark Arts and Voldemort.
Well, there are several implications. Firstly, his magical abilities might be enhanced in ways not seen in the original series. Given Merlin's reputation as one of the most powerful wizards ever, Harry could inherit extraordinary powers. Secondly, his place in the wizarding world's history would be completely rewritten. Instead of being just the Boy Who Lived, he would be part of an even more ancient and powerful lineage. This could also lead to changes in his relationships with other characters. For example, Dumbledore might treat him differently, perhaps being more cautious or more eager to train him in certain aspects of magic. Also, it could introduce new elements of mystery and danger, as there might be secrets about Merlin's past that now directly affect Harry.
Yes, in certain fanfictions. Fanfiction often takes well - known characters from different fictional universes or timelines and weaves them together in new and unexpected ways. The idea of Harry Potter being Merlin's son could stem from a desire to explore new magical lineages, combine the magic of the Arthurian legend with that of the wizarding world of Harry Potter, or simply create a more complex and unique backstory for Harry. This can lead to some really interesting stories that deviate from the original canon but still capture the essence of the magical worlds.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different takes in fanfics. But generally, it might involve Harry having a divine heritage as the son of a goddess. This could lead to him having special powers or a different destiny compared to the original Harry Potter story.
In such a fanfic, perhaps Harry would learn ancient and powerful magic. Merlin could teach him spells long forgotten in the wizarding world of Harry's time. Harry might gain an even deeper understanding of magic and its origins, becoming an even more formidable wizard.
Perhaps the fanfic's plot involves a character who is unknowingly Merlin's apprentice. They start having strange dreams about Merlin guiding them. As they explore these dreams, they learn skills like time - traveling magic which Merlin was known for. They then use this ability to go back in time and change certain events in the wizarding world's history for the better, all while trying to keep it a secret from the other Hogwarts students and faculty.
A possible plot is that Merlin disguises himself as an ordinary wizard at Hogwarts and secretly mentors Harry. He could introduce Harry to magical creatures that have long been forgotten in the modern wizarding world but hold great power. He also might help Harry unlock some latent magical abilities within him that are related to Merlin's own magic, like the ability to communicate with magical spirits that can offer valuable advice in the battle against Voldemort.
In this fanfic, the daughter could be from a long - lost line of powerful wizards. The Staff of Merlin is a key element in her journey. She might start off not knowing about her heritage or the power of the staff. Harry Potter could cross paths with her when she accidentally uncovers the staff. Then they team up to prevent the staff from falling into the wrong hands. There could be a lot of magic, mystery, and adventure as they face different magical creatures and dark forces trying to steal the staff.
