If Harry was replaced with a deer, his grace and speed could play a big role. In the Triwizard Tournament, instead of using magic to get through the tasks, he could use his deer - like abilities. He could jump over obstacles and run really fast. And in the face of danger, like when Voldemort is around, he could use his ability to blend into the forest, since deer are good at camouflage in their natural habitats. This would completely shift the way battles and challenges are faced in the story.
The plot would change a lot. If Harry was a dog, for instance. His loyalty would be even more pronounced. He might be more likely to follow his friends into dangerous situations without question. Also, the way he approaches challenges would be different. Instead of using magic wands and spells, he might rely on his animal instincts like a strong sense of smell to track down things. This could lead to different solutions for the mysteries in the story.
Let's say Harry was a raven. Ravens are often associated with mystery and intelligence. A raven - Harry would be able to fly around Hogwarts and spy on the bad guys more easily. His communication might be in caws and clicks which could be a code that only certain people or animals in the wizarding world could understand. The plot would then revolve around decoding his messages and using his unique perspective from the air to uncover secrets. For example, he could discover hidden passages or the whereabouts of Horcruxes by observing from above.
Well, it could be really interesting. For example, if Harry was replaced with a cat. The cat could have special powers like being able to see things that are hidden from normal view. It could slink around Hogwarts, getting into all sorts of nooks and crannies that a human Harry couldn't. And the way it would interact with other characters would be different too. Hermione might be constantly trying to keep the cat - Harry out of trouble, while Ron might find the cat's antics both annoying and endearing.
In this fanfic, the shrub could take on the role of Harry Potter in the Triwizard Tournament. Instead of Harry facing the challenges, it's the shrub. Picture the shrub being carried by the dragons or trying to swim in the lake for the second task. It would be a comical and absurd sight.
A swordsman could change the plot by adding a new element of combat. For instance, if there was a powerful swordsman on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, they could engage in more direct physical battles against Voldemort's forces. Instead of relying solely on magic, they could cut through enemy lines with a sword, which would be a different approach compared to the usual magical duels.
Well, it could completely disrupt the relationships. For instance, his friendship with Ron and Hermione might be strained as they try to convince him to stay. This is different from the original where they are all united in their Hogwarts experience.
His decision to leave the Dursleys can make the plot deviate in many ways. In fanfic, it could mean that he doesn't have to wait for the official Hogwarts invitation. He might seek out the wizarding world on his own. This could lead to him encountering different characters or facing different challenges earlier. Also, his departure might make the Dursleys more or less relevant in the overall story. If they are no longer a factor, then new antagonists or plot elements need to be introduced to keep the story interesting.
Well, a 'Harry raised by Andromeda' fanfic can completely transform the original story's plot. Andromeda, being a Black, has her own connections and knowledge of the wizarding world. She can introduce Harry to different aspects of magic and magical families that he might not have known otherwise. His growth as a wizard is different. He may not rely as much on his friends for emotional support as he gets it all at home. This can change the dynamics of his friendships at Hogwarts. Also, in the battle against Voldemort, Harry may have different resources and allies due to Andromeda's influence.
A lot. For starters, Harry's family tree would be completely different. His relationship with Dumbledore might also change as Dumbledore's actions were often based on Harry's connection to his parents. Also, the whole idea of the prophecy would need to be re - evaluated as the supposed 'enemy' is now his father. It would turn the concept of the 'chosen one' on its head.
A fanfic with Cedric and Harry as brothers would change the Hogwarts experience for both of them. They could share a dormitory or have special family - related privileges at school. Their bond as brothers would likely make them more of a united front against the likes of Voldemort. Instead of Harry being the sole focus of Voldemort's attention, Cedric would also be in the crosshairs. This would lead to different strategies and plot developments. The Weasley family might interact with them differently too, as they would be related to Harry in a different way. And the relationship between Harry and Cho Chang (who was Cedric's girlfriend) would be completely reimagined, adding a whole new layer of complexity to the story.
First of all, the entire backstory of Harry's family would be different. In the original, he has the loving memory of his parents, James and Lily Potter. If he was Azazel's son, that family connection would be erased. His place at Hogwarts might also be affected. His relationships with his friends, like Ron and Hermione, would likely be different as well. They might view him with suspicion or his new origin could create a rift. His relationship with Dumbledore would also need to be re - thought, as Dumbledore's guidance was based on Harry's original heritage. Overall, it would be a radical departure from the original story.
It could change his story by giving him an edge in battles. For instance, if he had a Millennium Item that could foresee the future like the Millennium Eye, he could better plan his strategies against Voldemort.
