In this kind of fanfiction, the story dynamic changes drastically. Emotions are what make Harry Potter's story so engaging. Without them, the story becomes more of a mechanical sequence of events. For instance, when Harry is chosen for the Triwizard Tournament, instead of feeling a mix of surprise, pride and a bit of dread, he would just go through the motions. His friendships would lack the warmth and depth that comes from shared emotions. The battles against the dark forces would also lack the emotional tension that makes the original story so exciting.
Well, if Harry Potter doesn't have emotions in the fanfiction, it would make the story much more robotic. The relationships he has with his friends like Ron and Hermione would be very different. There would be no emotional depth to their interactions. For example, when they face challenges together, instead of having the normal fear, excitement or determination, Harry would just act in a very matter - of - fact way, which would take away a lot of the heart and soul from the story.
The overall story dynamic would become quite strange. Since emotions play a huge role in decision - making, Harry's actions would seem random or at least not driven by the normal things that make a character relatable. Without emotions, his reactions to things like Voldemort's threats or the discovery of new magical abilities would be flat. It would be like watching a series of events happen without any real connection to the character. The story would lose its charm and the readers' ability to empathize with Harry.
The relationship between Harry and the Gryffindor house is likely to be strained. Since Gryffindor is the namesake of the house Harry belongs to, this lack of forgiveness could cause a rift among the students. Some might side with Harry, while others might defend Gryffindor's legacy, creating internal conflicts within the house.
Well, it completely flips the good - guy - vs - bad - guy dynamic. Harry was seen as the hero, the one who was going to save the wizarding world. If Hermione kills him, it throws the whole prophecy and the fight against Voldemort into chaos. It's like the rug has been pulled out from under the story's foundation.
The relationships in the story are affected too. Harry's relationship with Dumbledore would become strained. Other characters who are loyal to Dumbledore might also turn against Harry. And Harry might form new alliances with characters who also have doubts about Dumbledore's leadership in this fanfiction.
The dynamic becomes very strained. Harry's lack of trust in Ron means that their usual banter and easy camaraderie is gone. Hermione will be stressed because she values both of their friendships. She may end up spending more time with Harry to try to help him through his doubts, which could make Ron jealous. Ron, on the other hand, might become defensive and start acting out, which only makes Harry trust him less. This could lead to a cycle of misunderstandings and a breakdown of their friendship triangle.
Well, it makes him seem more complex. In the original stories, Harry is often seen as a family - oriented person. But in this fanfiction, it shows that he can be a character with flaws and different emotions. It gives him a more human side, not just the hero who always loves and protects his family.
In fanfiction, Astoria can also be a catalyst for change in the political and social aspects of the wizarding world. Coming from a well - known Slytherin family, she might have influence. If she teams up with Harry, they could work towards reforming the Ministry of Magic. Her presence can make the story explore themes like redemption for Slytherin - related characters and breaking down the long - standing prejudices between houses and different wizarding families.
The relationships that Harry was supposed to form later in life, like his friendships with Ron and Hermione, would never happen. And the whole wizarding world would be different. Without Harry, there might not be someone to stand up to Voldemort in the same way. So, the power balance in the wizarding world would be completely shifted. Also, the mystery around Harry's scar and his connection to Voldemort would be left unresolved in a way that leaves the story with a sense of incompleteness.
It completely flips the traditional dynamic. Usually, Harry is seen as the defiant hero against Voldemort. But if he bows, it makes Voldemort seem even more powerful and in control. It also makes Harry look weak, at least on the surface.
Well, it changes a lot. For one thing, the whole dynamic of Hogwarts would be different. Harry would be more alone without Ron by his side. He would have to find new allies and support systems, which would mean new friendships would form that were not in the original story.
It could introduce a new and different perspective. Most of the time, Gryffindor is seen as a heroic figure, but this fanfiction challenges that view. It might make other fanfiction writers explore the idea of the founders not being as perfect as they seem.
