One idea could be a story where the characters from 'Harry Potter' and 'The Magicians' universes somehow cross paths. Maybe the Brakebills students end up at Hogwarts for a magical exchange program. They could learn different types of magic from each other and have some friendly (or not so friendly) competitions.
Well, a plot could involve a dark magician who has a secret connection to Harry's family. Maybe this dark magician was wronged by the Potters long ago and now wants revenge. This could lead to a complex story where Harry has to uncover the truth about his family's past while also dealing with the dark magician's schemes. The dark magician might also try to manipulate the wizarding world's politics to gain more power and make it easier to target Harry.
One idea could be that Quentin Coldwater from 'The Magicians' accidentally travels to the world of Harry Potter. He could be mistaken for a new exchange student at Hogwarts. He might try to use his Brakebills knowledge, like his unique spellcasting techniques, which would both amaze and confuse the Hogwarts students.
One idea could be that the characters from 'The Magicians' end up at Hogwarts for a magical exchange program. They'd have to adapt to the different magical rules and culture there. For example, Quentin might be fascinated by the concept of houses at Hogwarts, while Eliot could get into trouble for trying to introduce some of his more 'adult' magic tricks from Brakebills.
A great plot for a Potter Manor fanfiction could involve a mystery that surrounds the manor. For instance, strange noises at night lead Harry to uncover a long - forgotten chamber. It could also be about Harry restoring the manor to its former glory, perhaps with the help of Hermione's research on ancient magic used in the construction of such manors.
One interesting plot idea could be exploring what would happen if Harry had a different upbringing, like being raised by the Malfoys. It would completely change his view of the wizarding world and his relationships. Another idea might be a time - travel fanfic where Harry goes back to the Marauders' era and interacts with his parents and their friends. This could lead to him preventing certain tragedies or changing the future in unexpected ways. And then there's the concept of a fanfic where the roles are reversed, and Voldemort is the one trying to protect the wizarding world from a greater evil, with Harry being the main antagonist.
One idea could be exploring an alternate universe where the main characters have different magical abilities. For example, Quentin could have the power to control time instead of his usual skills. Another idea is to focus on a relationship that was only hinted at in the original, like a deeper connection between Eliot and Margo during their time at Brakebills. You could also create a fanfiction where the characters have to face a new, never - before - seen magical threat that forces them to use their powers in unexpected ways.
One idea could be Harry Potter using his wizard skills in a boxing ring in a unique way. For example, he might use a levitation charm to dodge punches or use a stunning spell on his opponent's gloves to make them heavier. Another could be a story where the wizarding world has its own boxing league and Harry has to compete against other magical beings like werewolves or giants in the ring.
An enchanter in a fanfiction could create a spell that allows them to communicate with portraits in a way that has never been done before. For example, they could get advice from portraits of long - dead headmasters on how to deal with the current political situation in the wizarding world. Another plot might be that an enchanter is able to enchant the Sorting Hat to sort students based on their future potential rather than their current characteristics. This could lead to some students being placed in houses that they never expected. And finally, an enchanter could be working on a spell to make the Hogwarts Express invisible during its journey, but things go wrong and the train starts to disappear and reappear at random intervals, causing panic among the students.
One idea could be that Amara is a new student at Hogwarts with a special power to communicate with magical creatures in a way no one else can. Harry discovers this and they team up to solve a mystery involving a group of sickly unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
One idea could be a wedding between a wizard from Gryffindor and a witch from Slytherin, which could cause a stir among the Hogwarts alumni. They might have to overcome the old prejudices of their houses. Another could be a wedding set during a time of peace after the battle of Hogwarts, with characters like Harry and Ginny as guests, and the wedding could incorporate a lot of traditional wizarding wedding elements like flying doves made of light magic.
