In many fanfictions, Harry discovers a hidden ability within himself to stop time. This could be related to his connection with some ancient magic. Regarding the consequences, it could put him in a moral dilemma. If he uses this power to gain an advantage in a wizard duel, it might be considered cheating. Moreover, the wizarding world's time - keepers, like the Department of Mysteries, might take notice and try to stop him.
The consequences can be chaotic. It might lead to altered timelines. People could end up in the wrong era or at the wrong moment in history, changing the course of events in the wizarding world.
One interesting plot twist could be that when Harry stops time, he realizes he's not the only one with this power. Maybe Voldemort also has the ability but has been hiding it. Another could be that stopping time actually transports Harry to a parallel wizarding world where things are very different.
One consequence could be that memories are altered. People might forget certain events that happened before the time reset. For example, Voldemort's followers may not remember some of their evil deeds if those events are wiped out by the time reset.

There could be unforeseen magical consequences. Time - traveling is a tricky business in the wizarding world. By changing Sirius' fate, Harry might accidentally create new problems. For example, the balance of magic in certain areas could be disrupted. There might also be changes to the Hogwarts' community. Students and teachers who were affected by Sirius' situation in the original timeline might act differently.
Well, Harry Potter could stop the bullying in the fanfiction by using his Gryffindor courage. He'd directly confront the bullies. He might show them the error of their ways by telling them stories of how Voldemort's bullying led to his downfall. Harry could also offer protection to the victims. Maybe he'd give them some magical items for self - defense, like a charmed mirror that can alert him when they are in trouble. And he could encourage the bystanders to take a stand against bullying too, just as he inspired his classmates to fight against the Death Eaters during the Battle of Hogwarts.
A great fanfiction idea could be that James Potter time - travels during a crucial battle in the wizarding world. He travels back to a time when the dark forces were just starting to rise. With his future knowledge, he could start preparing the wizarding community earlier. He could train young wizards and witches in advanced defensive magic, and try to change the course of history so that the big battle he left behind would have a different, more positive outcome.
Hermione going back in time to stop Voldemort's ascension is a big task. She would need to study the past thoroughly. She might try to change the events that led to Voldemort creating his Horcruxes. For example, she could prevent him from getting the information about Horcruxes in the first place. She could also try to influence the people around young Tom Riddle, like his classmates and teachers, to not be swayed by his charm and instead see his darker side.
Harry Potter is a very resourceful wizard. He might first try to understand the nature of the Snap. He could use his invisibility cloak to get close to Thanos unnoticed. Then, he could use the power of the Elder Wand, which is the most powerful wand in the wizarding world. With a well - aimed spell from the Elder Wand, he could potentially break the connection Thanos has with the Infinity Stones and stop the Snap.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published on January 1, 1997.
