A major theme is also the exploration of a darker wizarding world. In these fanfictions, the world is not the bright and hopeful place we see in the original series. It's full of fear, oppression, and despair. For instance, magic may be used for more sinister purposes. And the relationships between characters are often strained and complex. There are no clear - cut good or bad sides like in the original, as people are just trying to survive in a harsh world.
One key theme is survival. Harry has to find ways to stay alive in a world dominated by Voldemort. Another theme is resistance. He often tries to resist the Dark Lord's rule in secret.
The theme of self - discovery is also prominent. Harry has to figure out who he is and what he can do in this new, difficult situation. He may not have the same support system as in the original story, so he has to rely on himself more. He discovers new aspects of his magic and his own strength while facing the challenges of a world where Voldemort won at his birth.
One great 'Cold Harry Potter WBWL' fanfiction is 'The Boy Who Lived Again'. It shows a darker and more complex wizarding world under Voldemort's rule. Harry has to hide his true identity and find a way to fight back.
Another theme is gender roles. It shows how a female in the position of the 'Boy Who Lived' challenges the traditional gender roles in the wizarding society. This can be seen in how she interacts with male and female characters, and how she's treated by others. In some fanfics, she has to fight against the preconceived notions of what a female can and can't do in the magical world.
Survival is a huge theme. In a world where Voldemort has won, Tonks and other characters are just trying to survive. They have to find ways to avoid being caught by the Death Eaters or Voldemort's other minions. Also, the theme of hope is prevalent. Even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope that the situation can be reversed, and Tonks usually embodies that hope. The fanfictions often show how she clings to that hope and tries to spread it among others.
Power is also a common theme. In these fanfictions, the WBWL character may have different powers or a different way of using magic compared to Harry. They might have to learn to control and use their power in a world that has certain expectations based on what Harry Potter could do. And family plays a role too. How the character's family, whether it's their birth family or the family they find along the way, affects their journey in this alternate scenario is often explored.
One common theme is identity. Since the main character is a female Harry in a world where things have changed due to Voldemort marking Neville instead, she has to figure out who she is in this new context. Another theme is friendship. How her relationships with characters like Ron and Hermione might be different. For example, in some fics, the female Harry might have a closer bond with Hermione as they can relate more as girls.
Character development is also important. In a crossover, characters from different universes or altered Harry Potter characters need to be believable. Their growth and interactions should make sense within the new story framework. For instance, if there's a crossover with a character from another magical world, how they adapt to Hogwarts' environment.
In 'Harry Potter Master of Death WBWL' fanfiction, themes like self - discovery are prevalent. Harry has to figure out what it means to be the Master of Death and how it ties in with his WBWL identity. Family also becomes an important theme. He might explore his family history in a new light, given his unique position. Additionally, the battle between good and evil is often reimagined. His power as the Master of Death can change the dynamics of the fight against Voldemort, and this is a theme that many fanfiction authors like to play around with.
Well, in a lot of these fanfictions, a common theme is the clash of cultures. Harry coming from what is seen as a 'good' Gryffindor - type background into Slytherin. There's also the theme of secrecy. Slytherin is often associated with secrecy, and Harry might have to keep certain things about himself hidden. And then there's the theme of transformation. Harry is transformed not only by the Sorting Hat's decision but also by the experiences and relationships he has within the Slytherin house.
One common theme is self - discovery. Harry realizes he has these unique powers and has to figure out how to use them. Another is the idea of being an outcast, as his wandless magic may not be fully understood by others. For example, some characters in the fanfiction might be suspicious or jealous of his abilities.
