The theme of self - discovery is also common. Characters in fanfiction might find themselves in new and strange situations (like a Hogwarts student in Middle - earth or vice versa), and through these experiences, they learn more about themselves, their powers, and their place in the world. This is very much in line with the character development we see in the original 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter' books.
One common theme is the power of friendship. In both original works, friendship plays a huge role, and in fanfiction, it's often explored further. For example, in crossovers, characters from both universes form new friendships based on shared values.
Another theme is the battle between good and evil. Fanfictions often expand on this, like creating new dark lords or villains that the characters from both 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter' have to face together. They might explore different strategies and alliances in the fight against this new evil.
One common theme is the adventure. Just like in the original works, characters from both universes often embark on grand adventures together. For example, Harry Potter characters might join the Fellowship of the Ring on their quest.
One common theme is the clash of different magic systems. Harry Potter's magic is more about spells and potions, while the magic in Lord of the Rings is more ethereal. Another is the idea of a hero's journey. Both universes have characters on quests, and these fanfictions often combine those journeys.
Many fanfiction writers are attracted to dragons in these universes because they are such iconic and powerful creatures. In the context of combining Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, a dragon could be a bridge between the two worlds, maybe a dragon that was once in Middle - earth but somehow ended up in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, creating all sorts of interesting storylines.
One common theme is power. As Lord Potter, Harry has more power, and fanfictions often explore how he uses or misuses it. Another is identity, as he has to adapt to this new title.
One idea could be a crossover where the characters from Harry Potter are transported to Middle - earth. For example, Harry could meet Aragorn and they could exchange knowledge about magic and leadership. Harry's magic could be a new and strange power in Middle - earth, and Aragorn's warrior skills and wisdom could inspire Harry.
Dragons in these fanfictions can also represent power. In Harry Potter, a dragon might be a symbol of the raw, unbridled power that wizards have to control. In Lord of the Rings, a dragon's power could be related to the balance of good and evil in Middle - earth. If a dragon is awakened, it could tip the scales in the wrong direction, or if it's tamed, it could be a great asset to the good side.
One common theme is self - discovery. Many original characters in the fanfiction are on a journey to find out who they are in the context of Middle - earth. For example, an OC might be a human with some elven blood and they are trying to understand both parts of their heritage.
One common theme is the clash of different natures. Vampires, with their need for blood and immortality, are different from the races in Middle - earth. So, there's often a theme of how they are accepted or rejected. For example, elves might view them as abominations while humans might be more divided.
One common theme is the clash of different powers. The high - tech powers of the Avengers against the magic in Middle - earth.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. For example, when Middle - earth characters meet those from other fictional worlds, there are often misunderstandings at first due to different values and ways of life.
