In terms of the overall plot, the fight against Voldemort would lack the central hero. New heroes would have to emerge from the ranks of the students and teachers. The story could focus on how the wizarding community as a whole comes together to face Voldemort, rather than relying on one chosen boy. It could explore different magical abilities and strategies that were not as prominent in the original story because of Harry's unique role.
The relationships between the characters would also change. For instance, Ron and Hermione might not become as close as they did because the bond they formed through their adventures with Harry wouldn't exist. And Snape might not have the same complex relationship with anyone, as his deep - seated feelings towards Harry's mother would not be transferred in the same way to another character.
The story would be drastically different. Without Harry, there's no Boy - Who - Lived to be the main antagonist to Voldemort. Hogwarts might not be the safe haven it was in the original series. Voldemort could target the school more directly, and the students would live in constant fear.
Godric Gryffindor's view might not change much. He'd still see Hogwarts as a place to foster courage, but he might gain new insights from the fanfiction about how students in modern - day interpretations uphold that value. Salazar Slytherin could become more cynical. If he saw his house being misrepresented in some fanfictions as all - evil, he might think Hogwarts has strayed from his original intentions. Helga Hufflepuff would probably feel more positive. The fanfiction that emphasizes kindness and hard work would make her believe Hogwarts is still a great place for nurturing good values. Rowena Ravenclaw might be more open - minded. She'd see different perspectives on Hogwarts in the fanfiction and might consider new ways of teaching and learning in her view of the school.
If Harry killed before Hogwarts, he would likely be much more withdrawn and guilt - ridden. His innocence, which is a big part of his initial character, would be shattered. He might be more hesitant to trust others and be less eager to embrace the wizarding world when he finally gets to Hogwarts.
The story would change drastically. Firstly, his friends like Hermione and Ron would be very worried and might try to convince him to come back. Without Harry at Hogwarts, the school's safety could be at risk as he was seen as a key protector. Also, Harry's education would take a different turn. He might learn magic in a more unorthodox way, which could make him stronger or more unpredictable. His relationship with the wizarding community would also be affected as Hogwarts was a central institution.
In fanfiction, Harry Potter can change Hogwarts in a multitude of ways. His unique position as the Boy Who Lived gives him a certain influence. He may use his fame and power to bring about changes in the curriculum. For example, he could push for more practical defense against the dark arts training, considering his own battles. His relationships, like his close bond with Hermione and Ron, could also lead to changes. They might start study groups or clubs that become popular at Hogwarts, changing the extracurricular landscape. Moreover, his encounters with different magical creatures could result in new courses or research areas at Hogwarts. All these elements contribute to the transformation of Hogwarts in fanfiction.
The whole dynamic at Hogwarts would be disrupted. His friends would be worried sick. Ron and Hermione would probably set out to find him. Without Harry, Hogwarts would seem less safe to the students. They look up to him as a symbol of hope against dark forces.
Maybe in a club setting. There could be a Harry Potter fanfiction club at Hogwarts where students meet regularly. They would bring in their favorite fanfictions, share them, and discuss how these new stories fit in with the original narrative. They might analyze the writing styles, the characterizations, and how the fan - created plots add to or deviate from the original. For example, if a fanfiction focuses on a minor character from the books and gives them a more prominent role, the club members could discuss the implications of that for the overall Potter universe.
Their meeting could also mean that Fleur might be more protective of Harry at Hogwarts. Since she knew him before, she might feel a sense of responsibility. So, during the Tournament, she could offer him some tips or help in a more discreet way, which could change the dynamics of how the Tournament unfolds for Harry.
One idea could be that the wizarding world descends into chaos without Harry. Voldemort might rise to absolute power much sooner, and the remaining characters have to find new ways to resist. For example, Hermione could start a secret resistance group using her intelligence and knowledge of magic.
They would probably be shocked at first. I mean, Hogwarts reading fanfiction? It's a strange concept. But then they might be really curious about what Hogwarts is reading. They could try to get their hands on the same fanfiction to see what all the fuss is about.
The wizarding world would be in chaos. Voldemort might not be as threatened as he was with Harry around. The prophecy about Harry being the one to defeat Voldemort would be nullified, and the dark forces could gain more power. Hogwarts itself might lose some of its hope and protection as Harry was seen as a symbol of the future in the fight against the dark arts.
