Another idea is that the Death Eaters in Harry Potter create a new kind of maze similar to the one in the Maze Runner as a form of torture or experiment. Harry and his friends then team up with the Gladers to escape this new, magical maze.
Harry Potter himself is often very popular. His magical abilities and leadership skills make him an interesting addition to the Maze Runner plot. Thomas from Maze Runner is also popular in these fanfics. He's the main character in his own story and his determination and survival skills can be really cool when combined with the magic of Harry Potter.
One interesting crossover could be the magical elements of Harry Potter in the post - apocalyptic setting of Maze Runner. For example, using spells to solve the maze puzzles. Another could be the characters from both universes teaming up. Like Harry and his friends joining forces with Thomas and the Gladers to fight a common enemy, perhaps a new dark wizard who has also influenced the Maze Runner world.
One interesting crossover could be the characters from Maze Runner finding themselves in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. They might be amazed by the magic and spells, while the Hogwarts students could be intrigued by the Gladers' survival skills. For example, Thomas could befriend Harry and they could team up to solve a mystery that involves both the Maze and the Dark Arts.
The idea of a group working together against a common enemy, which is prominent in Maze Runner, can be added to Harry Potter fanfiction. The Hogwarts houses could form an alliance similar to the Gladers. They could fight against a new dark force that is trying to take over the wizarding world. Each house could bring their unique skills, just as the Gladers had different roles in the Maze.
In some fanfics, a plot twist could be that Voldemort teams up with the Creators from Maze Runner. This completely changes the power dynamics as the combined evil forces pose a huge threat to the protagonists. It makes for a very intense read as the heroes have to find new ways to fight back.
One great Harry Potter Maze Runner fanfiction is 'The Crossover Quest'. It combines the magical world of Harry Potter with the post - apocalyptic setting of Maze Runner in a really interesting way. The characters from both universes interact in unexpected ways, like Hermione using her intelligence to solve the maze puzzles.
Hermione would probably try to study the Gladers and their society. She could compare it to the wizarding society she knows. Meanwhile, Minho from the Maze Runner would be eager to learn about the magic that could potentially help them in their fight against the Creators. They would exchange knowledge and skills, like the Gladers teaching the wizards how to run fast and be more physically fit, while the wizards teach the Gladers some basic spells for protection.
One common theme could be the exploration of the dark side of magic. In these fanfictions, the torture scenes might be used to show the true evil of certain dark wizards or witches. For example, they could depict how Voldemort's followers might torture their enemies in creative and cruel ways. Another theme could be the strength and resilience of the characters. Through enduring torture, the characters show their unwavering spirit and determination to fight against the dark forces.
