Perhaps he leaves Gryffindor in fanfiction because he is influenced by a new mentor or friend who is from a different house or group. This person might convince him that he can achieve more or be more true to himself outside of Gryffindor. Also, it could be due to a prophecy or a special mission that requires him to distance himself from Gryffindor for a while to protect the house or the entire Hogwarts from a certain threat.
The dynamics within Gryffindor would be greatly affected. His friends like Ron and Hermione would be confused and sad. The Gryffindor house would lose one of its most iconic members, and there might be a power shift within the house. Other Gryffindors might feel less confident without Harry around.
The story could develop in a way that Harry goes through a period of self - discovery. Without the Gryffindor identity, he has to re - evaluate who he is. He might explore different kinds of magic that Gryffindor house never encouraged. This exploration could lead him to new powers and a new understanding of the wizarding world.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding with his friends in Gryffindor. Maybe there was a big argument over something like a Quidditch match strategy that made him feel alienated.
Yes, in some fanfictions, Harry Potter is depicted as the heir of Gryffindor. It adds an interesting twist to the original story. The connection to the Gryffindor sword becomes more profound as it is often a symbol of Gryffindor's legacy. In these fanfictions, Harry might discover hidden powers or a deeper understanding of his destiny through this new identity.
There could be several reasons. One is simply to add drama. A lot of fanfiction writers thrive on creating conflict, and what better way to do that than by taking on one of the most beloved houses in the 'Harry Potter' series? Another reason might be personal bias. Perhaps the writer had a negative experience with someone who identified strongly with Gryffindor, or they just don't like the traits that are typically associated with Gryffindor, like impulsiveness, and they use fanfiction as a way to express their views.
One great 'Harry Potter Gryffindor Fanfiction' is 'The Gryffindor Princess'. It has a really interesting plot where a new student arrives at Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor, but she has a mysterious past that ties into the original story in unexpected ways.
There could be a fanfiction where a Gryffindor Animagus is trying to find out more about their ability. They might search through the restricted section of the library. In their Animagus form, they could access areas that are hard to reach for normal students. And they might meet other magical creatures who can guide them in understanding their powers better.
Well, it could be that the fanfiction writer is trying to subvert the traditional narrative. Harry has always been the hero of Gryffindor, but in this new take, he hates it. Maybe he sees the flaws in Gryffindor that are often overlooked in the original story, like the over - emphasis on courage which can sometimes lead to recklessness and he doesn't like being part of a house with such a one - dimensional view of what's important.
There could be many reasons. Maybe some fanfiction writers want to create an alternate universe where Harry has a different path. It could also be for the sake of creating a more complex and unexpected plot, like having him be falsely accused of something so bad that Gryffindor doesn't want him. Another possibility is that the writer wants to explore how Harry would react and grow outside of the Gryffindor environment he's so closely associated with in the original series.
