One reason could be a prophecy. In the wizarding world, prophecies often drive events. Maybe there's a new prophecy that says Harry must be at Hogwarts at a certain time for some great event to occur. So, the magical community, in an effort to fulfill the prophecy, forces Harry to go. It's like they are trying to shape the future according to the words of the prophecy.
One popular 'Harry Forced to Go to Hogwarts' fanfic might be one where Harry's relatives are threatened by some magical force if they don't let him go. In this kind of story, it could add an extra layer of drama. Maybe there's a magical contract that was made before Harry was left with the Dursleys, and if they break it by not allowing him to Hogwarts, there will be dire consequences for them. It makes for an exciting read as we see Harry's journey start in a different way than in the original books.
One common theme is self - discovery. Even though Harry is forced to go, he still finds out more about himself and his powers at Hogwarts. Another theme is the idea of fate versus free will. He's forced, but he still has choices to make once he's there. For example, he can choose which friends to make or which classes to focus on.
Hermione might go with him. She's always been by Harry's side, and she would likely follow him out of loyalty and also because she might see the value in whatever mission or journey Harry is embarking on. She could provide the intellectual support and research skills that Harry needs.
One possible plotline could be that Harry initially resists going to Hogwarts because he's afraid of leaving behind his only connection to his normal life, like his aunt and uncle's house which, despite being horrible, is still the only home he's known. Another could be that some dark force is trying to prevent him from going to Hogwarts, but he's being forced by Dumbledore or some other powerful figure who knows it's crucial for his safety and development. For example, Voldemort could be using some magic to make Harry not want to go, in an attempt to keep him from learning magic and becoming a threat.
One possibility could be that he discovers a different magical school. Maybe there's a hidden school in the Muggle world that he stumbles upon. It could have its own unique curriculum and culture. He might make new friends there and learn magic in a completely different way compared to how it's taught at Hogwarts.
Definitely. Many fans who are into Harry Potter fanfic are huge fans of the original series as well. The idea of Hogwarts, with its magical classes, moving staircases, and hidden passages, is extremely appealing. Reading fanfic often deepens their connection to the wizarding world, and so they would love to experience Hogwarts for real. It's like a dream come true for them.
Maybe it's about three people having amazing adventures at Hogwarts. They could be learning magic, making new friends, and getting into all sorts of trouble like sneaking into the Forbidden Forest or trying to find hidden passages in the castle.
Perhaps they are three young wizards from a far - off land. They could be from a place where magic is practiced differently, like a tribe deep in the Amazon where they use magic to communicate with animals. So when they come to Hogwarts, they have a lot to learn and also a lot to teach. They might have unique magical abilities that are rare in the Hogwarts world, such as the ability to control the weather without a wand.
One reason could be that he has fallen in love with someone outside of Hogwarts and wants to stay with that person instead. He may feel that Hogwarts will keep him away from his beloved.
