Yes. In some ways, the Harry Potter series shares certain elements with the idea of a Knight Templar fanfiction. The series has a strong sense of a hidden, magical world filled with its own codes, hierarchies, and a battle between good and evil, much like the mysterious and often-romanticized world of the Knight Templars. For example, the Order of the Phoenix in Harry Potter has similarities to a secret society like the Templars, with a group of dedicated individuals fighting for a noble cause against a powerful dark force.
Maybe Dumbledore, if he were still alive in the fanfiction. Dumbledore was highly respected and had a great influence. Knighting Harry would be a way for him to publicly recognize Harry's achievements and heroism on a grand scale.
Yes, in a sense. Harry Potter is filled with elements of magic and a richly detailed magical world. It has many of the hallmarks of fanfiction in that it creates an entire universe centered around magic, with unique magical creatures, spells, and a magical society. It's like a very elaborate and successful form of fan - created magic - based fiction.
Yes, in some Harry Potter fanfictions, there might be the concept of a 'god of magic'. Authors often take creative liberties to introduce such powerful and otherworldly entities to add new layers of mystery and power dynamics to the wizarding world they're building upon the original Potterverse.
One common theme is honor. Knights are often associated with honor, and in Harry Potter fanfiction, characters who take on the role of knights uphold values like honesty and integrity. For example, they might refuse to use dark magic even in difficult situations.
The magic in Harry Potter is more institutionalized, taught at a school with specific rules and a curriculum. Wiccan magic in fanfiction is often more individualistic. A Wiccan character in a Harry Potter fanfiction might discover their magic on their own or through family traditions rather than in a formal school setting. This difference leads to different ways of using magic. For example, a Wiccan - inspired character might use magic to commune with nature spirits, which is not something typically seen in the Harry Potter series.
Well, it could be that the Queen has a special connection to the wizarding world in this fanfiction. Perhaps she has been secretly informed of Harry's bravery and selflessness all along. And as a symbol of the British monarchy, she knights him to show that the Muggle and wizarding worlds can have a positive relationship. So, she bestows this honor on Harry.
Differences also lie in the relationships. In the original series, Harry has relationships based on being a student and a wizard. In the fanfiction, as a knight, his relationships with his friends and enemies will be different. His friends could be his comrades - in - arms, and his enemies could be rival knights or dark knights. Moreover, the plot would be driven by knight - related quests and challenges rather than the search for Horcruxes or the fight against Voldemort.
Maybe it could be an ancient magical being like a centaur. Centaurs are known for their knowledge of the stars and ancient magic. They might take Harry under their wing and teach him old magic that has been passed down through their generations.
In Harry Potter fanfiction, snakes often play a very interesting role. Some fanfictions might explore the Parseltongue ability more deeply. For example, a character could use it to communicate with snakes in the Forbidden Forest to discover hidden secrets or ancient magic. Snakes in these stories can also be symbols of mystery and power, representing a connection to the darker aspects of magic, like the Slytherin heritage.
