Perhaps in the fanfic, Harry discovers that Dumbledore has been manipulating him all along. Dumbledore has always been a very complex character with many secrets. If Harry were to find out that Dumbledore was using him as a pawn in a much larger and dangerous game, his anger could lead him to punch Dumbledore. This would completely change the dynamic between them and open up a whole new set of storylines and character developments.
There could be. However, this kind of scenario is quite unorthodox as Dumbledore is often seen as a mentor figure in the Harry Potter series. But in the world of fanfic, anything is possible. Some smaller, niche fanfic communities might also have such a story. You may need to dig deeper by joining relevant Harry Potter fan groups on social media platforms and asking around.
There could be a 'Harry punches Ron' fanfic to explore different character interpretations. Maybe the writer wants to show a more impulsive and hot - headed Harry, or a Ron who has done something really wrong that would push Harry to such an extreme. It can also be a way to break away from the typical, harmonious view of their relationship and see how they would deal with such a violent rupture in their friendship.
Yes, there might be. In the vast world of fanfiction, all sorts of creative and unexpected scenarios are explored. Some authors might come up with the idea of Dumbledore being afraid of Harry for various reasons. It could be due to Harry's newfound power that he doesn't fully understand, or perhaps a prophecy that takes an unexpected turn in the author's interpretation. Fanfic writers often like to play with the established characters' emotions and relationships in unique ways.
One possible reason for Dumbledore lying in fanfic could be related to his own past mistakes. He may have thought that by not telling Harry everything, he could guide Harry more subtly towards the ultimate defeat of Voldemort. However, this often creates a sense of betrayal for Harry in the fanfic, which adds a new layer of drama to the story.
Yes, there might be. The Harry Potter fandom is vast, and there could be fanfics with all sorts of creative and sometimes controversial plotlines like this. However, not all such fanfics are easy to find or of high quality. You'd need to search on popular fanfic platforms like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net.
Maybe Harry is under the influence of some dark magic or a powerful enemy who has tricked him. This enemy could have planted false memories in Harry's mind about Dumbledore. So, Harry, believing these false memories to be real, starts to expose Dumbledore as a villain based on these false recollections.
The power dynamic also shifts. Usually, Dumbledore is seen as a mentor and a figure of authority. But when Harry denounces him, Harry is challenging that authority. In some fanfic, this could lead to a power struggle within the wizarding community as others take sides. It can also cause Harry to seek new allies who share his view of Dumbledore, changing the social fabric of the story.
Perhaps Harry has been misled by someone he trusts. They could have filled his head with lies about Dumbledore, making Harry think that Dumbledore is actually a threat. And his motive would then be to protect the wizarding world from what he believes is a hidden danger in Dumbledore.
It could be that Harry finds out about Dumbledore's secrets regarding the Deathly Hallows. If Harry thinks Dumbledore was more interested in the Hallows for his own purposes rather than for the greater good, it might make him hate Dumbledore.
