Why do fans like the 'Harry and Ron read ahead for classes' fanfiction trope?

There's 'Early Studies' which focuses on how Harry and Ron's early reading for classes affects their relationships with other students. They become more confident and it changes how others see them.

Fans like it because it shows strong bonds. Harry has been through so much, and having overprotective mates gives him a support system he really needs. It's a way of seeing him cared for deeply.

Fans like to read about these characters in fanfiction because they already love them from the original books. It's a way to get more of their favorite characters. For example, they might want to see Harry in different adventures that J.K. Rowling didn't write. Or they might be interested in exploring Hermione's life outside of what was shown in the official series.

Some fans might write it because they simply don't like Ron's character. Maybe they prefer other characters like Harry or Hermione more and want to explore stories where Ron is not as central or is portrayed negatively. They could also be trying to create more drama in the story. By making Ron a less - than - ideal character, they can introduce new conflicts and plot twists that wouldn't be there if Ron was his normal self from the books.

Well, for one thing, it breaks the mold. The original story has Harry firmly in Gryffindor, but in fanfiction, placing him in Ravenclaw shakes things up. It makes fans wonder how his life at Hogwarts would be different. He would be surrounded by different types of people, those who value knowledge above all else. This could lead to him developing different skills, like advanced spell - casting through in - depth study. It also allows for new interpretations of the prophecy and his role in the wizarding world. Maybe in Ravenclaw, he discovers a different way to defeat Voldemort that is more about outsmarting him than a direct confrontation. Plus, it gives a chance to explore the relationship between the houses in a new light, as Harry bridges the gap between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

Some fans like it because they have a strong friendship in the original books. It's natural to wonder 'what if' that friendship turned into something more. They've been through so much together, and fans think that could be a basis for a great romantic relationship.

One reason it could be popular is the allure of the forbidden or unexpected. Ron and Hermione were a well - known couple in the original series, so the idea of Hermione leaving him for Severus is a huge deviation. It also gives a chance to delve deeper into Severus' character. Fans might be interested in seeing how he would react to such a relationship.

Maybe Harry thinks fanfiction often distorts the real relationship between him and Ron. He values their genuine friendship and doesn't like the fictional and sometimes over - the - top interpretations in fanfiction.

Some fans like it because it offers an alternative to the canon relationships. It gives a chance to explore a different dynamic between Harry and Hermione, one that might be more romantic or at least a very deep friendship that's different from what's shown in the books. It allows for creativity and new storylines.

Some fans like it because they see a different kind of chemistry between Harry and Hermione. Their shared love for knowledge and their complementary skills make for an interesting relationship in fanfiction. Harry's bravery and Hermione's intelligence can create a really dynamic duo as a couple.
