What are some examples of stupid things Harry does in fanfiction?

Sometimes it's to show his character growth. Harry might start off doing stupid things because he's young and inexperienced. As the fanfiction progresses, he learns from his mistakes. For instance, he may initially trust the wrong people but later becomes more cautious. It's a way to develop his character arc.

In some 'doing things differently' Harry Potter fanfictions, the Dursleys are actually nice to Harry. Instead of the usual abuse and neglect, they help him discover his magic earlier and support his entry into Hogwarts. This alters Harry's view of his Muggle family and also how he approaches the wizarding world. Also, there could be a fanfic where Voldemort is redeemed. He realizes the error of his ways early on and teams up with Harry to fight a greater evil, like a powerful dark entity from another dimension.

Well, there are those epic sagas from ancient times. For instance, the Iliad. It's filled with long descriptions of battles, the relationships between the characters, and the back - stories of the heroes. It's a stupid long story in the sense that it can be quite a task to get through all the details. Also, some old folk tales that have been passed down through generations often have long - winded parts where the storyteller just goes on and on about the setting or the characters' appearances.

One stupid but funny story is about a man who tried to ride a shopping cart like a skateboard in a supermarket parking lot. He ended up crashing into a trash can. Also, there was a lady who thought she could communicate with her fish by making fish - like noises at the aquarium. Her family just watched in disbelief.

One long stupid story could be about a man who tries to teach his cat to dance. He spends hours making up ridiculous moves and trying to get the cat to imitate him, but all the cat does is stare at him blankly and then walk away. It's a long, pointless story that just shows the man's silly idea.

One stupid sex story could be about someone who accidentally locked themselves out of their room right after getting undressed for a romantic evening. It was all very embarrassing as they had to call the landlord in that state.

One example could be a story about a frog that tries to fly by tying balloons to its back. It's stupid because frogs don't fly and the idea is really silly. Another could be a story where a mouse decides to build a house out of cheese, not realizing it will melt or get eaten. And then there's the story of a dog that tries to talk to fish underwater by barking really loudly, which is just absurd.

Another example could be those viral news stories that are based on misinformation. Say, a story about a famous actor dying when in fact they are alive and well. These kinds of stupid new stories often cause unnecessary panic or excitement among the public, and they spread because people don't always verify the source before sharing.

Sharing such stories is inappropriate as they often involve vulgar and unethical content.

In some fanfics, Naruto might be depicted as using excessive force against his friends in a fit of rage. For example, he could accidentally harm Sasuke while they're having an intense argument. This goes against his usual character of valuing his comrades.
