Can you give examples of indifference and neglect in popular Harry Potter fanfiction?

Well, in Harry Potter fanfiction, indifference and neglect can be a powerful theme. It can be seen in how Hogwarts itself might be indifferent to the needs of some students. There could be students who are neglected because they don't fit into the typical Gryffindor - Slytherin - Hufflepuff - Ravenclaw mold. This can result in those students either finding their own way to thrive or sinking into despair. Fanfic authors use this to explore different aspects of the wizarding world that the original books might not have delved into as deeply.

One example could be in a fanfiction where Voldemort actually succeeds in his conquest of the wizarding world. He claims a right of conquest over all magical institutions and enforces his dark rule. Another might be a fan - made story where a group of rebel wizards take over a part of the Forbidden Forest by defeating the magical creatures there and claim it as their own based on right of conquest.

I'm not sure of specific titles off - hand. But generally, it could be a story that just focuses on the daily life at Hogwarts without getting into big battles between good and evil. Maybe it's about a student's normal school year, dealing with classes, friendships, and minor rivalries.

There are fanfictions where Harry Potter outsmarts a powerful dark wizard by pretending to be on their side. He infiltrates the wizard's lair and gradually gains their trust. While doing so, he learns about the wizard's plans and weaknesses. Then, at the crucial moment, he uses this knowledge to turn the tables. He might also use polyjuice potion to create distractions or mislead the wizard and his followers, showing his clever use of magic items and potions to outsmart his adversary.

One example could be fanfictions that rewrite the relationship between Harry and Hermione as a romantic one in a very extreme way that goes against the platonic relationship in the original books. Some fans who are purists might contest this as it changes the fundamental dynamic of the trio.

Sure. There are fanfics where a young wizard who joins a dark wizarding group in search of power experiences 'dark reprussucions'. He might start to lose his ability to perform normal magic and instead can only use dark magic that gradually consumes him. His appearance might change, becoming more gaunt and his eyes might take on a sinister glint. Also, his relationships with his family and former friends are completely destroyed as they see the change in him.

One fragile element could be a new magical creature introduced in the fanfiction. If the rules governing this creature are not well - defined, it can make the story seem inconsistent and fragile. For example, if the creature has powers that are too overpowered or not properly explained, it can disrupt the balance of the Harry Potter universe within the fanfiction.

Sure. In some fanfictions, a character's 'healing touch' is shown as a warm glow that emanates from their hands when they touch an injured person. For instance, if a character is injured in a battle against Death Eaters, another character with the 'healing touch' can simply place their hands on the wound and the injury starts to heal rapidly. Also, there could be a character whose 'healing touch' can heal the emotional scars of those who have lost their loved ones in the wizarding war.

Some fanfictions that are overly long - winded and full of filler content can be considered the worst. They might have pages and pages of a character just thinking about nothing important or going through mundane daily activities that have no real connection to the main plot of the Harry Potter world.

One example could be a fanfic where Harry has the ability to control time without any limits, which is much more powerful than the time - turning devices in the original series. Another might be a story where Voldemort is made invincible and can defeat any opponent with a single spell, completely overpowering the other characters.
