Luna Lovegood could be a crossover character. Her unique perspective and belief in strange magical creatures could translate well into the Vampire Diaries world. She might discover new supernatural beings in Mystic Falls that she had only read about in her own world. And then there's Klaus from the Vampire Diaries. He could be a wizard in the Harry Potter world in the fanfiction. His power - hungry and manipulative nature would make him a formidable dark wizard, causing chaos in Hogwarts with his vampire - like thirst for power.
One plot idea could be a female Harry Potter character finding herself in the Vampire Diaries' Mystic Falls. She could use her magic to deal with the vampire and werewolf politics there. For example, she might use a spell to protect herself from a vampire's compulsion. Another idea is that she teams up with Elena and the gang to fight a common enemy, like a powerful dark witch who has ties to both the wizarding world and the supernatural world of Mystic Falls. And she could introduce some unique magical items from the Harry Potter universe to help in their battles.
I think Harry and Damon would be an interesting pair. Harry has his strong sense of justice and Damon is this complex, morally grey vampire. Their interactions would be full of tension and banter. They could learn from each other - Harry about the vampire world's darker side and Damon about the power of friendship like Harry has with his friends. Another great pair could be Hermione and Bonnie. Both are smart and powerful in their own ways. They could combine their magic knowledge to solve problems that come up in the crossover.
Hermione Granger would definitely be a key character. Her intelligence and magical ability would make her an important part of any harem situation around Harry. Then there could be characters like Arwen from 'Lord of the Rings'. Her beauty and elven magic would bring a different dynamic. Also, Sakura from 'Naruto' could be included. Her medical ninjutsu and strong will could add to the mix in the harem.
One idea could be that the Hogwarts students are sent to Mystic Falls for a magical exchange program. Harry could meet Elena and they discover a new dark magic that is related to both the wizarding world and the vampires. Another could be that a vampire from Vampire Diaries somehow ends up at Hogwarts and has to navigate the magical rules and classes while hiding their true nature from most students. A third idea is that the Death Eaters team up with some of the bad vampires in Vampire Diaries to create chaos in both worlds.
One potential crossover character could be Harry Potter himself as a mutant. Maybe he has an additional power like telepathy on top of his wizarding abilities. Another could be Professor Xavier in the wizarding world, using his mental powers to communicate with wizards. Wolverine could also be a great crossover, his adamantium claws and healing factor in the context of the wizarding world would be really interesting.
The Weasley twins could also be potential allies. They are always up for some mischief but also have a good heart. They could use their creativity and knowledge of Hogwarts' secrets to help the fem Harry Potter in her journey as the heir. For example, they could help her find hidden areas of the school where she might learn more about her heritage.
Klaus Mikaelson is definitely one of the most popular. His complex and often villainous nature in The Originals makes him a fascinating character to bring into the world of The Vampire Diaries. He can stir up all kinds of trouble and create new dynamics among the characters in Mystic Falls.
Luna Lovegood would be an interesting addition. Her unique view of the world and her kindness would make her a great part of the harem. Draco Malfoy could also be thrown into the mix in a more reformed state, adding some tension and complexity. And from a crossover aspect, perhaps a mermaid character who has the ability to transform into a human during the wedding and is drawn to Harry's heroism.
Another potential set of new characters could be ancient wizards or witches who were once associated with the concept of the master of death. They could come back to either guide Harry or challenge his claim to the title. This would add a lot of depth to the story as Harry would have to prove himself to these predecessors or learn from their experiences.
Well, in this type of fanfiction, Hermione could also be an important character, but in a different light. Maybe she tries to stop an evil Harry, or perhaps she is corrupted by him and becomes his accomplice. Other characters like the White Witch from Narnia could be involved. Her icy magic and cold - hearted nature could be an interesting contrast or complement to an evil Harry's powers. And don't forget about characters from other YA dark fantasy series, such as the Darkling from Shadow and Bone, who could potentially cross paths with an evil Harry.
