How would a Harry Potter staff function differently from a wand in fanfiction?

In fanfiction, the staff could be used as a more powerful and versatile tool. It might be able to cast a wider range of spells simultaneously compared to a wand. For example, it could create large - scale protective barriers or complex illusions all at once.

In fanfiction, plants like the Mandrake might have different growth rates. For instance, instead of taking a certain number of months to mature as in the books, it could take years or just weeks. This change can be used to create unique plotlines, such as a wizard needing a fully grown Mandrake urgently but having to deal with the unexpected growth time.

In a fanfiction, for them to function well as a team, communication would be key. Since they come from different worlds, they would need to find a common language, both literally and figuratively. The Hyuuga might not understand the incantations of Harry's spells at first, and Harry would be clueless about the ninja hand signs. However, as they spend time together, they could learn from each other. Maybe the Hyuuga could teach Harry some basic self - defense techniques without magic, and Harry could introduce the Hyuuga to some simple potions that could heal wounds or boost energy.

In fanfiction, when a character's wand explodes, they'd be in a state of utter disbelief at first. Their wand is like an extension of themselves in the magical world. After the initial shock, they'd start to worry about how they'll function without it. Some characters might immediately start looking for ways to repair it if they're knowledgeable enough. Others would rush to get a new wand, but that's not always easy. They'd also be worried about how their friends and enemies will react. Their enemies might see it as an opportunity to attack, while their friends would be concerned for their safety. The character would also probably start reflecting on what could have caused the explosion, whether it was a spell gone wrong, a curse, or some sort of magical malfunction.

In fanfiction, if Harry Potter's wand fuses with the Elder Wand, it could potentially create an extremely powerful magical object. Harry already has a strong connection with his own wand, and the Elder Wand is known for its near - omnipotent power. The fusion might result in him having an unrivaled control over magic, perhaps being able to perform spells with ease that were previously difficult or even impossible. It could also change the balance of power in the wizarding world, as he would be in possession of a wand that combines the loyalty and unique properties of his original wand with the raw power of the Elder Wand.

One major difference is in the area of the Patronus Charm. In the original books, it mainly serves as a defense against Dementors. However, in Prodigy fanfiction, it could be used as a form of communication between characters. The charm's light or shape could carry messages, which is a new and creative take on the charm.

The staff could make him more confident. If it has powerful magic, he would feel more capable of taking on difficult tasks. So, his character might shift from being a bit hesitant to more assertive.

He'd likely be more inquisitive about different forms of magic. Instead of just relying on the spells taught at Hogwarts, he'd constantly seek out new magus - based knowledge.

Harry would be more daring and adventurous. He'd be used to taking risks on the open sea. Hermione would probably be the one making sure they have all the necessary spells and knowledge for their pirate adventures. Ron might be a bit more fearless, facing sea creatures without hesitation.

The story would change drastically. Harry would be without his main means of magic. His enemies might take advantage of this. For example, Voldemort would see it as an opportunity to attack. Harry would have to rely on his wits and the magic he can do without a wand, like some basic spells he might have learned instinctively. His friends would also be more protective of him, and they might have to work harder to keep him safe.
