What would be the major plot changes in 'Harry Potter' if Harry dies instead of Cedric in fanfic?

Well, Neville would also be affected. Harry was an inspiration to Neville, and without him, Neville might struggle more with his confidence. However, it could also be a turning point for Neville, where he has to find his own inner strength without Harry's example. Ginny would be heartbroken. She had a special connection with Harry. Her character might become more reserved and less outgoing as she deals with the loss. For the Hogwarts professors, they would have to deal with the loss of a student in a different way. McGonagall, for example, would be deeply saddened and might become more protective of the remaining students. Snape would have a different emotional response as well, as his complex relationship with Harry was a big part of his character development.

In the fanfic, there might be changes in the security measures of Azkaban. For example, new spells or wards could be added to prevent prisoners from escaping more effectively.

Well, one major plot change could be his relationship with magic. In Canada, the magical community might have different traditions. Maybe the way magic is taught in Canadian wizarding schools is more nature - based compared to Hogwarts. So Harry would grow up with a different understanding of magic.

Well, in this kind of fanfic, Harry could be neglected by Hogwarts staff. For example, teachers may be too preoccupied with other matters, such as political unrest in the wizarding world. Harry, feeling alone and abandoned, might venture into dangerous areas like the Forbidden Forest more often. He could encounter a powerful and malevolent creature that he's not ready to face, and ultimately die because there was no one to rescue him. Also, the Sorting Hat could potentially mis - sort him into a house where he doesn't fit in at all, and the neglect from his housemates could contribute to his downfall.

A fanfic with Cedric and Harry as brothers would change the Hogwarts experience for both of them. They could share a dormitory or have special family - related privileges at school. Their bond as brothers would likely make them more of a united front against the likes of Voldemort. Instead of Harry being the sole focus of Voldemort's attention, Cedric would also be in the crosshairs. This would lead to different strategies and plot developments. The Weasley family might interact with them differently too, as they would be related to Harry in a different way. And the relationship between Harry and Cho Chang (who was Cedric's girlfriend) would be completely reimagined, adding a whole new layer of complexity to the story.

There probably is. Fanfic writers like to experiment with different character interactions. Since both Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory are popular characters, it's not uncommon for someone to write a story where they share a kiss. It could be part of a story that delves into a different timeline, or a story where their relationship takes an unexpected turn due to some magical event or misunderstanding.

One possible plot could be that in an alternate version of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry and Cedric form a closer bond during the tasks. They start to understand each other on a deeper level and as a result, share a kiss as a sign of mutual respect and new - found friendship. Maybe they work together to overcome a greater threat that wasn't in the original tournament, and this shared experience brings them closer.

One plot twist could be that they have to keep their relationship a secret at first due to the wizarding society's conservative views. Another could be that Voldemort uses their relationship as a way to divide the wizarding community. For example, he could spread false rumors about their union being against wizarding laws.

The fanfiction could show that Harry discovers a secret passage that leads to where Cedric is held captive. He has to face various magical traps and challenges on the way. Once he reaches Cedric, he uses his Gryffindor courage and his knowledge of magic, like the Shield Charm to protect Cedric from incoming spells, and then they escape together, with Harry being the hero who saves Cedric.

One common trait is his kindness. He's always shown as a nice guy in fanfic, just as he was in the books. Another is his courage. He doesn't shy away from challenges, like the Triwizard Tournament tasks. And his loyalty, whether it's to his friends or to Hogwarts, is often emphasized.
