How would the characters' development be different if Harry dies instead of Cedric in fanfic?

The other characters' development would be completely derailed. For example, Chopper, who looked up to Luffy as a source of inspiration, would probably lose his confidence. Robin, who had found a new family in the Straw Hats with Luffy as the core, might isolate herself again. Without Luffy, the bonds that held the crew together would start to crumble, and their individual character growth would be stunted.

If Harry dies instead of Cedric in fanfic, Hogwarts would be in a state of deep mourning. The entire wizarding world that had placed so much hope in Harry would be in shock. Voldemort would likely face less opposition in the short term as Harry was seen as the main threat to his return. Friends like Ron and Hermione would be devastated, and they might have to take different paths. Ron could become more withdrawn, and Hermione might focus all her energy on finding a way to avenge Harry. The story would also likely shift focus to Cedric, who would now carry the weight of the prophecy or the task of ultimately facing Voldemort, if there was such a concept in this altered universe.

The characters would be devastated. Grover, Percy's best friend, would be heartbroken. He might lose his ability to find Pan because of the emotional turmoil. His search for Pan was always connected to his friendship with Percy, and without Percy, he could be lost.

Well, Ginny would be devastated. Her relationship with Harry was budding into something more. With Harry gone, she might become more withdrawn. Sirius would feel a sense of guilt towards Ginny, as he's alive instead of Harry. He might try to be there for her like an older brother. The Weasley family as a whole would be in mourning. Their relationship with Sirius would be a mix of gratitude for still being there but also sadness that Harry was gone. And Snape's feelings would be complex. He might feel a strange sense of loss, as Harry was his connection to Lily in a way, and now he has to deal with Sirius still being alive.

Ron and Hermione would be completely shattered. Ron, who had been Harry's friend since the beginning, would probably be in denial at first. Hermione would likely try to figure out what exactly happened. Dumbledore would be solemn and would try to keep the school calm while also investigating the matter. Hagrid would be inconsolable, crying his eyes out. The other students would be in a state of shock and sadness. The teachers would also be deeply affected, especially those who had taught Harry or had some connection with him.

Harry would be crushed. He'd feel like he lost a sister. Ron would be in total despair, probably blaming himself. Ginny would be heartbroken too as Hermione was like a sister to her. The Weasley family, who had accepted Hermione as one of their own, would be in mourning. They'd all wonder how they could have prevented it and would be angry at the unfairness of it all.

In this cat fanfic, Harry could be more curious and impulsive like a cat. He would be eager to explore new places and things, just like a cat would be interested in new corners of the house or a new mouse toy. Hermione would be more nurturing towards the cats. She would be the one making sure they are well - fed, groomed, and healthy. She would also use her intelligence to understand the cats' behavior and needs better.

One possible plot development could be that Voldemort finally achieves his goal of killing the Boy Who Lived. This would likely send shockwaves through the wizarding world. The Order of the Phoenix would be in disarray, having lost their hope symbol. Sirius, on the other hand, would be grief - stricken and perhaps driven to take more extreme actions against the Death Eaters in revenge for Harry's death.

His character would likely be more independent. Growing up in space, away from the familiar structures of the wizarding world on Earth, he would have to rely on himself more. He might be less influenced by the social hierarchies and traditions of Hogwarts. For example, he may not care as much about being sorted into a particular house.

Dumbledore would feel a great sense of loss and guilt. He had always seen Harry as the key to defeating Voldemort. His reaction could be to go into seclusion for a while to think about what went wrong. The other Hogwarts professors would be in shock. Hagrid would be heartbroken and might even leave Hogwarts in his grief. And the Death Eaters would be jubilant, but also a bit wary as they know that there could be unforeseen consequences to Harry's death.
