In this fanfic, if 'you' was a character who provided crucial information, without that character, Harry and his friends might go on a wild - goose chase to find the same information. They could end up exploring parts of the wizarding world that were not in the original story, like some long - forgotten dungeons in Hogwarts. This could lead to new encounters with strange creatures and old magic spells that were lost in time. Also, the relationships between the main characters like Ron and Hermione could change. Without 'you' there to act as a mediator or a catalyst in some situations, they might have more arguments or, on the contrary, become closer more quickly as they rely only on each other.
If 'you' was a character that had a special connection to the magical creatures in the 'Harry Potter' world, without 'you', Hagrid might have to step up more. There could be a situation where the Hippogriffs or Thestrals are in trouble and without 'you' to help, Hagrid has to find a way to communicate with them in a different way. This could lead to some really interesting plot twists. And the way Harry views the magical creatures might also change as he has to deal with them without the help of 'you'.
Perhaps Harry would have to face Voldemort alone without the support of the character 'you'. So there would be more intense and dangerous duels.
The 'harry potter wirhout you fanfic' might also be a way for the writer to express their own unique view of the 'Harry Potter' world. It could be that they felt the original story was too centered around some characters and wanted to see how it would be like if one was removed. It could lead to new storylines, new character developments, and new magical adventures. For instance, if 'you' was a powerful wizard who was always by Harry's side, without that wizard, new characters might emerge to fill the void and create a whole new dynamic within Hogwarts and the wizarding world.
There could be an immortal wizard who has lived through all the major events in the wizarding world's history and now has a crucial role to play in the fight against a new dark force. Or perhaps an immortal creature that has a special connection to Hogwarts and is guiding the students in a way that no one realizes.
Sure. There could be fanfictions where the author completely misinterprets the relationships between characters. For instance, making Harry and Draco best friends from the start without any of the rivalry and tension that was built in the original series. Then there are those that have really bad pacing. They might spend too much time on unimportant details in the beginning and then rush through the important parts of the story like the climax. And sometimes, the worst ones have a very unoriginal plot. It's just a rehash of the original books but with some minor, uninteresting changes.
One example could be a fanfic where Draco Malfoy is cursed and the only way to break the curse is by interacting with a magical apple. So, throughout the story, there are scenes of him trying to figure out how to do that. Another example might be a story where Draco is constantly eating apples in a really strange and obsessive way, and the other characters are both amused and confused by it. There could also be a fanfic where an apple has some sort of sentience and it forms a bond with Draco, and they have conversations that are both strange and endearing.
I'm sorry I can't provide specific examples as there are thousands of fanfics out there and it's difficult to point out ones specifically for this. But you can search on popular fanfic websites like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net using relevant keywords like 'Harry Potter' and 'wife' to find such fanfics.
Sorry, without having read a specific fanfic that uses 'slicerness', it's difficult to give exact examples. But it could be something like a character having a wand movement that creates a slicing effect on opponents' spells, like slicing them in half and making them ineffective.
Maybe Harry is unable to perform basic spells because he's so coddled that he hasn't had the chance to practice properly. So, his friends have to constantly protect him from minor threats like a pesky pixie.
Sure. One example could be that Harry is able to understand ancient runes and spells without any formal training. He just looks at them and immediately knows what they mean and how to use them. Another could be that he has an inborn ability to communicate with magical creatures in a way that no one else can, and he uses this to gain their help in battles or to solve problems in the wizarding world.
In this fanfiction, Harry could be a player in the sense of being a political player within the wizarding world. He might be secretly forming alliances with different wizarding families to gain power and influence. He uses his status as 'the boy who lived' to his advantage. In relationships, he could be a bit of a heartbreaker. He goes on dates with Hermione, Ginny, and other girls, but is never fully committed, causing some drama and tension among his friends and the girls themselves.
There might be a 'worst' fan fiction where the author doesn't understand the time period of the Harry Potter world. So you have characters using modern technology like cell phones in Hogwarts. Or a story where the relationships between characters are really forced, like forcing a romantic relationship between Dumbledore and McGonagall in a really inappropriate and untrue - to - the - series way.
