One common theme is self - discovery. Harry has been under Dumbledore's guidance for so long that when he breaks free, he has to figure out who he really is without that influence.
The theme of independence is also prevalent. Harry is tired of being Dumbledore's puppet, so he breaks free to become his own person. He makes his own decisions, whether it's about his studies, his friendships, or his battles against the dark forces. This independence gives him a new sense of purpose and power that he didn't have before under Dumbledore's wing.
There's also 'Breaking the Bonds' in which Harry discovers some secrets about Dumbledore that make him lose trust. He then breaks free by leaving Hogwarts and traveling the wizarding world on his own, learning new magics and making unexpected alliances. This fanfic really focuses on Harry's character growth as he becomes more self - reliant.
One reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Harry discovers something that he misinterprets about Dumbledore's actions or plans. For example, if he finds out about some of Dumbledore's more secretive dealings in a way that makes him seem untrustworthy at first glance.
One common theme is self - discovery. Without Dumbledore's guidance, Harry has to figure out who he really is and what he stands for. Another theme is mistrust of authority, as Harry starts to question Dumbledore's motives in the original story. Rebellion is also a theme, as Harry breaks away from the traditional path set by Dumbledore.
One possible plot could be that Dumbledore, perhaps under the influence of a dark spell, turns against Harry. He might try to prevent Harry from achieving his destiny in the wizarding world. For example, he could spread false rumors about Harry to turn the wizarding community against him.
The theme of disillusionment also often appears. Harry, who once idolized Dumbledore, now sees him in a new light. He realizes that Dumbledore is not the perfect mentor he once thought, and this realization leads to his hatred. This can be explored in various ways, such as through flashbacks or interactions with other characters who have different views of Dumbledore.
One common theme is his so - called 'manipulation' of Harry. Some fanfics focus on how Dumbledore used Harry for the greater good without really considering Harry's personal feelings. Another theme is his secrecy. Writers in these fanfictions often explore how his secrets had negative consequences for the characters around him.
Well, in this kind of fanfiction, Dumbledore himself would be the main antagonist since the title implies that he is the one 'breaking' Harry. He would be acting against Harry's well - being and goals.
There are several common themes. Firstly, the exploration of moral ambiguity. Dumbledore's manipulative behavior blurs the lines between right and wrong, making Harry and Cho question his actions and their own moral compasses. Secondly, the theme of self - discovery. As they face Dumbledore's manipulation, Harry and Cho may start to discover more about themselves, their strengths, and their weaknesses. And thirdly, the theme of resistance. They may try to resist Dumbledore's manipulation, which can lead to stories of courage and determination in the face of a powerful figure like Dumbledore.
One common theme is manipulation. Writers may show Dumbledore as using Harry and others for his own secret ends. Another theme could be misinformation. They might depict Dumbledore as spreading false information to keep control. Also, power - hungry is a theme, where Dumbledore is seen as being after more power than he lets on.
One common theme is Dumbledore's past. Many fanfictions explore his family, his youth, and the events that shaped him. Another is his relationship with other characters like Grindelwald or Harry. And wisdom is also a big theme, as Dumbledore is seen as a very wise character in the original series.
