Well, the story could involve Harry facing different kinds of creatures. In Skyrim, there are dragons, trolls, and various undead. Instead of facing dementors, he'd be fighting draugr. And his wand might be replaced by a magic staff or enchanted weapon found in Skyrim's dungeons.
In this fanfiction, the social structure would also be different for Harry. Skyrim has a feudal - like society with Jarls ruling different holds. Harry would have to navigate this political landscape. Maybe he'd become a hero in Skyrim not just by defeating dark wizards like in his original story, but by uniting the holds against a common enemy, like a powerful dragon or a necromancer army.
He'd probably be more rugged. Skyrim is a harsh land, so he'd be tougher physically. His personality might be less influenced by the refined wizarding society of Hogwarts and more by the rough - and - tumble adventurers in Skyrim.
One possibility could be that Harry's magic takes on a darker, more spooky tone. He might learn different kinds of magic related to the macabre in Halloween Town. For example, he could be really good at spells that involve animating skeletons or creating illusions of ghosts. His Hogwarts uniform might be modified to fit the Halloween Town aesthetic, with blacker robes and maybe some bat - like accessories.
One possible plot could be that Harry discovers his vampire heritage early on. Maybe his parents were involved with vampires in some way. As he grows, he has to hide his vampire tendencies from his Hogwarts friends while also learning to control his new powers, like super strength and enhanced senses. He might struggle with the urge to drink blood and have to find a substitute in the wizarding world.
One difference could be his personality. Growing up in an orphanage might make him more independent and self - reliant from a young age. He would have to fend for himself more without the Dursleys' influence, which could also make him more distrustful of adults initially.
Well, for one thing, he might have a different accent. American wizards could have a more brash and outspoken style compared to the more reserved British ones in the original. Also, the school system might be more like American Muggle schools, with things like sports being more hyped up, perhaps a version of Quidditch that's more in line with American football in terms of fanfare.
Well, for one thing, he might speak French fluently. His magical education could be influenced by the French wizarding schools' curriculum. Maybe he'd have different friends, like French wizards and witches, and their culture would be a big part of his life.
In a 'Harry Potter grows up in space' fanfiction, the story could start with Harry being sent to space for some mysterious reason, perhaps to keep him safe from Voldemort. In space, he would grow up learning about both magic and the science of the cosmos. His wand might be modified to work in zero - gravity, and he could use magic to create artificial atmospheres on desolate planets. He might also form alliances with other space - faring magical beings, and together they would defend the universe from the forces of evil that are now spreading beyond Earth.
One possibility is that Harry would face different types of dark magic in Japan. Japanese dark wizards might have their own motives and methods. Harry, growing up in Japan, would have to adapt to the Japanese way of fighting dark magic. He could also be involved in cultural exchanges between the Japanese wizarding world and the British one. Maybe he'd introduce Quidditch to Japan but also learn about Japanese magical sports. His character would be shaped by the Japanese values of respect and perseverance, which would add new dimensions to his personality.
Well, perhaps it could be about Harry growing up in a world where Lily survived. They might have a special bond. Harry could learn magic from Lily in a more personal way, and she could protect him from threats that Voldemort still poses. Maybe they'd have adventures together in the wizarding world, and Lily could introduce Harry to parts of the magical community that he didn't get to experience in the original story.
Well, he might learn some very different magic. Death City has its own unique style of combat and power systems. Harry could end up combining his Hogwarts magic with the skills from Death City. Maybe he'd befriend some of the local characters and together they'd face new and strange threats that neither Hogwarts nor Death City has seen before.
