It expands it by delving into the afterlife aspect which the original books didn't fully explore. It can create new settings and scenarios related to the afterlife that add depth to the overall 'Harry Potter' universe.
In the 'Harry Potter and Afterlife Fanfic', it may expand on the concept of the soul. In the original series, the idea of the soul was important, but the afterlife fanfic could go deeper. It could show how the soul is affected by different actions in life and how it behaves in the afterlife. For instance, does a soul carry the memories of its past life? How do souls interact with each other? This exploration of the soul can give a new perspective on the already rich 'Harry Potter' universe.
These fanfics can also expand the universe in terms of magic systems. Maybe the combined magic of the characters in the harem creates new spells or magical techniques. The different lineages and magical heritages within the harem can interact in ways that were not explored in the original, leading to a broader and more complex understanding of magic in the Harry Potter universe.
It might expand by creating new spells. For instance, a fanfic could introduce a spell that allows wizards to communicate with portraits from long - dead wizards across great distances.
It expands the universe by introducing new dimensions. These new dimensions can have their own rules of magic, which is a big expansion. For example, magic might work based on different elements in a new dimension. It also allows for new character developments. Characters we know from the original can have different personalities or abilities in other dimensions.
The fanfiction can expand the original universe by reimagining the roles of certain characters. Say, Hermione might be given a different role like being a part - time spy for Dumbledore in addition to her studies. This changes the power dynamics and the flow of the story, and also gives a fresh perspective on her character. It can also introduce new sub - cultures within the wizarding world, like a group of wizards who practice a very different form of magic that was not explored in the original books.
By exploring different fates for the characters. For instance, if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, the whole dynamic of the story would change. His relationships with other characters like Draco Malfoy would be very different, and this could lead to new plotlines and character developments.
It expands by focusing on family elements. In the original, family was important but not always fully explored. This fanfiction might add more backstories to families. For example, more about the Weasleys' extended family or Hermione's Muggle family's reaction to the wizarding world. It can also create new family - related storylines, like a family feud between different wizarding clans that impacts the main plot.
It expands the universe by delving deeper into the genetics of magic. The idea of bloodline limits allows for a more detailed exploration of why some families have certain magical traits. For instance, if a bloodline has a limit on the strength of their levitation spells, it makes us think about the inheritance of magic in a more scientific way within the magical context.
It expands it by introducing new characters into the sister's harem. These characters can bring in new magical abilities, family backgrounds, and storylines. For example, a character from a far - off magical land could join the harem and introduce new spells or magical creatures to the story.
It might expand on the magic related to snakes. In the original series, snakes are often associated with Slytherin and Parseltongue. This fanfiction could explore more in - depth magical abilities related to snakes that Harry discovers through his relationship with the snake.
In these fanfictions, it expands the universe by introducing a new form of magic. Rune magic adds a layer of depth and mystery. For example, Harry might use rune magic to access hidden areas in Hogwarts that were previously unknown. It also changes the power dynamics. If Harry can use rune magic, it gives him an edge over his enemies and creates new storylines where he has to keep his new - found magic a secret.
