Perhaps Harry accidentally unleashes a powerful and uncontrollable magic spell within the school grounds that causes a great deal of damage. Despite it being an accident, the Hogwarts administration, fearing further chaos, decides to expel him. Harry would then have to go on a journey to learn more about this magic and how to control it, all while trying to prove to Hogwarts that he is worthy of being readmitted.
In some fanfictions, Harry might be expelled for being wrongly accused of using dark magic. Maybe someone framed him by planting dark magic items in his dorm. Another reason could be that he continuously breaks school rules in a way that the school can't tolerate, like sneaking into the Forbidden Forest too many times without permission.
A dark wizard or witch from outside Hogwarts could be the main antagonist. They might target Harry specifically because of his reputation as the 'Chosen One' and use their influence to get him expelled from Hogwarts so that he is more vulnerable and easier to attack.
One possible reason could be that he is wrongly accused of using dark magic. In some fanfictions, the Ministry of Magic might be more corrupt or easily influenced, and they could frame Harry for something he didn't do, leading to his expulsion.
One plotline could be that this non - Hogwarts headmaster comes to Hogwarts on an exchange program. They bring their own unique magical curriculum and start to change the way students think about magic. There could be conflict with the traditional Hogwarts professors who are resistant to change.
One interesting plot could be Harry becoming an Auror and facing new dark wizards that emerge post - Hogwarts. He uses his skills learned at Hogwarts to protect the wizarding world in a more complex and dangerous environment.
One interesting plot could be an apprentice discovers a long - lost magic spell in the Hogwarts library. This spell has the power to control the weather within the school grounds. The apprentice then has to figure out how to use it responsibly while facing challenges from other students who want to use it for mischief.
There could be a plot where Harry's upbringing at Hogwarts affects his relationship with the other students. He might be seen as an insider by some, but also an oddity by others. This could lead to some interesting dynamics, such as rivalries or unexpected friendships. For example, he might have a closer friendship with the students from different houses as he doesn't have the same house - based prejudices that other students have.
After being expelled, Harry's life takes a major turn. He might have to find alternative ways to continue his magical education. Maybe he seeks out some rogue wizards who are willing to teach him in secret. Socially, he could be ostracized by his former friends at Hogwarts who are afraid of getting in trouble for associating with him. He also has to deal with the disappointment of his mentors like Dumbledore, if they don't support his expulsion. His living situation might change too. He could no longer stay at Hogwarts, and might have to find a new place to live, perhaps with some relatives who are not as understanding as the Weasleys. This whole situation could make him more determined to prove his innocence or fight against the system that expelled him.
One possible reason could be that he was under the influence of a powerful dark magic or a curse that made him lose control. Another reason might be that he was tricked into believing Hogwarts was a threat to the wizarding world in some extreme way. Maybe a powerful enemy manipulated him to think that destroying Hogwarts was the only way to save everyone.
One interesting plot could be the fem Harry Potter using her unique position as the heir to Hogwarts to uncover long - hidden secrets about the school. For example, she might discover secret chambers or passages that even Dumbledore wasn't fully aware of. This could lead to all sorts of adventures, like finding ancient spells or artifacts.
