How do 'Harry Potter artifacts' in fanfiction differ from those in the original series?

In fanfiction, Horcruxes might have different creation methods. For instance, some fanfics may introduce new spells or rituals for making a Horcrux that were not in the original books.

The pets in the original Harry Potter series are mainly used for practical purposes like delivering mail (owls) or being a companion (cats). However, in fanfiction, Harry Potter pets can have extraordinary powers. They could be used as a weapon, like a pet that can transform into a shield or shoot out magical blasts. Also, in fanfiction, pets can have complex personalities and backstories that are not explored as much in the original series.

Fanfiction often explores the combination of powers in ways not seen in the original. In the books, each type of magic seems to be somewhat separate. However, in fanfiction, a character might be able to blend potion - making skills with combat magic. So, they could create potions that enhance their spell - casting abilities during a duel, which is a concept not really in the main series.

In the original Harry Potter series, potion ingredients are mostly traditional and well - known within the wizarding world. But in Harry Gathees fanfiction, they might be more exotic. For example, in the original, we have things like powdered bat wings. In fanfiction, there could be the wings of a magical hybrid creature. Also, the uses of the ingredients can be more creative in fanfiction. While in the original, dittany is mainly for healing, in fanfiction it could be a key part of a potion to enhance a wizard's charm.

In fanfiction, Bubotubers might have enhanced abilities. For instance, they could be made to move around more actively compared to the rather stationary ones in the books.

The weapons in the original Harry Potter books are mostly traditional magical items like wands, swords (like Godric Gryffindor's sword), and potions which can be used in a sort of weapon - like way. However, fanfiction weapons are often much more elaborate. Fanfiction might introduce things like a ring that can teleport the wearer anywhere in Hogwarts or a necklace that gives the user the power to control the weather. These weapons are not bound by the limitations of the original book's lore as strictly, so they can be more creative and extreme in their capabilities.

Fanfiction often gives boggarts more abilities or different rules. In the original books, the Riddikulus spell was a fairly straightforward way to deal with them. But in fanfic, boggarts might be harder to defeat, perhaps requiring a combination of spells or a deeper understanding of one's own psyche. They could also have the ability to influence the environment in different ways, like creating illusions that are more difficult to distinguish from reality.

Fanfiction may give goblins more diverse magical abilities. While in the books they are known for their metal - working and certain spells related to guarding their treasures, in fanfiction they could have new powers like shape - shifting or enhanced mind - reading abilities when it comes to matters of gold and jewels.

The magical items in fanfiction often differ from those in the original books in terms of their origin and purpose. In the books, items like the Philosopher's Stone have a very specific backstory and are crucial to the main plot. In fanfiction, similar - looking items might be created for different reasons, like a 'fake' Philosopher's Stone made by a dark wizard to deceive others. Moreover, fanfiction may introduce items that are hybrids of existing ones, which is not common in the original series. For instance, a combination of a broomstick and a portkey that can fly you to different magical locations with a simple incantation.

In the original books, the creatures have well - defined characteristics set by J.K. Rowling. But in fanfiction, they can be drastically altered. For example, the werewolves in the books are mainly seen as dangerous during full moons. In fanfiction, a werewolf might be able to control their transformation at will and be a more complex character, perhaps even a hero. So the nature of the creatures can be completely reimagined in fanfiction.
