What could be an interesting plot in a 'Harry Potter meets Sherlock Holmes' fanfiction?

A plot could involve Sherlock being a wizard all along but not realizing it until he meets Harry Potter. He has been using his logical mind to do what he thought was normal detective work, but it was actually his latent magic powers at play. Together, they could solve crimes in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, using Sherlock's methods and Harry's knowledge of magic spells and potions.

Maybe there's a mystery that spans both London and Gotham. A villain is using a new kind of technology or drug that was first experimented with in London and is now being exploited in Gotham. Sherlock Holmes, having heard about Batman's reputation for dealing with such matters, travels to Gotham. They meet and initially clash due to their different methods. But as they start to share information, they realize that the villain is someone they both have a history with in some way. They then combine their efforts, Holmes with his mind and Batman with his gadgets and physical prowess, to stop the villain.

An interesting plot would be if Harry, with his knowledge of potions, created a potion that gave him Sherlock - like deductive abilities. Then he starts solving crimes in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. He could use his wizarding connections to track down information that Sherlock might not have access to, and his new - found deductive skills to piece it all together.

I think Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes themselves would be the most interesting combination. Harry has this deep understanding of the magical world, its politics, and its secrets. Sherlock, on the other hand, has his brilliant deductive reasoning. When they come together, they can learn from each other. Harry can introduce Sherlock to magic, and Sherlock can teach Harry how to be more observant and logical in non - magical situations.

One way is through the mystery - solving aspect. Harry and his friends often have to figure out what's going on in the wizarding world. Just like Sherlock Holmes, they gather clues, make deductions. For example, when they are trying to figure out the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets, they look for signs, ask around, and piece together information, much like Holmes would do in his cases.

In some fanfictions, Harry Potter could visit 221B Baker Street. There, he might learn from Sherlock about how to observe people more closely, which could help him in his battles against the Dark Arts. Also, Watson could befriend Harry and teach him some basic first - aid skills, which could be useful in the wizarding world where dueling often leads to injuries.

Yes. In some ways, we can see elements that might suggest a connection. For example, both series are set in a world full of mystery. Harry Potter has the mystery of the wizarding world, the secrets of Hogwarts, and the enigma of Voldemort. Similarly, Sherlock Holmes is all about solving mysteries in the Muggle world. However, they are two very distinct universes with their own unique rules and characters, but the love for mystery might be a common thread that could make one think of Harry Potter as somewhat of a Sherlock Holmes - inspired fanfiction on a very loose level.

Well, in Harry Potter fanfiction, business can take many forms. There could be stories about the trade of magical artifacts on the black market. As for Sherlock Holmes fanfiction, he often deals with cases that may have a financial aspect to them, like fraud in a business deal. When it comes to combining the two in fanfiction, perhaps Sherlock could be called upon to solve a mystery in the wizarding business world, say a series of disappearances among the goblin bankers who handle the wizarding currency.

The most fascinating aspect would be the solving of mysteries. In the Harry Potter world, there are many mysteries like the identity of the Half - Blood Prince or the secrets of the Deathly Hallows. If Harry acts like Sherlock Holmes, he would approach these mysteries in a very different way. He would piece together clues, make deductions, and perhaps solve them much earlier or in a more unexpected way. This would completely transform the narrative of the story and make it a very engaging read.

Well, a great crossover idea is when Harry Potter and his friends seek Sherlock Holmes' help to figure out the true identity of Voldemort before he fully returns. Sherlock could analyze the dark wizard's past actions and the prophecies in a very different, logical way compared to the wizarding world's methods.
