Avada Kedavra in Harry Potter Fanfiction: How is it Portrayed Differently?

In my opinion, it depends on how it's done. If the fanfiction is using Harry using Avada Kedavra in a context that is meant to shock and go against the core values of the series just for the sake of being edgy, then it's unethical. But if it's part of a well - thought - out exploration of the character's growth, for example, if Harry is corrupted by dark magic in an alternate universe, and the story is used to teach a lesson about the dangers of straying from one's values, it could be seen as a valid creative piece.

One ethical dilemma is when a 'good' character has to decide whether to use Avada Kedavra. In the original series, it's an unforgivable curse, but in fanfiction, authors might put their characters in situations where it seems like the only option. For example, to stop a powerful dark wizard who is about to kill many innocent people.

One possible plotline could be an alternate universe where Harry is turned to the dark side early on. Maybe he discovers some false information about his parents' death and blames the wizarding world, leading him to use Avada Kedavra on those he believes are responsible.

One interesting 'Harry Potter Avada Kedavra' fanfiction could be one where a character manages to reverse the effects of the Avada Kedavra curse through some ancient magic. In this type of fanfiction, it might explore the idea of life after being hit by the Killing Curse and how magic can be used in ways not previously thought of in the original series.

There is a fanfiction that explores what would happen if the Avada Kedavra curse was used on a magical creature instead of a human. It shows how the curse affects the creature differently and how the wizarding world has to deal with the consequences. It's full of interesting details about magical creature lore and the power of the curse.

In some fanfiction, inquistors are shown as more corrupt than in the original books. They might take bribes or abuse their power for personal gain. For instance, an inquistor could let a known dark wizard go free in exchange for a valuable magical artifact.

They could be portrayed as having a bit of good in them. For example, they might be under some sort of dark spell that forces them to act as they do, and if that spell is broken, they could be more like guardians of the wizarding world in a different way.

In fanfiction, dark creatures can be more sympathetic. For instance, a vampire might be shown as a victim of his own condition rather than just a menacing figure. This gives readers a new perspective on these usually feared beings.

Apparition in fanfiction can also have different side - effects. While in the original series, the main concern is splinching, in fanfictions, there could be other consequences like leaving a magical trace that can be tracked by dark wizards. This adds an element of danger and intrigue to the story.

In some fanfictions, a Patronus might be more powerful than in the original books. For example, it could have additional abilities like being able to communicate complex thoughts instead of just being a defensive charm. Fanfic authors often like to expand on the magic system.
