Harry Potter would be at the center of it all, trying to figure out what the king's return means for the wizarding world. Luna Lovegood might also be part of the story, with her unique perspective on things she could offer some interesting insights. There could be some powerful dark wizards who see the king's return as a threat to their power and try to stop him. And then there are the magical creatures. Maybe the centaurs or the house - elves have some sort of connection to the king or the old dynasties and they become important characters in the fanfiction.
Definitely Harry Potter, who would be curious about this new development in the wizarding world. Neville Longbottom could also play a role, maybe he has some knowledge about the old dynasties that could help or hinder the king's plans. The Weasley family as a whole could be involved too. Ginny Weasley might have her own take on the situation. And there could be some ancient wizards who were thought to be long dead but are awakened with the king's return. These characters could add a lot of depth and mystery to the fanfiction.
For the Atlantis side, there could be Atlantean royalty, like a princess or a group of elders. There might also be Atlantean mages or warriors. And don't forget about the mer - people. They could play a role, either as allies or antagonists. Maybe there's a mermaid who falls in love with Harry and helps him understand the ways of Atlantis.
A less obvious candidate could be a corrupted Dumbledore. Imagine if he was swayed by the allure of absolute power and became the dark king. It would be a huge twist as he is seen as a symbol of good in the original books.
The Death Eaters could still be a major threat. Even with Voldemort gone, some of them might be trying to revive the dark ways and see the wizard king as a big obstacle in their path.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself as the Ice King. Then there would be Draco Malfoy. He could be either a rival or an ally to Harry in this new role. Hermione would also be there, trying to understand the magic behind Harry's transformation and helping him control his powers. And of course, Snape, who might have some knowledge about the Slytherin magic related to the Ice King.
In this fanfiction, Voldemort could also be involved in a different way. Since Harry is now the son of the Demon King, Voldemort might see him as a threat or a potential ally. Dumbledore would surely play a role too. He might be the one to guide Harry or try to keep him from fully embracing his demonic side. And there could be some magical creatures that are associated with the demonic realm, like imps or minor demons that could be characters in their own right.
Merlin would be the central figure. Ron Weasley could play an important role too. He might be a bit skeptical of Merlin at first but then come to respect him. Dumbledore could also be a major character, having some sort of connection or prior knowledge about Merlin's return.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself would be the central character. Hermione could be part of the harem, as she has always been close to Harry. Luna Lovegood might also be there, with her unique and dreamy personality. Additionally, some new original characters could be introduced, like a powerful witch from a Vegas - based wizarding family.
There could also be new characters introduced. Maybe other magizoologists from different parts of the wizarding world. They could have different approaches and beliefs about magical creatures. Some might be rivals, trying to outdo Harry in the discovery and study of new species, while others could be mentors, guiding him in the complex world of magizoology.
Obviously, Hermione Granger would be a great addition. Her intelligence and loyalty would make her an important part of the harem. Ginny Weasley is also a likely candidate. She's brave and has a strong connection to Harry already. Luna Lovegood with her unique view of the world could add a lot of charm and mystery to the group. And Fleur Delacour, being part - Veela, could bring in an element of allure and different magical heritage.
Obviously, James and Lily Potter are key characters. Then there's Dumbledore. He was always involved in important matters, so he might be there to offer his wisdom or protection. Sirius Black could also be a character, as he was Harry's godfather. He might be hovering around nervously, eager to meet his godson. And Hagrid, who later played an important role in Harry's life, could perhaps be there to bring some news from the wizarding world to the Potters.
