Does Dumbledore underestimate Harry Potter fanfiction?

Dumbledore might underestimate it because he's used to the 'official' version of the wizarding world. Fanfiction can be full of wild ideas that don't fit his traditional view.

Well, one reason could be that it's often seen as just a derivative work. People might think it can't be as good as the original series. But they're wrong. Fanfiction allows for so many creative interpretations. It can explore different character backstories, relationships in ways that the original might not have. It gives fans a chance to be creative and add their own ideas to the Harry Potter universe.

He might give Harry detention. Harry could be made to clean the trophies in the trophy room or help Hagrid with some difficult tasks in the Forbidden Forest under strict supervision.

In some fanfictions, Dumbledore might bow out of respect for a powerful magical entity or a person with extraordinary abilities. It could also be a sign of his humility in the face of a situation where he realizes he is not the most knowledgeable or powerful.

It might make Harry more confident. With Dumbledore's training, Harry gains more knowledge and skills, which gives him the confidence to face challenges.

It could be because of a deep-seated grudge or misunderstanding. Maybe Harry felt betrayed by Dumbledore's actions or decisions.

Perhaps Harry was feeling betrayed or misunderstood and wanted to express his strong emotions directly to Dumbledore through a howler. This could be a way to make his point and demand a response.

In some fanfictions, female Harry Potter might hate Dumbledore because the author wants to create a different dynamic. Maybe Dumbledore's actions in the original story, like keeping secrets from Harry, are exaggerated in the fanfic. For example, if he withheld information that could have saved someone she cared about, it could lead to her hatred.

Perhaps Harry Potter could screw over Dumbledore in fanfiction by revealing some of Dumbledore's past mistakes or misdeeds to the wizarding community. If there are things Dumbledore has done in his past that are morally gray or controversial, and Harry decides to expose them, it would definitely cause problems for Dumbledore's reputation and his standing in the wizarding world.

Well, in certain Harry Potter fanfiction, Dumbledore can come across as insane. It really depends on the writer's interpretation and the direction they want to take the story. Some might do it for shock value, to create a more edgy or different take on the well - known character. However, the canonical Dumbledore was a highly intelligent and calculating figure, not insane.
