How would the story of Harry Potter be different if set in feudal Japan? (Harry Potter in feudal Japan fanfiction)

Harry could be a young outcast from a powerful magical family, similar to his situation in the original. But instead of being the Boy Who Lived in a British context, he'd be the one with a special destiny in feudal Japan. Hermione might be a female scholar from a lower - ranked family who is very knowledgeable about magic and Japanese lore. Ron could be a bumbling but loyal friend from a family of minor magical samurai.

These stories can show the strict social hierarchy. For example, if a story involves a relationship between different classes, it shows how difficult it was to cross those boundaries. It also reflects on the role of gender. Women in feudal Japan had specific roles, and in erotic stories, it can show how they were expected to behave in relationships, whether it was in marriage or in affairs.

In fanfiction where Harry Potter grew up in Japan, his appearance could be different too. He might be dressed in traditional Japanese wizard robes. His magic could be influenced by Japanese magic traditions. He would probably learn different spells that are unique to Japanese wizardry. Also, his friends would likely be of different ethnic backgrounds, and they would celebrate Japanese magical festivals together.

Another great one is 'The Tale of Genji'. Although it was written in the Heian period which was still in a feudal - like social structure. It gives a detailed look into the court life, relationships, and cultural aspects of that era in Japan. It's a very important piece of Japanese literature that has influenced many other works related to feudal Japan.

His magic could incorporate more elements of Japanese magic. For example, his spells might be more about harmony with nature, like some Japanese magical traditions.

They often have a strong focus on historical settings. For example, the architecture, clothing, and social hierarchies of feudal Japan are usually depicted accurately. The characters may be samurais, geishas, or lords.

Often, feudal Japan fiction books feature samurai. Their code of Bushido, which emphasizes loyalty, honor, and self - discipline, is a common theme. For example, in 'Musashi', the main character lives by these principles. Another characteristic is the detailed description of the social hierarchy, from the shogun at the top to the peasants at the bottom.

There are quite a few feudal Japan fiction books. 'Blade of the Samurai' is a book that focuses on the life of a samurai. It shows their code of honor, their training, and the battles they fought. 'The Crane Wife' by Patrick Ness is also set in a feudal - like Japan. It's a beautifully written story that combines elements of Japanese folklore with a unique fictional narrative.

His magic might be seen as very different. Japanese magic could have its own style and rules, so Harry's spells might seem strange at first. But also, his powerful magic from fighting Voldemort would likely earn him respect.

The plot could develop with Harry being abandoned in a big Japanese city like Tokyo. He might end up in the muggle part of the city at first and have to use his wits to get by. Eventually, he attracts the attention of Japanese wizards who are both curious and cautious about him. They take him to their magical enclaves where he discovers that there are different types of magic in Japan. There could be political intrigue within the Japanese wizarding community regarding Harry, with some seeing him as a threat and others as an opportunity. He has to navigate through all this while also dealing with his own feelings of abandonment.
