Hermione could be involved. She might follow Harry through time to try and stop him from becoming the Dark Lord or to fix the timeline if he already has. Dumbledore is another character. In the past, he could sense something strange about Harry's presence and try to guide him away from the dark path. Young Tom Riddle would definitely be involved. He could be either an ally or an adversary to Harry, depending on the plot. Maybe he sees Harry as a kindred spirit or as a threat to his own rise to power.
Maybe some of the Hogwarts professors could be involved. For example, Professor McGonagall could be concerned about Harry's new situation and offer her guidance. There could also be some descendants of previous island owners or caretakers who have their own interests in the island. They could either be friends or foes to Harry, adding more complexity to the story. Additionally, some magical creatures native to the island could be almost like characters themselves, interacting with Harry in unique ways.
Hermione could be one of the characters in the harem. Her intelligence would be an asset to Harry, even as a Dark Lord. She might be torn between her loyalty to the original Harry she knew and her feelings for this new, darker version. Ginny could also be part of it. Given her connection to Harry in the original story, her presence in the harem could add an interesting dynamic, especially if she tries to change Harry back to his old self.
It could also be an existing character from the Harry Potter series like Hagrid. Given his love for all creatures, including some that are considered dangerous, he could be at the center of a story about the 'Lord of Dark Creatures'. He might be trying to protect these creatures from those who would use them for evil purposes or trying to rehabilitate them.
One potential Quidditch superstar in fanfiction could be a new transfer student. This student could have been a star player in their previous school's Quidditch team and brings a whole new set of skills and strategies to Hogwarts. Maybe they have a unique flying style that no one at Hogwarts has seen before.
Neville could be in it too. He might be initially shocked to see Harry in such a state but then tries to help by using some of his herbology knowledge to make a potion to counteract the drunkenness. And Malfoy could show up, taking the opportunity to mock Harry until Harry, in his drunken craziness, does something that scares Malfoy off. Also, Hagrid would surely be around, being concerned about Harry and trying to get him to rest in his hut.
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.
Maybe the OC is a wizard from a different magical culture. For example, he could be from a far - flung wizarding community that was not directly involved in the war but has unique magical abilities. Neville could also be an important character, perhaps collaborating with Harry and the OC on projects to revive the magical plants that were damaged during the war.
Hermione Granger could be one. Her intelligence and thirst for knowledge might make her interested in a time - traveling character. Ginny Weasley is also a likely candidate. She's brave and has her own charm. And Luna Lovegood, with her unique view of the world, would probably be drawn to the mystery of time travel. Another potential character could be Pansy Parkinson. Her strong - willed nature might lead her to be part of the harem in a different way compared to the others.
It could be a dark wizard who also has some form of time - related power. Maybe he wants to use time to his advantage to take over the wizarding world. For instance, he could go back in time to eliminate the founders of Hogwarts so that he can rewrite the rules of magic for his own evil purposes.
Dumbledore could make an appearance. He might be the one who gives Harry the idea to become a pilot in the first place or provides some ancient magical knowledge about flying that helps Harry in his new career. Also, the Weasley twins could be involved. They could create some magical gadgets for the plane, like a device that makes the plane do cool stunts.
