What are the common themes in 'Harry is a Necromancer' fanfiction?

A common theme is the exploration of dark magic. Since the female necromancer deals with the dead, it often leads to stories exploring the boundaries of acceptable magic in the Harry Potter universe. For example, how necromancy is viewed and the consequences of using such dark arts.

One common theme is the struggle with identity. Since Fem Harry is different from the original male Harry, she has to deal with how society in the wizarding world views her as a female necromancer. Another theme could be the exploration of dark magic in a new light. Necromancy is considered dark, but in these fanfictions, it might be explored as a way for Fem Harry to gain power to protect herself or others. Also, there could be themes related to friendship and betrayal. Her friends might be scared or turned off by her interest in necromancy, leading to potential rifts in relationships.

One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. Since necromancy is usually associated with the dark arts in these fanfictions, the necromancer characters have to fight to be accepted by other players or in - game factions. Also, there's the theme of exploration. They explore new areas in the game world to find rare necromantic items or spells. And the moral ambiguity of using necromancy in the game is also a frequently explored theme.

Common themes include the struggle between light and dark. Since necromancy is often considered a dark art, Harry has to deal with the moral implications while also maintaining his relationships in the harem. Also, loyalty within the harem members towards Harry, especially considering his dangerous necromancy abilities, is a frequent theme.

One common theme is the struggle against prejudice. Since Hermione is a Gryffindor in the original series, in these fanfictions as a Slytherin, she has to face the existing biases towards Slytherin house. And with her necromancy abilities, there's often the theme of the ethical use of such dark magic.

Power and its consequences. A solo necromancer often has to deal with the great power that comes with their ability to raise the dead. This power can attract enemies or make others fear them, leading to isolation. For example, in many novels, the necromancer is hunted by those who see necromancy as an evil art.

One common theme is the struggle between the dark nature of necromancy and love. Since necromancy is often associated with death and the undead, it creates a contrast with the life - affirming nature of love.

The concept of the afterlife is another common theme. Since necromancers deal with the dead, the nature of the afterlife, whether it's a peaceful place or a place of torment, and how necromancy affects it are often delved into. It might be that the dead are not supposed to be brought back, and doing so has consequences not only for the living but also for the dead's eternal state.

Another common theme could be the search for knowledge. The necromancer is often on a quest to learn more about their craft, about death, and about the secrets of the afterlife. This pursuit of knowledge can drive the plot forward, as they may have to face various challenges and make moral choices along the way. There might also be a theme of redemption, where the necromancer tries to atone for their deeds or a theme of damnation if they fully embrace the dark side of their powers.

Another theme is the idea of the 'forbidden'. Necromancy is often seen as something dark and taboo in these stories, and a romance with a necromancer is also considered forbidden, which adds to the tension and allure.
