How does the concept of harem work in 'Game of Thrones' and 'Harry Potter' fanfiction?

In Harry Potter fanfiction, a powerful harem often means that Harry is surrounded by strong female characters. These characters might have strong magical abilities, like being able to perform complex spells or having unique magical gifts. They support Harry in different ways, be it in battles or in his personal growth.

The 'forced harem' concept in Harry Potter fanfictions often involves some sort of external force or situation. It could be a dark magic plot that results in a group of characters being bound to Harry in a way that creates a harem. These fanfictions then explore how Harry copes with this new situation, how the relationships develop among the harem members, and how it all impacts the magical world around them. There can be a lot of drama and character development as a result. For instance, some stories might have Hermione and Ginny along with other female characters suddenly being part of Harry's harem due to a cursed object or a powerful wizard's meddling.

Power struggle is a common theme. Just like in the original works, characters from both universes often compete for power, whether it's magical power in the Harry Potter world or political power in Game of Thrones.

Often, it's through some new form of magic. Maybe a spell or a potion gives him this ability.

The Thestral as a familiar in fanfiction often means it has a special connection with the wizard or witch. It can act as a guide, leading the character through dangerous places like the Forbidden Forest.

The concept often involves some sort of magical anomaly. Maybe a magical artifact malfunctions and sucks in Harry's magic, then transfers it elsewhere. Sometimes, it's a connection between two characters. For instance, if there's a deep emotional bond between Harry and another character, and that character is in a life - threatening situation, Harry's magic might transfer to them to save their life. It can also be a part of an experiment in a fanfiction where wizards are trying to understand the limits and transferability of magic, and Harry becomes an unwilling subject.

Well, it could be that a spell goes wrong. In the fanfiction world, spells can have all sorts of unexpected consequences. So a spell that Harry or someone else casts accidentally combines with some ancient magic that has a connection to the Rinnegan. This causes the Rinnegan to manifest in Harry. Another way could be that Harry discovers an ancient artifact in the wizarding world that has some sort of link to the Naruto universe, and when he touches it, he gets the Rinnegan. This then sets off a whole new adventure for him as he has to learn to control this new power.

The concept might work by having the inheritance slave be at the mercy of the inheritance laws of the wizarding world. So, they may be forced to do tasks for the rightful heir of a certain estate or magical power. In some fanfictions, this could lead to the slave character gradually uncovering secrets about the inheritance that give them power to break free. Say, they find out that there was a flaw in the original contract that bound them.

Typically, in 'Harry Potter deaged' fanfiction, a spell or some magical accident causes Harry to become younger. This could be a botched time - turner experiment or a dark magic attack gone wrong. For example, in some fics, he might be turned into a toddler or a young child, and then the story unfolds as the other characters deal with this new situation.

The 'Harry Potter Star Forge' concept can also work by having characters cross over between the two universes. For instance, a wizard from Harry Potter might find themselves in the Star Forge world and have to adapt their magic to the new environment. This can lead to interesting storylines where they learn new ways of using magic or discover hidden powers within themselves. At the same time, characters from the Star Forge world might be introduced to magic and react in various ways, some with fear, some with fascination. This creates a rich tapestry of interactions and plot possibilities.
