What are some interesting 'Reader Goes to Hogwarts' fanfictions?

Well, there's the 'Sorting Dilemma' trope. Since the reader is new to Hogwarts, there's often a big deal made about which house they'll be sorted into. Some fanfics also have the 'Hidden Talent' trope. The reader - character suddenly discovers they have a unique magical ability that no one else has. And then there's the 'Mystery at Hogwarts' trope. Strange things start happening at the school and the reader has to solve them.

One interesting plotline could be the culture clash between Smeltings and Hogwarts. Since Smeltings is known for its strict and perhaps more traditional ways compared to Hogwarts' more inclusive and magical diversity. For example, a Smeltings student might struggle to adapt to the use of magic for everyday tasks at Hogwarts, like using a levitation charm instead of doing things manually as they were taught at Smeltings.

The reader - character can influence the storyline by their choices. For example, if they choose to befriend a certain group of students, it can change the social dynamics at Hogwarts. They can also influence it through their academic performance. If they excel in a particular subject, it might lead to new opportunities or quests within the fanfic.

One interesting plot could be Albus making unexpected friends on the Hogwarts Express. Maybe he meets a shy first - year who has a unique magical ability that Albus has never seen before. They then form a bond and face challenges together at Hogwarts.

One interesting 'harry goes to voldemort' fanfiction could be where Harry tries to understand Voldemort's motives and in the process, discovers a long - lost magic that could potentially end the war.

One interesting fanfiction could be about the founders' early days at Hogwarts. It might explore how they decided on the house traits and chose the locations for each house within the castle. For example, a story could show Salazar Slytherin's initial ideas for the Slytherin common room being more open but then changing his mind due to certain events or other founders' suggestions.

There are quite a few fanfictions in this category. Some focus on how their relationship might develop secretly at Hogwarts. For example, 'Hidden Desires at Hogwarts' could be one. In these fanfictions, the authors usually create scenarios where Harry and Hermione's feelings for each other intensify in the familiar halls and classrooms of the school. They might face challenges from other students or the school's rules while their relationship blossoms.

A great 'Harry Potter Lockdown Hogwarts' fanfiction idea is that the teachers have to find new teaching methods during lockdown. Professor McGonagall might use magic to create virtual classrooms where students can interact with magical creatures from afar. And Professor Snape could come up with a potion - making challenge that the students can do in their dormitories, and they submit their results for grading.

In some fanfictions, Draco's expulsion might be due to a new, strict headmaster who has zero tolerance for the Malfoy family's traditional antics. This forces Draco to re - evaluate his life and values, and he may end up becoming a better person as a result of this expulsion.
