The change is significant. In the original, Hermione brought a Muggle - perspective to the wizarding world. But if she's not a Muggleborn in fanfiction, that aspect is gone. This could mean that she has different cultural references and knowledge. It could also impact the plot points related to the fight against Voldemort. For example, the idea of Muggleborns being targeted by Voldemort's regime might not directly apply to her. Instead, she could be a target for other reasons related to her new non - Muggleborn identity. Her friends, Harry and Ron, would also have to adapt to this new Hermione, and their friendship might evolve in different ways as they discover the truth about her heritage.
Well, it changes the original relationships. Instead of Ron and Hermione, it's Harry and Hermione. This would mean that Ron's character would have to go through a different development arc. Maybe he becomes a bit more of a loner at first but then finds his own path outside of his friendship with Harry and Hermione.
With Harry, their friendship could also shift. In the original, Hermione's Muggleborn status was part of her identity that Harry respected. If that changes, they might become closer in different ways. For example, if Hermione is from a powerful pure - blood family, she could use her family's resources to help Harry in his fight against Voldemort more directly. Their relationship could become more of a strategic alliance in addition to a friendship.
The story could also change in terms of her academic progress. Her werewolf nature might make it difficult for her to attend classes during full moons. So, she might have to find alternative ways to study. This could lead to her exploring different areas of magic that are not part of the regular curriculum, thus changing the overall magical knowledge discovery in the story.
In such fanfics, it can completely shift the focus of the story. The original story has a certain flow and character relationships. But when Hermione falls for Harry, it can lead to different alliances and rivalries. For instance, it might change how they deal with Voldemort. Maybe Hermione's love for Harry gives him an extra boost of confidence and they face challenges in a different way. It also changes the friendship dynamics as now Hermione's feelings are more than just platonic towards Harry, which can cause tension with Ron and also with other characters who are used to the original relationship structure.
One good example could be 'Hermione's True Heritage' where the story delves into the idea that Hermione has a hidden magical lineage other than being a Muggleborn. In this fanfiction, the author might explore how this revelation changes her relationships at Hogwarts, like with Ron and Harry. It could add new layers to her character and the overall plot of the wizarding world she exists in.
Well, if James is a Death Eater in fanfiction, it completely alters the dynamic at Hogwarts. James would no longer be part of the group fighting against Voldemort. This would mean that many of the events that happened because of the Marauders' resistance to the Death Eaters wouldn't occur. For instance, the creation of the Marauder's Map might not have been for good reasons. And Lily's relationship with James would be much more complex. Maybe she was initially trying to save him from the dark side, but failed.
In the original story, Harry's main concern was the fight against the dark forces. But in a fem Harry Potter marriage law fanfiction, her priorities are somewhat redirected. The law might require her to marry into a certain family to gain political or magical advantages. This could mean she has to make deals and compromises she wouldn't have in the original story. Also, her relationships with other characters like Hermione and Ron would be redefined. Hermione might be more involved in helping fem Harry understand and deal with the marriage law, and Ron might have different feelings if he sees fem Harry being forced to consider other potential partners. All in all, it significantly alters the character dynamics and the overall flow of the story.
It deviates mainly in the character's identity. In the original, Harry is a Potter, which comes with a lot of baggage like his family history and legacy. But if he isn't a Potter, all of that is gone. So, the story can't rely on things like the Potter family secrets or the connection to the Deathly Hallows in the same way.
Well, in the original series, Snape is often quite harsh towards Hermione and the other Gryffindors. But in a fanfiction where Hermione is a Snape fan, she would likely be more understanding and patient with him. Instead of being intimidated or annoyed by his behavior, she might try to find the good in him from the start.
Well, if Hermione and Harry were twins in fanfiction, the whole dynamic of the story would shift. For one, they might have a stronger bond from the start. In the original series, they were good friends, but as twins, they could have a more instinctive understanding of each other. Also, it could change how they interact with Ron. Instead of the initial trio formation being based on friendship, it could be more of a family - like bond among them. And their shared origin might lead to different revelations about their past and their parents.
