Yes, there are likely some fanfictions out there with this concept. The idea of Merlin reincarnating as Harry Potter combines two very popular magical universes. It allows for a lot of interesting plot twists and character development. Writers might explore how Merlin's ancient magic and knowledge would manifest in the modern world of Harry Potter, and how it could change the course of the story we know.
Another possible candidate in fanfictions could be Neville Longbottom. He has a deep connection to the magical world and shows great courage and growth throughout the series. His latent magical abilities, which are finally fully realized, could be interpreted as him being an heir of Merlin in a way. He has the potential to be a great wizard, just like Merlin was.
It could be a previously unknown student at Hogwarts. Maybe a shy Ravenclaw who has always been good at spells that require great intelligence and wisdom, which are traits often associated with Merlin.
Yes, in a sense. There are some elements in 'Harry Potter' that can be seen as having similarities to the concept of Merlin. For example, both deal with magic and the idea of a special destiny for the main characters. However, 'Harry Potter' is also a very unique and complex world of its own with its own set of rules, characters, and storylines that go far beyond just being a simple fanfiction of Merlin.
Merlin in Harry Potter fanfiction can have various roles. He could be a mentor figure who exists in a sort of magical afterlife and imparts wisdom to the modern - day wizards like Harry. He might also be part of some long - forgotten prophecy or magical lineage that ties into the main plot of the fan - made story. For example, he could be the key to unlocking a new and powerful form of magic that the characters need to defeat a new dark force.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself. And there could be Dumbledore, who might guide Harry in this new path related to Merlin. Also, Hermione and Ron could be there, either helping Harry or being a bit skeptical about this new adventure.
Harry Potter might still be the main character even with Merlin's return. Merlin could be more of a guiding or helping figure, and Harry would be the one who ultimately has to face the main challenges with Merlin's assistance. So Harry would remain at the core of the story.
Well, clearly Merlin and Harry Potter are the main characters. Merlin, with his powerful magic and wisdom from a different era, and Harry, the boy - who - lived from the modern wizarding world.
Dumbledore would be an interesting addition. He has a lot of knowledge and power, and his interaction with Merlin would be fascinating. Ron could also be included for some comic relief and his loyalty would be an asset in any adventure that combines the two universes.
Well, Harry Potter would be the main character of course, given that he is the 'Son of Merlin' in this fanfic. His friends Ron and Hermione are likely to be important characters too, as they are always by his side in the original series and would probably play significant roles here as well.
