In some Harry Potter fanfiction, the Beast could be a magically enhanced creature that has unique powers. For example, a giant eagle with the ability to speak and understand complex spells. It might befriend a young wizard and help them on their adventures.
It could be about exploring new magical beasts in the Harry Potter universe and their power. Maybe it features a story where Harry and his friends discover a new and extremely powerful beast and how they deal with it.
One idea could be a story where Hermione is transported into the world of Beauty and the Beast. She could use her magic to break the curse in a different way than in the original story. For example, instead of falling in love with the Beast right away, she tries to find a magical solution using her knowledge from Hogwarts.
One common theme could be self - discovery. If Harry is a beast, he has to figure out how to deal with this new identity and what it means for his place in the wizarding world. Another theme might be acceptance, both from himself and from his friends. They would need to accept this new version of Harry.
No. The Harry Potter series is mainly about magic, friendship, and the fight against evil. Fanfiction like this goes against the positive values of the original work and is also inappropriate in terms of moral and ethical standards.
It can drive away a lot of fans who respect the original values of the series. Many fans love the series for its positive themes and this kind of inappropriate content is a big turn - off.
One interesting theme is the relationship between the beasts and the wizards. For example, how they communicate and interact. It's fascinating to see how fanfiction authors explore this, like in stories where a wizard has to earn the trust of a dangerous beast.
In many fanfictions, there are often original characters created by the author. In 'harry potter and the power of beast fanfiction', there could be a young wizard or witch who has a hidden connection to the power of the beast. They might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the beast's power. But of course, Harry Potter and his friends would likely be involved in some capacity, perhaps as mentors or allies to this new character, depending on how the story is crafted.
Redemption is another one. The 'beast' character, whether it's a character from Harry Potter world who is in a similar situation or the actual Beast from Beauty and the Beast, often goes through a journey of redemption. For example, if a Slytherin character is in the role of the beast, they might learn to be a better person through the love of another. And this is similar to how the Beast in the original story learns to be more human. Also, the theme of magic is always there, whether it's the magic from Harry Potter or the enchanted elements in Beauty and the Beast, it's used to drive the story forward, like how spells might be used to break curses or create magical settings for the characters to interact in. This combination of themes makes the fanfictions really interesting as they blend two different but equally magical universes.
There's a fanfic called 'Beast Keeper's Apprentice'. In this one, the main character is an apprentice to Hagrid in the beast - keeping department. It shows how they deal with various beasts, from the cute Bowtruckles to the more dangerous Hippogriffs. It's really engaging as it gives a lot of details about the care and nature of these magical creatures.
