In a 'Harry Potter left magic behind' fanfiction, the plot could involve Harry feeling guilty about all the destruction magic has caused. So he abandons it and starts anew in a remote place. He tries to build relationships with Muggles based on honesty. But as time passes, he realizes that magic is a part of him and he has to find a balance. Maybe he starts teaching some Muggles about the good side of magic in a very discreet way to help them better understand the world around them.
It could be a new dark wizard who rises to power in the wizarding world. This wizard blames Harry for leaving and believes that his departure has made the wizarding world weaker. So the new dark wizard sends his minions to the Muggle world to force Harry to return to the wizarding world and face him, or else he will start causing chaos among Muggles which Harry has come to care about.
It's possible that he hates it because in fanfiction, his friends and he himself might be portrayed in ways that are completely different from who they really are. For example, Hermione might be made into a silly character instead of the intelligent and brave witch she is. This distortion of the people he cares about could be a big factor.
Yes, in a sense. Harry Potter is filled with elements of magic and a richly detailed magical world. It has many of the hallmarks of fanfiction in that it creates an entire universe centered around magic, with unique magical creatures, spells, and a magical society. It's like a very elaborate and successful form of fan - created magic - based fiction.
Yes, in some Harry Potter fanfictions, there might be the concept of a 'god of magic'. Authors often take creative liberties to introduce such powerful and otherworldly entities to add new layers of mystery and power dynamics to the wizarding world they're building upon the original Potterverse.
The magic in Harry Potter is more institutionalized, taught at a school with specific rules and a curriculum. Wiccan magic in fanfiction is often more individualistic. A Wiccan character in a Harry Potter fanfiction might discover their magic on their own or through family traditions rather than in a formal school setting. This difference leads to different ways of using magic. For example, a Wiccan - inspired character might use magic to commune with nature spirits, which is not something typically seen in the Harry Potter series.
The fandom would be divided. Some fans who are deeply into fanfiction would be disappointed and might feel like a part of their connection to the 'Harry Potter' world has been cut off. However, others who are more focused on the official works might not be as affected. There would likely be a decrease in the variety of fan - created stories, which could limit the creative exploration within the fandom.
Maybe it could be an ancient magical being like a centaur. Centaurs are known for their knowledge of the stars and ancient magic. They might take Harry under their wing and teach him old magic that has been passed down through their generations.
In Harry Potter fanfiction, snakes often play a very interesting role. Some fanfictions might explore the Parseltongue ability more deeply. For example, a character could use it to communicate with snakes in the Forbidden Forest to discover hidden secrets or ancient magic. Snakes in these stories can also be symbols of mystery and power, representing a connection to the darker aspects of magic, like the Slytherin heritage.
Snake magic in Harry Potter fanfiction can be used to show a character's dark side. Since snakes are often associated with Slytherin and dark magic in the original series, in fanfiction, a character using snake magic might be on a path towards the dark arts. For example, they could use snake magic to control others or gain power in a more underhanded way.
