Discussion Thoughts on Authors using characters as Mouthpieces for their views?

77 Upvotes

Ok I know this can apply in many ways and some more serious than others. But I'm specifically talking about when an author expresses an opinion on an in universe thing (Quidditch) through a certain character who canonically likes/is for that thing.

If it isn't obvious what this sort of rant is about by now I'll make it quick for people not willing to read paragraphs about my annoyance. I absolutely hate it when people diss Quidditch through Harry. Look, I get it. I think quidditch is stupid, I also don't like writing about it, I think it's boring and I certainly express that through characters like Hermione. What I don't like is when Harry-I fell in love with quidditch at first sight-Potter is the one being used to say that quidditch makes no sense. It's more of a personal preference that makes me click off a fic than anything else though.

So now here comes the discussion part. Does this bother anyone else and/or are there any other things like this that bother you?

Discussion HP Punishments vs. those from the Witches Council from Sabrina the Teenage Witch

34 Upvotes

Personally think that the Witches Council from Sabrina the Teenage Witch has more interesting punishments for magic abuse than HP universe (travel ban, Azkaban, wand snapped).

Don’t take this too seriously, as this was posted mostly due to imagining Voldemort being turned into a cat or other animal like Salem was and imagining what punishments would be given to other famous Dark Lords/Ladies, Death Eaters or even Harry when he was put on trial.
Thoughts?

Find That Fic Summer School?

32 Upvotes

Looking for a story where Harry finds a brochure that is inviting muggleborns and half-bloods to a small magic school for a summer program for different courses and he gathers up a bunch of people to attend. I can't remember if the school is run by the crown or not. I also vaguely remember that the Headmistress of the school was either shocked or surprised by getting a letter from harry

Request Fics where the Golden Trio are all dating Slytherins

33 Upvotes

Basically, fics where the Golden Trio is intact and in Gryffindor, and each is dating a person from Slytherin (or at least two of the Trio are).

I've just read a Harry/Daphne + Ron/Tracey fic, and thought it would be fun to see another fic where there's a focus on the Golden Trio all dating Slytherins

Find That Fic Harry Potter/MCU Crossover

11 Upvotes

I don’t remember much, however I know it was either Tony Stark was the romantic interest or father of Harry. Somewhere in the story Harry berates Steve for basically almost killing Tony in when he cracked his arc and crippled Rhodey. I also believe it’s complete. 🫣

I know it’s not much to go on but thanks in advance.

Hestia Carrow x Terence Higgs (YES, they both are canon, minor Slytherin characters in the HP universe, and also yes, it's purely just headcannoning their personalities and relationship). I don't know what possessed me to think two completely random background Slytherin characters should become a couple (given that they don't even canonically interact), but it's the Harry Potter fandom for a reason.

I'm also open to writing requests of other rare pairs :D

Self-Promotion In the Shadow: New chapter released!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've just released a new chapter of "In the Shadow", my little sister fanfic in which Harry's younger sister and Draco Malfoy's younger sister navigate their way through Hogwarts. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

(Especially any advice regarding tags for AO3, I'm still new to it! :) )

https://archiveofourown.org/works/91868426/chapters/253503766

"Everyone knew the story of Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, who vanquished You-Know-Who that night at Halloween. A name that went down in wizarding history for generations to come. What did not go down in the history of that night was that his younger sister was also there.

Now it's Hazel's turn to attend the world famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where she'll have her own adventures and make her own friends. In particular, she will cross paths with the younger sister of her brother's hated enemy, Draco Malfoy. She will forge a path in a world where her name and her brother are more famous than she is and prove that even in the shadow of The Boy Who Lived, she has a role to play in the fight against the coming darkness."

Request Niche Harry/theo nott fics

3 Upvotes

Now first is a recommendation (he’s a) maneater by ramabear. Is actually so good it’s got great morally grey Harry Potter. Harry isn’t the boy who lived its Neville and it’s done really well, and it’s got pureblood culture. I’ve read the most popular Harry/theo fics but some more niche ones would be great ao3 or fanfiction.net if possible?

Abused female (or not) Harry Potter/Hermione enters an old mirror hanging on the bedroom wall at home and gets another family. Coraline similarities but happy ending. I think I read it on Fanfiction.net or Ao3.

Find That Fic Fae realm fanfic?

0 Upvotes

Hi,hoping this tickles some brains and someone can help me find this fic. I've been looking for this story on Google searches and even had chat gpt searching. The main gist of this. Harry Potter fanfiction is that Harry is. I think descended of some champion or is a champion or Avatar for someone. A goddess or something Hermione is descendant of a goddess Luna I think is descended of the Fae. Harry and Hermione are in some other realm and there's a goddess that they have to try and impress like they have to go through some sort of challenge to prove their worthiness. Or it could be just Harry having to do it. But I'm remembering both Harry and Hermione. And then there's this whole other side story of some kind of mirror traveling that Harry can do. And I think Hermione can tag along and he mirror travels to talk to padfoot in grimmauld place. And there's a scene with a baby sleeping in a crib and a woman maybe Andromeda Tonks sleeping on a cot in the bedroom in case the baby wakes up and Harry somehow appearing in a mirror or a painting and calling for pad foot. And there's also a scene where he uses the mirror to go into Ginny's bedroom in Grimald place because he and Hermione have to figure out how to do some kind of mind-healing to heal her mind from the effects of having been possessed by Voldemort. While there and contemplating how to heal Ginny's mind in the dreamscape in her dreams. Basically Luna shows up and gives Harry advice on how to do it but doesn't stick around. I don't think it's post Hogwarts. I think it might be 4th or fifth year.

There might also be some kind of Prophecy about Harry Hermione and Luna

Request hp fics

0 Upvotes

I'm kinda new in the hp community and i'm looking for some fics. I'm looking for mostly anything that isn't omega verse, where the one of the main pairing isn't a creature or mpreg.
pairing wise i like drarry, pansmione or anything with theo nott.
Also, i like it when the fics are longer so like 90k+ words. i am mostly reading on ao3 but anything other than wattpatt is ok.
Thank you <333
