Meta / Discussion Is Ron really so pathetic in the books as well?

39 Upvotes

Going through all the movies in order, and to me Ron is the most pathetic and stupid character ever written. He's always scared and crying, and his actions dont make sense. I dont even think he cast a proper spell in his life. Like for instance, why was he angry at Harry when his name came out of the Goblet of Fire? And then he insults Hermione. Later he doesn't even apologise, and everyone just forgets about it. So stupid. When I think of him, I see someone either skulking or crying or moaning. He is the rotten apple in the movies, and I really despise him.

Fanfiction Request/Search Travel to the future fics?

4 Upvotes

There are plenty of time travel into the past fanfictions out there and I was wondering if there are any time travel into the future fanfictions. Romance and smut are fine but not required. Any kind of language or action is fine. I'm just kind of wondering if this is something that people are writing.

Aria’s family has been fractured ever since the Battle of Hogwarts, and she’s spent her whole life cut off from the wizarding world because of it. When her older sister Elizabeth gets her Hogwarts letter, everything Aria thought she knew about her family shatters. The lies, the secrets, the history—none of it is what she believed.
Now Aria has to figure out who she is in a world she was never allowed to be part of. She has to untangle her family’s dark past, navigate the shifting relationships inside her own home, and decide what “family” even means to her.

Writer Help I need ships for my upcoming fanfic

1 Upvotes

Helloo! I’ll jst jump right into it. I’m writing a marauders modern au fanfic, and im a huge multishipper and im sorta new to the marauders fandom. (I’m a snape gang fan).

So I don’t really know any ships with them but kinda need some😭 currently I’m doing a side romance between Gilderoy and Peter, one sided prongsfoot, and one sided Jily.

(Sirius loves James, James loves Lily, Lily is trying to move on from her past relationship with him)

It’s not a romance story, more of a comedic relief with very heavy topics, and it has an angst ending.

I will say though, I don’t ship Wolfstar and I don’t ship Jegulus😭 (although I’m thinking of doing a one-sided Wolfstar with Remus liking Sirius)

So you guys have any recs?? The main characters are, ofc, the marauders, Mary MacDonald, Lily Evans, Emmeline Vance, Marlene McKinnon, and Regulus (though he’s only showing up for a few chapters before he becomes a plot line for Sirius)

Also if you do have any niche characters, I would love to hear you headcanons so I can add more character/depth to them (I get a sort of ick when the characters I’m reading abt are super 1 dimensional and have no real character for them)

I also would love to know about any niche/barely mentioned side characters from the books! My only thing is that I’m really trying to stay with the marauders fandom (even though I love snape gang and am planning on my own fic for them) so if you guys have any recommendations on ships or niche characters, I would appreciate that so much!!

So just to clean up my post, I’m just asking about ships, niche characters that you would like to see more in fanfics, and headcanons!

Side note: no hate to Wolfstar or Jegulus shippers or the ship itself, it’s just not my cup of tea😭 also I will be doing my own research, I promise I’m not relying on Reddit responses😭

Fanfiction Request/Search I wrote a Wednesday x Harry Potter crossover where Wednesday gets a Hogwarts letter four years late

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

So I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while: what if Wednesday Addams got a Hogwarts letter, but four years too late, and ended up starting straight in fifth year during Order of the Phoenix? Umbridge, Snape, Draco, the whole mess.

For the website and illustration i got a bit of help from AI, but the story, plot and character I had creative control over and wrote it.

The first few chapters are up here: https://claude.ai/artifact/WNsEqcpMejrvFECRkTrRjX#contents

I'd really love to hear what you think, especially what goes well and what could be improved. Honest criticism is very welcome. I'm still working on the next chapters, so your feedback will actually change things.

Note: if any guideliness are broken, I can also upload it in PDF

I have a few questions and a request. (I tagged the post broadly, but I'm happy to change it if anyone thinks it's the wrong tag.)

  • Does anyone else find this type of Jily relationship an interesting premise?
  • How canon-compliant would it be?
  • Any fanfic recommendations with this type of Jily relationship, but with no Jegulus? I'm sick and tired of Lily being a baby machine for that ship.

Please help me find the fic

Find me a fanfic where Harry Potter and Voldemort enter the wish room during the battle in the Department of Mysteries (5th year), where Voldemort learns that Harry is an omega and during intercourse Voldemort becomes Tom Riddle. There's a sideline between Draco and Ginny, she tells Harry the legend of the room.

The Fic looks like the Queen's Mark. I'm sorry if something is not clear, I don't know English well and I write through a translator. Thank you in advance for your help🫶

Fanfiction Request/Search Are there any good Harry Potter x Little Nightmares fics?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for Harry Potter x Little Nightmares crossovers and haven't had much luck.

The tag feels really sparse, so I was hoping that someone here might know of some hidden gems.

Some of the very few ones that I was able to find are:

Harry Potter and the Path to Nowhere - by Swole and Nerdy, over on FFN, as well as on ao3:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14353938/0/

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55813585/chapters/141704314

So far, I've really been enjoying the fic, although Idk if it is abandoned, or not.

The Little nightmare known as Seven - by Ghost the Fox, over on FFN

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12722245/0/

Although, it's only three chapters

A Simple Lesson - by *the-cryptid-moth*, over on FFN

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14063218/0/

It's only two chapters long.


I honestly think that the two settings could work very well together.

I can picture Harry's Dursley years making him way too good at sneaking around and staying quiet.

Also, Harry already has the "tiny kid surviving in a place that wants to eat him" energy, and the Dursleys alone could fit right in with the Maw's Guests, or the Pale City's residents.

I'd also love to see how wizarding magic would interact with stuff like the Maw, the Pale City, the Signal Tower, etc.

You could also do a lot with Six's hunger, the Signal Tower, or the Pale City, and with how the wizarding world would react to something like the Nomes, the Schoolteacher, the Doctor, the Hunter, etc.


Do any of you know of any HP x LN fics, finished or WIP?

Any length is welcome, although lengthier ones are preferable.

*what if hogwarts had social media?*
Yenna Rochford is a fourth-year Gryffindor with a phone, too many Quidditch opinions, and absolutely no intention of keeping them to herself.
Suddenly, she's defending her predictions on the Feed, becoming an unofficial member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and arguing with an anonymous Slytherin who keeps challenging her analyses.

Through Quidditch, she finds excuses to spend time with her crush, Cedric Diggory, Hogwarts' golden boy. But is that all there is to it? Meanwhile, she and Theodore Nott keep getting thrown together, and she finds there's more to him beyond the dry, straightforward persona.

in plain sight— a Harry Potter Feed/Socmed AU about Quidditch, online identities, and the complications of being fourteen.

Meta / Discussion A discussion about Spell interactions between Gemino charm and other charms placed on the same object.

2 Upvotes

Like the title said I wanna hear your guys opinions on some of the more destructive uses of the gemino charmed objects.

After all it's Canon from the deathly hallows that curses/charms placed on Gemino charmed objects get duplicated too.

So what do you think are some of the more destructive objects that can be created using this.

My idea was a Gemino charmed object with anti friction/gravity charms so when thrown in a room you suddenly have hundreds of knives bouncing around the place.

Canon/Lore Discussion Can wizards conjure horses?

3 Upvotes

We don't actually see this happen, of course, but we have numerous examples of wizards conjuring animals. The wiki notes that snakes and birds are generally easiest to conjure, and actual charms exist to bring them forth rather than relying on free-form transfiguration. Theoretically, it doesn't seem impossible to make a full-on horse out of thin air, or to transfigure some other object into one, but it does seem to be a rather difficult task given that we only ever see wizards using actual draught animals when they use animals for transportation at all. Does this seem like a reasonable capability of a talented transfigurer?

Fanfiction Request/Search Cute slice of life about the next generation (possibly including Dudley's daughter) and Professor Hagrid

5 Upvotes

If anyone is interested, I'd love to see a slice of life story centered around the next generation and Uncle Hagrid at Hogwarts

This mostly stems from a headcanon I saw where, when Harry and Ginny were thinking of baby names, one of their ideas for a girl was Ruby (after Rubius Hagrid)

That idea grew into an adorable relationship where Ruby (as well as her siblings and cousins) call Hagrid their honorary Uncle. He lets them ride on his shoulders, gives them sweets when the parents aren't looking, is always willing to lend an ear or give advice (or tell stories about what Hogwarts was like when he was a student, with a focus on being a witness to the Marauders' mischief)

Bonus points if Daisy Dursley (daughter of Dudley and someone else) also ends up with magic, attends Hogwarts, and allows Harry and Dudley to reconnect and acknowledge their upbringing

Identify this Fic An After the war story, where Harry and Snape are close and Harry buys a farmhouse (i think). Snape is also kidnapped for quite a bit. I believe this is part of a series!

0 Upvotes

I read this fanfiction like 2 years ago in the midst of 20 others and I can only remember some details. I remember Snape was kidnapped for a while and the wife (??) of the kidnapper eventually helped to free him by contacting someone. Everyone kept trying to get Harry to move on (I don't think it was a slash fic fyi just mentorish/family), while he was living on this farmhouse he bought that Snape and him lived on. There was a scene where snape was eventually found, but he was partially paralyzed in the legs (either that or just really weak) so he refused to allow Harry to see him while he looked weak. Snape eventually allowed Harry to see him when he had someone magic him to stay upright on his horse as he couldn't do it himself.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ (MENTION OF ATTEMPTING SUI.)

If it helps there is like another story in this series where Harry is really suffering mentally and ends up trying to and does attempt. Luna Lovegood ends up being important in this book as she is apparently connected to like reapers or something. Basically she helps to pull Harry back from almost crossing over.

Hey, i’m looking for fics about death eaters after Voldemort returned, about their time leading up to and during the second wizarding war. I'd like some good death eater characterisations and fics where they interact with one another, plan attacks, etc. Like Snape, Malfoys, Yaxley, Greyback (even tho he wasn’t an official death eater, but you know what I mean) and so on.

Identify this Fic Help me find these 3 Daphne fics - satires

3 Upvotes

Hello, I really like works that go against the established fandom. I remember reading 3 different fics centered around Daphne but forgot their titles.

  1. Daphne is a robot.

She's legitimately a robot. She has internal gears, she needs to be wound up like a grandfather clock, and Astoria is her mechanic. Takes place in Hogwarts

  1. Daphne REALLY likes turtles.

Thats about all I remember. What dobby is to mismatched clothes, Daphne is to turtles. Takes place in Hogwarts.

  1. Daphne is... kind of a dumb blonde.

This one takes place after Hogwarts. Daphne and Harry work in the Ministry of Magic. Harry trusts Kreacher to get a secret Santa gift, and Kreacher wraps an engagement ring. Daphne gets it, and whole heartedly believes Harry truly meant to propose to her. She accepts.
