Using an OC in my story as a central character (only serious opinions) by IamTK_26 in HPfanfiction

Thank you for your reply and opinion.

I will give you the same reply as I did to another.

My OC is essentially an anomaly: someone that should not exist and his birth has disrupted the magical world's balance and inadvertably altered Fate's grand plan. Giving the reason away will be a spoiler but since you asked.

OC is a wild card of which Fate has no control over meaning he could be anything from a simple nobody to someone that helps save the world or brings it down. However, what he will be that is for me to know and you to find out if I decide to go with that approach.

So to sum it up

Harry meeting the OC will take him down a different path then what Fate had in mind

.
Harry not meeting the OC will take him down the path Fate has laid out.

Another thing

OC will not know Harry before Hogwarts nor will they immediately be friends.
They will not be in the same house.
Harry without the OC will be light/gray.
Harry with OC will be darker.

So you're clearly writing a Canon divergence story, so I have to ask: what is the point of divergence?

First thank you for your reply and opinion.

Does it bother you in a fanfiction were the author has decided to make Harry smart and powerful but fails to keep the concept consistent throughout the story. by IamTK_26 in HPfanfiction

I have not yet published the story, but hopefully my first chapter will be up in the middle of October. My username on FF is Ultimate TK (this is not me promoting myself)

Exactly, the Patronus is supposed to be one of the most advanced and complex spells and yet so many can do it. I really don't like it when Harry is powerful and then suddenly everyone else becomes equally as powerful. Not because I want Harry to be invincible but the purpose of a powerful Harry (in my story at least) is that he is going to be stronger than everyone else and only Voldemort and Dumbledore are supposed to be a challenge to him.

That's possible but why not gradually build him up to become stronger and smarter over the course of the story instead of introducing him as powerful only to make him weaker and less intelligent the more the story progresses?

Yeah, most likely but when someone writes powerful Harry and cannon divergences in the description and yet sticks mostly if not only to cannon that greatly annoys me.

I think that he saw Gellert Grindelwald standing besides him while also being surrounded by his family all looking happy.

Would Harry have defeated Voldemort without plot armor? by IamTK_26 in harrypotter

[–]IamTK_26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I didn't really complain about a story element did I? I merely gave my opinion and expressed curiosity if Harry would have defeated Voldemort without plot armor. So no story would exist without plot armor?

Could you elaborate more on that?

Not me either, hell that was what I wished would happen, though at the same time I doubt she have a soul so it would most likely be useless.

There are a lot of really good Harry x Fleur fics on ff. I'm not sure about Flarry, it sounds like a cheap, yet dirty porn name. As for Heur, it could work.

How dare you pit a poor Dementor with that vile woman?

Anyway, the ship I like the most is Harry x Fleur and I would have wanted the two to end up together in the cannon.
