Harry Potter Keep taking holders, but not thanks to the Next adaptation in charge of HBO but by the Continuous controversies that stars in its own author, JK Rowlingevery time you have a keyboard nearby.
It is not usual for the creator to become the greatest enemy of his own franchise. His opinions about the transgender community have not been the result of a Punctual factor del enemy of anyone who does something wrong on the Internet, the “get out of context”: The author does not hide her nature at all Terfcontinuously forcing their millions of followers to face the debate on the separation between work and author.
Not only is the public discontent with Rowling. The original casting of Harry Potter’s films (Daniel RadcliffeRupert Grint or Emma Watson), Bridgerton’s star Nicola Coughlan or the one who is perhaps the most beloved (and multiple) actor in recent years, Pedro PascalThey show their complete opposition to the opinions expressed by the author.
As we see, when a work has such a massive character the reactions of the community are usually visceral. The fandom has a constant need to interact with the content, either with the authors, actors, the compulsive purchase of merchandising or immerse yourself in the world Reddit. But there is an even more creative way and that has the advantage of not needing the original creator: Fanfics. Yes, those stories based on existing works created by and for fans.
It is not something new and we have already talked about how movies like Star Wars They have set foot to fanfics and subsequently to works published in a traditional way that have become sales successes. It is not surprising that another member of the Olympus of the franchises such as Harry Potter generates content everywhere and is one of the greatest sources of inspiration in the community of the fan stories.
‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘Game of Thrones’ or ‘Marvel’ drag an endless number of followers, but the Fanfic redoubt, the DIY OF THE NARRATIVEit is a haven of peace and love where there are not so many controversies or fights so you think of the end of one of your favorite series. Creativity flows on platforms such as AO3 (Archive of Our Own, one of the most popular fans works repositories) or Wattpadwhich has more than 90 million users per month and served as an exit box of authors as popular as Ariana Godoy (Brothers Hidalgo trilogy) or Mercedes Ron.
I encourage you to try the limits of these platforms, since it is very difficult for a book, series or film to have its own fanfic, especially in AO3. If we do a quick “Star Wars” search, it provides us with 244,349 results, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” 40,654, “Detal” 6,713 and “Harry Potter” nothing more and nothing less than 528,283 results. Recall that they are not searches, or references, they are complete stories: people who sat down to write for a good time, and even days, weeks or months, and that uploaded its creation to the platform.
Harry Potter, but without Harry Potter
So yes, entering the world fanfic is something unabarcable, but if you are a romantic reader and navigate #Booktok possibly the algorithm has already made you know about novels and fanfics inspired by Harry Potter.
The most interesting point in this case is that the focus would not be in Harry and in possible variants or added to its canonical history. Which further Interest creators and readers are two other characters: HermioneDraco, and in particular how his love story develops. Yes, do not be scared in case you have missed a chapter or a scene of the movies, because this is born in the community itself.
This is how the so -called “drarom” fanfics are born in the most “Reylo” style (word used to designate the romance between the characters of Star Wars, King and Kylo Ren), and as we already anticipated when we talked about Romantasy or the current phenomenon of romantic literature, the true romantic readers are not formed with a rum/Hermione, the trend is falling rendered to a good Enemies to lovers And that’s why the Gryffindor-Slytherin conjunction of Hermione and Draco is perfect to fill this box.
We find hundreds of fanfics or novels that are inspired by these characters that inhabit the magical world, but if you need help to know what to start, it is not what to worry about. The truth is that within this amalgam there are two aspects: stories that would enter the category of Dark fantasy Where Voldemort would have won the war and, on the other side, the land ROM comrecounting the encounter of Draco and Hermione years after the events of the book.
As the number of stories in this regard is huge, the reading community itself exercises as a sieve and provides lists and tops about the dramas that you cannot miss. Without a doubt, the most famous fanfic and that revolutionizes Booktok is ‘Manacled‘of Senlinyu. With this Dramione We are located after Harry has lost the war and Hermione is captured by the deadly.
If this premise catches your attention and you want to go to read it right now, there is a problem, already It is not available In AO3 since February of this year. The author, due to an editorial contract, withdrew ‘Manacled’ and now becomes called ‘ALCHEMISED‘, dating its publication for September 23, 2025. This is not something new and happens increasingly regularly. In the world Fanfic La Libertad is absolute but when making a publication to use, names and locations have to be different from those of the work on which it is based.
Thus in ‘Alchemized’ we will find the same essence and the same trope but with names, locations and magic systems away from the world of Hogwarts. The base is the same, but the shadow of doubt is always constant: is the reason for being of the fanfic to enter the traditional literary circuit?
Stories of all colors
Another favorite of the Dramionic world is ‘The Auction’. On this occasion after losing the war, the witches are auctioned to the deadly. We are facing another example similar to ‘Manacled’. Its author is one of the romantic names, Julie Soto (‘Never forget me’) and on July 2 we will have in the ‘Rose In Chains’ bookstores, transformation of ‘The Auction’ for editorial publication.
But we continue to have a long list of fanfics in its original mode such as ‘isolation’. Locating us after the war, Hermione returns to Hogwarts to continue her studies and has to help hide Draco who is working for the order; ‘Love Vincit Omnia’ tells how after having broken his relationship ten years later Hermione and Draco meet again; ‘Measure of A man’, here Hermione is hired by the Malfoy mansion.
It also highlights ‘Greenlight’, following the history of the couple in an expedition in search of a mythical cave and the consequences of the return home; ‘Remain Nameless’ narrating the encounters of the characters years after the war or’ Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being In Love ‘, a’Forced proximity‘(forced proximity) manual.
Despite being against it, the characters are forced to work together to find a cure. In this case, its author Brigitte Knightleycontinues to exploit the possibilities of the world Dramionethis time with the publication of a new Enemies to lovers With a similar premise, ‘the irresistible charm of your worst enemy’.
In parallel there are also works Dramione that are not born from a previous fanfic as we can verify with the recent publication of ‘Academia’, the new series of Romantasy of Nerea Llanes. In its first installment, ‘sunset’ we enter a magical world in which two characters belonging to faced orders are obliged to collaborate.
The value of fanfics is double: on the one hand they are Much more constructive That the everlasting complaint in networks about JK Rowling, and on the other, gradually releases this from his intellectual property and his ideas to participate to the community of the magical world of Harry Potter. Yes, it is natural to find mediocre works in the meantime volume of creations, but on other occasions it is the base and quarry of authors that can become authentic referents and sales successes.
What is clear is that, leaving behind the subjectivity of the quality of quality, this mechanism of molding and making you a franchise is a much healthier way than dumping frustration in social networks.
