They're definitely not all good, but a lot of them are certainly more interesting. For example, the fucked-up family dynamics of the Malfoys, Severus' background as bullied kid turned Death Eater, Tom Riddle's family background and circumstances that turned him evil (no one is BORN evil, so something made him that way)... even the Blacks and their crazy dynamics, what with people being disowned left, right and centre... the difference between Bellatrix and Narcissa especially.
Haha true. I actually like these complicated families, more secrets more stories. I didnt even find anything 'wrong' with Dracos mother-other than her marriage, but Ballatrix man
She'll be putting all this in seperate books later on right?!
Canon is what explicitly happens in the books. Fanon is what fan fiction writers generally accept as true - so, conventions in their writing. A big one is that Draco had an abusive childhood, for example. Ginny in fanon has a really fiery temper and a lot of Slytherin-like tendencies. You often see her running off with Blaise and Draco. Another thing in fanon that you often see is that Dumbledore is not entirely good - fic writers play up his manipulative side a lot more.
Cool. Thanks. I read a bit of one of them, and Ginny was the 'bully' or something along those lines
But there were these two books i read. One was about Voldemort being Lilys father, and he was trying to bring her back or something lol, and the other was about how Rons sister-he had an older one:O- and she was stuck in some pyramid, and they found her or something..man they were the total opposite of what JKR is writting!
I like fanon Harry better. For some reason he irritates me in the books. I can't pin my finger on it but I think it has something to do with the fact he's allowed to have certain prejudices that JKR would make us look down upon if they came from any other character. That, plus he had way too much CAPSLOCK OF RAGE during Order of the Phoenix. I liked him - and by extension, the Trio - better in Half Blood Prince because there wasn't always this 'Harry is always right so let's follow him' mentality.
And he ALWAYS saves everyone. He doesnt listen to anyone, which is what puts him in the deadly situations in the first place, then he turns out to be the hero. That really pisses me off.
I find Neville has a kind of shy strength that hasn't really been allowed to come out much. The scene where he was in St Mungos with his mother made me cry - you know, where he went to visit his mum with his grandma, and his mum couldn't do anything but give him the gum wrapper, and his grandma told him to throw it away but he secretly pocketed it...
Percy's one of those characters that I feel has something more behind him that hasn't actually come out. It's like his officiousness is hiding something. I find most of the rest of the Weasleys too cookie-cutter perfect. The twins are amusing, granted, (and I do have a soft spot for fic that shows the twins' soft side and not just their prankster side) and fanon!Ginny is interesting but her canon equivalent is just... lacking any sort of distinctive character.
Agree with the first part, but in the rest of the books/situations he acts like an idiot. I thought Percy was the 'i'm right, you're wrong, end of story' sort of person, which is why i hate him. Like when his parents turned out to b right, and he was wrong, he still didnt bother!
Here's the list of people I'd rather see with Hermione than Ron: Draco, Severus, Tom Riddle (omg, best fic ever!), Ginny, Blaise, Lucius, Remus, Percy, Fred or George, Pansy, and yes, even Harry.
haha
Hermione and Tom Riddle, Draco or Harry would be awesome. Remus is with Tonks, and i want Severus with Narcissa. As for the rest nope. Percy and Lucius= yuk [Lucius is better but i dont want Hermione to be with him], Hate Pansy, Blaise-dont know much about him, but still dont want her with him, and Ginny=HELL NO!
What about Grawp
He likes Hermy haha
