Harry Potter Story Ideas

by sapphireeaglequill

This is just going to be a dump zone for any story ideas and prompts that I get that are Harry Potter related. I don't care if you want to use them, just send me a heads up if you do. I might create a story myself from one of these, so don't surprised, and even if I do, I won't take them off.

2. Circus AU - HP

This prompt requires Harry to run away from the Dursleys before he turns nine years old, I really don't care how, as long as he ends up in a circus willingly, then I really don't care. I got the inspiration for this prompt from MagnaVictoria's fanfic, "Snake Charmer", on Archive of Our Own.

1) Harry mus leave/run away from the Dursley's house before he turns nine

-This is so that if the author wants Harry to actually go to Hogwarts with his year mates, he would have had time with the circus before then

2) Harry must join the circus willing

-I don't like stories where Harry is sold to someone, it just seems super creepy to me

-I would prefer that Harry is recruited into the circus, personally

-It's truly up to the author

3) Neither the Dursleys or Ms. Figg report that Harry is missing

-Arabella Figg Bashing is encouraged

-So is Dursley Bashing

4) Harry must be a performer in the circus

-Animal tamer

-Snake charmer

-Big cats

-Acrobat

-Fortune teller

-Tarot Cards

-Magician

-Modern Magician

-Illusionist

-Dancer

-Fire dancer

5) Who found Harry first? I don't care. It's up to the author, but here are some suggestions:

-Death Eaters are bored so they go the circus

-Yeah have fun with that

-Hermione goes to the circus

-She recognises the magic from Harry's performance and contacts Dumbledore

-Hermione bashing is recommended for this one

-Snape is Harry's escort

-Hogwarts letters are too confusing for Dumbledore or McGonagall so they eventually go to Snape for help

-The circus travels constantly, so there is no fixed location for the letters to be addressed to

-Harry thinks of himself as a different name, so the name that Harry names himself as is who the letter is addressed to

6) Harry is very street smart

-Harry is very independent and intelligent and trusts his instincts more than other people

-More an animal person than a people person

-Is not enchanted by the idea of magic

-Very reluctant to leave behind something to the point that if he can't take it with him then he ain't going

-Author's choice on what the something is

-Harry is very well traveled

-Knows many languages and cultures

-Author's choice on if Harry is already knowledgeable about magic

-He is very much a survivalist and a conservationist

-Is offended by the waste of resources and unappreciative nature of British wizards towards nature and magic

All I ask is for you to send me a link to the new story in the reviews please.
