We are never told what happened to Neo's remains, although the machines assure us that his body was not liquefied and used to nourish the others still inside the Matrix.

What if Neo and the Smith Virus were never really destroyed, rather the Machines reconfigured their RSI into a new form? Linked at the most basic level that the Matrix could allow, the Neo and Smith RSIs cannot be separated. Therefore, one of the anomalies (preferably Smith) should be annihilated. But how are the Machines to accomplish this, even within the Matrix itself? The answer lies within Neo and Smith themselves: Either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives.

And so, the Machines created the wizarding world, and have sewn it into the fabric of the Matrix. Two opposing factions are constantly at war throughout the history of the Wizards: the forces of Light and the forces of the Dark. The Machines ensure the rise and fall of Dark Lords by manipulating events using specialized programs, which they have implanted into each of the factions. One such program is known to those within the Matrix as Albus Dumbledore.

Eventually, the Machines manage to produce two entities which are the closest they could get to reproducing the conflict between Smith and Mr. Anderson. One of them is Harry Potter. The other is Tom Riddle. One of them must be destroyed.

One of the first ideas for a Matrix crossover I've had, and one of the only ones that appear (at least on the surface) to be plausible. Help me to poke holes in it and make it into something workable.

 

So what significant part does the matrix play in all this. From what I understand, the matrix is just the wizarding world history. What is the big reason for the matrix in the story at all?

 

Intriguing o say in the least. The parts fit together nicely. Neo and Smith ingrained into eachother just Harry and Voldemort sharing a connection......I too would like to see this being done eventhough I am not into cross-overs.

 

Exactly. If you're going to use the Matrix as an overlying entity, add in some Matrix-y elements. Preferably ones without the "whoa".

 

To answer your first question: Harry is either a clone made from the genetic data of the original One, or simply the closest match the Machines could find in terms of phisical attributes.

The Source (that is, the Matrix mainframe controlled by the Machines) is what Magic draws itself from. When Tom attempts to kill Harry on the 31st, he fires off both harmful code (the AK) and the remnants of Neo's RSI (implanted into his spell by the Source). When the spell hits Harry, the RSI is infused into him through his forehead, and the Source AKA 'Magic' immediately sheilds him and reflects the AK back at Tom.

Which humans are you referring to in your second question? If you mean the Zionites, I haven't really mapped out anything relating to them yet.

I based the idea off the Matrix because I could draw parallels between events in the Matrix and Harry Potter. I was hoping to create a crossover that wasn't completely fucked up, like some of the trash that authors are churning out. I once read a crossover that had two fandoms intersect for no reason at all. There ought to be a plausible relationship between two fandoms before you meld them together, or else it ends up reading like shit.

On a different note, I don't really feel like taking up my own idea, because I don't feel that I've honed my writing skills enough to write something so complex and keep it from sounding like it came from a dry textbook.


I deeply apologize for any grammatical errors or runon sentences in my post.

 

Reincarnation of Smith and Neo. So, basically Harry Also becomes ubder powerful in the end. That is interesting to read since i havn't read those types of fics in the end.

 

With Harry being Neo so would he be able to manipulate the Matrix Code (wandless magic) and be uber powerful. Like Qujou Akaash said, there are thousands of uber powerful!Harry stories around, the only diffrence in this one would by that magic would be called Matrix Code or something similar...

 

Any competent author would know to steer clear of those cliches. Obviously to make this work, Harry can't find out about who or what he really is until late in the game. I'm picturing more of a mystery genre here.
