Harems? No, never. Polyamory, maybe, but it has to be done correctly. These types of relationships are hard, and if any of the partners are insecure or jealous, it just leads to a toxic relationship. Which is why I never see it working in Hp fan fiction, I don't see how teens could have the time or energy to make it work properly. Nor why they would be inclined to.

 

Now that could be interesting. Harry as a cult leader.

Otherwise, no, it doesn't work.

 

"Guaranteed pregnancy with Parselmagicks.

MUPS. Always late."

 

don't forget about "it's bigger on the inside" aka expansion charm to go with it

 

Someone please write a cultleader!Harry fic. I'm guessing there are probably a few smut fics like that but a serious Charles Mansonesque Harry would be interesting to read.

 

I can see it... Harry teaches his disciples at the DA that they are the reincarnation of the original founders, while he is the heir of Merlin, and sends them on missions to attack his enemies, Snape and Dumbledore (who he imagines to be a typical manipulative!Dumbledore). He even starts a war with the goblin nation when they refuse him entry to Merlin's legendary vault (because it doesn't exist).

 

I mentioned it before, I'll say it again, I could see it working with Harry, Ginny and Luna specifically because Luna and Ginny always seem so supportive.

Hermione also seems like a person who wouldn't tolerate another person in Harry's life if they were a couple.

From a Luna perspective she strikes me as more open ended.

Cho? Hell no, she barely works well with just another person in her life, split attentions? Not happening.

Ginny perspective? Hermione might be pushing it but plausible. Luna yes, I could see them having a thing for each other or at least Luna for Ginny on top of Harry.

Tracy and/or Daphne? Sure because canon has very little to say on them.

Harry perspective? He has a hard time juggling his life. Case and point Book Six and Book Seven. He'd need to match his group love with people who work well together.

Story wise? A good writer can make it work.

Padma and Parvati, same as Daphne and Tracy.

 

Because sisters obviously love to bang each other? I'll agree with your other opinions mostly, but indian twins… the only thing tougher to sell reallistically is Fleur and her little sister.

 

This would be funny as shit, honestly.

 

Witches and wizards don't have sex. They use magical fertility clinics.

Just ask Hagrid's mom.

 

Engorgio.

FETUS DELETUS!

LUBRICUS ANALUS!

 

If I'm being honest, I'd probably enjoy a story including a polyamorous relationship that actually portrays the relationship dynamic in a realistic and interesting way.

 

Harry Potter and the 13 Inch Cock is how I think it's done, obviously.

 

Harem Harry doesnt work. But there is nothing beyond belief about him being a bit of a player, having numerous girls but at different times.

 

Or at the same time, as long as they don't know it and never meet each other.

 

Oh, I provided a few links to certain archives here: https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showpost.php?p=331543&postcount=52

There are quite a few stories which really might be of interest for you.

 

So, did we read the same books? Harry seems to have much better grasp on the deeper understanding of magic than any character his age and arguably better than Voldemort who has fallen victim to Harry because he didn't understand the deeper forms of magic or made assumptions about them.

Harry might not be the most studious person in the world. He's not really sitting in front of books unless they particularly interest him, but he does understand magic.

One of the earliest examples that we see of this is in third year with the time turner. He realized he saw himself cast the Patronus charm and knew he could cast it because of that. He asked Hermione if that made sense and she replied with an "I don't know-Look at Snape."

Then in the 4th book while he didn't know why he needed to push the connection into Voldemort's wand, he knew that he needed to do it so much so that he was concentrating more than he ever had in his life. There are a few important things to get from this scene. First, it wasn't some epic battle of wills that fanon makes it out to be nor was there one ball of light directly in the middle of the wands. There were several beads and Harry focused on the one closest to Voldemort's wand.

Voldemort looks almost fearful of what is happening around him. He doesn't even seem to understand that he should be pushing the bead of light like Harry does, and Voldemort is considered to be a genius who is incredibly talented with magic. At 14, Harry understood something in that moment about magic that Voldemort didn't seem to get.

This is from the seventh book in the series, and it shows Harry using his understanding of magic on a more subtle level. And then later on in the book, you see him use his understanding of wand lore to defeat one of the greatest wizards to ever live. Voldemort's own assumptions and lack of understanding is what cost him that fight.

You can go reread the entire scene with Dumbledore at King's Cross too. That's a great one for showing how well Harry gets magic. Dumbledore doesn't really give him the answers to how he could survive another killing curse instead he simply says that Harry already knows and Harry figures out the magic that let him survive a curse that has killed 100% of people not named Harry Potter on his own.

Voldemort's own lack of understanding related to what he did the night he tried to kill Harry and what he did by choosing Harry's blood to create his body was part of his undoing, and Harry figured it out by himself. I can't stress that enough. He figured out something like that at 17 years old and only 6 years of formal schooling where he was far from a bookworm.

Dumbledore goes onto state that Voldemort and Harry have both journeyed into a type of magic that is unknown. How many 17 year old kids can claim that? This is one of the best chapters for showing exactly how well Harry seems to get magic.

There might be other examples in the books as well, but these were the examples I could think of off the top of my head to go look at in order to reply to this.

People really don't give Harry nearly enough credit for some of the stuff he does in the books. They seem content to write things off at luck instead of bothering to look deeper at some of those scenes. I guess it is because he isn't written as a bookworm and we don't see him in the library constantly, but he is rather brilliant.

 

Huh... I never seriously considered the pairing, but it seems kind of obvious now. I am intrigued.

 

So tier 3 Hermione, tier 4 Ron and tier 3 Harry won against Voldemort and his followers.

Harry is lucky and lazy and Hermione just a know-it-all.

Right.
