I know. Another bad crossover idea from me.

Harry, after defeating Voldemort, expends too much of his magic. He enters a coma and the healers put him into a special regeneration chamber that will feed him and allow his magic to come back to him over time.

Thousands of years later and the unresponsive Harry is still stuck in his cocoon. He is the only remaining vestige of a broken wizarding world. The machines have wiped out the people that posed the most serious threat - wizards. Their magic makes the machines useless, so they can't be allowed to exist.

The catch: seeing as Harry never woke up, there is a myth about him: he will return under the worst circumstances possible.

When the humans go to Zion, all wards have fallen. They find Harry, stuck in his chamber with the myth in written form.

Harry is left in a sacred chamber in Zion with the humans believing him to be the One. Morpheus, on the order of the Oracle, still searches for the true One. Neo.

Neo is taken to the chamber on his first visit to Zion - he is drawn to the chamber and gets sucked in. Harry wakes up.


What do you guys think?

 

I think it sounds pretty good, but you would have to flesh out why Morpheus still searched for Neo.

Also, is Harry put into Zion by humans or magicians?

Otherwise it sounds awesome, I'd certainly read it.

 

An interesting concept. The way you're outlining the story it sounds like Harry will be the real-world "One" while Neo remains the "One" for the Matrix. Depending on how it was written that could either turn into a really great fic or a really terrible one. I'd say it'd be worth the risk to read though.

 

Ah but what if they are both the one, only each two parts of the one. Neo being sucked in to the chamber could be him and harry merging. In the last matrix movie, neo shows he has unusual power not just inside but outside of the matrix as well, yet it is too much for him to handle and he ends up exhausted.

So what the one gains from harry is magic and all harry knows about using it, plus part of his personality. Then what he gains from neo would be his unusual power, the other part of his personality and all neo knows how to do.

Rather than guess which is the true one between them, humanities only hope would be combining the two. Only together could they have the power and skill needed to defend zion and possibly even end the war at some point.

Though maybe there should be a catch, when they have merged, instead of an adult, the one is a mere baby, thus they need to raise him and he needs to learn, because the skills, powers and what he gained from harry and neo, are more instinctual knowledge.

That way the story could chronicle the ones childhood and eventual battle with the machines.

Another thought is maybe the machines have wiped out all wizards not just purebloods and halfbloods, but removed the possibility of muggleborns from occurring as well. So the one would eventually need to uh reseed magic into the population of zion (means at some point in his teen and then adult years he could be having a lot of intercourse or giving uh samples for invetro, depending on the stories rating of course).

Really I guess having him be a baby then growing up would depend on how long of a story it will be.

 

Okie. This is an interesting and perfectly viable explanation for how to put Harry Potter into the Matrix world.

But we still don't have a reason why. Just to retell the events of the movies with Harry in Neo's place? How are things going to be changed or different with a powerful wizard instead of Neo? Would the point still be to free humans from the machines? Or to kill all the machines?

I think you've got an idea on how to write the crossover. But you'd still need a plot to make a story worth writing or reading. And hypocritical as I might be, removing almost all of the JKR world except Harry doesn't often work.

 

That's the problem, I don't know. I don't plan on writing it, at the moment. I have too much to do (exams, my other fic).

They'd also have to retro-fit Harry with an interface (for lack of a better word), so that he could enter the Matrix.

Harry reseeding the magical world could be good. It reminds be of Nonjon's Browncoat - with a lack of goblins though.

I did think about them being combined, but left it open-ended. Maybe Neo's influence gives him wandless abilities? I'd imagine that Harry would enjoy flying without a broom.

 

Not bad it sounds good so far but could easily turn bad so be careful.
