    What if there was a spell or ritual like the Impure World Technique in Naruto but in HP that would be a pretty cool move to use against somebody hella powerful or you out numbered you could raise a coffin out the ground and out comes dead dumbledore powers fully in tack or even tom riddle.

    So in order to be fair to you I looked up what the Impure World Technique is, me not being a fan of anime. This may be more down to my boredom than my fairness, but it has the same effect.

    The first result I come across describes it as being a "technique used to revive the dead".

    So...necromancy, cause we've never had that hinted at in canon, and we've certainly never seen that in fanon. I think its an excellent idea, I reckon someone should write a fic with Harry as a powerful necromancer...Think of all the cool stuff he could do...

    I thought this name looked familiar. He's made a few threads before, which were just as retarded. Thought he'd have been banned by now.

    I think Thalarian(?) wrote an excellent fic based on this idea. Its still legit to this date. >_>

    Just putting it out there.

    Dont see why this is retarded and why i should be banned, but it was just on my mind so your saying that if a wizard brought back another wizard powers intact to do his bidding that wouldnt be cool.

    That has been done again and again and again. As minor plot device or as central element of a fic.

    Voldemort as necromancer is downright fanon, and Harry as necromancer is a usually bad cliché.

    Well, I believe calling it an absolutely terrible idea is a bit much. Sure, as it's suggested in the OP it doesn't sound readable...

    But it's not the idea that matters so much as the quality of the writer, and the spin he puts on the idea. Rarely is anything actually original written. I seem to recall at least one excellent story in WBA in which Harry was a Necromancer of some sort.

    Note to Ocho: Perhaps using a comparison to Naruto wasn't the best way to start off your thread. Next time search around a bit before you toss up a thread, there are some Necromancer Harry stories. They are not usually written well at all though.
