    Taken with Harry searching for Lily Luna while while ruthless killing everyone in the way would make a good action thriller fic.

    Not that one you stole and wholesale converted with what may have been find and replace. That turned out poorly.

    I'd love a taken fanfic with Harry Potter or a adaptation of the movie Kingsman.
    For a comedy, I would love a adaptation of a bank robbing movie (Harry/Ron and someone else rob Gringotts?).

    Some manner of Dredd/Die Hard fusion, perhaps.

    I've read one like that, it was called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. You may not have heard of it; it got kind of mixed reviews around here.

    Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter style. A combination of the two works blending together the mythos of the two would be interesting, regardless of how serious it was.
    Dobby the Elf Ranger would be just as good as details on the splitting of the Goblins of Gringotts from the Orcish Tribes.

    You've already converted one movie into a fanfic, didn't you? Do you want to write another one like that thing or what?

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    Indy = Harry
    Short Round = Ron
    Willie Scott = Hermione

    You'd need to tweak all the characters so that they fit the HP characters better, of course.

    Willie!Hermione wouldn't be a night club singer, but the character who had all the archaeological information available. Possibly the one who discovered the problem in India in the first place and called Harry and Ron there to help with it.

    Indy!Harry (hah. hah.) could more or less fit, with Harry having an intuition about dark artifacts as the MoD that Hermione couldn't match with sheer knowledge. Just shift the technical knowledge over to Hermione.

    ShortRound!Ron wouldn't be a kid anymore, of course, but could still play the sidekick/comedy role in a similar manner.

    Make the bad guys into Dark Wizards, leave the overall plot more or less the same with the human sacrifice and whatnot, and you're golden. Solid post-Hogwarts trio adventure.

    How is Indy!Harry more funny than Willie!Hermione?

    - Pan's Labyrinth, minus the ending and with a more magical twist.

    - 21 Jump Street, because the idea of auror!HP (and whoever else) taking on the appearance of a teenager (polyjuice? long-term glamour? ritual?) to infiltrate one of the magical schools is pretty damn awesome.

    After reading this, I'm shocked that (afaik) it hasn't been done before. The right choice of partner would be key to making it fun IMO.

    This, I have seen more than once, but it was Tonks instead of Harry and unabashedly Honks. It wasn't a terribly overused device, to be fair.

    I once had the idea for an Inception style fanfiction. Dumbledore, Snape, Tonks and Harry would use the link between Harry and Voldemort in order to delve into the latter's dreams. Their goal would be to plant the idea that Horcruxes have weakened Tom/made him crazy over the years so he should undo/renounce them.

    This would actually be awesome to read.

    Though I'd personally prefer to read The Last Crusade staring Tom Riddle as Dr. Jones and Dumbledore as Dr. Jones fighting Grindlewald and the Nazis. The timelines would be a bit skewey, but eh.

    I am surprised this has not been done before. It's a good idea, but what if they go into his mind in order to convince him to dismantle the death eaters.

    Idk, Remember the Titans with Quidditch instead of Football, and muggleborns instead of blacks?

    For a debatable level of "good":

    The Fast and the Fantastic: Diagon Drift.

    Auror Harry Potter must decide where his loyalties really lie when he becomes enamored with the illegal broomracing world he has been sent undercover to destroy.

    “One broomstick in exchange for knowing what a man’s made of. That’s a price I can live with.”

    “Are you one of those boys who prefers broomsticks to women?”


    "So if you don't fly to win, what do you fly for?"

    “I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. Nothing else matters. Not the galleons, not the Ministry, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.”

    Action, romance, betrayal, wildly improbable broom stunts, scantily clad women, crime, this would have it all.

    Blundo. Link?

    And to not make this post entirely irrelevant and derail the thread, I'll refer to you guys The Quidditch World Cup simply because of the fact that people seem to love romance, weddings (with other subsequent shit) and drama.
