My Harry Potter Fan-Fiction Story!

Wow, writing this was so much harder than I imagined. I spent a couple days on just this short piece. I feel like I can never edit it enought. This would never be a copy I would send to a publisher! I have so much respect for J.K. Rowling because she spent 17 years writing the Harry Potter novels! I can't even imagine!

I was unable to upload this to fan-fiction.net right now because they make new members wait a couple days before they upload in an attempt to block spam. However, I will be able to upload it in a couple days.

I am still putting my creative gallery together. I can't decide if I want to rewrite and change Harry Potter of if I want to keep the story as is. Either way, I would like to put together a photo gallery of images to go along with the story.

Here is the plan or outline for what my fan-fiction story will consist of:

Epilogue:

Nineteen Years Later

My plan for the story is to have the same characters show up at the train station to see their children off to Hogwarts. However, I don’t want to focus on the children like the original did. Instead, I want everything to seem normal and happy, seemingly perfect. Once the children get on the train, the dynamic changes. Instead of making small talk, the adults start a serious conversation. They will discuss the new wave of power that is coming through and what they will do to maintain order. They will reminisce about the days when they were in school and how their parents thought they were so safe but really…

Then I want the story to cut to the children on the train. They will also be talking about something much more serious then when they left their parents. The children are as much aware of the new power struggle as their parents, and they have their own plan on how to deal with it from within Hogwarts. This will show that, just like their parents, they have a knack for getting themselves in dangerous situations…

For the collaborative trailer, I would want to include some images that relate to my project. One image that comes to mind is the Time Magazine cover from 2003.



I really love this image and I think it does a great job of showing how much of a phenomenon Harry Potter became. I would also like to include some pictures of the books themselves. I would like to find pictures of the books from different countries. I would like just have the images show how much of a phenomenon Harry Potter became world wide.

Im not sure if this will work or not but... here goes

I am still unsure of what I want to do for my creative response to my project. One thing I was thinking about doing was writing my own fan fiction. Something else I was thinking would be some kind of photo collage that shows how Harry Potter has stayed strong in popularity over the years. However, this idea is similar to what my trailer was. I am obviously going to work on my trailer more and tweek it, so this might end up working out. I'm still a little unsure of which direction I want to go in.

During class, we talked more about the creative response to our projects. I think I would like to do something where I re-write the ending of the last Harry Potter book. I'm not sure if I want to just re-write it the way I would've wanted it to end or if I want to make it an interactive reading. Maybe have links that people can click to help direct the story in several different directions. I would need to do some research on how to set something like that up though.
