I've always been of a mixed impresion regarding HP, on one side, the story seems amusing, on the other you have a background that is slightly less desireable than a tannery.
I Don't like the wizarding world, not only is filled with self important people, but it is rushing, head first, to its destruction. (let's face it folks, secrets always are exposed, probably at the worst of times too)
The idea that they consider memory magics ok and have profound issues with killing magic...
Probably it is because I am a big Ultima fan and the WW strikes me as a modern version of Moonshade (not a fun place at all).
So, while this looks like a rant, and sounds like a rant, it is not (only) a rant.
The idea has been with me since I read Harry inverse at the anime addventure, give Harry a competent set of parents, expose it to magic and voila.... (fun, fun).
Rather than using Slayers (as amusing as *that* would be, it is not my idea, wouldn't feel right to use it) I am going to use Ultima, some part after U7, part two. After a hipotetical destruction of The Guardian (no Ultima ascencion folks, I can't stomach that pice of filth). My idea would be to have Nicodemus (one of the top notch arch mages in the land.... probably the top notch, guy used to play games with higher entities) find Harry in the deep forest, accidental magic and a bit of bad luck to get that result.
After noticing both that the neglect and abuse the kid's suffered are not exclusive of his *short* forray in the deep forest, and the kid's considerable magical reservoir, Nicodemus offers appenticeship to Harry...
The core of the idea would be having a Harry that is not only a proeficient mage (well, more or less) but one that's been 'raised' under the eight virtues, particularly the one that matters the most to mages... Honesty, respect of truth.
Only issue here is the time difrerence between worlds, which means for every decade in britannia only a year on earth would pass (mroe or less).
This means it is going to be a considerable more mature Harry that's going to attend Hogwarts (though not as bad as some of those Harry beat Voldie and traveled back in time)
So, the story would tend to deviate from norm and put it in conflict with a lot of people, the good and the bad. Specially with the diferent worldviews.
Negotiating the magics is not that complex. Britannian magic depends on three elements, the reagents, the gestures and the words of power to affect the Aether and produce the result. Hp magic seems to replace regeants for a foci, the wand, and probably uses something else (which would mark the difrerence between the magical and the muggle). in simple terms it means Birtannian magic might not be restricted (The Something else might be needed to create measurable effects or to make the study worthwhile, but at the same time you have the Xenkan Monks...)
so, yrah, I want to write it, and yes I have a love for the unusual crosses (all my fics are one in one way or the other) .
So... how does it sounds so far? think it is worth it?
