Harry Potter HP/Yugioh! cross

[Innortal]

Was a plot bunny I wanted to flesh out, hoping it was a sign of my muse returning.

Anyway, Dudley decides to get into the Duel Monsters fad, Harry picking up the cards Dudley tosses away/decides he doesn't want anymore after Vernon got him a better one.  Before Hogwarts, Harry uses a mask, sneaks into a tournament Dudley is in, and makes it to the finals, with Pegasus watching, demonstrating the new Dueling Ring (think what was used on his island and Kaiba first faced Yugi and his grandfather in).

Not sure about how to give Harry some access to Shadow Magic.  Either

1. By being the future Master of Death, he gets access to it
2. The remains of the gold used to create the Millennium Items was taken, a band made from them (ring for finger), that he comes across.

Anyway, because of it, Harry ends up creating cards based on his dead family, in effect, bringing them back as Duel Monster spirits (think how the Dark Magician came about).  Started out with just his parents, may expand to his paternal grandparents as well. 

But I need to define their abilities, because being magical, they would have effects.

Lily: Red Enchantress.  She would have low defense points, but as long as she remains face-up and in defense mode for three turns (just like the 3 chances Voldie gave her), all attacks must hit her, she destroys all attacking monsters, Harry takes a 100 LP hit (like Harry getting the scar).  Would work best with Swords of Revealing Light.

James: was thinking Erfking (with the stag helm) or maybe the Trickster King.  The effect would have to do with pranking, maybe stealing a magic or trap card from opponent's deck and use instantly.

Dorea: Black Enchantress.  Not sure of abilities or effect, but given her family name, I'd say something dark.

Charles: not sure, originally thought Runic King, but not sure if JKR gave him any backstory.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Charles and dorea are fanon names. JKR gave us Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. Think she was smoking crack that day to be honest. Fleamont was good at dueling and potions if i remember correctly.

So then Fleamont would have an effect like a potioners, and Euphemia would have a sound effect, maybe change the position of one card per turn, from defense or attack to the other?

Taking the latest movie into account, there's a great plot device in Shadi, the teleporting weirdo who likes handing out previously unheard-of, dangerous magical artifacts out to orphans after murdering their abusive caretakers.

For the Millennium Band, a possibility, although it would need a backstory.  Maybe what was leftover from the forging of the Millennium Items was thought banished to the Shadow Realm, until something called it back.

Duelist Kingdom was the debut of the KaibaCorp Battle Box/Dueling Arena, in terms of full response.

Are you planning on using any details from the mangá version? It deviates significantly in a few ways, such as the different arenas and the fates of some characters, like Bandit Keith and Pegasus both dying.

Would it really, though? I mean, there certainly wasn't any foreshadowing or back story for the Quantum Cube. You could just make something completely random up and use the cube's existence as justification.

Or, you could have Harry get a piece of stone that used to be part of the slabs the Pharaoh's court used to seal various Ka into. You could write it so such an artifact wouldn't normally retain enough magic to be able to help someone establish a connection with the Shadow Realm, but Harry's own magic gives it enough of a boost for it to work.

Or there's the Millennium Spellbook, where the ritual to create the seven items came from. There's been no mention of its fate in canon (although I personally think that the Quantum Cube might be the result of another spell from its pages.)

Both work.  It could have simply been a ring made at the end, snuck out by a surviving priest or slave, passed along for centuries until it ended up in some junk shop, and then into Harry's hands somehow.

As for manga v anime, I'd have to lean heavier onto the anime, as I haven't read the manga for it.  Not sure if I could find it online.  I do know a few scenes that changed, such as Bandit Keith getting killed by Pegasus's gun finger, revived for something involving the Dark God (counterparts to Egyptian God) cards, and Peg's getting killed by Dark Bakura when he took the Eye.

Duelist Kingdom was the debut of the KaibaCorp Battle Box/Dueling Arena, in terms of full response.

I was pointing towards the arena-size dueling rigs, such as what Kaiba and Yugi/Grandpa faced each other on.

 

[H-Man]

The Dueling Arena is the animé version that was big-sized. The Battle Box is the mangá version that was used to torture Mokuba as well.

Had a thought at work, essentially a way to summon Harry's guardian spirit/ka beast.

Three equip cards: Wand of Destiny, Stone of Resurrection, and Cloak of Invisibility.  Tribute all three to summon Death (0000/0000).

Effect: Once per turn, Death may attack one Monster/Spell/Trap card, and destroy it and take no damage.  Any card targeting Death is immediately destroyed.  Death takes up three Monster and Spell/Trap spaces, and anything placed in those spaces is immediately destroyed.

Basically, up there with the 10-star + monsters, and God cards, not something Harry gets immediately, maybe something Pegasus creates after using his Eye on the horcrux and learns about Wizarding Tales, and leaves to Harry.  Also need a way to either destroy Death or remove him from play, such as targeting the equip cards and removing them from play.

The idea behind it being that when Pegasus tries to read Harry, he gets the horcrux first.  Interested in how Harry is keeping a soul fragment from passing on, he tries to read Harry, but is blocked by Death.
