I originally đã đăng this as Kieran, at RPG-D and at my own Harry Potter RPG's forum. But I thought this would be useful for Harry Potter fanfiction writers in general as well.
There are countless ways bạn can perfeclly easily bring a muggle main character into any Harry Potter story hoặc RPG & have a whole world of possibilities open for it - even if they don't know hoặc never learn about magic's existence! They can know hoặc learn, of course. Just, they really don't need to in order to be endlessly and colourfully written to a muggle's full potential.
If interested in how I connected my muggle characters to the HP universe, see link.
IDEAS FOR MUGGLE CHARACTERS IN THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE
X A muggle can come across a magical creature somewhere in the world and begin to study it. Even just that can provide a lot of interesting and colourful events without the muggle gaining any knowledge of magic's existence. (You know, not all creatures classified as magical, actually have magical powers. And the muggle myths and sách don't include every creature that is real and aren't entirely accurate about those that are.
X Ghosts are real in the Potter universe. A muggle could be a ghost buster even without knowing about magic's existence at all.
X There could be a Poltergeist in a muggle's home.
X Even a muggle can become a werewolf and without needing to know about magic's existence. Or, they could be a werewolf hunter! hoặc a vampire/vampire hunter. (In my RPG / người hâm mộ vision, ma cà rồng aren't the undead. They're a combo of the Hollywood vampire and the real life disease. And even in the HP universe general if my memory serves correctly both ma sói and ma cà rồng are considered human and thus hunting them is illegal? But that would certainly be illegal for a muggle in the muggle society alone.)
X Does a muggle believe his hoặc her eyes? Where does learning about magic lead them - into the wizarding sociery, hoặc into therapy, hoặc somwhere else? One small department in the Ministry can't possibly hear about and track every muggle who's wittnessed magic, and even if they at some point did catch up to each individual tons of stuff could've happened in between. And not every muggle needs to be obliviated.
X A muggle could be like Vernon Dursley. That kind of a muggle might be especially delicious to write about if the person doesn't know about magic's realness but occasionally runs into it.
X Even a worse muggle could become a modern ngày witch hunter. It doesn't even require knowledge about magic's existence – it's enough that the person believes and is deeply afraid of it. After all, that's all the Witch Trials were in real life. They could these days take any form, as in the character doesn't necessary have to be a raving murderer about it.
X hoặc maybe a muggle is a wanna-be witch/wizard with a completely wrong idea about the matters because he/she doesn't know about the real thing. There could be tons of these type of characters.
X A muggle can be in a relationship/married to a witch hoặc a wizard, knowingly hoặc unknowingly.
X A muggle-born's parents could find out about magic before Hogwarts invites the child in, because the child has manifested accidental magic since early childhood.
X hoặc maybe a muggle simply forms a close friendship with a magical person, in which case the friend's need to hide magic can provide all kinds of situations and even problems.
X There could be muggles who were abducted and tortured bởi Voldemort hoặc Death Eaters in the war but never killed because of Voldemort's sudden disappearence and following breaking up of the DEs. Such muggles have lots of different paths to take, depending on what exactly happened to them and what they believe happened to them.
X As for stuff simply between two muggle characters...Well, for one the wannabe witch/wizard thing works between any characters, but one other fantastic example of an interesting relationship type is the relationship between the FBI agents' cáo, fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the '90s TV series The X-Files. Mulder believed in the supernatural, especially in aliens whereas Scully was a passionate woman of science. Of course in the case of their relationship and story their line of work and soulmate...ness provided tons of additional awesomeness, interest and loveability, but basically such belief-system dynamic can provide lots of interesting and complex possibilities in any setting and world.

I know that you-know-who is very cruel and very dark. However, what made him to have these personality. I mean when he was a child, he was lonely and he did not know anything about magic and the wizarding world. He was confused. Therefore, he Mất tích his controland caused the dark lord today.
In short, I want to say that the Dark lord is very cruel and dark,but there are some reasons that caused him to be a dark wizard.
I think the dark lord is very poor because he does not know tình yêu and thereis no tình yêu in his world. He is lonely.At the last moment of his life,he still did't know what is tình yêu and he didn't have any friend!
How about you? What do bạn think about you-kno-who? Can bạn think some reason that caused Tom Riddle to be a dark wizard?
Many of us are familiar with Harry Potter's Diagon Alley but somehow... it sounds weird to hear A Diagon Mall. I am a third năm student taking up Advertising and we are assign think of a topic that suit our satisfaction. Our topic is about Thematic Branding and I am thinking about doing the Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Since the place is already a commercial place for the wizardy world I have decided to pick it up as my thesis. Now I would like to gather các bình luận about my proposal about Advertising Diagon Alley and make it not just an ordinary place in a magical world.
Since the 7th book is out and has probably been read bởi most of the Harry Potter fans, does this really mean that the Potter mania is over? When I finished the book, I immediately reread it just trick to myself into thinking it wasn't over. For a while I was in a state of Potter denial. I kept thinking that it's not over and there will be loads thêm sách after the 7th. I have finally realized that it's over and done with. But it got me thinking.
Will we ever have another great series like Harry Potter?
It's possible that we might not see another great series for 5, 10, hoặc even 20 years. It might not be as good as Harry Potter, but there's hope.
But maybe we won't have to wait. Maybe the Potter mania isn't really over. With Fanfic, Fanart, Wizard Rock and everything wizard related the Potter legacy still continues. So, maybe it isn't the end.
