The Most Popular Characters in Harry Potter Fan Fiction
The Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, serves as one of the most popular basis for fan fiction stories. As you know, the final book of the series has long been released; however, the fans continue to follow the phenomenally successful books in other ways such as fan fiction. You should not be surprising that people still cling on to the series. The fantastical Wizarding World is simply amazing, and the beloved characters are too brilliant in memories to forget. These characters live on through stories written by their admirers. You will find that characters, whether a friend of Harry Potter or one of his foes, all have many works of fan fiction out there that focus on them as the highlight. Some characters are more popular than others, usually because of how much they were loved in the original. It also seems that the less there was written of a character in the original, the more fan fiction stories you will find on them. Here are a few of the most popular fan fiction characters of the Harry Potter series:Harry Potter
It is no surprise that the title character of the original work is among the most popular characters you can find fan fiction on. Humble and friendly, he fought the darkest wizard of all time to save people and rid the world of evil. But this is not the only reason fans write about him. There are Harry-Hermione shippers (fans who wanted a romantic relationship between the two) who carry on with their imagination, writing romantic tales of Harry with Hermione as his heroine.
Ronald Weasley
He is Harry's best friend and a funny character. He is loved for supporting Harry and for his awkward moments, especially when it comes to Hermione Granger. He and Hermione are paired up in the original series and you can read on about their married life in plenty of fan fiction stories as well as stories just focusing on him.
Hermione Granger
Hermione seems to be popular in fan fiction for one relationship or another. Other than the common pairings of her with Ron or Harry, you might be surprised to see her in love with Draco Malfoy for a change. Still Hermione is a well-rounded character and fans love this bookish girl. She gives fans plenty of versatility to write about in their fan fiction.
Draco Malfoy
He is the snobby archrival of Harry Potter and does not miss a chance to belittle Ron and Hermione. Why is such an unpleasant character so popular, you ask? Well, he is cool and dark but has shown a sensitive side as well. Fans love him and Hermione together even though he bullies her and she punches him! He is also popular with fans who want to see him paired with Ginny.
Ginny Weasley
You know her as Ron's little sister, who has cherished a crush on Harry ever since the first time she saw him. From a quiet and nervous little girl to a fun and flirty quidditch player, she steals Harry's heart by the end of the original series. Fans like that she grows up to be a feisty young lady and is Harry's true love. Ginny and Harry stories are favorites of many people who did not get enough of this relationship in the original by J.K. Rowling.
Severus Snape
Last but not least, you have the Potions Master. He is one of the most popular of the grown up characters. Throughout the series he was absolutely hated by Harry and his friends, yet, he is a very popular character for fan fiction. Nasty as his attitude was, fans like him. He was a mysterious character and later -- a tragic one. From his unrequited love for Lily to his animosity with James and Sirius, there are many works of fan fiction inspired by Professor Snape.
