Harry would develop a stronger sense of intellectual curiosity. He'd be constantly seeking knowledge, not just about Voldemort but about all aspects of magic. He might even start his own study groups in Ravenclaw. His friends would also be those who share his thirst for knowledge, which would further fuel his development. He'd probably become more of an academic star, impressing professors with his well - thought - out answers and research.
In this fanfiction scenario, Harry's character would grow in a more nuanced way. He'd still have his heroic qualities, but they'd be tempered with Ravenclaw's wisdom. He might be more diplomatic, using his intelligence to resolve conflicts rather than just fighting. His self - confidence would also grow from his academic achievements, which would in turn make him a more well - rounded and influential figure at Hogwarts. He could use his position in Ravenclaw to bridge gaps between different houses, being someone who values knowledge but also understands the importance of courage, loyalty, and ambition.
If Draco was sorted into Ravenclaw, his character would develop in a very different way. His sense of self - worth would no longer be tied so much to his family name and pure - blood status. He'd have to rely on his intelligence and wits. He might become more empathetic as he's exposed to different types of students in Ravenclaw. He could start to question the bigotry he was taught at home and become a more open - minded wizard. Also, his rivalry with Harry Potter could take a different turn. Instead of being a pure - blood supremacist - driven rivalry, it could be more about academic competition or different views on how to use magic for the greater good.
Well, it could be really interesting. Harry might be more focused on academic pursuits in Ravenclaw. He'd probably spend a lot of his time in the library, researching magic that others might overlook. His friends could be the more studious and intellectually curious students in Ravenclaw. And he could use his intelligence in a different way compared to when he was in Gryffindor, perhaps solving magical mysteries through pure brainpower rather than just courage.
He'd be more cunning. In Gryffindor, Harry was brave and impulsive. In Slytherin, he'd learn to think before acting. He might also become more ambitious, not just about defeating Voldemort, but about changing the reputation of Slytherin.
If sorted into Ravenclaw, Harry's personality would develop in a different direction. He'd start to value knowledge and wisdom more. He might be more inclined to solve problems through brainpower rather than courage. His sense of self - worth could be more tied to his academic achievements, and he might be more reserved in social situations as Ravenclaw has a more cerebral environment.
She might be more introverted. In Gryffindor, she had to be a bit more outgoing to fit in with the brave and bold nature of the house. But in Ravenclaw, she could focus more on her internal thoughts and intellectual pursuits. For example, she might spend more time in the library alone, researching complex magical theories.
His character would become more complex. He'd have to balance his own values with the Slytherin ideals. Harry would likely become more politically astute as he'd have to navigate the power plays within the Slytherin house.
His character might become more introspective. In Ravenclaw, he could spend more time thinking about the deeper meaning of magic and his place in the wizarding world. He may be less impulsive compared to his Gryffindor self, and instead, make decisions based on careful consideration and knowledge.
Their relationship could start with mutual respect. Harry, being a curious and brave wizard, would be intrigued by Rowena's wisdom and knowledge. Rowena, seeing Harry's potential and his unique experiences, would take an interest in him. They might start by having conversations about magic, with Rowena sharing her ancient insights and Harry contributing his modern - day experiences. As time goes on, they could become something like mentor - mentee, with Rowena guiding Harry in areas of complex magic.
In such fanfics, Harry often becomes more intellectually curious. For example, he might be constantly exploring the library and seeking out old tomes to learn more about magic. His problem - solving skills also tend to be more refined as he uses his Ravenclaw - like thinking. He may approach the threat of Voldemort not just with Gryffindor - style courage but also with well - thought - out plans based on his newfound knowledge.
Typically, it changes the relationships. Instead of being close with Gryffindors like Ron and Hermione, he forms new bonds with Ravenclaw students. His focus may shift from Gryffindor - like bravery to Ravenclaw - centered intelligence. For example, he might spend more time in the library.
