What makes Harry Potter fanfiction with bashing funny?

Well, there are fanfics that bash certain characters in a funny way. Some might have Draco Malfoy slipping on banana peels every time he tries to be mean to Harry. In some fanfics, Filch might find himself chasing after a broom that has a mind of its own and keeps making fun of him. Also, fanfics where the Marauders play pranks on the teachers who are particularly strict can be really funny bashing fanfics.

Not really. The vast majority of Harry Potter fans love the original series and its characters. So, fanfiction that bashes the main elements of the story is not as popular as positive or alternative - but - still - respectful fanfiction. However, there are some niche groups who might be interested in it, usually those who have very strong opinions about what they perceive as flaws in the original work.

Well,'molly bashing' in Harry Potter fanfiction is the phenomenon where Molly Weasley is not depicted favorably. Some fans might feel that in the official story, Molly has some traits that they want to explore more critically in their fan - created stories. For example, her role in the relationship between Ron and Hermione or her influence on the Gryffindor students. By bashing her in fanfiction, they can rewrite scenarios and relationships in a way that suits their own creative vision, even if it means making Molly look bad.

In Harry Potter fanfiction, the crossovers can be a great source of humor. When characters from Harry Potter meet characters from other universes, like having Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes team up. The contrast between their worlds and personalities can lead to many humorous interactions. Also, the misunderstandings that can occur in these crossovers are hilarious. Maybe Sherlock is trying to figure out how magic works and completely misinterprets it, while Harry is just baffled by Sherlock's deductive reasoning.

There could be several reasons. One is simply to add drama. A lot of fanfiction writers thrive on creating conflict, and what better way to do that than by taking on one of the most beloved houses in the 'Harry Potter' series? Another reason might be personal bias. Perhaps the writer had a negative experience with someone who identified strongly with Gryffindor, or they just don't like the traits that are typically associated with Gryffindor, like impulsiveness, and they use fanfiction as a way to express their views.

Not really. While there are some fans who engage with 'harry potter family bashing fanfiction', the general Harry Potter fan base is more interested in stories that follow the spirit of the original series, like Harry's battles against Voldemort or the friendships and romances at Hogwarts. This type of bashing fanfiction can be a bit polarizing, as many fans have strong attachments to the families as they are presented in the books. So, it doesn't have the widespread popularity that other forms of fanfiction about the series do.

Probably not as popular as the regular positive or canon - compliant Harry Potter fanfiction. Most fans love the characters and the world, so bashing everyone might not appeal to the general fanbase.

Funny bashing fanfics add humor by taking the traits of certain characters and exaggerating them. For example, if a character is known for being strict like Umbridge, the fanfic might show her getting extremely flustered when students break the rules in unexpected ways. It's like taking the character's normal behavior and cranking it up to eleven. Another way is by making the 'bad' characters the butt of the joke. So if Draco is usually a bully, in the fanfic he might end up in really embarrassing situations like getting his hair dyed bright pink by a spell gone wrong.

One example could be those fanfictions where Draco Malfoy's haughty attitude gets hilariously deflated. There are some where he tries to show off his pure - blood superiority but ends up in comical situations, like accidentally getting his robes caught on a broomstick while trying to intimidate Harry and his friends. Another type might be where the over - the - top strictness of some Hogwarts professors is exaggerated for comical effect, like Professor Snape being so strict that his potion explodes when he sneezes because he's so focused on scowling at students not following the rules precisely.

There could be all sorts of what ifs. Maybe what if Harry was the one bashing Snape or vice versa. It really depends on the creativity of the author.
