Who could be a new and interesting character introduced in Harry Potter's sixth year in Harry Potter fanfiction?

A young wizard from a far - flung magical community that has different magic traditions. He could be a bit of an outcast at Hogwarts because his magic is so different, but his unique skills could come in handy during the Triwizard Tournament. For example, he might use a type of magic that involves communicating with plants to get through a task.

The character could be introduced as a new neighbor to one of the main characters. Let's say a 31 - year - old witch moves in next to Harry. She is mysterious at first, but as the story unfolds, we learn that she has a special connection to an old dark magic incident that Harry and his friends are currently investigating. This way, she becomes an integral part of the story gradually.

Another plot could revolve around Harry's Occlumency lessons. In fanfiction, it could be that instead of just trying to block his mind from Voldemort, he actually manages to use Occlumency to his advantage. He could start to plant false thoughts in Voldemort's mind through their connection, leading Voldemort astray in his plans.

A magical creature that has the ability to speak and befriend Harry would be a great addition. For instance, a phoenix - like creature that is not as well - known as Fawkes. It could offer Harry advice and help him in the Triwizard Tournament, and their friendship would be a heartwarming aspect of the story.

An old ex - Auror who now lives near Hogwarts. He could have a past connection to Voldemort and some knowledge about the Dark Arts used in the Triwizard Tournament. He becomes an unofficial mentor to Harry, teaching him some unique spells and strategies that are not part of the regular Hogwarts curriculum. This character could bring a new perspective and a bit of wisdom to the story.

Some fanfictions introduce a new transfer student from a far - flung wizarding school. This character often brings in new magical knowledge and different cultural perspectives. Another interesting new character could be a young teacher who has a really unique teaching style. For example, a teacher who specializes in teaching forgotten or ancient magics that the students are eager to learn.

A young Auror who is assigned to help guard Azkaban but has a secret sympathy for the prisoners. This character could add a new dynamic to the story as they struggle between their duty and their conscience.

There could be a new professor at Hogwarts. Maybe a young and brilliant wizard who has just returned from a long journey in a far - away magical land. This professor could bring in new ideas and spells, and become an important figure in Harry's new path.

One potential new character could be an old hermit - like wizard who has been living in the woods near the manor. He has a deep connection with the land on which the manor stands and can communicate with the spirits of the forest. He could be a source of ancient wisdom for the main characters. Also, a young and adventurous witch who is on a quest to find a lost magical gem that is rumored to be hidden somewhere in the manor. She could bring a new dynamic to the group with her fearless and independent nature. There could also be a magical gardener who takes care of the manor's enchanted gardens and has some secrets of his own.

A wizard from a far - off land who comes to Hogwarts as an exchange student. He could have a whole new set of magical abilities that are different from what the Hogwarts students are used to, like being able to control the weather in a very specific way. This would add an interesting dynamic to the story as Harry and his friends learn from him.
