The Harry Potter book series ended in 2007, and the finale of the book-adapted film series came in 2011. So until the Harry Potter TV series comes to Max sometime in 2026, that leaves us voided of The Wizarding World. All the more reason why fans of J.K. Rowling’s creation have created their own original stories that fill the online space. Tom Felton says that he and his former co-star Emma Watson feel that fan fiction is not necessarily their “cup of tea,” but still explains why he finds these fan-created stories “amazing.”
Fan fiction is a great way to feel like you’re still getting doses of your favorite pop culture material. Writers can make up their own interpretation of Harry Potter, whether it’s a spin-off, sequel, reinterpretation, or giving characters that were minor characters in the books the heroes of their own story. Then, some fans really take their imagination to a whole other level, creating romances that never would have existed in the original material.
