There was a post earlier about recommendations for books for a Harry Potter fan (which since then since then been removed), so I open this one instead

    If you want to give it a try, there is the very good Victoria Potter series: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13795605/chapters/31714617

    Victoria Potter had always known she was different. No matter how hard her Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia tried to pretend otherwise, she could do things they couldn’t, and see things they wouldn’t.

    It was only when Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts School came to visit that she realised just how different she was. Sorted into Slytherin, in her first year at Hogwarts school she would find true friends, learn magic, and discover the secrets of the Houses of Hogwarts.

    Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. AU world with a canonical tone. No rehash of the stations of canon. No bashing. No kid politicians. No 11-year-old romances.

    Another great recommendation is The Changeling: archiveofourown.org/works/189189/chapters/278342

    Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven years to figure out why.

    The style is very good, and the story quite fascinating with a lot of world building and believable dynamics in Slythering.

    Finally, if you are into next generation stuff, Questions and Answers: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3954448/1/Questions-and-Answers

    When the past and present collide with the Potter/Weasley children… A bit AU with characters’ names and some pairings.

    Some of it made it to my headcannon.

    Let me know if some of them were interesting to you!

    Depends on what you’re looking for, but I just reread the Arithmancer series by White Squirrel, and was loved it. One of my favourite AUs

    Thanks, didn’t know that post was removed. I wonder why?

    I’ll repost my recommendations here:

    My go-to recommendation is Grave Days (FFN and SIYE), by Northumbrian.

    It picks up immediately after the battle (right down to Kreacher’s sandwiches) and consists of 15 chapters that are canon compliant to the books. Northumbrian (in my opinion) comes closest to nailing JKR’s writing style, while also incorporating some excellent worldbuilding.

      I wonder why?

      The OP probably decided to remove it. Thank you for posting your recommendations again!
