''Fics that re-tell canon from another character's POV and focus on that character's experiences.''

* Recommended by Anthiens
* ''Synopsis'': It's the exchanges between Tom Riddle's diary and Ginny Weasley...
* ''Comments'': Tom Riddle/Voldemort's [[Mind Rape]] of Ginny. It's ''really'' horrific but it's ''damn'' fine writing. Oh Gods, it's awful but it's so fricking well written.

* Recommended by cardboardtubeknight
* ''Synopsis'': An alternateuniverse post-Hogwarts story about the problems posed in the after effects of the war for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and those close to them.
* ''Pairing(s)'': Harry/Ginny Ron/Hermione Bill/Fleur
* ''Comments'': I'm new to this fandom but from the way people talk about it, this was the end all tell all of Empathic!Ginny stories during the long summer. The most impressive thing is how this story expands on the canon from when it was written and comes up with plausible events to fit with what's already happened. Once I started it, I had a hard time putting it down. Another impressive thing about this is the development of the relationships, this isn't really a fluff and quick pay off story, they make the characters work for it.

* ''Synopsis'': Ron discovers that there are worse things than becoming his
* ''Comments'': One of the stories that turned me from indifferent benevolence to actual respect for Ron.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4172226/1/A_Hero A Hero]'', by Celebony
* Recommended by Comartemis
* ''Synopsis:'' It takes a lot of courage to face down a dark lord once, much less four or five times. But it takes a completely different brand of courage to question the way things are, to deal with the idea that your world isn't as perfect as you think it is. Dudley Dursley, meet character development.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20141212151645/http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=2023&chapno=1 Mind's Eye, Soul's Reflection]'' by Mysterious Muggle
* Recommended by: J the Drafter
* ''Synopsis:'' The fifth ''Harry Potter'' book from Luna Lovegood's point of view, in third person. Explains what Luna experienced, why she thinks the way she does, and the way she grows as she acquires friends.
* ''Comments:'' This is a wonderful character study on Luna, as well as a wonderful story. It's the only fic I've read that actually ''explains'' Luna in a deeply thought-out manner.

* Recommended by boonerunner
* ''Synopsis'': Follow Neville Longbottom as he rises to the challenge that is the title Commander of Dumbledore's Army, doing his best to keep the school alive and safe from the Carrows while preparing for one last all-or-nothing stand against Lord Voldemort... and maybe finding love along the way.
* ''Warnings'': Possible Triggers, Chauvinistic in places, Dark Tone, Blood, Gore, Character Death.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3701099/1/Elogium_Sine_Nomine Elogium Sine Nomine]'' by Rhaella
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Oneshot. Regulus Black. To sign the letter is to acknowledge the deed, and even now, he cannot fully bring himself to do so.
* ''Comments'': A unique and insightful look into the character of Regulus Black. This fic is a short narration of Regulus writing the letter that Harry finds with the fake necklace horcrux, describing his thoughts and state of mind, and I have to say it's one of the better written Harry Potter fanfics out there. A must read for anyone interested in this ''very'' minor character.
Line 83 ⟶ 65:
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4772789/1/Six_Years_Six_Applicants Six Years, Six Applicants]'' by Sarah1281
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Chronicling Dumbledore's never-ending and sometimes desperate attempts to fill the Defense Against the Dark Arts postion with anyone but Snape and Snape's persistent attempts to land the job anyway.
* ''Comments'': This yearly ritual is a good way to flesh out two indomitable personalities. Excellent humour, then becomes something more emotional as the books darken.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131115113052/http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': The secret diary of Hermione Granger, Year One. This story was written prior to the release of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
* ''Comments'': This (and its three sequels) are a retelling of the first four books, as told by Hermione to her enchanted diary. A retelling of the fifth book was started and abandoned, but the first four are fantastic, and remain some of my favorite Harry Potter fanfiction, some five years after I first read them. Hermione's voice is spot on, and the diary's "brain," Gwen, is a great character in her own right.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150121013407/http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/alicat/TS.html Thin Skin]'' by Alicat
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Marietta didn't want to betray her friends to Umbridge. Why did she? What is it like being Cho's best friend? Will the word SNEAK ever be erased?
* ''Comments'': An interesting look at why Marietta snitched to Umbridge. Also covers her Hogwarts life from her first year to the end of her sixth year.
Line 129 ⟶ 110:
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2454211/1/A_Feast_in_Azkaban A Feast In Azkaban]'' by ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/125508/Nyx_Fixx Nyx_Fixx]''
* Recommended by Goodwrench
* ''Synopsis'': How did Sirius Black Spend twelve years in Azkaban and come out relatively sane, when others in his situation went mad or died of despair in a matter of weeks?
* ''Comments'': A powerful angsty work. The author's written many excellent stories.
* ''Tags'': Slash
''[http://community.livejournal.com/omniocular/211820.html The Lions of Gryffindor]'' by lyras
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': (from the author:) Neville's seventh year at Hogwarts presents many challenges, but he is his parents' son.
* ''Pairing(s)'': None

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3089700/1/bStallions_b Stallions]'', by Harmonic Friction
* Recommended by: Sator
* ''Synopsis'': Tom Riddle is nine, almost ten. He's not made of cold, hard metal. Contrary to popular belief, he likes being touched.
Line 154 ⟶ 135:
* ''Pairings'': Various, all either canon compliant or at the very least not contradictory of canon.
* ''Comments'': An absolutely fantastic anthology series about numerous [[Harry Potter]] characters, both the main characters, major secondary characters, and minor characters. Each chapter, one hundred all together, focuses on ten little details about the characters. Many are humorous, heartwarming, and tearjerking. Very much in accordance with canon (with the exception of a few details established in interviews with and comments from J.K.Rowling), it absolutely nails the characterization established in the series, exploring and expanding upon it.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3124159/1/Just_a_Random_Tuesday Just A Random Tuesday...]'' by Twisted Biscuit
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': One ''very'' long Tuesday in the life of Minerva McGonagall. With rampant Umbridgeitis, uncooperative Slytherins, Ministry interventions, an absent Dumbledore and a schoolwide shortage of Hot Cocoa, it's a wonder she's as nice as she is.
* ''Comments'': This Minerva. Oh my Lord, ''this Minerva''. She is ''perfect''. Sarcastic, severely put-upon, and the next-best thing to unflappable, this is the Minerva half of fandom has suspected lurked under the flawless bun and stern [[Death Glare]] of everyone's favorite Deputy Headmistress since the moment we met her. This fic will crack your ribs from the laughing, and you will never look at Minerva McGonagall the same way again.
Line 176 ⟶ 157:
* Recommended by Auromence
* Synopsis: Everyone's heard of Dedalus Diggle's display of shooting stars in Kent. What most people don't know is why he did it.
* Comments: A very short oneshot that still somehow manages to provide depth to an else-wise irrelevant and passing act.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6242630/1/bAstorias_b_bGuide_b_to_Slytherin_Guys Astoria's Guide to Slytherin Guys]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/937434/OurLoveIsForever Our Love is Forever]
Line 183 ⟶ 164:
* Pairings: Draco/Astoria
* "'Boys will be boys. Slytherins will be Slytherins. Combine the two and there will be trouble. On the pitch. In the dorm. On the bed. In everyday life. You were warned. Now, act accordingly.' Astoria imparts some timeless wisdom."
* Comments: Follows Astoria's third to fifth year, aka Books 5-7, subtly moving from [[Crowning Moment of Funny|fluff]] to all the [[Darker and Edgier|darkness of]] [[La Résistance|war at Hogwarts]]. Easily the most realistic depiction of [[OC Stand
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8119395/1/ Traitor]'' by ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1311319/ SadPanda7]''
Line 189 ⟶ 170:
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: Peter Pettigrew is a traitor. He betrayed everything he loved. Why? It was a question of strength. Peter wasn't strong enough.
* Comments: A pretty chilling account of how everything may not be as it seems with Peter Pettigrew and his betrayal. Some scenes read uncomfortably like rape.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4480568/1/Of_Recoil_and_Grace Of Recoil and Grace]'' by ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/929663/cupid_painted_blind cupid-painted-blind]''
* Recommended by
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: She is a romantic at heart, she thinks. If she could only believe in romance. /The slow damnation of Merope Gaunt./
