== The world in Harry Potter is a fantasy of Shinji from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]. ==
Harry is a skinny [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]] kid who is perfectly normal aside from being destined to save the world with magic. Shinji is the same, only he's supposed to save the world with the products of Science. HPverse magic causes Science-powered things to go haywire, and so the EVAs could never have been created. The entirety of the HP story occurred before Second Impact. Characters include Hermione (then later Ginny) being Asuka, Voldemort being the messed-up bit of himself that Shinji can't handle (soul-swapping, anyone?), and James Potter's death at the hands of Voldemort and later reverence is Shinji's lust for patricide and inability to accept it. Ron (replaced by George, because Shinji [but not necessarily Harry] was gay for Ron) is the kid from his school that gets himself killed fighting an Angel in Shinji's place, and the bit at the end of book 7 at wherever the mental King's Cross Station was had been a projection of Instrumentality and an aside to the entirety of Harry Potter being a not-quite death hallucination. HP contains only hints at Rei, and no direct references, because Rei, quite frankly, freaked the hell out of him.
* ''Hints'' at Rei? Luna Lovegood is what Rei could be if she was in the magic world instead of being a disposable clone! And Cho Chang ''might'' be Kaworu - someone he trusted and loved who just was a traitor.
** Uh, Luna is eccentric and Zen-like, not emotionless, and don't confuse Cho Chang with [[Battlestar Galactica|Boomer]] - Cho just has poor taste in friends (the book) and was slipped Veritaserum (the movie). Besides, a more appropriate allegory would be that young Dumbledore is Shinji (or maybe Asuka, he ''was'' that full of himself), Grindelwald is Kaworu (the poisonous best friend/love interest), and Ariana is Rei (emotionally stunted girl with access to uncontrollable power). Dumbledore's sincere attempts to change the world "for the greater good" nearly helped destroy it.
Line 123:
== Parselmouths and the associated reputation for Dark Wizardry date back much farther than Salazar Slytherin, at least [[Conan the Barbarian|to to an age undreamed of, after the oceans drank Atlantis...]] ==
* Voldermort is just the latest in a long line of snake-themed strangely compelling Dark Wizard warlords.
** He'd honestly meant to kill Harry Potter in a more sensible manner, but he just was [[Card -Carrying Villain|unable to make himself do it any other way.]]
*** It's a pity Harry was living in an modern industrialized nation; instead of rotting in the closet under the stairs, he could have been out in the fresh air, building muscle on the [[Wheel of Pain]].
**** Hmm... that would make Ron a surfer, but Hermione would probably get killed by Nagini. And Cho or Luna would probably be some kind of Demon Witch.
Line 202:
 
== The Salem Witches' Institute was a hopping nightclub formerly run by [[Sabrina the Teenage Witch|Salem Saberhagen]]. ==
And it wasn't ''in'' Massachusetts, it was just ''named after'' [[NamesName's the Same|Salem]].
 
== [[The Bible (Literature)|Jesus]] [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|was a wizard.]] ==
Line 268:
 
== After the last novel, Harry is sent back in time to the 1800's ==
[[ItsIt's a Wonderful Life (Film)|He names his son Henry.]]
 
== The Veil of Death... ==
