Line 2:
A ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Fan Fiction]] currently published on [[Fanfiction.net]], written by a Troper, [[Tropers/Vifetoile|Vifetoile]], ''The Ollivander Children'' tells the story of [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the Ollivander family]], centering around Mr. Ollivander, the slightly creepy wandmaker first met in ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone''. In ''Half-Blood Prince,'' Mr. Ollivander is captured, and that's the last that we know of him until ''Deathly Hallows.''
As an [[Elsewhere Fic]], ''[[The Ollivander Children]]'' focuses on Mr. Ollivander's grand-niece, [[Frozen Flower|Calliope]], who has been continuing her post-Hogwarts education in Boston, and along the way befriended a [[Muggle]] named Mark Printzen. When Calliope hears about her uncle's kidnapping (from her somewhat estranged best friend, Nymphadora Tonks), [[Call to Adventure|she returns to England]], becoming reluctantly involved with the [[La Résistance|Order of the Phoenix]]. However, through an accident she leaves her wand behind, where [[Genre Savvy|Mark]] finds it -- and he decides to [[Love Makes You Crazy|look for her in England]], having [[The Masquerade|little idea what he's getting into]].
The story also dwells on Mr. Ollivander in captivity, and his captor's "experiments"; Calliope's older brother [[The Stoic|Linus]], who works as an [[Easy Amnesia|Obliviator]] with the Ministry of Macic and who ends up crossing paths with Mark; and the memory of Benedicte Ollivander, who died in the first war against Voldemort, but whose [[Unperson|memory is in considerable danger...]]
Read ''The Ollivander Children'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6297946/1/The_Ollivander_Children here]. It is currently '''complete''', and a sequel, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6882687/1/The_Ollivanders_at_War The Ollivanders At War],'' is in progress.
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: It gives Mr. Ollivander, the mysterious and little-seen wandmaker, more screen time -- although really most of the action is taken up by OC's.▼
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Mark and Andrew are starting to really stand out opposite the odd Calliope, Linus, the rare Turpin and Thorfinn, the very weird (for Muggles) Januarius... Even "Tess" is short for the [[Classical Mythology|ancient Greek Tisiphone.]] (On a linguistic note, Mr. Ollivander's first name, Servaas, is the one Dutch name among a slew of English and Greek names. Mysterious.)
* [[Affably Evil]]: Turpentine.
Line 22:

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Calliope and Linus' father is alive, but living in France.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Again, Calliope and Linus, and their mother and sister.▼
* [[Elsewhere Fic]]: Type 2 -- canon characters appear, but the story revolves around original characters.

* [[For Science!]]: Turpentine again.▼

Line 55 ⟶ 61:
* [[Muggles]]: Mark is one, Andrew is a Muggle-born wizard.
* [[Non-Idle Rich]]: The Ollivanders are loaded, but they value the fact that they work for their money, and don’t flaunt it.
* [[Original Flavor]]: Attempting to match the later ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books, or, that failing, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140208173447/http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=304&chapno=1 Interwoven], or, The Seamstress and the Lovable Stray.''
