Salini K. Presents: Indian Harry Potter Fan Fiction and Cultural Relocations

Harry Potter Academic Conference 2025

Abstract
The Harry Potter canon has already been explored in countless angles and recontextualized in multiple settings and frameworks through numerous fan fiction works. Often transformative, these works actively rewrite power and authority, along with enriching the canon by adding more complicated nuances, as it is always limited by the biased perspectives of the author. This paper is an attempted study of Harry’s story repositioned in Indian cultural and geographical landscape using select fan fiction works. In India, magic is not just limited to imagination even now. Here, myth and history overlap in fascinating and at times problematic ways, seeping its way through everyday culture while retaining a rich flavor of local and folk traditions. The various sociopolitical undercurrents that highlight Harry’s story are rewritten through Indian structures embedded in alternative forms of knowledge. These fan fictions’ fundamental function is cultural work more than just imaginative play, and the paper seeks to explore that.
