Harry Potter is BLIND AU
1. Not only the killing curse failed to kill Harry and gave him a scar, It also weakened his eyes that made him partially blind, and it cannot be temporarily removed even when drinking Polyjuice Potion to mimic people who can clearly see.
2. Harry’s eye are still green as Lily’s but they are milky white of shade
3. Harry’s scar has lichtenberg figures that stretched down on his white-ish green eyes
4. Harry can see colors and shapes but it is vague and blurry, his vision isn’t completely darkness
5. Dumbledore asks a muggle-born friend to translate all of Harry’s list of Hogwarts textbooks to braille copies from each upcoming school term in advance so he can read them when he starts attending school. He cast the Feather-light charm on them since braille books are heavy and bigger than normal books, Dumbledore already started the translations process after he delivered Harry in the Dursley’s house.
6. Mcgonagall learned how to use a braille machine to send Harry Potter his hogwarts acceptance letter that he can read after Dumbledore told her that Harry is blind and there is a machine that allows blind people to read letters through touch
7. Hagrid gave him a magic cane in his eleventh birthday (Invented by Dumbledore) that helps him detect and perceive vibrations in the world around him than his regular cane, Thus stopping him from ever tripping again on small things as long it touches any solid surfaces (like Toph from the Avatar)
8. Harry carries a brown shoulder bag with Extension charm to carry all of his large braille school textbooks in classes
9. Harry didn’t have to attend Astronomy class at all because Dumbledore gave a logical explanation to Prof. Aurora Sinistra that he can’t study or learn anything from the subject when he couldn’t observe the night sky since he’s blind. Same goes to Flying lessons in his first year. Harry has extra free time.
10. Hermione taught the Weasley Family on how to use the braille machine to type letters to Harry (Molly was furious when Arthur tried to bewitched it to make it write letter automatically without typing)
11. Harry doesn’t want to wear sunglasses to hide his scarred eyes because he doesn’t want people around thinking he wants to look cool, Instead he wears a white blindfold, Modest boy he is as always
12. Harry has an enhanced sense of hearing that is far greater than average where he can hear any type of sounds at different frequencies from any distances to the point that he can hear people’s gossips below the castle even when he is inside the common room. People sometimes ask him for top secret information he has heard from the teachers “Professor Mcgonagall said…that she will focused our lesson about practising the Vanishing spell for tomorrow”
13. Harry knows when people are lying by hearing their heart rate spiked. Many find it uncomfortable because they can’t hide anything from him
14. Harry can identify and remember which person he ever encountered not with their voices but their own heartbeat. Everyone’s heartbeats are uniquely different and Harry can hear the difference in all of them. Not even polyjuice potion or metamorphmagus can hide their identities from him
15. Harry has a tendency to asked when meeting friendly people what they physically looked like, Ron just say “red hair and freckles” but Fred and George would rather say they are both “handsome and gorgeous” and Lee Jordan is “sexy”
16. With his Parseltongue, Harry befriended a small yet highly intelligent snake that hangs around his neck that relays him everything with good detail if he missed or doesn’t “see” it on his cane, For example. The snake tells him where to grab the correct ingredients in his table during potion class in case he accidentally grab the wrong one, “Grab the lacewing flies in your left…Not that one” or it will described his professor’s wand waving demonstration in class “Flitwick waved his wand in a circle then straight line motion” or tells him the signage of the buildings “Harry the sign said gringotts ” or tells him any incoming flying entities “There’s a bludger heading your way from behind in 3…2…1..Dodge”
17. Hermione is more than happy to read aloud the lesson on their library books for Harry when they are studying new spells and knowledge together, His snake gets tired of reading the contents sometimes
18. Harry has Audiographic memory that gives him the mental talent to perfectly memorise the things he has heard before in great accuracy which he easily received an Outstanding grade in History of Magic by remembering Prof.Binn’s boring words even when he’s not interested in that subject at all. Harry doesn’t need a notebook to write anything to remember them like the others
19. Instead of Quidditch, Harry is more interested in participating in a duelling club then many years would lead him to join the Annual Duelling Championship like Professor Flitwick, Daily Prophet went nuts about it ‘CHOSEN ONE BECOME A DUELLING CHAMPION OF BRITAIN!’ ‘BLIND WIZARD DEFEAT FORMER CHAMPIONS IN AMERICA!”
20. Harry had always been underestimated by many people just because he is blind, But he is good at duelling by detecting the faintest sound and vibrations to locate enemies to his own advantage in any given surroundings
21. Hermione and Ron greatly helps Harry buying his clothes when shopping, Fred and George tried to tricked Harry to wear a black t-shirt with a skull on front, but Molly stopped them
22. Harry is still sassy “I’m so glad enough to be blind, So I don’t have to see your stupid face, Malfoy”
23. Harry is still savage “Sometimes, I heard people said your ugly, Professor Snape…In the corridor, SIR”
24. Many of Harry’s classmates are jealous of him because they have to frustratingly write all of the important lessons by hand while he doesn’t, permitted by every teacher. Few sort of wished they were blind too.
25. Dumbledore hired Remus to have him write Harry’s answer during his NEWT, OWL and Homework papers at weekends. His pet snake tells him the question and Harry would thin then slowly and clearly say his answers while Remus truthfully writes, erase and changed it for him in his parchment, They always do it somewhere private (Hogsmeade) because Harry finds it embarrassing to have someone write his answer beside him while class, Hermione took over after Remus is unavailable because duties for the order, ‘Truthfully written by Remus Lupin/Hermione Granger for Harry James Potter’
26. Harry created a new Jinx that makes a stunning flashbang against his opponents, Not even shield charm can stop the blinding bang of light
27. Harry’s cane automatically returns him by saying “Accio cane!” Even without using a wand if he ever lost it or someone stole it.
28. When others inside the trophy room in the Goblet of Fire accused him for putting his name on the goblet, McGonagall fiercely defended him by saying, “Potter cannot have written his name on the goblet because he is blind!—Ahem—No offence to you, Potter”
29. Veela’s attraction can’t affect Harry since he can’t see them
30. Molly occasionally stops Harry when he is cutting ingredients expertly to cooked food by because she thought he will cut himself by accident, He finds this annoying but understands her motherly worries all the same, Harry tells her that he can handle sharp knives safely, Molly accepted this but Harry can still hear/sense her from behind the corner, watching him anxiously if there’s any blood leaking from his fingers, Turns out he is a decent cooked in the kitchen
31. Harry invented pellets of highly condensed peruvian instant darkness powder with the help of Fred and George who supplied him with free peruvian darkness powder, One pellet is enough to obscure the size of a Great Hall. Harry uses it effectively in battle against enemies in a large closed area where they won’t be able to see anything while it doesn’t make any difference to Harry for his advantages
32. Harry can sense and hear traces of ancient magic
33. Sirius gave him a shiny gold pocket watch that tells the time when he asked for it.
34. Harry can transfigure his cane into a sword in case of close combat. It was forged with goblin-silver, therefore indestructible and can absorb any properties to make it stronger like the sword of Gryffindor, Harry had to pay the goblins a lot of galleons to make it
35. Harry and Hermione would start a program in the Ministry of magic for young witches and wizard who are blind by giving them their own magic cane and Harry taught them to use their sense of hearing, touch and smell to get around in life and asked them to taught other someday after them while Hermione would introduce the use of the braille writing system to magic community. Hogwarts traditionally gives them the entire translated hogwarts textbooks in braille version on each school term and hired trusted writers for them during NEWT, OWL and Homework tests on papers since they can’t write.
36. Hogwarts eventually created a new section in the library that translate all the library books available into Braille version for blind students
37. No one can ever sneak up to Harry Potter
38. Harry’s once said “It’s hard to be afraid when you can’t the scary monster in front of you”
39. Harry decided to improve the old pirate radio programme ‘PotterWatch’ after the war to become the official new way to receive daily information than just reading old fashioned newspapers and magazines like the Daily Prophet and Quibbler so he and other blind folks can hear any news about the wizarding community in Britain easily. Hermione requested a few brilliant muggle-borns to help by combining muggle’s radio station equipment with magic to expand the new station and distribute small radios in every household. Harry hired Lee Jordan to become the main broadcaster and he is having the time of life “Good evening! beautiful ladies and gentlemans! We have a special music here at the station to play for today for all of you to hear which was sing by none other than the talented…Celestina Warbeck!!!” and “Today, We have here is a famed magizoologist named Luna Scamander for discovering a new magical beast found in Africa, Let’s hear what she has to say for the amazing discovery!”
40. Eventually the wizarding world became familiar with Britain’s popular radio program and kindly requested them to expand it in other nations which Harry approved of. Then so on the ‘PotterWatch’ became the official radio program in the entire wizarding world. Every radio around the magic communities has the logo PW to honour Harry’s heroic deeds and inventions as his eternal legacy. Rita Skeeter immediately lost her reputation because nobody reads her scathing articles anymore (Serves her right!)
41. The PotterWatch station of Britain is heavily controlled and protected by the Potter-Weasley family clan rather than the Ministry to prevent it from ever being corrupted like the time when Fudge and Voldemort used the Daily Prophet to target Harry. Rose Granger Weasley became director of the PotterWatch then she will pass the position to another Potter-Weasley family member if she retires someday.
42. Harry Potter and Hermione Weasley made a permanent agreement with the Ministry of Magic that by law to ensured the PotterWatch will forever stayed independent and controlled by the Potter-Weasely family clan to stop the Ministry from using it to spread misinformation and lies without a strict review and consent by the current director if the Ministry wanted to wanted to publish any information in the magic community
43. The Weasley’s Wizards Wheeze joke shop uses the family’s PotterWatch to advertise their new products and inventions, then in return they financed the radio station whenever needed since the Ministry does not associate with the PotterWatch by law.
I THINK I WENT OVERBOARD A BIT
