Harry Potter: The Abandoned Generation

#Dark Ensemble Cast# #Everyone Suffers# #Everyone Is Evil# #Deeply Depressing#

This is the best of times, and the worst of times.

This is a dazzling, raucous dream gone to ruin.

"There was nothing grand or earth-shattering about it. Just a bunch of selfish people."

This is a story about having nothing.

A tragic song following a pure-blood family from its rise to its fall, across generations from the ancestors to their children. No whitewashing and no vilification. I have tried to reconstruct, through straight-faced nonsense, the stories of the people and families who were never mentioned or only briefly touched upon, in hopes that they will be seen and remembered.

Key points: A sprawling ensemble cast with an almost obsessive number of original characters and frequent shifts in perspective. I'll do my best to keep everyone in character. None of the main characters from the older generation survive. A friendly tip: There are so many side plots, hidden threads, and foreshadowing details that they might be more interesting than the main plot.

The group chat number is in my profile, and includes the old versions of volumes two and three. Sensual Tonghe performs a daily act of carrying Pinru's wardrobe (just kidding).

Thanks to J.K. Rowling for creating the Harry Potter world, and to all my dear readers for being here.

Theme: A Harry Potter story seen through the eyes of another group of people, a lament for them.
