Writing a Harry Potter Novel for Dummies
»«»«»«»«»«¤»«»«»«»«»«
Introduction
When most stories are written, the author will begin with a plot outline. This could involve some ideas jotted on paper, an idea web, or simply thinking the plot through in their mind. The next step is to write the story, usually from the beginning through to the end. This is edited, and in some cases re-written.
This is not the case, however, with Harry Potter (HP) novels. In an HP novel, the process is so different that we have compiled this guide to give authors insight into the creation of such unique works. In this guide, we have outlined the process, characters and typical events. An example has been created to illustrate the final product, and a footnote style index identifies key points of this example for your benefit. Hopefully this will help you, the aspiring HP author, create your own interesting and genuine Harry Potter novel.
We wish you the best of luck,

Author's Note (Important):
That's right, I'm beginning again. Due to the extreme change of direction this story has made, I'm viciously editing the story and posting it again. This will be the introduction... and until I finish the first chapter/section/whatever I make it, this will be all that I put up. It could take me a few weeks. The "example" will be what I have so far - or at least the beginning of such - completed.
Thank you to everyone who has read what I have so far, especially those who have reviewed (Miss Piratess, ScruffyWes, nkittyhawk, Hot Cocoa, Sue H, Beauty-Queen1979, Foureyedsnail, G.I.R13, and Rowenna since ch.6). Thank you to Rowenna for being honest and helping me notice the lack of direction I have. I hope I don't disappoint all of you in changing this, and I promise to try and keep the non-story part as brief as possible.
