Plot Requirements:

Through a twist of fate, Harry loses his Magic before he ever gets to go to Hogwarts. There are a number of ways this can happen:

The Killing Curse removed his magic when it bounced off him.

Due to Harry's abusive relatives, in his desperation to make them stop abusing him, he willed his magic away, thus making him "normal", and eventually they did start treating him nicer after a long period of no "unnaturalness" occurred.

An accident of some sort occurs, and a part of this accident removes the magic.

Though this one is a little more unlikely, maybe Harry realizes he has magic, and knowing it's the cause of all his problems, he wills the magic to go to someone else (either some random person, one of his relatives, or one of the other main characters of the story), or perhaps he moves all of his magic into an object (like an old toy).

Note that the above are only some examples of how it might have happened. It's up to you as an author to decide the how, when, where, and why.

Author's story from here: The story should show how this change affects the story of Harry Potter. Does he even get his invite to Hogwarts when he's 11? Does he end up going to Hogwarts even though he can't use magic? Does he pass through the Muggle world never knowing his destiny in the Magical one until his magic returns or he gets caught up in some of the events from the Magical world? That's all up to you to decide.
