One of the more heartwarming events in fandom I have seen in recent years is Malfoid. A giant “what if Draco Malfoy was a girl,” by the fans. This has exploded into video and comic retellings of different scenes and stories by different creators around the world. Draconia Malfoy is the most common name. Most ideas change only Malfoy. Sometimes the retellings include a female Ron and Snape. One thing I like about these stories is that they are a very clear reimagining of the story, and take things in very different directions. They aren’t changing the race of a character and then saying they are faithfully telling the same story. They are changing a core conceit of the story and then showing a different story. Millions of children learned to read with Harry Potter. Now millions are learn to tell stories with Draconia Malfoy. Are most of them drek? Yes. But some of them are amazing.
