Harry Potter fan fiction by Francisca Solar

by Wendy on January 11th, 2007

Interesting - there’s some Harry Potter fan fiction that’s just been released from new author Francisca Solar:

The Seventh M - is the first of three books that 23-year-old Chilean journalism student Francisca Solar was contracted to write by publishers Random House, following the online success of her unofficial sixth Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Decline of the High Elves.

Solar began her writing career when she found she was so disappointed with JK Rowling’s fifth Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, that she wanted to write her own sequel to it.

The Decline of the High Elves became a massive online smash, generating 80,000 views and positive reviews from Harry Potter fans around the world.

" When I read the fifth book, I was so disappointed - I’m a very critical reader, and I’m a huge fan, so the expectation of this fifth book was great," Solar said.

"I took the principal characters and I did a story that is more rich than Rowling’s story, because you can have access to the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters.

"In the Harry Potter saga, you can only have access to Harry’s feelings and thoughts. That is a partial view of the Potter universe."

This is much like the Star Wars fan fiction that has explored other facets of the classic story; hopefully, we’ll be able to see more of this kind of thing, especially since Harry Potter is soon coming to an end.
