List of Similarities and Differences

We all know that My Immortal: The Web Series has elements borrowed from the My Immortal fanfic. But what makes it quite special is how it combines elements from canon Harry Potter to not only make it more interesting, but give the story and Enoby's character better writing.

Here is a list of several similarities and differences between the web series and its based stories, Harry Potter (canon) and My Immortal (crazy ass Fanon).

## Similarities

### Harry Potter

* Harry, Ron, and Hermione are the iconic golden trio.
* Voldemort wanted Draco to kill Dumbledore at some point.
* Harry has pretty much the same backstory: as a baby, his parents were killed by Voldemort, and when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, it backfired. In result, he was sent to live with the Dursleys, who were very abusive.
* Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts before getting killed by one of Voldemort's allies.
* Viktor Krum has a crush on Hermione, and asks her out to the Yule Ball.
* Draco's father Lucius Malfoy is a pure-blood superemist and sides with Voldemort.
* Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode are Slytherin students with a minor role.
* Voldemort has a punk Mary Sue daughter who is just as evil as him (though they're two very different people).
* The school hosts a Yule Ball.
* Ron is literally the same: has a crush on Hermione, gets jealous of her and Viktor, is quite an awkward person, and feels very left out.
* Hermione is a bookworm who is very smart, and is referred to as "The Brightest Witch of Her Age". Though that is mostly in Season 1.
* Bellatrix, Narcissa, and Yaxley are villains who side with Voldemort.
* Snap speaks in his typical, classic deep monotone voice, though it was only for one scene.
* There are several mentions of canon scenes that also happened in this universe, including:
	+ Harry defeated Professor Quirrell at one point.
	+ Umbridge scarred Harry's arm.
	+ The basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets.
* A teenage spiritual entity of Voldemort, aka Tom Riddle, originates from a diary.

### My Immortal

* Enoby is in love with Draco. The two have even dated.
* Draco and Harry date each other.
* Snap and Loopin are a stupid couple who are secretly allies of Voldemort.
* Hargrid is a little Hogwarts student, and also.... a Satanist!
* Tom Riddle and Enoby fall in love.
* Britney has a very small role, is a prep, and whom is hated by Enoby simply for being a prep.
* Enoby yells "VAMPIRE POTTER YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" in the context of Draco cheating on Enoby for Harry, though the situations in both versions were altered.
* Professor McGonagall is referred to as "McGoggle".
* James Potter is referred to as "Samaro".

## Differences

### Harry Potter

* Enoby is most definitely not canon, as you all already know.
* Harry and Hermione are race-swapped. Harry is Asian, and Hermione is black.
	+ Although *Cursed Child* has a black Hermione as well, Mediajunkie Studios were the first to have one.
* Voldemort has a daughter in *Cursed Child*, who is named Delphini, while in this version he has two twin daughters named Violet and Lizzie Riddle.
	+ Mediajunkie Studios was the first to have a daughter of Voldemort.
	+ However, according to the comments section under the episode Dumbledore Dies, the idea of Violet Riddle has already been added in fanfiction at that point, though it is unknown how popular it was.
* Lucius Malfoy talks to his son with a phone. The real Lucius would never use any Muggle technology, or even let his son use it, even if its just to talk to him.
* Bellatrix, Narcissa, and Yaxley are poser punk teenagers instead of grown adults.
	+ Bellatrix talks in a calm voice and has short smooth hair while in canon, she is very wild, in terms of voice, clothes, and long curly hair.
	+ Narcissa is not Draco's mother/Lucius' wife.
* The Yule Ball is the equivalent to prom or homecoming instead of a Triwizard Tournament tradition.
* There is no mention of Ron's family (especially Ginny, Fred, and George).
* Just like in *My Immortal*, Snap and Loopin were most definitely not friends, let alone lovers. In fact, they weren't even comedic at all.
* Harry and Draco were bitter rivals instead of friends, let alone lovers.
* Ron has brown hair instead of red hair.
* In *Cursed Child*, Delphi never knew her parents, since they died when she was an infant. In the web series, Violet and Lizzie grew up with their father.

### My Immortal

* The most significant one of all: Enoby has a character arc. She is more flawed, and even likable. She has a more of a struggle of being a Mary Sue.
* Hargrid is more than just a Satanist. He is the loyal protector of Lizzie.
* Enoby has had brief affairs with Vampire, while in the web series, they dated before the events of Season 1.
* Draco and Harry dated prior to the events of *My Immortal*, which was before Enoby and Draco dated. In the web series, they dated during the events of Season 1, and after Enoby and Draco dated.
* Instead of Tom Riddle and Enoby dating, Enoby tries to seduce him in the past to prevent him from becoming evil in the present.
* In *My Immortal*, Harry changes his name to "Vampire", while in the web series, Enoby gives him that nickname.
	+ Therefore, when someone says "Harry", she gets confused, since she developed the habit where she calls him "Vampire".
* Ron Weasley has a little to zero role in *My Immortal* while in the web series, he is a much bigger character.
* Ron is more close to his canon counterpart in the web series.
* In *My Immortal*, Ron is a goth who changed his name to "Diabolo", while in the web series, he really hates being called that and feels like he can't handle being super punk and hardcore like Enoby.
* Hermione is not a goth who is, at all, referred to as "B'loody Mary Smith".
* While Britney is a prep whom Enoby hates, she does not break Snap and Loopin out of Azkaban.
* Snap and Loopin are not clones of Voldemort.
* Violet and Lizzie do not appear in the original fanfiction. In fact, they are original characters.
	+ Other original characters include Vlad, Veedo, Connor Chrichton, Lacie, and many more.
* *My Immortal* characters like Willow, Snaketail, Professor Sinister/Trevolry, Darkness, Crab, Goyle, Cornelio Fuck, Sirius Black, and Hedwig do not appear in the web series.
	+ It is unknown whether the writers planned to have them appear in Season 3, or just simply did not have plans for them.
	+ However, Umbridge (AKA Doris Rumbridge) and Sirius Black had a brief mention.
* There are several canon *Harry Potter* characters that do not appear in *My Immortal*.
	+ These characters include Viktor Krum, Bellatrix, Narcissa, Yaxley, Marcus (likely), and Seamus Finnigan.
	+ Other canon characters are only mentioned, but include Dean Thomas, Luna Lovegood, and Barty Crouch.
* In *My Immortal*, Enoby believes that Draco cheated on her for Harry (I'm sorry, I meant *Vampire*), which prompts her to yell "VAMPIRE POTTER YOU MOTHERFUCKER!", though in the web series, she yelled that because Draco was **actually** cheating on her with Harry.
