Absolutely! I'm in Harry Potter (again. After a long fandom hiatus) and it's really interesting to see what tropes have been uncritically accepted (not throwing shade! I love me some tropes) and what authors clearly THINK about the inconsistencies or went "... you know what, that was never explored/explained."
At the moment, I'm writing again. Nominally it's Harry/Hermione but actually it's sort of an exploration of grief and loss and PTSD set in a mystery. How did Ginny react to essentially living in an occupied town for the last year and running/participating in a resistance? How do humans react to immense grief and loss on a society-wide scale? How do you stop, when all you've known in your life is A Mission.
I mean, I know JKR didn't put it in because kids books and limited to Harry's POV and stuff, but wow, there's so much there.
