But we don't want to.

It has no meaning to us. It's not important to us.

But the characters of Harry Potter could want to, if the person writing the fanfiction in question wanted them to want to

NAYRT I'll take 'doesn't understand how to write' for 200.

Unless I missed something, fic is about writing the characters from canon and not a random series of self-inserts who are just given those characters' names.

Fanfiction is whatever you want it to be.

What's the point if you're not at least trying to write a semblance of the characters? Fanfic doesn't have to be perfect but most fanfic writers are at least trying.

As someone said below, you can write this sure but most people are going to think you're a fucking moron .

It'd have to be more than "I want the characters to do X." If you decide you want British characters to want to do something outside their culture, you must find a motivation for it. Hermione could be researching holiday customs in other cultures and has a moment with Harry and Ron where she keeps bothering them with "The ancient Philistines did..." and "The Aztec people celebrated..." and "Even now, the Dutch continue..." until they're bored out of their skulls and are tired of hearing her talk about the subject. Then she drops the US custom of Thanksgiving, where you eat turkey till you nearly burst and watch football all day. I'd imagine THAT would pique their interest!

Until they realise it's not actually football, it's pansy rugby with too many pauses and not enough action >:P
