''Witches Wizards Shadows and Souls'' is a ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' crossover by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/706559/Mei1105 Mei1105]].
Taking place during ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', and post the [[FillerArc Kaibacorp Grand Prix arc]], the fic focuses on Voldemort's attempt to use the power of Orichalcos to take over the wizarding world.
The fic can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3665725/1/ on fanfiction.net]] and downloaded from [[https://fichub.net/fic/i9WPnVPq fichub.net]]. It also has a sequel, titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8553319/1/ Magic Monsters Dominions and Destiny]]'', which is also complete.

* ArbitraryScepticism: As per dub canon, Kaiba refuses to believe in magic even when he actually ''has to use it'' to defend himself from the Death Eaters. Others note that his attitude limits his abilities quite a bit, as he should have been about as strong as the Pharaoh himself, yet gets drained if he tries to use anything other than his Blue-Eyes.
* BatmanGambit: It's pointed out that half the game in Duel Monsters is tricking your oponent, not just playing your cards right. For example, Bakura's cards being specifically selected to freak out people.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Harry, Ron, and Hermione feel extremely betrayed by the fact that Yugi and Ryou host their "darks" in them because of their own negative experiences with Voldemort, especially after they find out about how Yami lost Yugi's soul.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: The YGO gang uses Shadow Magic, but is firmly against Voldemort and the Oreichalcos. However, their belief in this trope is one of the many reasons why [[spoiler:they eventually they have a huge fall-out with the HP gang, which associates dark magic with Voldemort and his followers.]]

* ArbitraryScepticism: As per dub canon, Kaiba refuses to believe in magic even when he actually ''has to use it'' to defend himself from the Death Eaters. Others note that his attitude limits his abilities quite a bit, as he should have been about as strong as the Pharaoh himself, yet gets drained if he tries to use anything other than his Blue-Eyes.
* BatmanGambit: It's pointed out that half the game in Duel Monsters is tricking your oponent, not just playing your cards right. For example, Bakura's cards being specifically selected to freak out people.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Harry, Ron, and Hermione feel extremely betrayed by the fact that Yugi and Ryou host their "darks" in them because of their own negative experiences with Voldemort, especially after they find out about how Yami lost Yugi's soul.]]
