Yeah, I don't believe HP fandom is dying either. Many fans are simply multi-fandom, and it's a natural progression to use an archive like AO3 which is more all-encompassing. And it's a much better interface all around. So just because fewer fans are using THF and HPF, it doesn't mean that the fandom is dying.
The problem is that although these fics *can* be uploaded to AO3, I am very much afraid that they *won't* be. Without the site owner's cooperation, I don't think the fans can do anything themselves, and it would be up to all the individual authors, many of whom are no longer active.
I don't know the owner of THF and HPF personally, but I wish that someone could convince her to let the fans go ahead and help with a transfer to AO3.
