* RhethoricalRequestBlunder: When Harry, at one time, wakes with a hangover at the Professor's zeppelin, he asks for something to kill his hangover or just kill him. The Professor returns with a potion that he claims would kill a herd of elephants.

* BecomingTheMask: At the end of the story [[spoiler: after Harry kills Voldemort, he decides to leave his old life behind and embrace the Mr. Black persona fully.]]

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: A blood purist newspaper goes out of business due to "rising costs of doing business and the fact that the obituary section is larger than the last three issues ''combined''."

* MundaneUtility: who could have known that a tanning spell could be used to kill a vampire? Lavender Brown uses this as inspiration to win a duel against Seamus [[spoiler: with a similarly-mundane spell for ''breast expansion''.]]

* NotEnoughToBury: Death Eaters and other Blood Purists get hit with this. [[AssholeVictim Hard]]. [[RunningGag And often]]. In Germany, the coroner has trouble [[LudicrousGibs telling the pieces apart]] after Black gives his Russian battle magic a try, a Death Eater attack team is ran over by a train and damaged beyond recognition, the [[spoiler: Lestranges]] have to be mopped up ''and'' picked clean from the [[TeleporterAccident insides]] of a vending machine, another Death Eater team is {{Eaten Alive}} by [[LandDownUnder Australia's]] [[DeathWorld deadly]] [[EverythingTryingToKillYou wildlife]], and let's not forget the bandits who are eaten by a nundu...

* CatchPhrase: When asked for more details on who he is, Mr. Black will invariably reply: "I'm just a guy on vacation."
** It's even used to identify him during his stop in Australia, as only the real Mr. Black responds like that. Harry does because he just wants a vacation, while [[OneDialogueTwoConversations everyone else]] thinks he's being a HumbleHero.

* ComingOfAgeStory: This is a Literature/HarryPotter fic, so that's to be expected.

*** Demonstrated when a student at Hogwarts uses a ''BreastExpansion spell'' on a practice duel against a ''guy'' to throw him for a loop, [[GagBoobs upset his balance]], and win the duel. The girl in question was inspired by Mr. Black's use of a cosmetic spell, of which she knows several (from girly magazines), to deadly effect.

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: {{Invoked|Trope}} in regards to the enigmatic Mr. Black, and told almost word-by-word by Laetus Lovegood in his paper when he covers the "Black Massacre" in Germany. While the [[KillEmAll magnitude]] of the event was actually out of Black's hands, the [[NeverHurtAnInnocent trigger]] (it involved Death Eaters) for it was very well within the definition of the trope.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* CoolBike: Thanks to [[BornLucky Harry's insane luck at gambling]], he wins one of these in America. [[MadScientist The Professor]] asks if he can modify it, and Harry agrees - his only specific request is [[FlyingCar to have it fly]], but otherwise he gives the Professor free reign to add anything he wants besides that. The Professor and Henchgirl get [[MadScientist some like-minded friends]], and [[UpToEleven even make a contest out of who can put the most features in]]. After all of that, it can shrink to pocket-size, [[OilSlick drop oil slicks]], [[WeaponizedCar shoot spells]], fly, change license plates, and even has a pooka - a ''[[CoolHorse ghost horse]]'' - bound to it so that it never needs fuel, [[EmpathicWeapon can act by itself if needed]], and occasionally projects the [[AnimalBattleAura image of the pooka itself]].

** Several [[AccidentalMurder accidental deaths]] get attributed to him whenever he is in the area, [[spoiler: by the end he gets credit for events ''[[UpToEleven all around the world]]'']].
