Nonetheless, Narcissa is determined that their family ''will'' be avenged for Draco's [[GroinAttack male injury]].]]

* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: The Weasley twins prank on Platform 9¾ converted virtually all of the students and hundreds of adults into either Fred or George via a contagion polyjuice potion with a lunar trigger.

* DeadlyGas: A mis-brewed metal cleaning potion can be caustic enough to eat its way through the desk and the legs of the student responsible, but its more insidious danger is the noxious fumes it would produce. [[spoiler:When Quirrell deliberately uses such a brew as a weapon, there's a snippet from the victims' point of view as they're burned and blinded and finally expire.]]

* SteppingOutForAQuickCupOfCoffee: Amelia Bones literally announces that she's getting a coffee, then proceeds to explain what's in the evidence folder currently on the desk, and that she can't legally share it, but that it's just a temporary copy and doesn't seem worth taking to the incinerator on the other side of the building, so she's inclined to leave it there while she takes probably no less than seven minutes to brew a pot.

In that state he can be patient for days. However, he only gets one chance at cracking the seal, at which point he goes from tranquil to UnstoppableRage.

* ExplosiveOverclocking: Harry actually has very good control of his magic, relative to how much of it there is. But there is just ''so much'' that he greatly struggles to use it. His levitation charms break the sound barrier, his transfigured needles look more like construction equipment, and his broomstick shoots off and buries itself into a grassy knoll before bursting into flames.
--> It quickly became apparent that Harry was suffering control problems to a degree that Septima Vector declared to be 'epic'.

Added DiffLines:

* StealingFromTheTill: ''Technically'' the contractor who builds the access to the Seven Sisters nexus could be said to be regularly embezzling funds from the jobs he does, since he over-reports his costs and pockets the difference. However, the reason he does it is because his low costs are a result of subtly applied magic, which of course he can't accurately report to non-magical employers. If he were to bid for work based on his actual overheads, he would either be laughed at, or investigated with suspicion (which would not be good for secrecy).
--> No, he'd had no choice but to reluctantly pocket the excess from those fat, juicy public works contracts, for Confederate security; it was his patriotic duty! And if fulfilling his solemn duty to his tribe and nation just happened to make both him and his men quite rich in the process... well that was a hardship he would just have to endure.
