* AndIMustScream: The Witch-King's Knights were all mummified alive, embalmed and preserved so that they could never decompose and rejoin the Titan, and if anyone riles them up they'll swarm out of the city and inflict the same fate on others.
** This seems to be how all Boiling Isles ghosts left unsealed by Oracles eventually end up. It's described as a hellish existence, being bound to one place forever, unable to experience any of the things you felt in life, and as a result slowly losing your memories, yourself, and your capability to understand and care for the living.

And later when dealing with the ghosts of the Witch King's knights on the Knee, Ron distracts them by quoting the French knights' taunting of the Round Table knights.

* RuderAndCruder: At least in regard to ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' side of things, considering it's a Disney Channel show. Downplayed in the sense that only minor swears like "hell" and "damn" are sprinkled throughout. The worst swears said so far are "shit" and "piss", and each were only uttered once in Chapter 16.

** This is also allows Lilith to see [[spoiler: the scar for what it really is]]
--> [[spoiler: The scar was perfect, absolute nothingness - darkness beyond darkness, power beyond power.\\
Its was not a song, but a shivering, unending scream.]]

** In Chapter 12 one of the reasons that Lilith decides to give Harry up is because she's worried about Vitimir going after him for rare ingredients. Sure enough, when Harry meets Vitimir he tries just that.



* HumanResources: Vitimir tries to vivisect Harry to use him as potions components.



* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Or rather "mother", in this case. Whereas Lilith is tall, regal, well-kept, straight-faced, strict, and morally questionable to say the least, Harry is small, modest, wild, emotional, with a certain disregard for the rules, flexible, and rather morally upstanding for the most part. Eda even remarks that, other than his eyes, Harry doesn't even look a thing like his mother.

He also has more of a preference for Bard and Beast-Keeping magic than Lilith's own affinity for Potions due to Snape ruining the subject for him.
