* TraumaButton: Harry freezes up when he sees a cupboard under the stairs in the Equestrians' temporary house. He knows it isn't the same cupboard and that he won't have to sleep in there, but he still starts shaking.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Professor [=McGonnagal=] is confused when she sees Apple Bloom's, Sweetie Belle's, and Scootaloo's names, saying that they are unusual even by Muggle standards. [[CultureClash Of course, she doesn't know that in Equestria, those names are perfectly normal]].

Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies:
** No, Professor [=McGonnagal=] did ''not'' {{Squee}} like a little girl when she saw Harry Potter's answering letter.
** The people of Little Whinging, as soon as the truth of what the Dursleys had done to Harry gets out, immediately start saying they always knew that something was amiss.
---> The gossips devoted themselves to telling everyone they just knew something had been wrong with the Durselys. Some even claimed that this past year they had suspected foul play regarding that poor Harry Potter boy. And all conveniently forgot the years they had spent vilifying the child as a layabout, thieving, little hoodlum.


Added DiffLines:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs. Harry is the one to suggest that they go clothes shopping so the Equestrians don't walk around nude in the house anymore... and learns the hard way why many men do not enjoy clothes shopping with women.

A few evil people finally get their just desserts, the Equestrians learn a lesson about human customs, and Hogwarts gets an interesting request.

!!Tropes that finally got what they deserved are as follows:
* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: The Equestrians spend several days watching movies, exploring the shops of Little Whinging, and trying some human foods.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Vernon never prepared for what to do if anyone actually ''checked'' to see if Harry had been sent to reform school.
* FantasticDietRequirement: Inverted; the Equestrians try to eat daisy sandwiches for lunch (something they would normally eat at home) only to be disgusted when they realize that plants aren't as tasty to humans. And, while many of them are still hesitant to eat meat, they all agree that bacon tastes amazing.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley are arrested for criminal child abuse while their son is taken away by child services. They are taken by the police in front of ''all'' their neighbors while their abuse of Harry is outed (ruining their reputation and instantly destroying all the lies they told about Harry), their son (the only person they loved besides each other) is taken away from them, they'll both likely spend the next few years in prison, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking they never got to eat their dinner]].
* NoNudityTaboo: Harry has to remind the Equestrians (again) that humans wear clothes even when in their houses.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unlike most adults in Little Whinging, the Equestrians can quickly tell the difference between playing and bullying. Which is why the Royal Scout (disguised as a human woman) doesn't believe Dudley when he says that he was only saying hello to the CMC, and she scares him and his mooks off.
* RefusedReunion: When Dudley sees Harry again after a year, Harry makes it very clear that he doesn't want to see Vernon and Petunia as much as they don't want to see him.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Harry says this trope word for word when Dudley said his parents thought/hoped he was dead.
* ThousandYardStare: Lin Yueshi, after visiting another world and meeting it's all-powerful leaders, has one of these due to the earth-shattering revelations he's just had.
* TraumaButton: Harry freezes up when he sees a cupboard under the stairs in the Equestrians' temporary house. He knows it isn't the same cupboard and that he won't have to sleep in there, but he still starts shaking.
