History Theatre / AVeryPotterMusical

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Okay, all the stuff with Pigfarts is just pure RuleOfFunny, but for the sake of being nitpicky; despite Draco's statement to the contrary, Mars has an atmosphere. It's not one humans could breathe in, being mostly carbon dioxide, but hey.

* NotSoDifferent: Umbridge sees a younger version of herself in Hermione. This revelation causes Hermione to break down crying.

* RealityEnsues: The trio vow to turn every spell they know against Sirius Black. They're first-years, so those spells are just things like ''Lumos'' and ''Alohomora''.

* {{Mondegreen}}: A dialogue example. Many viewers first thought Dumbledore's line "Why'd you have to invite the fatties?" was "Why'd you have to invite the faggies?"

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: At the end: [[spoiler:"No kisses for Little D".]] Draco earlier said "In case you were wondering, the D stands for [[spoiler:my wiener."]]

[[caption-width-right:350: From left to right: Dumbledore, Rumbleroar (top), Voldemort, Quirrel (middle), Ginny, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco, and a poster of Zac Efron (bottom).]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: Cho freakin' Chang.

** The RunningGag of Cedric bringing up that Hufflepuff House is good at "FINDing" things is from an in-joke about Jim Povolo's superhero alter ego being "Findor", whose [[MundaneUtility surprisingly useful superpower]] was [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the ability to locate lost objects]]. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]] Hufflepuff House specializing in "Finding" was going to be an actual fleshed out joke about HeartIsAnAwesomePower but there was no time to flesh it out beyond just being Cedric's CatchPhrase.

* YourCheatingHeart: Parodied. [[spoiler:Lavender kisses Ron on the cheek, and he immediately calls himself a cheating bastard.]]

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: [[spoiler:The Harry Potter books were written by Hermione and heavily edited by Gilderoy Lockhart, based on the ''real'' events as they're portrayed in the musicals.]]
** [[spoiler:Which is hilarious if you know ''anything'' about Lockhart's character via WordOfGod: Lockhart is the only person directly based on someone Jo knows. Jo has stated that he is likely either claiming he was the inspiration for Dumbledore, or else claiming that ''he'' wrote the books and is letting Jo take all the credit out of kindness.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: Cho is much kinder to everyone, especially Hermione. Harry is the only exception and that's mainly [[spoiler:because he insults her]]. Likewise Ron is much less of a jerkass, ''especially'' to Hermione.

** Vincent Crabbe and Colin Creevey are casually KilledOffscreen, since they were KilledOffForReal in the books as well, Crabbe's cause of death even matching that of his canon counterpart.

* NoodleIncident: Harry and the others had numerous adventures between AVPM and AVPSY (aka years 3-6). Most of them aren't elaborated on or the person gets cut off. The first scene is supposedly the climax of year 6, while Malfoy later mentions that they all went to [[spoiler:Pigfarts]] during year 3, and Ron reminds his peers the things Harry has done during years 4 and 5.

* ShoutOut: After seeing Ginny [[BrainwashedAndCrazy acting strangely]], Hermione gives the audience an AsideGlance before moving her hands like a crab's and saying [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989"What is dat girl up tooooooooo?"]]

** The "Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone" controversy gets a jab.

* AffectionateParody: WordOfGod says that Hermione's song "The Coolest Girl" is supposed to be a send up to female power ballads that every girl uses as an audition song à la [[Theatre/LesMiserables "On My Own"]] and [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "Part of Your World"]].

* ShoutOut: After seeing Ginny [[BrainwashedAndCrazy acting strangely]], Hermione gives the audience an AsideGlance before moving her hands like a crab's and saying [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "What is dat girl up tooooooooo?"]]

* LameExcuse: When Rita Skeeter finds him in his underwear and covered in deer blood, next to a freshly eviscerated deer, Lupin claims that it's a Gryffindor Quidditch tradition. He then [[CrossesTheLineTwice forces a crying Neville to eat some of it]] to reinforce this. Later he claims a jaguar is what caused all the damage the werewolf did… including messing up his office.
-->'''Remus Lupin:''' ''(coughs)'' Lupin shouldn't have to pay for that.

* BiTheWay: Lavender Brown to Cho. Also, Seamus to Viktor Krum.
** Voldemort is essentially confirmed to be this as well. Scarfy even sorts him as 'could go a number of ways.'

* NoOntologicalInertial: With all the mandrakes killed, the only way to restore the paralysed students is to kill the basilisk.
