!Tropes in Harry Potter Comics
* ADayInTheLimelight: Sheriff Ned in Chapter 6.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Voldemort's resurrected form is his handsome 16 year old self as opposed to the ugly snake-man from the books.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since they brought his soul back via his diary, and the handsome form is what was almost brought back in the second book.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Invoked with Salazar Slytherin. Depicted here as a man whose historical image of a pureblood obsessor was manufactured to cover up a relationship with Helga Hufflepuff that ended badly.
* AntiMagic: Sheriff Ned (a {{Muggle}} Sheriff) is immune to mind affecting spells, an ability that makes it rather impossible to memory charm him. [[Film/MenInBlack neuralyzers]] [[http://harrypottercomics.net/80.html don't work on him either.]] His deputy, Bart, is not so lucky.
* BackFromTheDead: Voldemort.
* BadassNormal: Sheriff Ned may be just a Muggle, but he's able to take out the Magic-Resistant creature the Necromancer created by just shooting it in the throat.
* BalefulPolymorph: Both parodied and played straight.
* BigBad:The Necromancer.
** BiggerBad:The Necromancer is also this, able to put Voldemort in his place.
* BigDamnHeroes:Pulled off twice in a row: Harry and Ginny save James from Voldemort, and the Hogwarts Staff shows up to force the Necromancer to retreat soon after.
** Here's another one [[http://harrypottercomics.net/211.html here]] and [[http://harrypottercomics.net/212.html here]]
* BigWordShout: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/14.html HUFFLEPUFF!]]
* BitterSweetEnding: The latest arc [[spoiler: Our heroes made it out of the arch in time, Voldermort is trapped between worlds, and the Necromancer's minions were defeated... but all three of our heroes are now jobless, The Minister still won't face facts, and Ahmed is going to prison with his fellow terrorists despite having reformed.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/206.html Hermione seems to know what flashbacks are.]]
* BreatherEpisode: After the thrill-a-minute last couple of episodes, the latest one has The Potters and Weasleys going to the World Cup with the Malfoys, though time will tell if this is in full effect.
** [[spoiler:Well, so far it seems not, what with them being abducted by pirates...[[ZigZaggedTrope Maybe it'll get better?]]]]
* BuiltWithLego: Well, yeah.
* BunnyEarsLawyer:Sheriff Ned who's despite being the comic relief character is very effective at his job.
* CardboardPrison: Medria and Thomas never stay in prison for long, much to Harry and Ron's frustration.
* CerebusSyndrome: The comic started out fairly light with hint of a bigger storyline, and even a holiday special. But with the last 2 chapters things have gotten much more serious.
* TheChamberlain: The current minister, who, like Fudge, refuses to believe that evil is on the horizon.
* ChekhovsBoomerang: (not sure if this is the right trope) [[http://harrypottercomics.net/231.html The Resurrection Stone comes back.]]
** The Ferraverto spell used [[http://harrypottercomics.net/81.html here]] was used again [[http://harrypottercomics.net/270.html here]].
* CluelessDeputy: Deputy Bart. Mostly because of the constant memory charms. He is quite competent at his job, though, even if he isn't always sure how they got there.
* CoolShades: Sheriff Ned. Oh, and George Weasley, Teddy Lupin, and Mac Irdee [James' best friend].
* DeadGuyJunior: James, Albus and Teddy, naturally. James seems to take after his namesake more than the other though.
* DemotedToDragon: Voldermort, who is even lower being only as important as the other two. He is not happy.
* DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/256.html Medria]] asks this about her hat.
* TheDragon: Not the actual dragon, but Granby is this to the new minister.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas: Sheriff Ned and Bart, who are working in {{Britain}} on an exchange program, make reference to their counterparts currently in Texas in this comic: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/22.html]]. The Texans are shown as revolver-toting cowboys towing the poor British police officers through the sand with lassoes. The Brits, on the other hand, talk entirely about tea and crumpets. But, as the authors put it, "It's okay for us to make fun of Brits and Texans because we're from Colorado. (Also, saying things makes them fact!)"
* EvilEye: The Necromancer has one.
** RedEyesTakeWarning
* FantasticRacism: Averted with The Necromancer, who has a Squib and a Muggle-born as his minions.
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: The Necromancer, also the EvilGenius
** TheDragon: Voldemort
** TheBrute (of the GeniusBruiser variety): Thomas Drake, the Black Knight
** TheDarkChick: Medria Darkwood
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Harry
** TheLancer: Ron
** TheSmartGuy: Hermione
** TheBigGuy: Sheriff Ned and also Ginny
** TheChick: Deputy Bart (also gets to be the BigGuy occasionally)
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: The Necromancer. In reality, he is Horatio Haglenorth Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin's rejected son.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: One of the Muslim terrorists, Ahmad, helps subdue his brothers after realizing the true scope of his prior actions.
** [[http://harrypottercomics.net/279.html There is a possibility that Medria has fallen under this too thanks to Ahmad.]] Although she plans to rescue Potter and friends out of jail (as well as Thomas's father, who turns out to be the ship's captain), she also plans to steal all the goodies in the ship as well. The notes say that "Medria's the kind of villain who grew up watching way too many cartoons. And then rooted for the villains."
* HufflepuffHouse: Rosie Weasley's indecisiveness landed her in Hufflepuff House, much to Ron's [[BigWordShout chagrin.]]
* ItGotWorse: The latest chapter. [[spoiler:Terrorist destroyed the Ministry, Voldemort is trapped between worlds where the Necromancer is dead set on keeping him (Though that's not nearly as bad), Hermione was knocked through the arch and is now in the afterlife and Harry has chased after her, with both only having 1 hour before they're dead for good. Oh and the chapter isn't even done yet.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: James, who sneaks into the Chamber of Secrets after the bad guys and tries to take them on all by himself, despite only being a second year.
* LoserSonOfLoserDad: Both subverted and played straight with Scorpius: He's actually good friends with Rose and Albus but James thinks he's nothing more than Draco Junior despite the fact that he acts nothing like his dad did.
* MagicBullets: Literal here… Sheriff Ned and Deputy Bart both have access to these thanks to Arthur Weasley.
* MagicKnight: Medria Darkwood, who dual-wields her wand and an [=MP7=]. Her mercenary partner, who actually dresses as a knight, Thomas Drake, wields enchanted and magic-resistant gear, but is, in fact, a Squib.
* MamaBear: Don't put Ginny's family in danger if you value your life.
* TheMenInBlack: Apparently the film ''[[Film/MenInBlack Men In Black]]'' takes place in the same universe as Harry Potter, as seen [[http://harrypottercomics.net/80.html here.]]
* MistakenForTerrorist: Inverted. Only Medria (a villain) gives the three Muslims in the Ministry of Magic a hard time. Until it turns out that they ARE terrorists.
* MuggleBornOfMages: The Dark Knight is a Squib. But he makes up for this with magical artificing, especially in his kevlar/full plate/magic resistant armor.
* MugglesDoItBetter: Played with. Medria uses a mix of magic and modern technology to become a world-class thief. On the good side, Sheriff Ned is almost completely useless when it comes to dragons and [[ForceField forcefields]], yet (with some help) he took down a magic-proof beast as well as a Werewolf by himself ([[SideKick Bart]] helped too).
* MundaneAfterlife: For the moment anyway, the afterlife bears a very close resemblance to the regular world, except mistier and mirror imaged.
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/257.html Medria has called Ahmad]] {{Sinbad}}, {{Aladdin}}, and [[SouthPark Towelie]] after they and the Dark Knight break out of Azkaban.
* {{Necromancer}}: The lead villain, whose mysterious backstory ties into many elemnts of the Harry Potter universe. Besides his hired mercenaries, his main minions are legions of inferi (zombies of Harry Potterdom).
* NiceHat: The new minister's top hat.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Voldemort still has it in for Harry, but is also more than happy to kill his children.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Two tamed dragons have appeared in the series, one with the villains and one raised by Charlie Weasley.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: One-upped by the Necromancer, who not only invented the original Horcrux formula that Voldemort used, but later perfected it. As such, when he was struck by an Avada Kedavra, it just knocked him down for a second or two.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Arcturus Ronolphin Cagney embraced his werewolfdom to the level that he takes measures to force his change by simulating a full moon with magic. Thanks to his resistance potion, he can even use magic while transformed.
** The comic also bends canon slightly by extending the transforming period of werewolves to include the days before and after the full moon.
* OvernightAgeUp: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/248.html Poor poor Rose.]] [[spoiler:[[http://harrypottercomics.net/284.html She gets better, though.]]]]
* {{Photoshop}}: In addition to edited in magical effects and sometimes backgrounds, the characters' facial expressions are nearly always changed to suit the scene.
* {{Pirate}}: They appear while Potter and friends are taking a holiday and there is a kidnapping.
* PowerTrio: Guess.
** Also for the villains with the Necromancer, Medria Darkwood, and Thomas Drake.
* SadistTeacher: The Creature who takes over the potions master position. He takes house points from Albus and Scorpius for being friends due to their respective house histories, gave all of the students make up work for the time he wasn't a professor and even tries to deduct points from Sheriff Ned for asking him a question.

* SealedEvilInACan: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/225.html Fails here.]]
* TheSheriff: Sheriff Ned.
* ShipTease: Neville and Luna get a bit at the beginning of the Christmas Special.
** Scorpius and Rose also get a little bit.
* SkywardScream:Ron gives one after finding out Rose is in, wait for it: "HUFFLEPUFF!"

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/120.html This strip]] is not in LEGO while [[PlanescapeSurvivalGuide this]] [[http://planescapecomic.com/134.html one]] is.

!Tropes in Harry Potter Comics
* ADayInTheLimelight: Sheriff Ned in Chapter 6.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Voldemort's resurrected form is his handsome 16 year old self as opposed to the ugly snake-man from the books.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since they brought his soul back via his diary, and the handsome form is what was almost brought back in the second book.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Invoked with Salazar Slytherin. Depicted here as a man whose historical image of a pureblood obsessor was manufactured to cover up a relationship with Helga Hufflepuff that ended badly.
* AntiMagic: Sheriff Ned (a {{Muggle}} Sheriff) is immune to mind affecting spells, an ability that makes it rather impossible to memory charm him. [[Film/MenInBlack neuralyzers]] [[http://harrypottercomics.net/80.html don't work on him either.]] His deputy, Bart, is not so lucky.
* BackFromTheDead: Voldemort.
* BadassNormal: Sheriff Ned may be just a Muggle, but he's able to take out the Magic-Resistant creature the Necromancer created by just shooting it in the throat.
* BalefulPolymorph: Both parodied and played straight.
* BigBad:The Necromancer.
** BiggerBad:The Necromancer is also this, able to put Voldemort in his place.
* BigDamnHeroes:Pulled off twice in a row: Harry and Ginny save James from Voldemort, and the Hogwarts Staff shows up to force the Necromancer to retreat soon after.
** Here's another one [[http://harrypottercomics.net/211.html here]] and [[http://harrypottercomics.net/212.html here]]
* BigWordShout: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/14.html HUFFLEPUFF!]]
* BitterSweetEnding: The latest arc [[spoiler: Our heroes made it out of the arch in time, Voldermort is trapped between worlds, and the Necromancer's minions were defeated... but all three of our heroes are now jobless, The Minister still won't face facts, and Ahmed is going to prison with his fellow terrorists despite having reformed.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/206.html Hermione seems to know what flashbacks are.]]
* BreatherEpisode: After the thrill-a-minute last couple of episodes, the latest one has The Potters and Weasleys going to the World Cup with the Malfoys, though time will tell if this is in full effect.
** [[spoiler:Well, so far it seems not, what with them being abducted by pirates...[[ZigZaggedTrope Maybe it'll get better?]]]]
* BuiltWithLego: Well, yeah.
* BunnyEarsLawyer:Sheriff Ned who's despite being the comic relief character is very effective at his job.
* CardboardPrison: Medria and Thomas never stay in prison for long, much to Harry and Ron's frustration.
* CerebusSyndrome: The comic started out fairly light with hint of a bigger storyline, and even a holiday special. But with the last 2 chapters things have gotten much more serious.
* TheChamberlain: The current minister, who, like Fudge, refuses to believe that evil is on the horizon.
* ChekhovsBoomerang: (not sure if this is the right trope) [[http://harrypottercomics.net/231.html The Resurrection Stone comes back.]]
** The Ferraverto spell used [[http://harrypottercomics.net/81.html here]] was used again [[http://harrypottercomics.net/270.html here]].
* CluelessDeputy: Deputy Bart. Mostly because of the constant memory charms. He is quite competent at his job, though, even if he isn't always sure how they got there.
* CoolShades: Sheriff Ned. Oh, and George Weasley, Teddy Lupin, and Mac Irdee [James' best friend].
* DeadGuyJunior: James, Albus and Teddy, naturally. James seems to take after his namesake more than the other though.
* DemotedToDragon: Voldermort, who is even lower being only as important as the other two. He is not happy.
* DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/256.html Medria]] asks this about her hat.
* TheDragon: Not the actual dragon, but Granby is this to the new minister.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas: Sheriff Ned and Bart, who are working in {{Britain}} on an exchange program, make reference to their counterparts currently in Texas in this comic: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/22.html]]. The Texans are shown as revolver-toting cowboys towing the poor British police officers through the sand with lassoes. The Brits, on the other hand, talk entirely about tea and crumpets. But, as the authors put it, "It's okay for us to make fun of Brits and Texans because we're from Colorado. (Also, saying things makes them fact!)"
* EvilEye: The Necromancer has one.
** RedEyesTakeWarning
* FantasticRacism: Averted with The Necromancer, who has a Squib and a Muggle-born as his minions.
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: The Necromancer, also the EvilGenius
** TheDragon: Voldemort
** TheBrute (of the GeniusBruiser variety): Thomas Drake, the Black Knight
** TheDarkChick: Medria Darkwood
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Harry
** TheLancer: Ron
** TheSmartGuy: Hermione
** TheBigGuy: Sheriff Ned and also Ginny
** TheChick: Deputy Bart (also gets to be the BigGuy occasionally)
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: The Necromancer. In reality, he is Horatio Haglenorth Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin's rejected son.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: One of the Muslim terrorists, Ahmad, helps subdue his brothers after realizing the true scope of his prior actions.
** [[http://harrypottercomics.net/279.html There is a possibility that Medria has fallen under this too thanks to Ahmad.]] Although she plans to rescue Potter and friends out of jail (as well as Thomas's father, who turns out to be the ship's captain), she also plans to steal all the goodies in the ship as well. The notes say that "Medria's the kind of villain who grew up watching way too many cartoons. And then rooted for the villains."
* HufflepuffHouse: Rosie Weasley's indecisiveness landed her in Hufflepuff House, much to Ron's [[BigWordShout chagrin.]]
* ItGotWorse: The latest chapter. [[spoiler:Terrorist destroyed the Ministry, Voldemort is trapped between worlds where the Necromancer is dead set on keeping him (Though that's not nearly as bad), Hermione was knocked through the arch and is now in the afterlife and Harry has chased after her, with both only having 1 hour before they're dead for good. Oh and the chapter isn't even done yet.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: James, who sneaks into the Chamber of Secrets after the bad guys and tries to take them on all by himself, despite only being a second year.
* LoserSonOfLoserDad: Both subverted and played straight with Scorpius: He's actually good friends with Rose and Albus but James thinks he's nothing more than Draco Junior despite the fact that he acts nothing like his dad did.
* MagicBullets: Literal here… Sheriff Ned and Deputy Bart both have access to these thanks to Arthur Weasley.
* MagicKnight: Medria Darkwood, who dual-wields her wand and an [=MP7=]. Her mercenary partner, who actually dresses as a knight, Thomas Drake, wields enchanted and magic-resistant gear, but is, in fact, a Squib.
* MamaBear: Don't put Ginny's family in danger if you value your life.
* TheMenInBlack: Apparently the film ''[[Film/MenInBlack Men In Black]]'' takes place in the same universe as Harry Potter, as seen [[http://harrypottercomics.net/80.html here.]]
* MistakenForTerrorist: Inverted. Only Medria (a villain) gives the three Muslims in the Ministry of Magic a hard time. Until it turns out that they ARE terrorists.
* MuggleBornOfMages: The Dark Knight is a Squib. But he makes up for this with magical artificing, especially in his kevlar/full plate/magic resistant armor.
* MugglesDoItBetter: Played with. Medria uses a mix of magic and modern technology to become a world-class thief. On the good side, Sheriff Ned is almost completely useless when it comes to dragons and [[ForceField forcefields]], yet (with some help) he took down a magic-proof beast as well as a Werewolf by himself ([[SideKick Bart]] helped too).
* MundaneAfterlife: For the moment anyway, the afterlife bears a very close resemblance to the regular world, except mistier and mirror imaged.
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/257.html Medria has called Ahmad]] {{Sinbad}}, {{Aladdin}}, and [[SouthPark Towelie]] after they and the Dark Knight break out of Azkaban.
* {{Necromancer}}: The lead villain, whose mysterious backstory ties into many elemnts of the Harry Potter universe. Besides his hired mercenaries, his main minions are legions of inferi (zombies of Harry Potterdom).
* NiceHat: The new minister's top hat.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Voldemort still has it in for Harry, but is also more than happy to kill his children.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Two tamed dragons have appeared in the series, one with the villains and one raised by Charlie Weasley.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: One-upped by the Necromancer, who not only invented the original Horcrux formula that Voldemort used, but later perfected it. As such, when he was struck by an Avada Kedavra, it just knocked him down for a second or two.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Arcturus Ronolphin Cagney embraced his werewolfdom to the level that he takes measures to force his change by simulating a full moon with magic. Thanks to his resistance potion, he can even use magic while transformed.
** The comic also bends canon slightly by extending the transforming period of werewolves to include the days before and after the full moon.
* OvernightAgeUp: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/248.html Poor poor Rose.]] [[spoiler:[[http://harrypottercomics.net/284.html She gets better, though.]]]]
* {{Photoshop}}: In addition to edited in magical effects and sometimes backgrounds, the characters' facial expressions are nearly always changed to suit the scene.
* {{Pirate}}: They appear while Potter and friends are taking a holiday and there is a kidnapping.
* PowerTrio: Guess.
** Also for the villains with the Necromancer, Medria Darkwood, and Thomas Drake.
* SadistTeacher: The Creature who takes over the potions master position. He takes house points from Albus and Scorpius for being friends due to their respective house histories, gave all of the students make up work for the time he wasn't a professor and even tries to deduct points from Sheriff Ned for asking him a question.
* TheSantaClause: Harry Potter and the Santa Clause apparently exist in the same universe. Also see ''Stargate: SG-1''.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/225.html Fails here.]]
* TheSheriff: Sheriff Ned.
* ShipTease: Neville and Luna get a bit at the beginning of the Christmas Special.
** Scorpius and Rose also get a little bit.
* SkywardScream:Ron gives one after finding out Rose is in, wait for it: "HUFFLEPUFF!"
** This becomes a running gag in a short time.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: [[http://harrypottercomics.net/120.html This strip]] is not in LEGO while [[PlanescapeSurvivalGuide this]] [[http://planescapecomic.com/134.html one]] is.
* StargateVerse: Exists in the same universe as Harry Potter, as seen in the Christmas Special.
* TookALevelInBadass: Ron, fighting two Muslim Terrorist Wizards simultaneously after transfiguring his wand into a sword.
** Hagrid was already pretty Badass but now he's able to do magic freely and knows how to use it.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Occasionally, as the kids have adventures at Hogwarts while the adults try and stop the BigBad but the plotlines have met many times.
* UnsoundEffect: Appear every once in a while. For example, [[http://harrypottercomics.net/318.html Air Brakes!]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The new minister wants to usher in a new era of peace but is completly ignoring Harry's pleas about the trouble brewing in favor of trying to get rid of him and his friends.
* WizardBeard: The Necromancer has one that rivals Dumbledore's.
