*** Also In the console versions, in the final level (that is basically a free roam level), you can find Peeves at the top of the Grand Staircase who promises the trio he won't give them trouble because he's waiting until next year... which, again, he doesn't return

* NarmCharm: In the console versions, whenever you're in a stealth segment involving Snape and he catches you, he starts coughing his lungs out. This is due to a glitch that triggers him to say the wrong line instead of chastising you gor sneaking around. Nonetheless, it is pretty funny to get caught by Snape and hear him hack uncontrollably.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The time travel element introduced late in the story is already well known, but how the console versions handle it is very barebones: it cuts straight to when Harry and Hermione see themselves on the other side of the lake and when the former saves themselves and Sirius. It would have made this segment interesting if Harry and Hermione had to leave Hogwarts castle and not be seen by anyone and how they managed to save Buckbeak (it was not revealed what the slashing noise was this time).

** In the console versions, You can find a Quidditch picture (a screenshot of the first movie actually) in the boys dorm. If it is approached as Ron he'll remember the World Cup is happening next year and England and wishes he could see it. If you've read or seen ''Goblet of Fire'', this line hits difficulty.

* HarsherInHindsight: Or perhaps HilariousInHindsight, depending on how you feel about Peeves. This is the last ''Potter'' video game to feature Peeves before he [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappears from the game series]]. In the PC version, he's the FinalBoss, and the following exchange occurs after he's been driven off for good:

-->'''Ron:''' That reminds me: The Quidditch World Cup is happening in England next year! I really wish I could go and see it...

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/EmmaWatson would get into astrology in her thirties, and in 2023, she credited her Saturn return for changing her life in an Instagram post. This makes it retroactively ironic that Hermione is the one who ''doesn't'' believe in divination.[[note]]Although astrology is not portrayed in this film, it is a form of divination, and Professor Trelawney does teach it in the book version of ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]''.[[/note]]

** There's also the occasional pop up at the bottom of the screen reminding players they can use the Right Stick to move the camera around which can also get annoying though admittedly not as much.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: There is a nameless wizard played by [[Music/TheStoneRoses Ian Brown]] who makes a very quick appearance in the Leaky Cauldron, reading ''Liverature/ABriefHistoryOfTime'' and stirring his drink magically without a wand. As wandless magic is something that apparently requires a high degree of skill, and the fact that this wizard is reading a book written by one of Muggle-kind's most prominent physicists when wizards typically disdain Muggle science, a number of fans are convinced that this nameless wizard is secretly one of the most powerful wizards ever depicted in the HP universe due to his open-mindedness regarding what Muggles are capable of and his high degree of skill with magic.

** Was Professor McGonagall not allowing Harry to visit Hogsmeade on weekends without a signed permission form a case of her just sticking to the rules with no exceptions? Or was she just using it as an excuse to keep Harry in the castle so that the staff and security could keep him safe from Sirius Black?

** Instead of being trapped on the cieling like in the book, [[AbusiveParents Aunt Marge]] is last seen ''floating out the house and into the sky.'' Given what she was saying about her dogs, Harry, James, and ''especially'' [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Lily,]] she may have deserved far worse.

-->'''Peeves:''' Don't worry. You won't get any trouble from me. Old Peevesey is saving his energy for next year. Then you'll have to watch out!
