History YMMV / PartiallyKissedHero

* CriticalResearchFailure: The parts of canon that aren't deliberately rewritten tend to fall under this. For example:

** Most severe of all seems to be the repeated inference that Lily's sacrificial protection would stop the Avada Kedavra curse indiscriminately. Per canon, that works by perpetrator, not the method they chose, meaning it would only be effective against Voldemort, and no one else. And even against Voldemort, due to basically being made of willing sacrifice, this protection most likely can't be leeched from Harry and used for other people.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Draco Malfoy is probably supposed to be seen as an obnoxious, dickish SmugSnake who brings the bad things that happen to him on himself, but he goes through so much horrible shit that the reader can't help but feel sorry for him.

** Ornstead himself crosses it by justifying [[spoiler: the nuking of a real group of people to extinction. Not only is it in a far bigger scale than the aforementioned atrocity, but he takes such perverse glee in describing how civilization will be destroyed as just punishment for abandoning absolute monarchy, meaning he actually believes this in real life and that his professed libertarian beliefs were a lie. Even many fans of him called him out for that.]]

** Ornstead himself crosses it by justifying [[spoiler: the nuking of a real group of people to extinction. Not only is it in a far bigger scale than the aforementioned atrocity, but he then says society can only recover by reinstating ''absolute monarchy''.]]

** The biggest crossing of the line of all is [[spoiler: the nuking of a real group of people to extinction, portrayed in a positive light. It's in a far bigger scale than the aforementioned atrocity.]]

** The story acts like the destruction of Turkey will completely cut off the world's oil supply. It's barely in the top ''fifty'' oil-producing countries. Even taking into account [[spoiler:that most other Muslim-majority countries are being destroyed at the same time), No. 1 and No. 4 on the list are ''the United States'' and ''Canada'', respectively.

** The Department of Mysteries holds innocent people captive against their will, most notably Luna’s grandmother [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice]]. It’s also run by a Death Eater, even though ''Order of the Phoenix'' disproves this.

'''The result:''' Harry and the others are emboldened to try it with ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'', leading to a panic as wizards come to think that [[TheMasquerade the Statute of Secrecy]] has been breached, [[MugglePower and the Muggles are fighting back]].

%%* UnfortunateImplications: Lots and lots of them. Really, they're barely even implications - they're all but outright stated.
%%** Male-attracted men. [[labelnote:Initial]]Lionheart has a bad track record with male-attracted men, mostly centering on Dumbledore. This includes characterizing them as pederasts. When Snape's Polyjuice pimping service is introduced, it is stated that he also sells an age-up potion, which only the women tend to buy.[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Conclusion]]It eventually culminates in one of Harry's schemes to discredit Dumbledore being a cruel chocolate frog reprint declaring him to enjoy anal sex, and re-characterizing the men of the Malfoys and Lestranges to be both uninterested in their wives and women in general, and part of a club devoted to raping little boys.[[/labelnote]]
%%** Werewolf rights.[[labelnote:Initial]]This starts with incredibly uncomfortable implications when Harry is first fortifying his fiefdom in Godric's Hollow--he wants to secure the town against Voldemort's forces, which would include werewolves, and essentially makes it impossible for any to enter. There is some minor internal narration from Harry mentioning how unfortunate that is for Remus, he had to protect everyone--and "everyone" seemingly doesn't include him.[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Conclusion]]By Chapter 58, Harry has built six towns with the same proofs, and has passed laws in the Ministry that [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans created a werewolf reserve]] and made it law that all werewolves [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany had to wear an unremovable collar that teleported them to it on the full moon, with the full extent of anti-werewolf laws in place for any who don't wear them, and any uncollared lycanthrope subject to kill-on-sight laws]].[[/labelnote]]
%%** Women's vanity,[[labelnote:Initial]]There are consistent, jarring little insertions here and there on how much women and girls enjoy beauty, enjoy makeup and clothes, and enjoy beautifying themselves and talking about romance, sometimes boiling the gender as a whole down to these.[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Conclusion]] This eventually culminates in the idea that women apparently would knowingly sacrifice their free will and become sex slaves for beauty, which of course means a cult of sex slaves for Harry.[[/labelnote]]
%%** Sexism[[labelnote:Explanation]]Men that aren't Harry very nearly don't exist in the story; what few men the author does not [[RonTheDeathEater villainize]] simply [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome vanish entirely]], such as Neville and Lupin. Being a woman in-story equals being a good person ([[DracoInLeatherPants such as the Bellatrix example above]]) and, of course, being attracted to Harry. As of Chapter 71, this extends to ''every named female in the series'', right down to the ghosts. The [[spoiler:dryad slave]] plot is, at the author's insistence, supposed to be about rising up against Dumbledore, yet the exhaustive list of characters to be "enlightened" includes no men whatsoever. The unfortunate implication is that the author is not interested in characters without breasts and vaginas, even to sate his vast web of plot.[[/labelnote]]
%%** Racism. [[labelnote:Initial]] Almost a whole chapter is devoted to an invented confection by Fred and George labeled "Caucasian Creams". The advantages of being white in a system where non-white people get discriminated against are lavishly spelled out, suggesting that it's better to simply become white than fight said racist system. That would be bad enough, until the Patil twins spelling this out explicitly say that they'd be "far more desirable" in their home country, where such racism presumably wouldn't factor in, as whitewashed versions of themselves.[[/labelnote]][[labelnote:Conclusion]]By Chapter 85, Lionheart is lecturing the reader on the ignorance, feral nature, and inherent inferiority of tribal cultures, most conspicuously spear-wielding natives.[[/labelnote]]
%%** Anti-Semitism. [[labelnote:Explanation]]While Rowling has been accused of leaning into some unfortunate tropes with her portrayal of the goblins, Lionheart takes it UpToEleven by characterizing them as AlwaysChaoticEvil and committing cruelty for its own sake, turning their canon BlueAndOrangeMorality jet black in the process.[[/labelnote]]

** The goblins, who, despite being turned into [[GreedyJew a hodgepodge of the worst antisemitic stereotypes]], are not directly shown committing any of the evil acts the narrative claims they do constantly, and wind up [[spoiler:the targets of a genocidal war once Voldemort takes over the Ministry]], which the narrative blames on [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming them closing down Gringotts]], glossing over that they only do so because Harry had effortlessly robbed them blind without even intending to do so. The goblins have a legitimate grievance against the wizards, and did nothing wrong here.

** Luna is also awful, because she encourages Harry to continue when even he realizes he has gone too far.

** Ron gets off rather lightly compared to other characters Lionheart doesn’t like, but he’s nonetheless portrayed as a self-centered, obnoxious boor who only pretended to be friends with Harry, partly because Dumbledore recruited him to do so, and partly for his own selfish reasons.

* TheWoobie: A spell cast upon [[spoiler:Snape]] causes him to horribly torture [[spoiler:Draco Malfoy in the Slytherin common room]], in front of, among others, first year students. The timing is such that Memory Charms can’t be used on any of the kids. Regardless of the trauma, somehow [[spoiler:Draco]] lives, and apparently Perfect Lionheart thinks it’s just deserts for him to be [[spoiler:turned into a woman, forced into a breeding program in which he has to bear ''twenty-four children'' to Crabbe and Goyle, who think that BEATING THEIR WIVES ensures conception]], and forced to allow the other Purebloods to torture and abuse him repeatedly because thanks to Harry's machinations he has no title, no money, no last name and no family. Thus, it’s understandable why he is more than willing to [[spoiler:become a fanatical killer like Bellatrix to escape the breeding contracts so that he can’t be raped or abused anymore]]. If that were not enough, [[spoiler:Narcissa]] says at one point that, [[spoiler:“All three of them [[[ParentalIncest Lucius]], Rabastan and Rodolphus] were far more interested in Draco than they ever were in [her] or Bellatrix.”]]

'''What's more:''' These are witches. Even if they are too panicked to push the door open or blast it down with magic, shouldn't they be able to cast a Bubble-Head Charm to save themselves? It's unlikely that they would forget that in a matter of life or death.

** Dumbledore is brought to the Hospital Wing because three of his students, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, have been admitted and are raving about a [[OxymoronicBeing Muggle Dark Lord]] named Colonel Sanders, due to a Confundus Charm.\\

** Harry and his harem flood the Ministry in order to destroy the records of who is pureblood, leaving [[InnocentBystander the archivists]] (and others) there to drown. Nothing blocks the exit, which is a door that opens outward to safety.\\

* WhatAnIdiot: Harry and his harem flood the Ministry in order to destroy the records of who is pureblood, leaving [[InnocentBystander the archivists]] (and others) there to drown. Nothing blocks the exit, which is a door that opens outward to safety.\\

'''Result:''' They drown, and [[TooDumbToLive the narrative blames them for their own stupidity]].

** Harry crosses it in Chapter 9, when he kills [[spoiler:Snape]] for the first time. [[MindRape The way]] [[YourHeadASplode he murders him]] is too brutal.

** The demonization of Dumbledore is so extreme that he becomes a mustache-twirling villain... literally.

** Draco Malfoy is said to have set up a younger boy to undergo a forced sex change and subsequently be subjected to horrific rapes. While Draco is an asshole, there's no evidence that his canon self is capable of such a thing, and indeed, the one time canon!Draco was asked to commit a genuine act of evil (as opposed to just being a {{jerkass}}), he couldn't go through with it.
