* ArcFatigue: First Task of the EMT: One chapter. Second Task: Four chapters of prep, one chapter of actual task. Third Task: Three chapters of prep, one chapter of actual task, one chapter for judging. Fourth task: [[spoiler:Four chapters of prep, ''eleven'' chapters of actual task, and it ended prematurely (on the third day out of two weeks) because of Ra going off the rails on the second night.]] People started wondering about how long the fourth task would take when it reached the second chapter.

Now about fanon trends, not specific fanworks which are Adaptational tropes.


* RonTheDeathEater: All of the Marauders are made into jerks, with the exception of Pettigrew, who gets [[DracoInLeatherPants the opposite trope]].

** Yegor Poliakov, champion of Sloth, is notable for being the only Dark Champion who c across as TheChosenZero, is one of the few champions uninterested in villainous power games, and shows some CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass skills near the end of the Fourth Task of the European Magical Tournament. [[spoiler:He is unceremoniously decapitated by Ra in his second fighting scene and only five chapters after getting his first line of dialogue]].

** A ridiculous amount of time in several chapters gets spent describing the highly complicated set of rules for how to win the Fourth Task of the magical tournament, [[spoiler:only for the task to come to an end as a side effect of the main conflict long before many of those rules come into play]].

* {{Padding}}: Every twenty chapters or so, there's likely to be a chapter where nothing truly relevant seems to happen and fans are frustratedly waiting around for approaching important events. This is most pronounced during Alexandra's third year, where less is going on.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Reviewers of the story are nearly unanimous in criticizing how Remus Lupin is used. He only has dialogue in two or three chapters. In the last of those chapters, he [[spoiler:joins James and Sirius in trying to kill Alexandra]] for reasons which are poorly articulated despite there being some good reasons for him to turn on the Light fanatics (which is lampshaded InUniverse).

Lots of fans agree that some chapters are full of unnecessary stuff but I hesitate to be specific due to how opinions can vary on which chapters are like that.
