* HilariousInHindsight: Nicolas Flamel [[spoiler:replaces Snape as Potions teacher [[NotHisSled when everyone assumed that Slughorn would]]]]. When Flamel appeared in ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald'', he was dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese by Slughorn's VA, Creator/IsaacBardavid.

* FanPreferredCouple: In early 2014, the author ran a "shipping poll" as a response to several reader comments about various ships. Unsurprisingly, [[PlatonicLifePartners Harry/Ronnie]] was the favoured (possible) ship, with [[ShipMates Harry/Ginny & Ronnie/Neville]] as each characters' second most favoured pairings. The author did emphasise that there were no immediate plans for any ships, and that the poll was only for fun and not likely to affect the outcome of the story at all -- the Harry/Ronnie ship was addressed with a somewhat apologetic "it's ''probably'' not going to happen," the two characters referred to more as PlatonicLifePartners. It gets definitively sunk near the end of "Secrets of the Past" with TheReveal [[spoiler:that Ronnie is canonically a lesbian (albeit one who is only just discovering her sexuality) and that [[WordOfGod Hyaroo knew this for quite a while]]]].

* Adorkable: Colin ends up being this in the second installment. He still demonstrates his fan-boy tendencies, but also comes off more endearing especially when he begins to look up to Hermione as well.

* CatharsisFactor: To anyone who found Snape to be despicable in the first book, [[BewareTheNiceOnes Hagrid]] ''yelling'' at him when he is bullying Harry at the end is really satisfying, especially when Snape shuts his mouth afterwards.

* NotHisSled: Following [[spoiler:Snape's resignation]] at the end of the first story, it's pretty damn obvious to the readers that [[spoiler:Horace Slughorn]] will be his replacement. [[spoiler:This is brilliantly subverted - the new Potions Master turns out to be ''Nicholas Flamel'' who, thanks to changed events, has elected to not die yet and continue assisting Dumbledore for a while longer.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The author was planned a slightly larger role for [[SpearCarrier Fay Dunbar]] for the first story, including the revelation that she had never even seen a Muggle in her life, in order to emphasize world building and class distinctions. The scene never made it in, although it is slightly echoed with Lavender in the second story, when she briefly talks about Muggles.
-->'''Hermione:''' Lavender, have you even ''met'' any Muggles?\\
'''Lavender:''' Of course! Lots of them! Well, one or two. It's possible one of them was a Squib.
** In ''Secrets of the Past'', WordOfGod is that the original plan was for [[spoiler: Slughorn to take over the role of Potions Master after Snape's resignation]], as most people anticipated. During planning of the story, however, the author realized that Dumbledore - in his position - was a person who had many people looking up to him but few who he could speak to as equals, let alone as his own superiors. Thus, Roo decided to bring in [[spoiler: Nicholas Flamel, who was Dumbledore's partner in alchemy and close contemporary despite being 500 years older]] in order to explore this facet of Dumbledore's character in-story. [[spoiler: Flamel not destroying the Philosopher's Stone yet]] is justified due to the events of the previous story; most significant of all being [[spoiler: Voldemort would be unable to use the Stone even if he ''did'' get it, thanks to the Immunity Potion that Snape used on him.]]
