1In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7151727/1/The_Magic_Of_Torchwood The Magic of Torchwood]]'', Team Torchwood (Jack, Ianto, Owen, Tosh, Gwen, continuity compatible until after 'Adam') find an unusual artifact, which de-ages them to 11 years old. Then they receive a NoteToSelf from Jack, which says that they are about to experience something wonderful. The artifact, a crystal, takes them to Jack's apartment during the Summer of 1993, whereupon they receive Hogwarts letters. Let the magic begin...
2
3Having started as a fairly standard crossover between the two fandoms, following the path of the Harry Potter books, it becomes considerably more complex, with the addition of several unexpected characters. More generally, Team Torchwood don't immediately get involved with Harry and company, and have their own goals and their own adventures, and they still work with the non-magical world, usually via Jack's past self.
4
5Additionally, the author is credited as a major influence on Creator/NimbusLlewelyn, author of ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' and is friends with the author of ''Fanfic/DeAged''.

7----
8!!Tropes:
9
10* ActorAllusion: With a little LeaningOnTheFourthWall, in chapter 114, in reference to Creator/RalphFiennes portrayal of Voldemort.
11* AffablyEvil: Jack's boggart.
12* AFatherToHisMen: Jack, sniping at Owen aside, lives and breathes this trope.
13* AlmostKiss: Jack and Ianto at the Yule Ball.
14* AmbiguouslyBi: Harry, of all people, though it mostly extends to being willing to kiss Jack just to practice kissing.
15** Possibly Sirius Black, being willing to jokingly flirt with Jack.
16* AntiHero: Almost everyone, of one variety or another.
17** Jack: Type III. Beginning to show signs of Type IV.
18** Owen & Ianto: Type III
19** Gwen & Tosh: Type II
20** Harry: Moving towards Type III.
21* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
22** Jack's Torchwood contract includes the phrases "''high-risk situation''", "''dangerous artifact''", "''hostile forces''" and "''terrible flirt.''"
23** Of wizarding Britain’s four living sex offenders, Sirius just went streaking at a Quidditch match and Aberforth charmed goats to talk and says it was consensual, while Greyback and Dolohov are acknowledged as monsters.
24* AscendedExtra: Archie, head of Torchwood 2. For one thing, he's [[spoiler: a wizard]].
25* AssholeVictim:
26** [[spoiler: Carol]].
27** [[spoiler: Umbridge]]. The narration of [[spoiler: her arrest]] includes this gem:
28---> She didn't even try to resist. In fact... she was crying. It might almost seem sad, if it weren't for the fact that she so deservedly brought this fate upon herself.
29* AttractiveBentGender: Harry, under the influence of Polyjuice, resulting in DistractedByMyOwnSexy.
30* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Even if, thanks to regular weekly updates, it didn't show for a while. Now, WritersBlock has set in.
31%%* BadassAdorable: Team Torchwood as kids.
32* BadassAngster: Jack, Harry, and Ianto, to various degrees, for various reasons.
33* BadassArmy: Dumbledore's Army. Particularly with the addition of the expertise of Team Torchwood.
34* BadFuture: Jack's boggart represents his worst possible future self.
35** [[spoiler: One of these is caused by Jack's manipulation of events to ensure that Harry doesn't die, meaning that Voldemort still has his last horcrux.]]
36* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Alien technology protects the pyramids.
37* BerserkButton: For Jack, the words 'Master' and 'Freak'.
38** "We don't use that word in the Dungeons anymore. Jack maims us for it." This from Death Eater Draco Malfoy.
39** Also for Jack, bringing up what happened to Gray. John Hart does this, and is hit with an extended Cruciatus Curse, leaving the rest of the DA stunned - and immediately concluding that John is, in fact, suicidal.
40* BewareTheNiceOnes:
41** Ianto. Just because he happens to be in Hufflepuff and is apparently harmless doesn't mean he isn't extremely dangerous, especially when he shows just how easily he could poison the entire school. In fact, everyone smart is absolutely terrified of Ianto.
42** Jack is pretty friendly and very charming. People underestimate him at their peril, as the smarter characters occasionally get a glimpse at something very dangerous underneath.
43** Harry's friendly and goodnatured. He's also an exceptional duellist and has a ruthless streak.
44* BigBrotherMentor: Harry comes to see Jack as this, especially after learning about Jack's immortality and age. So much so, in fact, that [[spoiler: he and Ginny name their firstborn son after him -]] though this might also have something to do with Jack arranging their getting together.
45* BigDamnHero: Luna Lovegood gets a small version of this when she distracts a bully who was attacking Tosh long enough for Tosh to get the drop on the bully in turn.
46* BlackComedy: Team Torchwood are prone to this, particularly Ianto. It is for this reason that Draco inwardly notes that the funnier they find something, the less he wants to know what it is.
47** [[spoiler: While it is kind of horrifying that in the BadFuture Harry was killed, chopped up and buried in different places all over the country to preserve his utility as a Horcrux, it's also kind of funny that the locations were apparently chosen by throwing darts at a map.]]
48* BlatantLies: Jack claims that he's a vampire to escape a photographer. Team Torchwood doesn't deny that Past!Jack being Present!Jack's father is this.
49* BrainBleach: After talking to [[spoiler: John Hart]], Snape ''really'' needs a good Obliviator.
50* CallBack: The pseudo-magical resonance of the Globe Theatre becomes an important plot point later on.
51* CassandraTruth: A very literal example; for one Divination lesson, Jack writes that [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords the world will end Friday 2 March, 2008, at 8:02 a.m. and nobody would notice]].
52* TheCharmer: Jack, as per usual.
53** Harry turns out to be surprisingly adept at this, so long as he's not genuinely interested in the person he's flirting with.
54* ChivalrousPervert: Jack. Both of them.
55* CloudCuckoolander: Luna, as per usual.
56* TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight: When Tosh starts reading the ''Quibbler'', she notes that a few of the creatures discussed in the magazine are actually aliens, and also finds the magazine’s arithmancy puzzles more challenging than those in the Daily Prophet.
57* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: What happens to Umbridge. All of it.
58** Also what Jack does to Mark Avery with duct tape.
59* CoolSword: The Sword of Gryffindor, [[spoiler: especially now that it has been imbued with silver.]]
60** [[spoiler: The lightsabers.]]
61* CombatPragmatist: Jack, especially with how he handles Barty Crouch Jr.
62* CombatSadomasochist: [[spoiler: Werewolf!]]Jack vs Fenrir Greyback has shades of this.
63* ContrivedCoincidence: Time travel is involved, so this is perhaps unsurprising.
64* CreepyChild: Team Torchwood tend to come off as this to those not in the know. Given that they're all OlderThanTheyLook, this is unsurprising, though it's cemented by their [[BlackComedy sense of humour]] and their habit of communicating without apparently saying a word. As a result, Draco Malfoy at one point internally notes that he'd learned from experience that the funnier Team Torchwood find something, the less he wants to know what it is.
65* CreepyGood: Team Torchwood, Jack and Ianto in particular, tend to freak people out.
66* CuteBruiser: Team Torchwood
67* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Owen + fork and utility thereof.
68-->'''Gwen''': He'll do it. I've seen him do it.
69* DarkAndTroubledPast:
70** Jack, naturally; among other referred moments, he mentions how he saw his best friend get tortured to death as a child, and adapts that to be the incident that caused him to have such a bad reaction to Dementors on the initial train-ride.
71** Slytherin Theodore Nott is opposed to the pure-blood philosophies of his house because such a philosophy led to his squib sister being killed when she was four years old and most records of her existence subsequently erased; add in the fact that Nott is able to see Thestrals...
72* DarkerAndEdgier: As compared to the original Potter series.
73* DayInTheLimelight: Plenty of more minor characters get scenes.
74* DeadpanSnarker: Everyone has their moments, but it's usually Ianto.
75* DeathIsCheap: Jack all the way.
76** Harry, though [[BigBrotherInstinct Jack not seeing it that way]] leads to a horrendous BadFuture.
77* DeusExMachina: Take 3 guesses as to why the Doctor hasn't turned up (in a proper chapter), [[spoiler: save for a brief appearance to leave the Sword of Gryffindor for Harry]]. And the first 2 don't count.
78* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Harry, by [[AttractiveBentGender his breasts under the influence of Polyjuice]].
79* DumbMuscle: Many Death Eaters, an opinion shared by both Jacks and Lucius Malfoy.
80* DoingInTheWizard: [[spoiler: John Hart]]'s explanation of magic as understood by the 51st century. Yes, [[spoiler: John Hart]] is a wizard, and a powerful one. Tremble ye mortals!
81* TheDon: by ''Deathly Hallows'', Owen is the undisputed Don Corleone style ruler of Hogwarts, and is universally known as Owen Bloody Harper.
82* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler: Ianto becomes one]], and very successfully, with only Snape catching on.
83* TheDreaded: Voldemort.
84** Jack's Boggart to Jack, mostly for what it represents.
85** As of Chapter 73, Owen Harper, known by the entire school as 'Owen Bloody Harper' [[spoiler: after being the chief architect of Umbridge's downfall and mental breakdown]]. Since by the final book he's evolved into the TheDon and the undisputed ruler of Hogwarts, this is entirely justified.
86* EnemyMine:
87** A less serious one between Ron and Malfoy when dealing with Umbridge.
88** A brief one features when Narcissa is appointed as Harry's "counsellor" by Umbridge in response to [[spoiler:accusations that Dumbledore has abused Harry]]; Narcissa makes it clear that they both know nothing happened and she doesn't like Umbridge any more than Harry does. More to the point, political differences aside, she intends to approach it entirely professionally - apparently, she is actually a counsellor, and good enough that Harry comes to like her.
89** A deadly serious one in Chapter 86 between Harry and [[spoiler: a not quite dead Draco Malfoy]].
90* EnfantTerrible: The general public's perception of Owen Bloody Harper. There is plenty of reason for this.
91* EthicalSlut: Present!Jack previously, Past!Jack currently.
92* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the Slytherins learn one of their own [[spoiler:inspired the rumour that Dumbledore sexually molested Harry]], basically everyone else in the House all express distaste at that lie, as many of them still respected the Headmaster even if they didn’t like him.
93* EveryoneHasStandards:
94** Discussed regarding Jack’s sexual activities; when the gang are contemplating going back to the flat of Jack’s past self for their first Christmas holidays, Jack observes that his younger self might be willing to seduce Tosh if she goes back on her own, as while he wouldn’t do anything without consent and wouldn’t go after someone too young, Tosh is more mature than the eleven-year-old she currently appears to be and ‘consent’ includes seduction while under the influence of Jack’s 51st-century pheromones. Ianto does privately reflect that Jack tries to conform to the standards of whatever era he’s visiting, and people are more resistant to such pheromones in the future so it's not that serious an issue, but it’s still enough that the group decide to stay at Hogwarts for the moment.
95** Umbridge is so hideous that even Jack reflects that he would rather kiss a Weevil than do ''anything'' with her. Owen and Tosh revel in the incredibility of the idea that there's someone Jack wouldn't do.
96** Jack makes it clear that he’d never do goats, even if they were able to give consent, after hearing the reports about Aberforth.
97* EvilCounterpart: Aside from the usual Harry and Voldemort, Jack and Captain John (though how evil he actually is is a matter up for debate).
98* FakeDefector: Jack implies defection to [[spoiler: Barty Crouch Jr.]] Then he [[GroinAttack knees him in the balls]].
99* FakingTheDead: Team Torchwood pull this on [[spoiler: Draco Malfoy]]. It was very effective, right up until they got ratted out.
100* FantasticRacism: By a number of wizards towards muggleborns.
101** Also, the old Torchwood regime towards aliens.
102* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler: Harry ends up dying when Team Torchwood returns to their present, because Voldemort's Horcrux in Harry's scar wasn't destroyed. This led to Voldemort allying with The Master of all people.]]
103* FriendlyEnemy: When Harry is forced to attend a ‘counselling session’ with Narcissa Malfoy in response to [[spoiler:claims that Dumbledore sexually abused him]], they both agree that they aren’t exactly on the same side, but at least Narcissa - who approaches it entirely professionally - won’t ask Harry awkward questions about something he never wants to think about even if it never happened.
104* FutureMeScaresMe: More the possibility as shown by the Boggart. Of course, Jack being Jack, he flirts with it.
105* GenderBender: Harry in chapter 116.
106* GoodIsNotSoft: Team Torchwood. Jack and Owen generally fall under GoodIsNotNice as well, depending on their mood.
107* GoodWithNumbers: Toshiko quickly demonstrates such a strong skill with numbers that she can keep track of the cost of their five wands ''and'' translate that into muggle currency as well, prompting Ollivander to observe that she will certainly find Arithmancy interesting when she gets the chance to take it.
108* GuileHero: Jack and Ianto, Harry and Draco becoming these under Jack's tutelage by different means (Harry gets more cynical and pragmatic, while Draco becomes more moral).
109* GroinAttack: Jack [[spoiler: vs Crouch Jr]].
110* HandsomeLech: Jack again.
111* HalfHumanHybrid: Hagrid, Madame Maxime. Jack jokingly suggests that Snape is half Dementor and Owen claims that one of the Slytherin players is only half Mountain Troll (the rest, save Derrin Harper, are all Mountain Troll).
112** [[BrickJoke It's later revealed]] that [[spoiler: John Hart]] is in fact the one who is half - [[HeinzHybrid or to be more accurate, a quarter]] - [[spoiler: Dementor]] by way of genetic engineering before birth. No one's entirely sure what the other quarter is.
113* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Jack's worst fear is becoming this, as epitomised by his AffablyEvil and vaguely terrifying boggart.
114* HiddenDepths: Apparently, it takes a special kind of hatred to cast the killing curse, with Lucius Malfoy grudgingly admitting that he can't do it. Jack can, which even John Hart, a renowned sociopath, is shocked by.
115* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Implied to have happened in-universe to a NotQuiteDead [[spoiler: Salazar Slytherin.]]
116* IHatePastMe: Jack doesn't outright argue with his past self, but he does observe that he wasn't entirely stable in the nineties.
117* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Jack and Harry get out of taking photographs of the Triwizard Champions when Jack sarcastically claims to be a vampire and Harry protests that he's allergic to the smoke used in flash photography (Krum refuses to be photographed without all four champions present and Fleur just leaves); ironically, Skeeter prints these claims as true rather than realise Jack and Harry were just joking.
118* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Owen.
119* KnightInSourArmour: Owen. Jack under his cheerful mask. Draco's developing into this.
120* LaResistance: [[spoiler: Owen and]] Neville lead the fight against the Carrows.
121* LargeHam: Present!Jack. Oh ''so'' much.
122* LikeASonToMe: How Jack regards Harry. [[spoiler: This backfires when he refuses to let Harry die to kill off the Horcrux in his scar, leading to Voldemort's return and a BadFuture.]]
123* MadScientist: Salazar Slytherin, was [[spoiler: and still is]] one of the more benevolent variety.
124* MagicAIsMagicA: A minor but still significant example; Jack finds it easy to navigate around Hogwarts by adapting his experience from learning his way around the TARDIS while he travelled with the Doctor, as both are essentially semi-sentient buildings with shifting interior architecture.
125* ManipulativeBastard: Jack, again. Witness how he plays the Wizarding World like a harp when [[spoiler: faking Malfoy's]] death, until one of the DA proves to be the spanner in the works, in which some XanatosSpeedChess follows. Also note how he draws Draco and Harry to him and gets them to work together.
126** Theodore Nott, with Jack noting that he was instinctively capable of working in a way that the Time Agency spent years training adults to master.
127** Ianto takes the cake, however, with his [[spoiler: successfully feigning allegiance to Voldemort for months on end.]]
128** Owen ''Bloody'' Harper takes the cake and runs with it, though, managing to play the Slytherins like a well-tuned fiddle and turning the whole of Hogwarts into a gigantic pranking machine. It's up to [[spoiler:John and Salazar]] to put a cap on his madness, and only then for their own purposes.
129* MemeticBadass: Owen in-universe, considered to be one of the few people who could conceivably deal with Voldemort [[spoiler: after dealing with Umbridge]].
130* MindScrew: The Fidelius charm on [[spoiler: Jack's immortality]] has this effect.
131** The latest TimeyWimeyBall has this effect as well, in and out of universe.
132* MistakenForGay: Jack is scandalized that anyone thinks he would restrict himself to [[ExtremeOmnisexual one gender]].
133* MisterSeahorse: [[spoiler: John Hart]]. [[spoiler: Ianto]] is the father and didn't believe him - up until he was shown irrefutable proof.
134* MyFriendsAndZoidberg:
135** Ianto delivers one in Chapter 2
136--->'''Ianto''': Ladies, gentlemen... and Jack
137** Draco later delivers one of his own.
138---> Ladies, gentlemen... Weasley.
139* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Jack hangs around with his past self and with his worst possible future self (the boggart). They all get on disturbingly well.
140* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
141** Jack starting a rumour about Voldemort having sexual relations with the Death Eaters inspires a Slytherin student to create [[spoiler:a similar rumour about Dumbledore and Harry]].
142** Jack, by his refusal to [[spoiler: let Harry die in order to destroy the last horcrux]] accidentally kicks off a monumentally awful BadFuture.
143* NoodleIncident: A given with Jack, such as a time John Hart wore a suit during a murder trial (so significant that the two Jacks agree to use that when choosing a face for the one responsible for a dark event in Jack’s fake childhood). Jack aside, a few examples of these taking place at Hogwarts are also mentioned, such as the time James and Sirius somehow turned the Slytherin table in the Great Hall into a herd of badgers, or how Sirius is listed as a "sex offender" for streaking at a Quidditch match when he was nineteen (something Jack notes he might have done himself).
144* NoteToSelf:
145** Jack to Team Torchwood before they go back in time, then Gwen in the Adam chapter to assure herself not to worry about her lost memory.
146** Harry, Ron, and Hermione before breaking into Gringotts. [[spoiler: Which, naturally, is hijacked slightly by John Hart trying to preserve the timeline]].
147* OddFriendship:
148** Team Torchwood, particularly Jack, and Sirius Black.
149** John Hart and [[spoiler: Salazar Slytherin]] get on disturbingly well, with a StraightManAndWiseGuy routine that horrifies practically everyone.
150* OfficerAndAGentleman: Jack, chivalrous to a fault even when he's trying to seduce you.
151* OhCrap:
152** Everyone in the April Fools chapter.
153** Most people when they realise just how dangerous Jack is and when they realise he's immortal.
154* OlderThanTheyLook: Both Jacks, all of Torchwood.
155* OneSceneWonder: Agatha Harkness, whose sole appearance has her effortlessly put several Death Eaters in their place with some well-chosen words, scare Jack into a Hogwarts carriage, and reveal that she's discovered quite a lot about him, and before departing, hints that she knows about [[Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay the Three Families]] and something of their plans, enough to know that it's likely a fate worse than any she could cook up for Jack (who she blames for her descendant's death. [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident Apparently the training accident, the night after Jack kissed the original Jack in public, was no accident).]]
156* OperationJealousy: Ginny tries to pull one on Harry via Jack. Jack sees straight through this, and gives her some fatherly advice. Ginny and Harry hook up. [[TheMatchmaker Just as Jack planned]].
157* PreAsskickingOneLiner: When Jack takes on Voldemort in the air during the Battle of the Seven Potters.
158-->'''Jack''': You ''really'' don't want a dogfight with me...
159* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: On a few occasions the Torchwood team make reference to films that will only come out in the future, such as ''Film/MenInBlack'' or ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', but fortunately on both occasions there is a more 'conventional' explanation (respectively, Hermione assumed Jack was referring to the original comics, and some Ravenclaws assumed it was just a reference to the original Flying Dutchman myth).
160* RankScalesWithAsskicking:
161** Dumbledore, Jack and Voldemort - the former and latter are exceptionally powerful wizards, while Jack is a formidable fighter and an immortal.
162** Harry to a certain degree as head of the DA, as he's the single most able duellist in their membership, if not the school.
163* RunningGag: Several.
164** Owen and the fork.
165** Ianto and his various attempts to ''Silencio'' Owen (he eventually succeeds).
166** Ianto snarkily referring to Sirius by every dog related nickname possible. e.g. Fido and Lassie.
167*** Jack does this, too.
168** Jack's constant assertion: "I've dated worse."
169** If there is a NoodleIncident that involves Jack, everyone's standard response is 'I don't want to know.'
170** More and more people are wondering how Ianto did not get sorted in Slytherin.
171** Jack being compared to Dorian Grey, starting with a glib remark about a portrait in an attic and finishing with Dumbledore giving Dorian as Jack's middle name in his will.
172* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Jack winds up going bouncing through time to undo his mistake that led to a BadFuture.
173* ScaryBlackMan: Kingsley, according to Gwen. [[WordOfGod It helps that the author has admitted imagining him as Samuel L. Jackson.]]
174* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Gryffindors as a matter of course. All of Team Torchwood. [[spoiler: Draco Malfoy]].
175** Jack thinking that he's doing this [[spoiler: by preventing Harry from being killed by Voldemort]] accidentally kicks off a horrendous BadFuture.
176* SecretKeeper: Jack and Ianto via the Fidelius charm
177* SecretTestOfCharacter: Dumbledore appears to consider Jack as having passed one when he asks Jack to teach Harry in mental defence and Jack asks if Dumbledore really wants ''him'' to train Harry by showing the headmaster some of the darkest parts of his past; as Dumbledore observes, Jack was just as repelled by those memories as he was, which tells Dumbledore everything he needs to know about what Jack is as a person.
178* SelfCest: Jack. With his boggart. This surprised absolutely no one.
179* SheCleansUpNicely: Gwen, which proves to be a minor plot point in the equivalent of ''Order of the Phoenix'' - she can pass for 17/18 well enough to pass for an intern in Fudge's office and [[spoiler: slip him the Clarity Concoction]].
180* SheIsAllGrownUp: Mentioned occasionally (especially in reference to Torchwood, who have all been de-aged), such as Gwen, who is noted by Jack in a SheCleansUpNicely moment that she looks more like 15 than 12 during the Yule Ball and passing for 16/17 at age 13/14 at [[spoiler: the Department of Mysteries.]] Having the attitude of an adult helps.
181* ShoutOut:
182** Torchwood One are working on ''Project: Rebirth''. And Jack has mentioned in the past that they tried to build a supersoldier out of him in the 70's. [[HilarityEnsues Apparently it went hilariously wrong.]]
183** Everyone assumes that Jack is related to [[Characters/ScarletWitch Agatha Harkness]], thanks to his surname and apparently American accent. He's not - but as it turns out, the original bearer of that name was...
184** One chapter is called "[[Literature/TheDemonHeadmaster The Demon Headmistress]]", and someone (apparently Owen) has told some of the students to say "The Headmistress is a marvelous woman and this is the best school I've ever been to!" as a near-direct quote from the book.
185** There are semi-frequent references to ''Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray,'' with Jack being compared (or comparing himself) to the titular character. Dumbledore takes it up to eleven, trolling Jack from beyond the grave by referring to him in his will as 'Jack Dorian Harkness'.
186** One of the songs that [[spoiler: John Hart]] enchanted the senior Slytherins to sing in the equivalent of ''Deathly Hallows'' (others, in flawless 18th century French, then Latin, are about how their parents were siblings and 'something disgusting about House Elves'), is [[{{Literature/Discworld}} The Hedgehog Song]], perhaps better known by its constant refrain, [[BestialityIsDepraved "But the Hedgehog can never be buggered at all."]]
187** Chapter 138 mentions [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles a wizard in Chicago]] with a talent for imploding the Toclafane - itself a possible nod to Dresden obsessed colleague Creator/NimbusLlewelyn.
188** As early as chapter 5, a member of the Davies family is noted to have gone to the dark side - indicated by WordOfGod to be a jab at Creator/RussellTDavies.
189* SnarkKnight: Team Torchwood, Draco and Harry (less than the other two).
190* SoulJar: Voldemort's horcruxes. [[spoiler: John Hart has at least one and created one for Jack.]]
191* SparedByTheAdaptation: Since Jack is the ‘official’ Hogwarts champion rather than Cedric Diggory, Cedric doesn’t get killed by Wormtail.
192* SuperpoweredEvilSide: What Jack's evil future self is implied to be.
193* SuperReflexes: Jack, to a limited extent.
194* SuperSpeed: Jack, connected to his SuperReflexes. He's not exactly the Flash, but he moves a fair bit faster than should be possible for an ordinary human.
195* TakeThat: Several small implied ones, including one at the Harry/Hermione fandom - Hermione and Ron belong together, according to the Clarity Concoction.
196* TakeAThirdOption: Discussed, attempted, and averted when trying to get the locket. Voldemort thought of all the possible loopholes.
197* TeamDad: Jack. It becomes ''really'' obvious when he sets up Harry and Ginny. John Hart later calls him out on his paternal streak towards Harry, which [[spoiler: leads to a BadFuture when Jack couldn't bear to let Harry die to kill off the Horcrux in his scar, leading to Voldemort's return.]]
198* TeamMom: Gwen takes on this role despite being de-aged, and Mrs Weasley obviously takes on this role as normal.
199* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Jack [[spoiler: commits suicide at the Department of Mysteries to get back up faster]].
200* TimeyWimeyBall: This is how Harry, Ron, and Hermione [[spoiler: rob Gringotts]].
201* {{Troll}}: Peeves and the Twins, naturally, while Owen and Jack are both somewhat prone to this.
202** Dumbledore, postmortem. Jack has never taken a middle name, so Dumbledore, aware of Jack's immortality, having a firm grasp on Jack's personality, and with tongue apparently firmly in cheek, gives Jack one when leaving him his Tarot cards in his will: [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian]]. Jack, recognising the reference, is not amused.
203* TroublingUnChildlikeBehaviour: Team Torchwood - unsurprisingly, since they aren't children, for all that they look it. As a result, they tend to act astonishingly inappropriately for their apparent age - or any age, really. At one point, Draco observes inwardly that the funnier Team Torchwood find something, the less he wants to know what it is.
204* VitriolicBestBuds: Jack and Owen, Owen and Ianto, Jack and [[spoiler: Ron]] later on.
205%%* WhamEpisode: Chapter 113.
206* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Jack, who practically quotes it, though in reference to love offending Voldemort.
207* WordOfGod: At times, though like her colleague Creator/NimbusLlewelyn, she tends to use ExactWords. A ''lot.''
208* XanatosGambit: Jack
209* XanatosSpeedChess: Jack
210* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Part of Jack's modus operandi.
211** If it involves Jack, everyone's standard response is 'I don't want to know.'
212** When it comes to Team Torchwood, Draco Malfoy inwardly notes that "the funnier this group of children found something, the less he wanted to know what it was."
213* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Jack's warnings and hints as to how horrifyingly dangerous he can be. He ends up backing it up, by casting the Killing Curse. This is not something easily done, and it requires a certain sort of hatred, to the point where even [[spoiler: John Hart]] is impressed, and disturbed.
