* ContinuityNod: Ron's InUniverse AlternateAesopInterpretation for "The Tale of the Three Brothers" is that if you have an unbeatable wand, you shouldn't go around bragging about it or daring others to fight you. Something similar comes up with the youngest brother's InvisibilityCloak; some people believe (correctly) that his descendants are still using it and either don't know where it came from or are fully aware and smart enough to keep it quiet.

* WomenAreWiser: "No witch in history has ever claimed to own the Elder Wand. Make of that what you will." The implication being, of course, that women are either too smart to want the wand or too smart to advertise that they have it.

* {{Disneyfication}}: Spoofed: In one of Dumbledore's commentaries he describes how a Beatrix Bloxam republished Beedle's tales, taking them to ridiculous heights of [[SickeninglySweet Tasting Like Diabetes]] - her wizarding card in one of the [[VideoGame/HarryPotter video games]] even says her book was banned for inducing vomiting. He later explains that this happened after she was horrified by "The Warlock's Hairy Heart", which incidentally she was never able to "sweeten" to her satisfaction. All this, and the fact that kids ''hated'' the Bloxam versions, might very well be a TakeThat against the many real-life MoralGuardians who worried that ''Harry Potter'' was traumatizing children.

* FreudianExcuse: Beatrix Bloxam's hatred of anything not overflowing with {{glurge}} apparently stems from her overhearing "The Warlock's Hairy Heart" as a child and being traumatized by it. That it somehow segued into "ghastly details of the dreadfully unsavory affair of [[NoodleIncident my uncle Nobby, the local hag and a sack of Bouncing Bulbs]]" didn't help, she was in bed for a week after that. [[invoked]]

* EpicFail: The attempt at Hogwarts to put on a production of "The Fountain of Fair Fortune." The InUniverse RomanceOnTheSet mentioned below led to a fierce duel between two of the actresses while an ashwinder was busy setting the place on fire. No further attempts at stage productions have been made at Hogwarts since. The professor in charge of the play became a full-time playwriter after that, but never attempted to make the story again, thinking [[TheScottishTrope it was cursed]].
