Harry Potter Humour Fic-Need Fan Dumb Cliche's

Okay I want to write a humor Fic with every Fan Dumb fan Fic cliche possible, any suggestions?

Well... there is the obvious: Harry Potter is the Trope Namer for both Draco in Leather Pants and Ron the Death Eater. Matter of fact, you can probably find everything you need just by looking at our various "shipping" tropes - they're a gold mine for parody material.

I mainly know about cliches involving the epilogue kids because those are the Potter fanfics I usually read, so here's some:

• Harry and Ginny's kids tend to not have as specific personality cliches, but usually Rose acts like Hermione, Hugo acts like Ron, Fred Jr. acts like his namesake, Victoire is popular and often rather prissy and is usually the one with the most Veela charm of the siblings who looks like a Fleur clone, Dominique has Middle Child Syndrome and is often the family rebel and often doesn't have blond hair
• Scorpius tends to at least have his dad's snobbiness to some extent, even if he's not in Slytherin, and he's often portrayed as being suave and cool and definitely smug, sometimes as being popular with the girls. He usually ends up with either Albus, Rose or Lily, and if it's with Rose, they seem to start off hating each other and eventually fall in love, probably using the Slap-Slap-Kiss trope. However, I have mainly gotten some of these ideas from reading the FF.net summaries and not the stories themselves because I usually don't like to read stories where Scorpius is cool and confident and Draco-ish (mainly because I HATE Draco and Lucius with a passion and thus hate the idea of Scorpius's personality being too similar to theirs, and I hate their smugness the most so I don't like seeing that trait in Scorpius either). The stories where he's with Rose tend to involve the parents hating the idea, especially Ron and Draco, at least from what I've seen of the summaries.
• Often Albus will feel pressured to live up to Harry or else James will (but this pressure seems to go on Albus more, even though he's not the oldest Potter kid), Albus might hate his name or else someone else might give him a "cooler" nickname like Asp, if he's in Slytherin his initials spelling "ASP" will probably be brought up

Ooh Ginny being utterly evil and slutty. Ron will be eating a puppy in the background of every scene. Vernon will be so abusive it's becomes hilarious. Also crack shipsm need them.

oh and Snape. He is either a misunderstood hottie or he's a creepo who gives pretty girl students detention and sex ensues.

Daaaamn do I hate that trend.

There's also Hermione suddenly getting "curves in all the right places" and student/teacher pairings being looked on as innocent if smexy fun.

Yeah, the She Is All Grown Up trope is another excellent target. Another phrase commonly seen (enough so to get mentioned on Other Stock Phrases) is "[character] had changed over the summer".

This one has been parodied a lot, though, so you may just want to leave it alone. Also, for a cliche not related to shipping, there's always really bad Canis Latinicus spell names.

Oh, and abusive!Lucius.

Any common over the top forms of abuse in bad Dursley fics?
