Professor Vector's mathematical solution ''was'' unsolvable unless one had the key, and Quirrelmort only got through by LoopholeAbuse but TakenUpToEleven with the giant wizard's chess board, as the chess pieces throw the loser pieces into a wall and there are giant spikes on the ceiling. However mostly adverted because it's compensated by Hermione's math brilliance.

* DeconstructionFic: Not the most extreme example, but the fic does point out certain inconstencies in characters' behavior and the general weirdness of the wizarding world.
** The first arc does a DeconReconSwitch of the KidHero, pointing out that first years simply do not know enough magic to face a troll, which is defeated with a non-lethal OneHitKill spell cast by Professor Vector;
** ChronicHeroSyndrome is deconstructed too, as everyone points out that a first year at Hogwarts would be curbstomped in a fight against an adult wizard and Harry's attempts to get to the Philosopher's Stone are seen as suicidal;
** Later, the obstacles get a DifficultySpike and Quirrelmort got through by cheating, using an obscure charm to make Vector's enchanted statues color-blind causing a system failure that opens the doorway;
** Hermione points out that Mandrakes are literally PersonOfMassDestruction due to their lethal scream. If a malicious wizard, put an amplifying charm on the plant it would result in the death of thousands. However Professor Sprout points out that the lethal effects are not instantaneous and that the scream cannot be reproduced artificially, such as recording the scream. [[BoringButPractical And that a silencing charm will render the mandrake harmless]].

** When trying to get at the stone, Quirrel just steals the mirror the Stone is inside of, rather than just sitting around and trying to puzzle it out in Hogwarts. He's still stopped, though.

** Although "Mundane" is selling what they do a little short- while the initial method of wearing sunglasses works, Hermione ''invents a spell on the fly to figure out the precise wavelength of light needed to block it out''. And better? With them, she's able to look the Basilisk in the eye and only feel like she's got a migraine, rather than getting knocked out, paralyzed, or killed.
Added DiffLines:
** She has to verbally beat both of her friends into submission to take more advanced classes than the ''easy O'' classes of Divination and Care of Magical Creatures, pointing out that the two are actually really good at what they do- Harry's mind is fine enough for Arithmancy (with the added benefit of him having muggle schooling, which is better at maths than the wizarding counterpart), and Ron is better at Runes than Hermione is.
