--->'''Anthony''': It wasn't the least bit romantic. You see, the train in question was on its way to Dachau.

to:

--->'''Anthony''': --->'''Anthony''':Wonderful couple, my Grandpa and Nana Goldstein. Do you know they've been together for fifty years now? They met on a train in 1943, and they've stayed together ever since.
--->'''Pansy''': (Bored) Yes, yes, It sounds very romantic.
--->'''Anthony''':"Oh no, Miss Parkinson. No, no, no!

Added DiffLines:

* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: ''Dumbledore'']], of all people, seems to believe this to be the case (at least when it comes to himself and only when it comes to romantic love) and he has performed psychic surgery to prevent himself from feeling romantic love. Admittedly, the great love affair of his life (and more importantly, the ensuing breakup and rebound relationship) ended up being partially responsible for [[spoiler: the wizarding equivalent of World War II]].

* BigLittleMan: Harry and his friends return to the Chamber of Secrets at the start of fourth year to check up on whether or not the [[spoiler reincarnated Basilisk has hatched yet]]. ''It has'' and it begins to make suitably epic and threatening pronouncements in parseltongue from offscreen...at which point it enters the characters view and turns out to be all of three feet long.

Added DiffLines:

* FluffyTheTerrible: [[spoiler: Basil]] the Basilisk (even if he is only three feet long). A somewhat justified trope seeing as apparently snakes' names are determined based on the personality of the first parseltongue speaker they imprint on and Harry is a well known DeadpanSnarker.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Peter Pettigrew is revealed to be this, just like Tom Riddle before him.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSpook: The Unspeakables are this as a requirement of their job. Even the department heads don't know who their fellow department heads actually are.


Added DiffLines:

* TraintopBattle: Mogli, Narcissa Malfoy's evil house elf, is assigned to derail the Hogwarts express and kill everyone onboard. Dobby...objects...and this trope ensues.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousIncest: A lot of the more toxic purebloods could be said to fall prey to this, but the previous generation of Blacks took this a step beyond when Walburga started hatching plans to force Sirius to conceive a child with Regulus in order to create the second coming of Merlin.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Peter Pettigrew is this [[spoiler: until the end of third year]] seeing as he has a well respected job as James Potter's lawyer.
* VorpalPillow: [[spoiler: Edwina Pettigrew]] is on the receiving end of one of these at the hands of the son she had spent years manipulating.

* JekyllAndHyde: Bellatrix has no less than three different personalities battling for dominance inside her head due to the experiments of Augustus Rookwood. Miss Demeanour is a [[ImplacableMan calm, cool, and collected killer]] while Bellatrix Lestrange has gone LaughingMad due to her time in Azkaban. Finally there is Bellatrix Black who [[spoiler:is actually quite mild mannered and is downright appalled at what her other personalities have been doing]]. The use of the [[DeathOfPersonality Tabula Rasa]] spell seems to have solved the issue for now, but there are hints that Rookwood may have done something similar to [[spoiler:Barty Crouch Jr. and Dolores Umbridge]].

** Just like in canon [[RedShirt Gibbon]] is the first Death Eater to die (albeit in highly different circumstances) and his death is not particularly dignified (In canon he fell victim to UnfriendlyFire, while here he [[spoiler:was [[OffWithHisHead decapitated]] by Lucius Malfoy's [[WhipItGood Fire Whip]]]] while menacing some of the younger characters. We don't even learn his name until after his demise.

The Wizarding World fear him only behind Voldemort himself and possibly Augustus Rookwood despite Wilkes being a PosthumousCharacter.

** Normally the Hogwarts wards prevent any significant Auror presence at the school. This becomes an issue at the end of second year when [[spoiler:the entire staff is petrified by the Basilisk]]. Lucius Malfoy manages to get around the wards' restrictions by using his position on the Board of Governors to declare an impromptu career fair and thereby get a group of Aurors and Unspeakables into the school in a way the wards will accept to help deal with the crisis.

** Harry comes '''dangerously''' close to making the same mistake after [[spoiler: Podmore's wife]] is killed, but he stops at the last possible moment. He comes even closer to crossing the point of no return after [[James puts him under the Ultimate Sanction]], but once again he stops at the last possible second and realizes that he is about to make a mistake.

* AffablyEvil: Peter Pettigrew is this when it comes to James, Lily, Remus, and Jim (not to mention his Death Eater allies). Everyone else finds him more than a little bit unsettling.


Added DiffLines:

* FauxAffablyEvil: Intentionally subverted by Peter Pettigrew when it comes to the general public (to James, Lily, Remus and Jim,a long with his Death Eater allies, he is AffablyEvil). As Harry himself put it: “He makes a point of trying to act charming and likeable and deliberately failing....And because he fails to be charming and likeable, people think they see through him and find Lord Potter’s ruthless fixer behind the false image. And they never guess that the ruthless fixer is just another false image to hide the back-stabbing Death Eater that represents his true self.”


Added DiffLines:

* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Somewhat deconstructed. They do exist in both the muggle and wizarding worlds and are usually quite effective. Because Harry is under the effects of a Curse that triggers a HatePlague amongst muggles, all the abuse at the hands of the Dursleys is never reported while the wizarding world is controlled by aristocrats, and as such, Child Services do not seek to prosecute wealthy families for child abuse (like Tiberius Nott's treatment of Theo).

** From the first (1780) Trelawney Prophecy, revealed at the very end of Year One:
--->'''Trewlawney''': And you shall know by these portents that the Time of the Dark God approaches and the Destruction of our World is close at hand: When the Two who should be as One are set against each other in reckless hate, and the Last Potter rises as the Prince of Slytherin.
**The last line of chapter 78 not only reveals [[spoiler: the true identity of the fake]] Gilderoy Lockhart but also that his strange actions over the past year have really been laying the groundwork for [[spoiler:freeing Sirius Black from Azkaban]].
--->'''Lockhart''': Please, Harry, we're all friends here. Call me [[spoiler:Regulus]].


Added DiffLines:

* WimpFight: Snape and Sirius's fistfight is described as "more of a slap fight" and "less than a minute of ineffectual efforts to hurt one another," since not only do neither of them have any skill at fighting except with their wands, which have been taken away, they are both recovering from serious physical traumas at the time. They end up stopping mostly because they're both just tiring themselves out to no real effect, so they might as well put the fight on hold until they get their wands back.

The Slytherins were meant to be trapped outside the school, naked and wet, during a blizzard, and Jim was intended to be the scapegoat when "a Gryffindor prank gone wrong" resulted in Harry's death.]]
