* MismatchedEyes: Professor Kirtle has these, of the heterochromia variety. They are noted for giving her a slightly manic look.

* DeathEqualsRedemption: Discussed. When Rose is worrying that Albus will be sorted into Slytherin, she thinks of Snape as an example of a good Slytherin, but one who had to die in order to be good.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Played with, but mostly averted. Several characters are described as having brown skin without a specific ethnicity, but their surnames or relatives usually give clues. Professor Shafiq is implied by his surname to be of Middle Eastern origin, though he's also Very British. Elin Haksar can be assumed to be of Indian origin from her surname, although the early reveal that she is [[spoiler:Cho Chang's daughter]] clarifies that she's half-Indian, half-Chinese.


Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Scorpius does his best to infuriate Rose after she publicly reveals his fear of flying. Lyra will outright threaten anyone who hurts her friends. Kindly healer-in-training Eva Sandsgard is furious when a student abandons their injured housemate at the bottom of the hospital wing stairs so they can get back to playing Quidditch.
* BrutalHonesty: Lyra has a habit of using this.
* ButNotTooForeign: Professor Shafiq's extreme Englishness can be read as this. On the other hand, it is canon (via Pottermore) that the Shafiqs were a British pureblood family back in the twenties and probably a long time before that, so it makes a certain degree of sense.

Added DiffLines:

* AllWitchesHaveCats: In addition to the canon examples, Rose has a half-kneazle cat from Mrs Figg.


Added DiffLines:

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Referenced with the canon example of the Death Eaters. Lyra bluntly refers to them as “wizard nazis.”
* AsleepInClass: Nobody will be conscious during Binns' History of Magic lessons.

* NoodleIncident: [=McGonagall=] warns older students off "any dangerous forms of ‘initiation’", i.e. hazing, on penalty of expulsion. One of the Ravenclaw prefects assures the first years that such things are normal — ''"There was just an incident a few years back and Professor [=McGonagall’s=] never forgiven them."''

''Returning'' is an in-progress Harry Potter Next Gen Fic by troper @/{{GlassCatOwl}}. It starts pretty much the moment the Epilogue left off, only from the perspectives of Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley. An incident with Rose’s cat gets the two of them off to a bad start, only made worse by the fact they’re sorted into the same house. The fic covers their first year at Hogwarts, which will be rather eventful — much to their headmistress’s displeasure.
