History Narm / HarryPotter

* When Lucius Malfoy realises that Harry has tricked him into releasing Dobby from his service, he threatens him with his wand and ''clearly'' starts to perform ''Avada Kedavra''. That's ''ridiculously'' DisproportionateRetribution -- he's essentially going to kill a kid in broad daylight at Hogwarts with an Unforgivable Curse. At that point in the series, the Unforgivable Curses hadn't really been codified, and actor Creator/JasonIsaacs basically admitted that he pulled a curse he read in the books without really knowing the implications of it, but still. Fans have [[FanWank tried to explain]] that Lucius was aiming for Dobby, realising that Dobby's meddling was why his plan was even discovered.

-->'''Hermione:''' ''Ha''rry, no WAY, you ''heard'' what Madame Hooch said, ''any''way you don't even know how to fly! ''[Harry flies off on his broom]'' WHAT an ''idiot''.

* The scene where Harry has a hallucination of Voldemort at the train station. The fact that Voldemort is wearing a suit has caused fans to liken it to a PerfumeCommercial. Tell yourself that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGs1UQygpjU this music]] doesn't match the scene.

* The way that Harry screams when Voldemort's retreating spirit passes through his body after Quirrell's body has been turned to ash.

** Lucius' one is particularly funny, because a few pages later in that scene, a Death Eater ''is'' accidentally [[FountainOfYouth de-aged to an infant]] (kinda -- he's more trapped an endless time loop thanks to his head getting caught in a Time Turner).

* The book is punctuated by Harry's frustration at everything around him, leading him to yell a lot. There are a couple of points where all of Harry's lines are in [[NoIndoorVoice all caps]] to accentuate the point; fans call this version "Caps Lock Harry". At ''many'' other points, we see the phrase "Harry said loudly", suggesting he's lost all concept of an inside voice. It culminates in Harry's tantrum in Dumbledore's office after Sirius's death, which includes grabbing Dumbledore's belonging and throwing them against a wall -- Harry's ranting goes on so long and is so immature that it becomes hilarious once the reader's shock at Sirius's death has worn off. (Dumbledore also responds with a delightfully nonchalant "I have too much stuff anyway" comment.)

* Sirius Black is described in a news story as carrying a gun, which is ''helpfully'' described for wizards reading it as "a kind of metal wand that Muggles use to kill each other". So wizards can have things like trains and flying cars, but despite two World Wars, one of which Britain was heavily involved in, they have never heard of guns, ever, not even the wizards who live in Muggle society. Also, personal handguns, which Sirius would presumably carry, are often L-shaped and much thicker than the long and straight wands used by wizards.

** However, it still might count for intimidation: as [[https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/8-fantastic-beasts-to-be-scared-of-this-halloween according to this Pottermore article,]] there were some stories of people hearing the cry just before they died from a heart attack. Its up to some to decide whether its MaybeMagicMaybeMundane.

* When Hermione threatens Malfoy for speaking ill of Hagrid, in the book, she's so angry she can [[{{Angrish}} barely get the words out]] ("Don't you dare call Hagrid pathetic, you foul-- you evil--"). For the movie, the writers inexplicable exchanged the line to the [[GoshDarnItToHeck tamer]] and stupider "You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" The awful acting from Emma Watson and Tom Felton just make the scene more ridiculous.
