** Harry ends up learning so much from his experience as a lion that he ends up choosing to stay as one permanently at the end.
** Everyone in the story gets turned into different things. The story follows how these changes affect their character.
* '''Downplayed''': Harry is forced to live similarly to a lion would as punishment for killing one unfairly, but doesn't actually get turned into one.
* '''Justified''': Harry being forced to live as a lion altered his perspective on how they are, and showed that he shouldn't take things for granted.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???

* '''Played for Horror''':
** Harry is turned into a lion in the most [[TransformationHorror disturbing]], [[PainfulTransformation painful]] way possible - in this case, it seems that the point is to give Harry his comeuppance right off the bat.
** Harry is turned into a lion, but in this state he undergoes SanitySlippage and becomes an even more AxCrazy villain instead of reforming like he should've.
