* DiabolusExMachina: if Voldemort isn't behind the dementor attack, (since the Dark Lord himself never appears, this is an easy interpretation) then they show up for literally no other reason than to menace the riders because apparently they just felt like it.

It is made very clear in the franchise that owning a dragon is ''very illegal'', which the portrait of Salazar Slytherin {{lampshades}} at one point during the queue.

* AbsenteeActor: Much of the Hogwarts staff is not seen, but most notably Professor Snape. This is because Alan Rickman turned down the offer to appear in the ride, as [[IAmNotSpock he didn't want to always be associated with the character]].

The ride first opened at Universal's Islands of Adventure on June 18, 2010. Its massive success prompted a duplicate to be constructed at Universal Studios Japan, which opened on July 15, 2014. Two years later, Universal Studios Hollywood finally received their own clone of the ride (that opened on April 7, 2016) after it spent a long period of time in DevelopmentHell. The two duplicates of the attraction feature some minor differences to their original Orlando counterpart, such as having a much more overwhelming Dementor sequence. Also unlike Orlando, Japan and Hollywood's version of the attraction was presented in 3-D, but due to negative guest reception[[note]]Let's just say that having 3-D mixed in with the ride's motions ended up being a major source of NauseaFuel for guests...[[/note]] it was later removed.

Added DiffLines:

* AudienceParticipationFailure: Hermione tells guests to say "Observatory" for the Floo Powder to work its magic in getting them there, but one can't be sure if they're either [[SceneryPorn too taken in by the scenery]] or too busy getting strapped in to listen.

But Thou Must is typically a video game trope


* ButThouMust: At the start of the ride, Hermione tells the guests to say "Observatory" as she tosses floo powder on them. Even if the riders don't say it, they'll still be teleported there anyway.
