** The part in which Hermione and Neville sing [[Music/{{BoB}} "Airplanes"]] was ridiculous enough, but the resurgence of the [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Morde]][[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic twi]] meme makes it even harder to take seriously.

These tropes are people'a tendency to do it. Individual works are using Adaptational Tropes.


* DracoInLeatherPants: Draco himself.



* RonTheDeathEater:
** Ron himself is a cheating bastard who gets killed by an actual Death Eater.
** ''Lavender Brown'' of all people becomes a Death Eater. Needless to say, Book!Lavender showed no such inclination.
** The Death Eaters ''themselves'' are subjected to RonTheDeathEater, since [[GratuitousRape apparently they're all serial rapists]]. Dolohov demonstrates this when he appears, then Draco reveals in an ALLCAPS rant in part two that [[CrossesTheLineTwice they had massive rape parties at Malfoy Manor]].

* DiscreditedTrope: Part of what makes Hermione's Talent so entertaining is that it's pretty much ''everything'' that ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' was (maybe) written to spoof in 2006, such as the anachronistic music, unwizardly ''and'' anachronistic fashion and [[ClusterFBomb copious swearing]], posted in 2010 in apparently complete ignorance of it. The only thing missing was vampires.

''Then'' there's the fact that what little plot the story has fits into the Potterverse about as well as an elephant fits into a shoebox.

!!YMMV tropes in ''Fanfic/HermionesTalent'':
* DracoInLeatherPants: Draco himself.
* {{Narm}}:
** Every time the story reminds the reader of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', which is often.
**[[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Neville's rapping]].
** Every time Ron, Lavender, Draco and ''especially'' Hermione launch into ALLCAPS {{Cluster F Bomb}}s.
** Draco's argument that they were on a break when he cheated on Hermione. Either the author intended it as a ShoutOut to the RunningGag from ''Series/{{Friends}}'', in which case it's hilariously inappropriate in a theoretically serious fic, or she didn't, in which case it's just hilarious.
* RonTheDeathEater: He's a cheating bastard who gets killed by an actual Death Eater.
* SoBadItsGood: It's an unintentional ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' clone trying to play itself straight. Of course it's this.
* UnfortunateImplications:
** See SlutShaming and {{Chickification}} on the main page.
** The story's original premise that somehow getting top grades in all her exams isn't enough to demonstrate to her fellow witches and wizards that [[FantasticRacism Muggle-borns are just as good as purebloods]]. In fact, [[OutOfCharacter Hermione's intelligence is nowhere to be seen]], rather ironically considering the fic's title.
