Line #6 FanNickname/HarryPotter


1	* Voldy/Voldie, Voldypants, Moldywarts, Moldyshorts, Voldilocks - Voldemort, of ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fame/infamy. In ''Deathly Hallows,'' Peeves the Poltergeist actually uses the first, and Moldyshorts came from a parody sketch on ''Series/AllThat''.
2	** Voldemort's various states have nicknames such as Vapormort (when he was a disembodied soul), Babymort[=/=]Voldabort (when he inhabited a rudimenary body), Harcrux[=/=]Scarcrux for the bit of soul stuck in Harry, etc.
3	* Vapormort is used to refer to Voldemort when he was "less than a ghost". Quirrellmort is Quirrell possessed by Voldemort.
4	** Or a pairing that soared in popularity after the release of ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical''.
5	* CAPSLOCK!HARRY - Harry in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]''.
6	* Umbridge is sometimes called "Umbitch", because she's probably the most hated character in the entire series. Yes, even more than [[BigBad Voldemort]].
7	* Gandalf the Gay: Dumbledore, after the author confirmed he was homosexual...and before too.
8	* The AlternateDVDCommentary [[http://www.illegal-art.org/video/wizard.html Wizard People, Dear Reader]] provided several nicknames that have caught on with the fans. A few of the more hilarious examples:
9	** Ronnie the Bear for Ron Weasley.
10	** Hardcastle [=McCormick=] for Prof. [=McGonagall=].
11	** Ragtime Roast-Beefy O'Weefy for Dudley Dursley.
12	** The Bloody Eyed Cat and her manservant Dazzler for Mrs. Norris and Mr. Filch.
13	** Catface Meowmers for Madam Hooch.
14	* MWPP for Remus Lupin (Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), Sirius Black (Padfoot), and James Potter (Prongs). They're also known as the Marauders after the Marauder's Map. Rowling [[AscendedFanon eventually confirmed]] that they called themselves the Marauders.
15	* Some fans have taken to calling Sirius the Dogfather for... obvious reasons.
16	* The Trio/The Golden Trio - Harry, Hermione and Ron.
17	** "Secondary Trio" or "Silver Trio" for Ginny, Neville and Luna
18	** "Silver Trio" or "Bronze Trio" for Draco, usually Pansy, and either Blaise Zabini or Theodore Nott ([[TerribleTrio Draco, Crabbe and Goyle]] [[DracoInLeatherPants are VERY rare]])
19	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnULlBBP9BY this interview]], Creator/JKRowling says she has privately used the term "The Big Seven" to refer Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and Draco. So... "Creator Nickname"?
20	* OBHWF - stands for One Big Happy Weasley Family, referring to the speculation/headcanon that the series would end with Hermione marrying Ron and Harry marrying Ginny, thus integrating the whole main cast into said family. [[spoiler:This is indeed what ended up happening in canon.]]
21	* Harrycrux - The theory/headcanon that Harry is an accidental Horcrux. [[spoiler:Canon indeed ended up taking this route in ''Deathly Hallows''.]]
22	* Ho!Mione or Whoremione - The PossessionSue version of Hermione with [[SheIsAllGrownUp "curves in the right places"]] and no interest in anything but romance, typically paired with Draco in badfics. There's also "Ho!rry" for slutty fanfic versions of Harry.
23	** [[Film/ForrestGump His girlfriend, Jenny,]] [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic was kind of a slut]]
24	* Slytherin Prince/Slytherin Sex God - a fairly [[DracoInLeatherPants idealistic]] (or ironic) nickname for Draco Malfoy
25	** The term "Draco in Leather Pants" used to be used similarly, but this usage has declined, probably at least partially because [[DracoInLeatherPants it was adopted as a trope name by this very website]]
26	* Worthless Canon Brats - Teddy Lupin and the respective Potter, Weasley and Malfoy children who appear in the epilogue. For obvious reasons, used by people who hated the epilogue and/or the canon ships.
27	** Wotters: A more favorable name for the various Next Gen kids in the Weasley family. A combination, obviously, of "Weasley" and "Potter" (for Harry and Ginny's kids).
28	* Moonstruck: Harry/Lupin fanfics.
29	** Puppy Love or Wolfstar for Sirius/Lupin fanics
30	** Wotcher Wolfie for Lupin/Tonks
31	** Gin and Tonic for Ginny/Tom Riddle
32	** The Government Stole My Toad for Luna/Neville
33	** Guns 'n' Handcuffs for Harry/Draco
34	** Orange Crush for Harry/Ginny
35	** Harmony or Pumpkin Pie for Harry/Hermione, the latter based on a fanfic where they kiss and Hermione notes that Harry tastes of pumpkin pie.
36	** Fire and Ice for Draco/Ginny
37	** The Good Ship for Ron/Hermione
38	* House Sparklypoo - The fifth House where Mary Sues belong. It [[https://archive.ph/n5dh5 showed up]] in a one-shot Fan Webcomic and the name stuck. On Livejournal, user Pottersues came up with three more Houses for different types of Sue:
39	** Bitchiwitch (JerkSue)
40	** Tootsitramp ([[LemonStu Lemon Sue]])
41	** [[CanonDefilement Qanonreip]] (Sues that ignore {{Canon}} depictions of character and often add random elements from other fantasy series, such as "ooh, it's Professor [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]], isn't he cute!")
42	* Dumbledore Explains It All - the inevitable post-climax InfoDump from everyone's favorite EccentricMentor. He even manages to give one in the final book, despite [[spoiler:being dead]]. (named after 90s teen sitcom ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'').
43	* The Three-Year Summer: the gap between the publication of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' (July 2000) and ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' (June 2003). Saw the growth of the Internet community, the rise of Pottermania to stratospheric levels, the release of the [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone first]] [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets two]] film adaptations, and a degree of CreatorBreakdown?
44	* AK-666: The Killing Curse, a.k.a. Avada Kedavra, after the famous AK-47 assault rifle.
45	* The Potterdämmerung: The release of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', and the anticipated and actual backlash resulting.
46	** See also the Harry Potter Summer, aka the summer of 2007, when both ''Deathly Hallows'' and the film of ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'' were released within two weeks of each other.
47	* Harmonians (or Harmoanians): derogatory term for Harry/Hermione shippers, anecdotally the most unhinged people/designated whipping boys in the fandom. To some fans this is ''specifically'' a derogatory term; a Harry/Hermione shipper who merely enjoys a non-canon couple is just called a "Harry/Hermione shipper", with "Harmonian" being reserved for those who take it to antisocial levels.
48	* [=McGoogles=]/Preacher [=McGongle=] for [=McGonagall=], Dumbly, Voldemint, Snap, Loopin, Serious Blak etc. - all from the incomparable ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''
49	* The Yule Brawl for the giant fight in Book IV after the Yule Ball, for the pun.
50	* ''[[VideoGame/GearsOfWar Gears of Hogwarts]]'': The ''[[VideoGame/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' game, after a trailer depicting it as something very much resembling a ThirdPersonShooter.
51	* The pimp cane: The snake-headed walking stick used by Lucius Malfoy in the movies (it's never been mentioned in the books).
52	** It's also called Snakey.
53	*** Lucius himself gets called Luscious.
54	* [[Franchise/PowerRangers Pink Power Granger]]: Hermione as seen in the third film, in which she wore a pink hoodie during the climax.
55	* The "blood quill": The bloodletting quill (a quill that doesn't use normal ink, but the writer's own blood as ink replacement. The text written with this quill also appears as a scar on the back of the writer's hand) which Umbridge forces Harry to write "I must not tell lies" with in the fifth book, due to its canon name (the Black Quill) not being revealed until some time into Pottermore.
56	* [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} The Scottish Book]]: Refers to Rowling mentioning that she might publish an "encyclopaedia" of the Potter universe, including information that didn't fit in to the books. Now looks less likely with the advent of the Pottermore website.
57	* The First Wizarding War and the Second Wizarding War: The wars against Voldemort, again due to the lack of canon names. The First Wizarding War is the war which occurred in the BackStory and ended when Voldemort failed to kill Harry as a baby. The Second Wizarding War is the war which occurs during the series, starting in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]'' and ending in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]''. Often Wiz War 1/2.
58	** Sometimes also known as Vold War I and Vold War II.
59	* After the release of the final film, Professor [=McBadass=] has become quite popular for Professor [=McGonagall=].
60	* Slytherfen: derogatory term for fans who think the Slytherins aren't as bad as the narrative voice paints them.
61	** There's also "Snapefen" for fans who are excessively devoted to Snape and paint him as the most important and/or worthwhile character in the series.
62	* "Wizard Hitler"/"Magic Hitler"/"Magical Hitler": Voldemort, for [[ANaziByAnyOtherName rather obvious reasons]].
63	** The comparison of Gellert Grindelwald to Hitler [[http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Gellert_Grindelwald#Behind_the_scenes seems also to hold water and is apparently very much intentional]]. In more than one fanfic his name is mentioned together with Hitler and other muggle dictators.
64	* "Werewolf [=McWerewolf=]" - [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Remus Lupin]], as a reference to his extremely on-the-nose MeaningfulName.
65	* The Spanish-speaking fandom has their own nicknames as well:
66	** Harry Potter has many of them: "Harry Petas" ("Petas" is a Spaniard slang for druggie), "Harry Puter" ("Puter" from ''Puto'', translated as ''fag'') and "Harry Plotter" (due to phonetics). There's also "Harry "[[Film/DirtyHarry el sucio]]" Potter".
67	** Voldemort is often mockingly called "Lord Valdomero" in Latin America, after his parody in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.
68	* In the Polish fandom, we have nicknames such as:
69	** Dumbledore: "Drops" ("Drop" as in "Lemon Drop", Dumbledore's TrademarkFavouriteFood in {{Fanon}}) or "Trzmiel" (literal translation of his name)
70	** Hermione Granger: "Wiewiórka" ("Squirrel")
71	** Severus Snape: "Nietoperz" ("Bat")
72	** Draco Malfoy: "Smok" ("Dragon")
73	** Blaise Zabini: "Diabeł" ("Devil")
74	* Durzkaban: The Dursley home from Harry's point of view, a combination of their last name and "Azkaban", the wizard jail surrounded by dementors.
