YMMV tropes present in the book:

  • Fridge Horror: The infamous Quidditch World Cup of 1473 broke every rule that has ever been written for Quidditch (all seven hundreds). Since the rules seen include "no murdering the referee" and "no decapitating a keeper with a broadsword", there is a disturbingly good chance that these rules were broken. And do any of the rules involve attacking the audience?
  • Moment of Awesome: Modesty Rabnott saving a Golden Snidget and releasing it back to get to the wild. She was fined and lost her house, but she still saved the snidget, went on to continue protesting the treatment of the poor creatures and set a precedent that persisted for over a century. They even named a nature reserve for her!
  • Paranoia Fuel: Dumbledore can't guarantee that he's removed all the anti-vandalism curses on this book, so treating it roughly may result in Madame Pince appearing in your home and demanding a heavy fine.
  • The Woobie: The Chudley Cannons have a laughably bad track record throughout their history, to the point where it's just kind of sad. Unsurprisingly, they're Ron's favorite team.
  • Woobie Species: The Golden Snidget nearly went extinct because wizards hunted them for sport and crushed them to death in nearly every Quidditch match.
