Yeah, that's grasping at straws big time.
Hesitating before saving Cedric doesn't make Harry an asshole, it's makes him more realistic. And while the second one has some merit, I don't think it justifies leaving the example, at least without additional examples of Harry being nicer in the films than the book. (I don't remember shit from the books, so I can't say.)
It's kinda funny that the worst they could find for Harry is that he "didn't save someone so quickly"; that's still heroics, it's not like he just left Cedric to die.

HighCrate agrees to remove them.
Reminds me of when I saw the same character being listed under Adaptational Villainy and Adaptational Heroism at the same time for different minor changes. Pretty sure that's not what any of these tropes are for.
Remove those. By the way, I see similar staff all the time on MCU character pages.
A few days ago, I deleted this tropes from Harry Potter's character page:
I deleted them because not only because these tropes are mutually exclusive, they only describe small moments in the movie series and they don't define Harry's entire character in the movie series. Healthyfan89 added them back, saying that "they do fit harry in the adaptation sense. yes, it wasn't too overt so it's downplayed instead of played straight but it's still worth noting given he initially hesitated to save cedric and even admitted to thinking about leaving him (something that didn't cross his mind in the books); plus part of the reason his relationship with cho felled in the books was because of his insensitivity and No Sympathy attitude (with said relationship being more smooth in the films). So, while both are downplayed examples, they still fit."
What should we do about this?
