* The ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' novel ''Desert Raiders'' uses the first paragraph of the book in its epilogue to show that a Tallarn regiment had [[Timey-Wimey Ball|traveled back in time]] through the Warp to create the very incident they were supposed to be investigating.
* Near the climax of Inheritance, Eragon impales {{spoiler|Galbatorix}} on his sword, much like he did {{spoiler|Durza}} at the end of the first book. The phrasing itself is nearly identical.
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'': {{spoiler|Voldemort dies as a spell intended to kill [[Harry Potter]] backfires.}} Now are we talking about ''Philosophers Stone'' or ''Deathly Hallows''?
** Then, after a years-long timeskip, {{spoiler|young Potter leaves to attend the same school as his parents.}}
** ''Harry Potter Andand Thethe Philosopher's Stone'', Ron to Hermione, "ARE YOU A WITCH, OR WHAT?!", during the buildup to the climax. ''Harry Potter Andand Thethe Deathly Hallows'', Hermione to Ron, "ARE YOU A WIZARD, OR WHAT?!", during the buildup to the climax.

** ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' begins with a lot of owls giving post to Harry. It ends with more owl post for Harry (and a bit for Ron). The chapters are even called "Owl Post" and "Owl Post Again."
** Ginny Weasley's first appearance in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' has her at Platform 9 3/4 begging her mother to allow her to go to Hogwarts. Her last appearance has {{spoiler|has her at Platform 9 3/4 with her own daughter begging her to allow her to go to Hogwarts}}
** Also literally: if you look at the American first-edition book covers for Sorcerer's Stone and Deathly Hallows, they've both got curtains surrounding the images, for beginning act and ending act.
* ''[[Watership Down]]'' opens with "The primroses were over," and ends with "where the first primroses were beginning to bloom."
