Line 142:
** Even Tonks' [[Dojikko]] attributes can be considered [[Moe]] attributes.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** Snape seems to cross this when he {{spoiler|kills Dumbledore. Subverted in Deathly Hallows when it's revealed that it was an act of mercy since Dumbledore was dying very painfully, [[Mercy Kill|which Dumbledore himself arranges as part of his master plan]].}}
** Some would argue that Voldemort was evil from birth and that he crossedwas theborn Horizonon justthe by being bornHorizon. Others would say that it was crossed when he tortured the children in the cave as a boy, or when he killed somebody's rabbit, or when he made his first Horcrux. Or, y'know, killing Harry's parents and then trying to kill the infant Harry.
** Five possible ones for Bellatrix: When she, her husband, her brother-in-law, and Barty Jr. subject Neville's parents Frank and Alice to a [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: prolonged torture by the cruciatus curse, causing them to become insane, unrecognizable vegetables. It's even worse when you consider that they did it when Voldemort was gone.
*** {{spoiler|Killing Sirius Black.}}
*** {{spoiler|Stabbing Dobby to death.}}
*** {{spoiler|Pinning Hermione to the floor and carving the word "mudblood" into her arm while she's screaming!.}}
*** Mocking Molly Weasley for freaking out after {{spoiler|Fred is killed and Ginny almost meets the same fate by her hand!}} {{spoiler|Which soon causes her a [[Karmic Death]], courtesy of [[Almighty Mom]] Molly.}}
** While Barty Jr. joined the Death Eaters due to neglectful parenting, there's still the fact that he willingly took part in Bellatrix's [[Moral Event Horizon]], Alice and Frank's incurable insanity '''is''' on his head as much as Bellatrix's.
** For Lucius Malfoy, {{spoiler|placing Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny Weasley's cauldron, knowing exactly how powerful it was.}}
** Uncle Vernon spends a long time hovering towards it, but finally crosses it when he kicks Harry out of his home, knowing full well that this will likely lead to his death at Voldemort's hands. But by the end, he seems to have developed a grudging respect for Harry. This is averted in the film version, he just simply locks him in his room.
** ''Order of the Phoenix'' has Dolores Umbridge cross this when she {{spoiler|threatens to torture Harry Potter}} or when she pulls out the [[Fan Nickname|Blood Quill]].
* [[Never Live It Down]]: The whole "Ginny is a slut" meme, despite her having only dated three men in her entire life. Each relationship lasting more or less a year. Made worse by how it not only involves slutshaming, but also [[Die for Our Ship]]. As well as a good deal of hypocrisy, considering that Hermione also had more than one beau aside of Ginny's brother Ron, [[Double Standard|but she's not slutshamed for it.]]
Line 177:
** Also played straight in ''Half Blood Prince'' if 1) on the night of the book's release, one happened to glance at the Table of Contents because one was curious as to how long the book was going to be, since Rowling had said it wasn't going to be as long as ''Order of the Phoenix'', 2) one then saw before they could look away that the final chapter was called, "The White Tomb", and 3) one had read enough books about Harry Potter and its sources and inspirations to know that "Albus" is Latin for "White". Why the combination of all 3 could cause a fan to curse aloud in frustration, since before reading a single word of the story, they now already knew who was going to die in Book 6 (even if they didn't know who [[It Was His Sled|kills]] [[Memetic Mutation|him]]).
* [[Squick]]: Several scenes imply Umbridge has a crush on Fudge, though it's likely she'd show similar signs of affection for any reigning minister.
* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: In some peoples' viewpoints, Harry and Ginny. See Broken Base.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Many, actually. See the [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Tear Jerker|page.]]
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: A Lot of people were hoping that Neville would get to avenge his parents in a fight against Bellatrix.
