Harry Potter/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire/YMMV|Goblet of Fire]]

* [[Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix/YMMV|Order of the Phoenix]]

* [[Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them/YMMV|Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them]]

* [[Quidditch Through the Ages/YMMV|Quidditch Through the Ages]]

** ''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.]]

* [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity]]: In real life, Harry Potter got publicity just for being banned in some places for promoting witchcraft.

* [[Older Than They Think]]: The success of ''[[Harry Potter]]'' led some publishing houses to issue re-prints of already existing books about kids with magical powers. Many people thought that these books were riding on the coattails of and/or "ripping off" ''Harry Potter'', when rather these books were years (or decades) older than the first ''Harry Potter'' book. Some people who had never read a fantasy novel before ''Harry Potter'' think that the series is actually the [[Trope Maker]] for many of the tropes contained in the books. Though, the series ''was'' the [[Trope Codifier]] of many of the already-made tropes, so people can hardly be blamed for not being as well-read in obscure works as Rowling was.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|Fred, Remus Lupin, Tonks, Sirius Black, Mad-Eye, and Dumbledore.}}

** One reason to never take {{spoiler|Cedric's death}} seriously ever again: ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]''. Seriously, try watching it without thinking "YOU'RE SUCH A SPARE!!!". At the same time, Voldemort's resurrection will never be scary again because of that damn musical. '''"TO DANCE AGAAAAAAAAIIIINNN!!!!!!'''

* [[Ho Yay]]:

** The movie of ''Deathly Hallows'' actually downplays a (possibly one-sided) gay relationship present in the book between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, rendering it no more than [[Ho Yay]].
