Line 23:
'''Prof. Trelawney:''' It is Uranus, my dear. A very important celestial body.
'''Ron:''' Can I too have a look at Lavender's body? }}
** Which would make it a [[Brick Joke]], as in ''Half -Blood Prince'', {{spoiler|he totally does.}}
*** And the French translation changes it to the Moon. "Can I see your moon too, Lavender?" This does have the same connotations as the term "mooning" in English.
*** The Danish translation goes somewhat like this, with Ron's comment laden with Innuendo, since 'end' can be understood as ass as well.
Line 76:
* In [[Prisoner of Azkaban]], the security trolls assigned to guard Gryffindor Tower are described as "comparing the size of their clubs".
* On at least one occasion, the slang term "berk" is used, the shortened Cockney Rhyming Slang for "Berkley Hunt". [[Country Matters|Guess what it rhymes with.]]
* In ''Half -Blood Prince'', after Christmas, the password to Gryffindor Tower is changed to 'Abstinence'. The chapter before had Ron admitting that he and Lavender "don't talk much. It's mainly..." "Snogging." Though, 'abstinence' doesn't simply refer to not having sex. It can also mean refraining from drinking liquor, which is ironic, given that half the time she has page-time, the Fat Lady is drunk, and in that scene, the Fat Lady is massively hungover.
** It could also mean that the Fat Lady herself did something that she regretted, and decided to use that password as a reminder to lay off the booze.
* [http://www.cracked.com/article_19397_the-5-most-depraved-sex-scenes-implied-by-harry-potter_p1.html Cracked.com did an article] about the most depraved sex scenes ''implied'' in the series.
* In [[HalfHarry Potter/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Book 6]], Harry and his friends visit Fred and Georges' new shop. One of the products on sale is a magical daydream-creator, guaranteed to put the user into a hallucination to pass the time during class. There's a label stating that these are not for sale to anybody below sixteen. ''Wow'', Mrs. Rowling. Everybody knows what 16-year -olds will be daydreaming about...[[If You Know What I Mean]]. ''Real'' subtle.
** What's more, the picture on the cover of the daydream creator box was of a handsome man and a swooning beautiful woman on a sailing ship.
** Keep in mind that this is basically a drug with a more family friendly name. Also, as the Cracked article above points out, ''Amortentia'', Love Potion, is, essentially, a magical date-rape drug. [[Fridge Horror|They distribute this]] ''[[Fridge Horror|openly]]''.
