Line 95:
** Also getting caught by Filch or Ms Norris in the PC version of Sorceror's Stone. More bizarre, perhaps, is that getting caught by Snape (or any prefect) in the sneaking sections of its GBA cousin will only lose you some points and force you to restart the area.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: When Harry fights the basilisk in the second game.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The voice actors have changed a lot. For the first four games, Harry's voice actor changed with each game. Eventually, they settled on ''[[Grange Hill]]'''s Adam Sopp, who proved to be a very convincing sound-alike for [[Daniel Radcliffe]]. They could never seem to settle on a good voice actress for Hermione and so her voice changed constantly. In the case of Ron, Draco, and several other student characters, they eventually got the realfilm actors ([[Rupert Grint]], [[Tom Felton]], etc.) to do the voices for the games. Interestingly, they managed to get Ralph Fiennes to do Voldemort's voice for the fourth and fifth games, but had to settle for Rupert Degas on the ''Hallows'' game. However, McGonagall is voiced through the whole game series by Ève Karpf, who manages to sound remarkably like Dame Maggie Smith. Likewise, Allan Corduner did Filch's voice in all his game appearance. He also did a passable Snape in the early games, but for some reason got replaced by someone with a worse-sounding Snape voice. And it can't have been because Corduner wasn't available since he was still doing Filch's voice.
* [[Player Character]]: You play as Harry, for the most part. In the third and fourth games, you play as Ron or Hermione at some points, but it's still mostly Harry. For the fifth game onward, you're Harry almost all the time and only play as other characters when they had a big action-y scene in the canon. For example, you get to be the Weasley twins when they escape Umbridge and Dumbledore when he fights Voldemort.
* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: In the second game, the character known in the books and films as "The Fat Lady" is instead called "The Pink Lady". Possibly [[Lampshaded]] in the fifth game, in which she is outraged at being called "The Fat Lady".
** Also, Ron's line after the Ford Anglia leaves for the Forbidden Forest in the book and film are respectively "Dad'll kill me" and "Dad's gonna kill me". In the game, it becomes "Great. My dad won't be happy that I lost his flying car." You know, in case people might [[Viewers are Morons|get confused]] and think Ron's father would actually kill him.
* [[Record Needle Scratch]]: Used in the ''[[Half -Blood Prince]]'' game when Harry and Ginny start to have a "moment", but then Ginny mentions she's going to Hogsmeade with Dean. [[Mood Whiplash|Yes, really.]]
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Peeves, oddly enough since he wasn't in the films. Also a gargoyle boss makes various appearances in the Chamber of Secrets console game.
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]:
