* [[Bowdlerise]]: A very unfortunate one for the Spanish translation. The [[Moment of Awesome|incredibly awesome as hell]] Molly Weasley's [[Precision F-Strike]] got treated this way, from "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" to "Not my daughter, you bad witch!".<ref>Rises from the use of "witch" as an insult, which makes no sense in a world where every female magic user is called a witch.</ref> |

* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Played with with Dumbledore, {{spoiler|when Harry realises that not only did he make a huge number of mistakes in his past and that he was not the perfect wizard he idolised, but that he was sacrificing Harry to kill Voldemort without even discussing it with him}}. And inverted with Snape, {{spoiler|who he originally thought of as this horrible person he hated, but after realising the lengths he went to in order to protect him - to the point of infiltrating Voldemort's inner circle and dying for him - thinks radically differently}}. |

* [[Bug-Out]]: Ron, Hermione and Harry's escape from incoming Death Eaters at the end of Bill and Fleur's wedding is a classic Bug-Out. Hermione even has a bug-out bag on her, although she'd failed to properly stock it with all the supplies they'd need. |

* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]: Ron walks out on Harry and Hermione. His return, just in time to save Harry, is a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. |

* [[Call Back]]: Doubles as [[Book Ends]]. In ''[[Philosopher's Stone]]'', Hagrid takes Harry to #4 Privet Drive for the first time... in Sirius Black's flying motorbike. Guess how Harry leaves forever at the beginning of this book. |
