Line 40:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Dumbledore. Although this is well known in the previous books, this is the book where he truly confirms it, as it's the first time he appears in combat when he battles with Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic.
** Voldemort, nearly seventy, holds his own against Dumbledore until the arrival of the Ministry.
*** Voldy had recently recreated his body, so his physical age was debatable at this point.
* [[Battle-Interrupting Shout]]: When Snape and Sirius are on the verge of dueling, Harry places himself between them, which makes little difference until the Weasley family walks in.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Voldemort luring Harry to the Department of Mysteries by making it seem that Sirius was in danger. {{spoiler|1=He first attempted to lure him there by simply showing him the DoM and the Hall of Prophecy, counting on Harry's natural curiosity, but Harry had no idea there ''was'' a prophecy about him in the first place.}}
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
* [[Combat Sadomasochist]]: Bellatrix.
* [[Commander Contrarian]]: Zacharias Smith.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Dolores Umbridge {{spoiler|being (possibly) [http://www.cracked.com/article_19397_the-5-most-depraved-sex-scenes-implied-by-harry-potter.html gang-raped by the Centaurs] in the Forbidden Forest}} should qualify. Also a case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
* [[Cool Teacher]]: Harry.
* [[Corporal Punishment]]: Umbridge does not hesitate to use it on "problematic" students... to the tune of [[Writing Lines]] with a quill that ''carves the words into their hand and uses their own blood as ink''.
