Line 27:
* [[Cassandra Truth]]- An interesting inversion when Harry calls the police for help. Rather than try to tell the 911 operator about the "magic" or anything, he just explains that his aunt and uncle are abusing him, managing to sound completely realistic. [[Police Are Useless|Of course, the operator still doesn't believe him]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]- "Because it's magic, Harry!" Especially in Episode 3.
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]- [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Dumbledore:
{{quote|'''Professor McGonagall:''' You mean their son's an orphan?!
'''Dumbledore:''' Yes, ''just like every other main character from every other fantasy series ever''! }}
Line 46:
'''Harry:''' A porcupine in a sweater.
'''Ron:''' No, silly, it's a letter for me! }}
* [[Evil Plan]]- Voldemort has had a few, ranging from throwing Harry off of his broomstick while he's playing Quidditch (which was seriously from the original book. What the heck?!) to sneak attacking him from a distance. Harry [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] the lameness of the latter plan in episode 15.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]] / [[You Can't Fight Fate]] - Future!Harry attempts to use the Time-Turner to warn his past self about Scabbars, even going as far as to yell "Scabbars is Peter Pettigrew!" at him, but Present!Harry doesn't think anything of it, assuming it's just [[A Wizard Did It|some weird magical]] thing as usual.
* [[False Dichotomy]]- Harry asks if Cho if she is a Gryffindor or Slytherin. He doesn't take [[Hufflepuff House|Ravenclaw]] for an answer.
Line 74:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]- Ron, which gets in the way when they're trying to be sneaky in episode 12.
* [[No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus]]- Averted in the Christmas Special, in which Ron states that Jesus was a normal wizard, to the shock of Harry, Hermione, and {{spoiler|Aberforth}} Dumbledore. Harry claims that Ron offended everyone, ''not just Christians'', ''everyone''.
* [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]- Invoked at least twice. Once when the Chamber of Secrets opens for random sounds (like in Deathly Hallows) and once when Ron thinks the sleeping Lupin might be dead (in the parallel scene from Prisoner of Azkaban).
* [[Noodle Incident]] - Getting past Fluffy (twice!) and the "forcefield rule" are never explained or mentioned again.
* [[Once Per Episode]]- Ron asks Harry if he's enjoying his breakfast.
** And in Chamber Pot of Secrets we have Ron singing only to be interrupted by Harry saying "Stop singing," to which Ron immediately replies "Can I hum it?"
*** And Dumbledore coming out of strange hiding places.
* [[One of Us]]- The [[Idiot Ball]] and [[Villain Ball]] are actual items which make the person holding them stupid and villainous respectively.
* [[Only Sane Man]] Harry is one in this
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]- Happens when Ron takes offense at Malfoy calling Hermione a Mudblood in Chamber Pot episode 6, which would be in-character in the original book, but Ron acts completely different in the parody. This is immediately lampshaded.
* [[Overly Long Gag]] - In Prisoner of Azkatraz, every time someone says "Sirius Black," ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'' music plays. Lampshaded by Harry in the last episode, where he gets fed up with it.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]- Harry and Ron's Polyjuice Potion disguises.
* [[Parody Episode]]- Episode 11, in which Harry visits [[Charlie the Unicorn|Candy Mountain]].
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]- Neville.
Line 95:
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]] - {{spoiler|The Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers.}} Also implied for other Hogwarts staff, the Muggles/copy-paste Hogwarts students, and Harry.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]- Snape, who actually dangles Harry over a boiling cauldron with a rope. Dumbledore comes into the room and, of course, notices nothing out of place.
* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]] - Regardless of whether or not they're in class, students perpetually wear these, even to ''bed at night''. The only exception is when they're outside of Hogwarts.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]- [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] with the Mirror of Desire Backwards.
* [[Self-Deprecation]] - The characters frequently make cracks about how their series is so obscure and more people watch [[Potter Puppet Pals]].
