* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Harry is hated because his fellow students think he's attacking them.
* [[Are You Sure You Can Drive This Thing?]] "No, but we're far too anxious to consider another plan."
* [[Artistic License Animal Care]]: The kids feed a ''dog'' fudge. (Then again, he's a wizard's dog.)
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
*** And Dobby had no trouble intercepting Ron's and Hermione's owls to Harry; he could have intercepted Hedwig too.
* [[Disappointed in You]]: Dumbledore and McGonagall to Harry after he flies the car to Hogwarts.
* [[Disney Death]]: Ginny Weasley gets one in the Chamber of Secretshere.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: See what this sounds like: {{spoiler|An eleven-year-old girl exchanges messages with a seemingly sympathetic older stranger she has never met in real life. It's so easy! She enters her thoughts and he immediately transmits back. She confides in him, but he's really using her and preying on her insecurities. He makes her do horrible things for him which she doesn't want to do, but she still doesn't tell anyone. Finally, he meets her in person and ''nearly kills her''. [[The Hero|Harry]] has to [[Rescue Romance|save Ginny]] by going into a '''chamber of secrets''' and fighting a '''giant snake''' that belongs to a very weird, much older guy that's been corrupting Ginny for the whole book. With a legendary sword that holds strange powers. Uh-''huhAfter she's been rescued, her father chides her for not knowing better than to trust someone like that.}} [[Word of God]] states that it wasn't intentional, but acknowledges that the analogy disturbingly works.
* [[Do Wrong Right]]: Arthur Weasley is far more pleased than his wife when his sons steal his flying car and use it to pick up Harry.
* [[Enemy Within]]/[[The Killer in Me]]: {{spoiler|Poor Ginny.}}
Line 99 ⟶ 100:
* [[Motive Misidentification]]: {{spoiler|While Tom certainly didn't ''mind'' using the Basilisk on Muggle-borns, he was less interested in "purging the school" and more in trying to bait Harry.}}
* [[Narm]]: Invoked with [[Word of God|the twins']] valentine to Harry. Fred and George continually tease him with it and Peeves [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix|adds a dance routine]].
* [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity]]: Lockhart is very happy when a fight breaks out at a book signing for his latest book.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: Harry and Ron use Polyjuice potion to imitate Crabbe and Goyle, Draco Malfoy's two mooks, in the hopes of getting Draco to admit that he's the heir of Slytherin, and thus the cause of all the shenanigans happening at Hogwarts that year. Instead, they hear Draco ranting about how thrilled he is that it's happening and how he'd love to congratulate whoever is ''actually'' behind it.
* [[Orifice Evacuation]]: Slug-puking spell.
