Ensemble Darkhorse/Literature: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

* ''[[Harry Potter]]'':

**** It eats one of Harry's unwanted pieces of toast in ''The Goblet of Fire''.

***** And [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|saves]] [[Pet the Dog|Dennis Creevey!]]

** Professor McGonagall gets this as well. Originally introduced as a typical [[Stern Teacher]], her hilarious comments during Quidditch matches, loyalty to Dumbledore {{spoiler|and Harry, especially in the fifth and seventh books}}, as well as a few stunning feats of magic during the Battle of Hogwarts, she's becoming synonymous with [[Cool Old Lady]].

** The Weasley Twins, Fred and George, mainly because they are the living example of [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] (which is also ''very'' necessary, as the books get so much darker as the series progressed).

** Snowtuft and Shredtail, who died before their first appearance, mostly because [[Evil Is Cool]].

** Onestar is a strange variation of this. Back when he was a warrior in the [[Warrior Cats the Original Series|first arc]], he was definitely an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]. But in [[Warrior Cats the New Prophecy|the second arc]] he takes a level in jerkass and by the [[Warrior Cats Power of Three|third arc]] he became a [[The Scrappy|scrappy]].

** Hawkfrost is quite a Darkhorse. Despite only being Tigerstar's [[The Dragon|dragon]] and serving a mere lackey role in the arcs after ''[[The New Prophecy]]'' he remains one of the most popular villains and is directly featured in the "games" on [[Warriors Wish]].

** Hazeltail, a background character who has done exactly nothing in the series is very popular on the [[Warriors Official Forum]] and ranks very high on all the polls for the fanbase's preferred new ThunderClan leader.
