Line 23:
* [[Crapsack World]]: most of the world after the Death Eaters attack and kill the Queen.
* [[Downer Ending]]: Empire's Plight ends with the destruction of Fort Valour at the hands of Death Eaters and werewolves.
** Empire's End [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|ends with the destruction of the British Empire as the characters know it]].
* {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination]]: the Venati, beings from other universe that take to invade Earths from paralell universes and consume all lives within it.}}
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|the Venati are like the [[Warhammer 40 K40000|Tyranids]] in that they consume all life in any world they go to before going somewhere else to do the same, while changing their DNA to accept the best genes. The difference is that they travel between paralell Earths, lack the ability to travel into space (which is what saved the inhabitants of one Earth from total consumption) and [[It Got Worse|they are very intelligent]].}}
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: {{spoiler|Harry becomes a Human-Venati hybrid almost by accident, which allows him to have superhuman abilities. Later, several more people are grafted with Venati cells in order to make them more powerful (and in one case, help Harry become powerful enough to defeat the Prime Venati).}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: not so much as heroic, given that he has been behind many of the Empire's setbacks, including telling the Death Eaters about Imperial movements, but in the end Dumbledore accepts that the Empire was right and has himself grafted with unstable Venati cells so that Harry may absorb him and kill the Prime Venati.}}
Line 34:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Dumbledore's actions at attempting to preserve the statu quo only help the Death Eaters destroy the Empire and what he had wanted to protect.
* [[Right Hand Versus Left Hand]]: in the first part, what Dumbledore fears will happen if the Empire doesn't collaborate with what he does.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: {{spoiler|the Prime Venati that Harry fights and incapacitates attempts to destroy Earth as a way to deny humans victory. Harry manages to prevent it [[Just in Time]].}}
* [[Technology Porn]]: Marquis Black doesn't hold back when describing all the [[Magitek]] in the series, especially the [[Cool Airship|Project Archangel airships]].
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: {{spoiler|after Neville's death, Susan ends up absorbing him - well, she absorbs his soul and mind - and the two of them merge in Susan's mind. Her eyes end up as a mix between Neville's and Susan's, and when she speaks there seems to be a mix between their voices, too.}}
