* The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series has its own page for [[Chekhov's Gun]] and its various [[Sub Tropes]], so this comes up a few times.
** ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''.: {{spoiler|Professor Quirrel}}.
** ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'': {{spoiler|Tom Riddle}}, who gets double points for who he really is. Come now, reading the book for the first time, who ever seriously suspected {{spoiler|Riddle}} of doing anything? Let alone of {{spoiler|being the younger form of Lord Voldemort himself}}.
** ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'': {{spoiler|Scabbers, Ron's pet rat}}. Of course, he's actually {{spoiler|Peter Pettigrew in Animagus form}}.
** ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'': {{spoiler|Mad-Eye Moody}} can count, as the reveal that not only was he responsible for everything that happened in the book, but that he was also {{spoiler|Barty Crouch Jr in disguise}} was rather sudden.
*** These became so expected that Rowling ended up adding a page to her website's FAQ where she asked readers not to assume that EVERY''every'' named character in the series had a world-exploding secret. In particular, fans had fixated on a random muggle kid who appears at the beginning of book five, with many emailing Rowling and saying they had "figured out" that he was the true key to the entire storyline. In reality, he was just a random muggle kid who was never seen again.
* In the second book of the ''[[Foundation]]'' trilogy it is revealed that the Mule is {{spoiler|Magnifico the clown}}.
* In ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', the masterminds of Deep Thought's experiment were the lab mice that humans thought they were experimenting on.
* In the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] series ''[[New Jedi Order]]'', an evil alien race called the Yuuzhan Vong invades. Their leader is [[Evil Overlord|Supreme Overlord]] Shimrra, a God-King who truly looks the part. The last novel in the series reveals that {{spoiler|he is actually being force controlled by his jester, Onimi}}, a being so far below Shimrra that he was considered as little more than a pet.
