Line 15:
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: When Gruoch and Pansy take Harry for his LASIK surgery, Gruoch pretends to be his mother in an over-the-top performance complete with [[Tastes Like Diabetes|excessively cutesy pet names for him]].
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: An arrangement between Draco and Pansy seems to have simply been assumed by the Malfoys, and because of the implicit threat of retaliation (even before Voldemort's resurrection), the Parkinsons chose not to challenge it openly. (Although Pansy's father Malcom did give Pansy the glamour spell that she used to minimize Draco's interest in her.) It was an explicit demand to formalize an arrangement with a great deal of publicity (in part to serve as a distraction from something unspecified that Voldemort wanted to accomplish) that triggered the falling out between Lucius and Malcom which leads to Voldemort turning on the Parkinsons at the start of the story. Malcom then averts the trope when he apologizes for just the possibility of an arrangement with Malfoy and promises to let her make her own decision who to marry.
* [[Artistic License Nuclear Physics]]: Hermione, who really should know better, describes nuclear bombs as "killing everyone in a fifty-mile radius". That would be a bomb at least a several orders of magnitude larger than the largest nuclear bomb ever made.
* [[Aura Vision]]: Harry compares one of his first "super" abilities to this, although it isn't quite the same thing.
* [[Badass]]: Both Pansy and Harry after their training.
