Lets Try Again Ao3 Harry Potter

Then mayhap everything didn't piece of work out perfectly for Harry. Still, almost of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was most to go a begetter. If just he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything again.

Oh God Non Again! is a Harry Potter fanfiction past Sarah1281, ao3 link here. An adult Harry gets sent back in time and makes it his goal in life to save as many lives from Voldemort every bit he tin. Okay, that'due south a lie, actually. Not to say he doesn't practice that, but he spends most of his time enjoying himself and wreaking as much havoc as possible. Also an Affectionate Parody, and then people and events are looked at and discussed from a unlike perspective when deemed appropriate. Or funny.

Non to be dislocated with the trope Oh, No... Not Again!

---

This fanfic provides examples of:

• Adults Are Useless: The adults are more useless than usual, but mainly because they don't have knowledge from the futurity. Harry does sometimes become them involved on purpose when they can assistance, such as going direct to Dumbledore when Hagrid gets Norbert.
• All Therapists Are Muggles: Harry remembers that this was a problem for Cho Chang in recovering from Cedric's death. She needed therapy, only had to edit her story because in that location weren't any wizarding therapists.
• Always Second Best: As Harry miserably notes, Gryffindor will never lose the Firm Cup every bit long equally he is at Hogwarts because he is Dumbledore's favorite student, making every other business firm this by default. The only twelvemonth where this is justified as not due to Dumbledore'southward favoritism is Third Yr, where the error lies on Sirius for giving l points to whoever called Voldemort ... well, "Voldemort". Gryffindor, existence the Firm of the Brave and all, was the one who had the biggest advantage — even Ron, i of the few Gryffindors who had issues saying the proper noun, stopped flinching upon hearing information technology past Christmas. That didn't cease Harry from beingness stubborn and fugitive maxim the name himself (unfortunately for him, he slipped up at the Finish of the Year Feast and was promptly awarded last-minute points).
  • Otherwise, Draco notes that Hufflepuff is lucky to go a win occasionally, Slytherin tends to exist consistently top ii but may drop if someone goes too far with a prank, Gryffindor is as well up in that location with Slytherin and their fall to 3rd place hinges on if someone messes up spectacularly, while Ravenclaw is usually second or third and sometimes wins through consistency. He too notes that it's unfair for Hufflepuff as being responsible is expected of them and thus tends to reduce their chances of winning points.
• Anachronism Stew: A one-off example; Harry declares that Lockhart's favorite color is "Famous (formerly, Hot Magenta)". The author explains in the end-note that Crayola didn't rename that crayon until 2008, just she thought it was just too good to decline.
• Artifact of Attraction: Sirius starts to put on the Slytherin Horcrux ring despite Harry warning him that it would kill him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "Sirius, if you put that on, so Snape volition accept to save your life. SNAPE."
• Artistic License – History: Used for Dominion of Funny. When doing Lockhart's quiz, Harry answers "Famous (formerly Hot Magenta)" for Lockhart'southward favorite color. The writer notes that Crayola didn't change the proper noun until 2008, but thought the opportunity was besides good to reject.
• Artistic License – Law: When Sirius's innocence is inevitably proven, Harry browbeats Fudge (who is conveniently right in that location) into issuing the official pardon immediately. Legal pardons in the United kingdom are issued only to those who are "morally innocent" — i.e, people who are definitely legally guilty of the crime, but take been judged non to have washed anything actually wrong. Cases like Sirius'due south would exist handled past a dissimilar process — given that he was imprisoned without a trial and therefore was probably never actually convicted of any law-breaking, Fudge could have simply rescinded the club for his abort.
• Attending Whore: This time, the claims that Harry enjoys his fame and seeks out attention are absolutely true. Partially so he can make money off of his celebrity condition and put that coin to good use, and partially because, well ... it'southward fun.
• Badass Teacher: Sirius takes over as the History of Magic teacher. The badass role comes with the package.
• Bad Liar: When Ron wonders where Ginny got the extra money she was spending on school supplies (which she got from her cutting of a less-than-accurate volume by Lockhart), she freaks out and demands to know if he'due south implying she stole it. Harry thinks to himself that the Weasleys were raised to be honest.
• Batman Gambit: A couple times, Harry gets what he wants by playing on the reactions of others. In some cases, he already knows what their reactions will be, considering he's lived this twenty-four hours earlier, while other times, he just knows them well enough to guess.
• Across the Impossible: Draco notes the ridiculously high point totals during Harry'southward Third Year, which is promptly blamed on Sirius for giving points out "like candy".
• Big "NO!": Fred and George when they see the Quidditch field is at present a hedge and Harry at one of the times Hermione wins l points after he dedicated himself to losing the House Cup.
• Bitch in Sheep's Vesture: Harry is much more than of a Cloud Cuckoolander this fourth dimension circular, causing the general population to view him as somewhere between batshit insane and just full of it, but he's — commonly — a nice guy, employing Dumbledore's tactics of destroying his foes through politeness and snark. Sometimes, though, he strays right into Magnificent Bowwow territory:

  Pansy: [Afterward Rita Skeeter's Pentawizard Playoffs article] Stunningly pretty? GRANGER? What was she judged against — a chipmunk?
  Harry: I wouldn't talk if I were yous, Pansy. Seeing as I heard you came in third.

• Blatant Lies: Used by Harry when a Sarcastic Confession just won't cut it, or when he feels like it.
  • Invoked in 1 case:

    Molly: This is much better gossip than last twelvemonth'due south 'Albus Dumbledore was madly in dearest with Gellert Grindelwald.' Honestly, you'd think Rita Skeeter would learn to stop making up such sensational stories. Obviously Dumbledore was struck speechless by the blatant lies and thus couldn't be bothered to deny information technology.

  • "How do you know that?" "My psychic scar told me."
  • Also, this exchange is Breathy Lies for the Hogwarts personnel present as well equally Harry and Sirius:

    Snape: Is there a reason you felt the need to go running off on a suicidal rescue mission without informing a responsible developed, first?
    Harry: I did go a responsible developed. Professor Lockhart is a Hogwarts Professor and surely Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have hired him if he didn't have complete faith in him.

• Built-in Lucky: Harry gives this impression to those around him, since everything seems to work out for him. Of course, he has an unfair reward they don't know about ...
• Breather Episode: Nothing important happens in Harry's new third year, only the writer didn't desire to skip over it entirely. It generally covers the constituent classes.
• Broken Pedestal: Although Harry however patently respects Dumbledore and tries to maintain something of their old relationship, it'south also clear that he's aware of just how fallible Dumbledore is and how many mistakes the quondam man has made.
• The Caligula: Parodied with Neville'south Boggart, which is Harry every bit Government minister for Magic in this timeline instead of Snape. Since this is a humor fic, Minister-Harry is less "feed people to lions because he's bored" and more "ban Monday because information technology's too depressing and let people pay to non register as Animagi".
• Cannon Fodder: How the Sorting Lid describes the Gryffindors.
• Casual Danger Dialog: Harry uses this (forth with a great deal of sarcasm) every time he and Voldemort have a showdown.

  Voldemort: Y'all take been taught how to duel, Harry Potter?
  Harry: I've been taught to drop my wand and summon snakes. Our dueling club was kind of substandard.

• Cassandra Truth: Run across Blatant Lies. Though, in this example, it's unknown whether Rita managed to piece this together through other sources or if she was merely making things up after somehow learning about Dumbledore and Grindelwald'due south friendship and accidentally hit the mark full on.
• Chickification: Inverted, but not to the extent of Xenafication. Fleur does considerably better in the Triwizard Tournament. Word of God (God for this universe, not Rowling) says that this is because the reasons for her lowered points in catechism (attacked by Grindylows, the dragon breathing fire on her) were chance events not likely to be repeated.
• Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Ginny was quite put out past the lack of heroics involved in Harry's defeat of the basilisk.
• Consulting Mister Puppet: How people react to Harry talking near his scar. Made more than explicit when a frustrated Hermione asks if she should say "sorry" for doubting Harry's scar's "predictions", and Harry inclines his head equally though pretending to consult with the scar before answering that the scar says an apology would be prissy.
• Continuity Nod: Occasionally, mention will exist made of past events.
  • Harry gets Hermione a re-create of Hogwarts: A History for Christmas in commencement year. In second year he mentions this when he asks her why she wants to infringe a copy from the library.

• Dead Guy Junior: In the original timeline, Harry had a new owl named "Hedwig Jr", after his previous owl who died in Deathly Hallows.
• Deathbringer the Ambrosial: Averted, much to Harry's dislike. In the original timeline, he and Ginny got a rabbit, and she refused to accept his name proffer of "Mega Ultra Flame Deathsman", instead going with a more than standard "Flopsy".
• Death by Adaptation: Mrs. Norris ends up killed past the basilisk during second year.
• Deconstruction Fic: An affectionate, Deconstructive Parody using the Peggy Sue framework. Lampshades hung, inconsistencies trounced flat, and characters attacked at angles that reveal new aspects. And it has a ball doing it.
• A Domestic dog Ate My Homework: One of the papers Lupin tries to grade was chewed up by the textbook Hagrid assigned.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": Merely three people are allowed to call Tonks past her birth name Nymphadora. Two of them are Charlie and Cedric because she lost a bet to each of them (and doesn't brand such bets anymore). Remus tin phone call her that also, though the significance of it escapes him at starting time.
• Double Standard: Neville points out to Hermione that attributing their obsession with Quidditch to their gender could exist considered sexist.

• Emo Teen: Harry accuses Diary!Riddle of being one. So does Sirius, for that matter.
• Everybody Knew Already: About dragons existence the offset task in the Pentawizard Playoffs. Bagman is not pleased that "the champions (and George) all spectacularly failed to react":

  Bagman [Annoyed]: Oh come up on,you lot could at least pretend to be surprised!
  Harry [Obliging]: Gosh, this has got to be the well-nigh unexpected upshot I've ever encountered! Dragons? I don't think I've even seen a dragon!
  Cedric: That's a little over-the-top, don't you think?
  Harry: I'm reacting for half-dozen people here; take it or exit it.

• Everyone Can See It: Ron acts shocked at the idea of asking Hermione to the Yule Ball. Harry and Neville signal out how obvious his crush on her is.
• Exact Words: Dobby jinxes the Bludger to go after Harry in second twelvemonth despite Harry having gotten Draco to make Dobby promise not to salve Harry's life.

  Harry: Wait... Didn't Draco order you not to endeavor to salvage my life or to try and bulldoze me from the castle?
  Dobby: (looking downright mischievous) Dobby wasn't trying to save the Great Harry Potter's life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter's arm.

• Fantastic Racism:
  • At one bespeak, information technology'due south shown that even the Weasleys aren't completely immune to the pureblood mentality when Ron mentions they never talk about their second cousin who's a Squib (and an accountant). Harry notes that it'south to Ron'due south credit that he doesn't grasp why the cousin is an outcast and that he's invoking this trope unintentionally.
  • Parodied when Luna asks Snape if he is a "living-ist" — someone who prejudges based on whether a person is dead or alive.
• Fiction 500: Harry exploits his fame and knowledge of the futurity to open up up several business organisation ventures over the course of the fic, and as a outcome he's able to buy basically annihilation he wants.
• Foreshadowing: A subtle inkling to who Barty Hunker Jr. is impersonating this time around happens when Percy offers Crouch Sr. a beverage at the quidditch loving cup. Mr Crouch declines because he has brought his own drink before taking a sip from his flask.
• Fun with Acronyms: Hermione's business firm-elf rights organization becomes SHOE: Southtop Hurting Our Elves.
• Gender Bender: When a certain trickster gets into the History of Magic mail service, he warns that this might be one of the random "amusing" results of falling asleep in class.
• Genius Ditz: Lockhart is withal incompetent as a teacher, but Harry admits he's a genius when information technology comes to anything dealing with the media.
• Good Matter You lot Can Heal: Or at to the lowest degree, Skillful Thing Y'all Can Become Healed.

  Sphinx: Correct. Do not worry, though, as I am non permitted to kill you lot. That said, Healers can work all sorts of miracles these days.

• Grammar Nazi: Harry trademarked SPEW for his Grammar Nazi organization 'Stop People Abusing Words.' He chose to spell 'Abusing' with an E to be ironic (and make information technology fit the acronym).
• Handwave: How Harry goes back in time is barely explained and goes against canon, just the setup barely matters.
• Difficult Truth Aesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic form the story of Voldemort'southward parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavender suggests, "Don't presume the guy you're feeding love potions is in beloved with yous and stop."
• Hard Work Hardly Works: Draco points out that Hufflepuff never comes out alee because working hard is such an ingrained, defining trait of theirs. "What are they going to do? Practice exactly what they're supposed to exercise MORE?"
• Harmful to Minors: Neville kills Quirrell in the Bedchamber of Philosopher's Rock and is understandably shaken by it. Albus and Harry attempt their all-time to comfort him.
• Harsher in Hindsight: An in-universe example. Mentally being an developed lends Harry a different perspective on many incidents, such equally at present being horrified at Neville'south Hilariously Abusive Babyhood. invoked
• Take You lot Told Anyone Else?: Defied when Harry thinks Lockhart might be planning to steal his Invisibility Cloak. He makes a indicate of telling Lockhart that at least two dozen other students (whose names he is non saying) can confirm that it's his. Lockhart gives up and doesn't take the thought any further.
• Hilarious in Retrospect: Also in-universe, Harry finally gets that Lockhart was joking when he implied he was more famous than Harry. invoked

• Hypocrite: Harry (affectionately) thinks this when Sirius insists Snape should actually let go of his resentment. Because Sirius, himself, is quite mature in that regard.
• If You Die, I Call Your Stuff: Ginny to Harry upon facing the 3rd year Gryffindor vs. Slytherin quidditch match:

  "...[I]f you dice, can I take your broom?"

• If You Ever Hurt Her: Averted.

  Remus [Dazed]: Aren't ... yous going to warn me about breaking [Tonks'] heart?...
  Sirius: Why, are you planning on breaking her heart?
  Remus: Well, no, simply—
  Sirius: Then she tin can handle herself. She is well on her way to becoming an Auror, afterwards all; and I'thou sure she could castrate you far better than I e'er could.

• Insane Troll Logic: Harry does this a lot in society to explain how he knows certain facts that he shouldn't know withal or when he's messing with people.
• Insistent Terminology: Harry keeps calling their group "The Trio Plus Neville" because "The Quartet" sounds too much like they should be musicians.
• I Reject Your Reality:
  • In a lighthearted version of this, Sirius chooses to pretend he was in Majorca instead of Azkaban for over a decade. Everyone pretty much goes with it.
  • Luna provides an equally lighthearted example:

    Hermione: Information technology's not our mistake we're not insane. No offense, Luna.
    Luna: Why would I be offended? I've seen your version of sanity. It bores me.

• Ironic Echo: Harry returns one of Dumbledore'due south cryptic remarks to the man himself.

  Harry: The truth. It is a cute and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with dandy circumspection.
  Dumbledore: That is nigh unhelpful and I suspect deliberately cryptic.
  Harry: Well, if it is it's probably considering I got that from a reticent and secretive to a fault quondam homo.

• It Amused Me: Much of what Harry does is to avoid the crap that'southward going to happen, but most of it he does for the hell of information technology. The main reason he doesn't tell everybody his actual age is that everyone would then expect him to act like it.
• Jerk with a Centre of Gold:
  • Harry comes off as this, especially to the other characters who tin can't hear his thoughts. He may spend the story beingness an attention-seeking Troll, merely he does it while also doing everything he tin can to save or ameliorate the lives of nearly everyone.
  • Draco is this in the new timeline, since he and Harry manage to become friends. Prolonged exposure to the residue of the gang ways his prejudices aren't nearly equally strong, and by the cease, he's really not so bad.
• Karma Houdini: Lucius Malfoy gets away with everything he does. Again.
• Keet: Harry is a lot happier in this timeline, and is often cheerfully corking jokes, running headfirst into danger, and generally enjoying every 2nd of his being.
• Kill Information technology with Burn down: Most of the Horcruxes are destroyed using Fiendfyre.
• Lampshade Hanging: The story is practically made of them.
• Late to the Punchline: It takes Harry time-travelling and hearing Lockhart'due south comments nigh fame a 2d fourth dimension (this time as an developed) to realize that Lockhart was joking. (Of course, he's yet a self-centered, fame-hungry git, simply he'southward not nearly as bad equally he came off in the original timeline.)
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When presented with a headline reading "Harry Potter and the Pentawizard Playoffs", Harry muses that it sounds like the championship of a book ...
• Loophole Abuse:
  • In Harry's fourth year, he was supposed to piece of work with antidotes and "turned in a bezoar over again".

    Harry: It'due south kind of expensive, but the expect on his face and the fact that he can't technically fail me because the assignment was to find a mode to salvage someone from the various poisons makes it all worth it.

  • Fred Weasley gets entered into the Pentawizard Playoffs and George wants to enter every bit well. Solution: Have him change his name to George "Fred" Weasley and both can participate!
  • Dobby turns out to exist unexpectedly practiced at this during the second year. Despite Harry having Draco lodge Dobby to "not try to relieve Harry Potter" and "not try to keep Harry Potter abroad from Hogwarts", Dobby can still attempt specific things he's non prohibited from (such as enchanting a Bludger to attack Harry, since he hasn't been ordered to "non suspension Harry Potter'south arm"), which may lead to Harry leaving safely.
• Love Potion: Discussed. When Sirius explains Voldemort's backstory and asks his grade what the moral is, Lavender says, "Don't assume the guy y'all're feeding beloved potions [to] is in dearest with you and terminate?" Seamus is disturbed by this.
• The Masquerade: At the Yule Ball, Luna namechecks the wizarding earth's policy of hiding from the muggles.
• Mauve Shirt: Some readers idea Cedric Diggory was beingness set up for this, again. "When I was rereading GoF I noticed how ridiculously likable [Cedric] was. Seriously, it's like JKR did that only and then anybody would exist sad when he died…"[1] He's promoted to a supporting graphic symbol. And doesn't dice.
• Mental Time Travel: The fashion Harry and Sirius stop upwardly going back.
• Mentors: Lockhart mentors Harry in dealing with being a celebrity. They later try to give fame advice to Krum.
• Muggles Do It Ameliorate:
  • An example appears to explain why Theodore Nott, a Slytherin, is in Muggle Studies. When asked why he was there, Nott notes that his father learned the hard way that Muggles weren't as harmless every bit he thought later beingness shot on a trip to Las Vegas, and wants his son to learn as much nearly Muggles equally possible.
  • There is also why some students brainstorm to use pens and notebook newspaper instead of quills and parchment.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: At the kickoff, Harry insists on referring to his group of friends "The Trio Plus Neville" because "Quartet" sounded also much like a group for musicians for his liking.
• Noodle Implements: Narcissa Malfoy doesn't like to be effectually Sirius after the Marauders pranked her while she was on a date using "a frog, a canteen of pink hair dye, and a trampoline."
• Noodle Incident: Harry's commencement summer with Sirius is mostly subject to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad track down a "Blibbering Humdinger" in Zaire (with picayune luck), that he was forced to speak French for six weeks (which he maintains was the worst thing that happened to him in recent memory), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for three hours.
• No Periods, Flow: Averted twice. Moaning Myrtle was killed during her "time of the month", which she offers as an explanation of why she's emotionally volatile all the time. In tertiary year Lavender receives bad news from dwelling that her pet rabbit has died on the date seemingly foretold by Professor Trelawney, and that, worse, her period has too simply begun (a revelation which causes the male Gryffindors to make jerky excuses to leave).
• Not Even Bothering with an Excuse: Harry doesn't actually bother to hide that he knows things he really, actually shouldn't. HE'south but as likely to claim that his scar told him every bit he is to tell the true source, and he often namedrops future/previous-timeline events (similar how Dobby "took a pocketknife for him one time"). Since everyone thinks he's completely insane, he gets away with it.
• Once Washed, Never Forgotten: Afterward Harry becomes a participant in the Triwizard Tournament, he complains that the adults are more than worried about how he was entered in the tournament and not why:

  Sirius: If information technology were any other student potentially in danger, they would probably be highly concerned, but you go after trolls because you're bored.
  Harry: That was only the one time!

• Only in Information technology for the Money: Well, Harry's not but interested in money, simply he does deliberately projection this persona, to the point where he manages to convince everyone that he's non the Heir of Slytherin because if he were able to petrify people, he would exist charging to do information technology instead of doing it for free.
• Only Sane Man: Neville, who's part of the main group this time along with the trio, is oft the voice of sense and reason when Ron and/or Hermione are being unreasonable and/or Harry is being a troll.
• Paranoia Gambit: When Sirius becomes the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts, he decides to play the long game when it comes to tormenting Snape.

  Sirius: It'south going to take every ounce of my considerable cocky-control, merely I desire to look until he'south and then paranoid he tin't sleep before I get-go in on him.

• Peggy Sue: Harry and Sirius get sent dorsum in time and decide to set things and goof around in the meantime.
• Pillow Pistol: Pillow Wand, rather. Harry plain sleeps with his wand under his pillow and volition hex anyone who disturbs him while sleeping.
• The Power of Honey: Harry tells Sirius how he survived Voldemort's second Killing Curse through the power of love. Sirius responds that Harry should come with a more than badass caption than that.
• Ability Trio: Double Subverted. Though Harry, Ron, and Hermione become friends like before, Neville is added to the ranks right from the get-go, making them a Ability Quartet. However, Ron, Hermione, and Neville end up more of a unit of measurement without Harry, making them a Ability Trio and Harry more of the Draco to their Crabbe and Goyle. On the other paw, Harry concluded up forming a unit of measurement with Luna every bit his closest accomplice.
• Precision F-Strike: When Cedric hears the showtime task of the playoffs will be to steal an egg from a nesting dragon female parent, he takes a deep breath and but says, "Shit."
• Psychic Powers: Harry's master alibi for knowing what he does is that his scar is psychic. Annotation that he isn't psychic — just his scar. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer by proxy.
• Refuge in Audacity: The chief way Harry gets abroad with everything that he does? Do it with total confidence and zero shame. And brand sure that whatever "it" is, it's as over-the-acme and ridiculous as humanly possible. Nigh people are so stunned (or then exasperated) that they just ... let him.
• Replacement Goldfish: Subsequently Mrs. Norris is killed by the basilisk (the merely prey in that incident), Harry has Mrs. Figg send Filch a kitten, to Sirius'southward horror. The new cat is seen working alongside Filch like Mrs. Norris did and he seems to like her.
• The Rival: Draco for Harry, but in a way that is far more than friendly than in canon. Neither likes the other's friends and they sometimes don't speak to each other, but generally they are on rather good terms. Information technology may be best described as a cross betwixt this and Vitriolic Best Buds.
• Dominion of 3: In the middle of dinner in the Great Hall, Harry makes a bear witness of inviting Luna to be his date to the Yule Ball. The other students are impressed. Then Neville invites Ginny. Then Ron invites Hermione.

  The students hesitated for a few moments in instance someone ELSE wanted to take that opportunity to inquire someone to the Yule Brawl. When no one did, the applause became thunderous and girls swarmed in on the but 3 with dates to press for details.

  • It's a tax deductible!
  • The always-spreading rumor that Draco Malfoy is secretly the lovechild of Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape.
  • Wrackspurts!
  • Harry's psychic scar.
  • Harry'south "Oh, that reminds me, Cedric? Graveyards," and Cedric reflexively responding, "Run like hell."

• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Harry is constantly able to bribe regime officials for whatever he wants, including a Fourth dimension-Turner for Hermione and paperwork for a pardon for Sirius.
• Set Right What Once Was Wrong: Downplayed. Harry spends some time defeating Voldemort earlier with a far lower trunk count, merely admits that the future he came from was already pretty good.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend:

  Remus: Nymphadora is not my girlfriend!
  Harry: She lets you lot call her Nymphadora.

• Shout-Out:
  • Luna has seen The Princess Helpmate and read The Moving picture of Dorian Grayness.
  • Moody mentions The Nighttime Side, unintentionally referencing Star Wars to Harry'south amusement.
  • Harry tries to convince Cedric that the Great Pumpkin is real.
  • Harry and Sirius quote lines from Pinky and the Brain.
  • At one point, Draco smiles, and Harry muses:
  • At one point, Snape lampshades this trope.

    Snape: POTTER! Enough about your mythological creatures and your obscure Muggle literature!

• Spared past the Adaptation: Anybody, except Mrs. Norris and Voldemort. Also, Professor Binns' ghost gets exorcised by Sirius and moves onto the after life but he was already dead.
• Stating the Unproblematic Solution: When diary-Riddle tries to extort Harry for how he survived the Killing Expletive, Harry points out that he doesn't need that data to kill him — he just needs to use a different spell. Despite knowing this, Voldemort never really does that.
• The Stations of the Canon: Harry occasionally uses these to earn money by betting on highly improbable events. The most obvious of these is during the 3rd twelvemonth Quidditch friction match betwixt Gryffindor and Hufflepuff when dementors evidence up out of nowhere to crash the match, despite not existence stationed at the school. Cedric catches the Snitch, at which point Harry gets a large payout from students that he'd bet (through a proxy, of course) about the effect of the match with.
• Stunned Silence: The Decease Eaters' reaction when Harry throws off Voldemort'south Imperius Expletive and proceeds to oral cavity off at him.
• Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard:
  • At the beginning of Harry's second year:

    Harry: [Dobby'southward] apparently gotten it into his head that Hogwarts is a walking death trap and therefore I'thou better off with my Muggle relatives and in detail my Muggle uncle who could snap at any time and try and strangle me. Therefore, he sealed the portal to the platform and Ron and I got bored so we decided not to wait for everyone to fix the mess and but wing here.
    Draco: That has got to exist the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

  • And after...

    George: Besides, the Slytherin team apparently couldn't find anybody to spy as they showed upwardly in person. And full Quidditch gear.
    Harry: Why in the world are they wearing their Quidditch robes to exercise in? That has got to exist the stupidest matter I've seen all day.
    Fred: All mean solar day isn't very long, Harry. It can't be more than x.

• Sure, Permit'south Go with That: Played for laughs a couple of times.
  • When Harry'southward denying having been avoiding Draco:

    Draco: Are you certain? Considering I seem to recall you admitting you were fugitive me sometime in November.
    Harry: Actually, Draco, you do say the strangest things. At present why would I get and do a silly thing like that?
    Draco: Avert me?
    Harry: Well, actually, I meant 'acknowledge to fugitive you', but let's go with that. Why would I avert y'all, Draco?

  • At the Quidditch Earth Cup:

  Sirius: Top box. Information technology was part of my reparation. Of course, the balance of it went to buying Harry a Firebolt, but ...
  Harry: You lot don't mind, because I'm your godson and you dearest me?
  Sirius: ... Let'southward go with that, sure.

  • Played straight with Charlie Weasley hinting near the Triwizard Tournament:

    Charlie: I might exist seeing you lot all sooner than you think.
    Fred: Why?
    Harry: Are you going to exist in Britain for Christmas?
    Charlie: ... Allow's go with that.

• Surrounded by Idiots: Harry considers most of the human population to be mindless sheep.

  "Harry, yous've got 'I will be besieged past the stupidity of the full general population' iv times this month," Ron pointed out.
  "Really?" Harry said mildly. "Simply four times? This must be a skilful month, then."

• Talking Is a Free Action: After beingness transported to the graveyard, Cedric, Fred, & Harry discuss what to practise (in place of 'run like hell') before Harry stands up to face up Voldemort's minion.
• Trickster Archetype: The kickoff thing Harry does when coming together the Weasley twins (once again) is flim-flam them into starting a rumor, stunning them and Ron. He afterwards encourages others to try to lose the House Cup, calling it a "Suck-up" Loving cup. Then there's, well, everything else he does ...
• Troperiffic: Tropes are invoked, discussed and parodied all the fourth dimension. Several tropes are fifty-fifty mentioned by name — Blatant Lies, Cannon Forage, The Power of Love, Unexplained Recovery (by its old name, "I Got Meliorate"), UST and Unresolved Sexual Tension (spelled both ways, in fact)...
• Uncle Penny Numberless: Harry both makes and spends money far more extravagantly this fourth dimension around.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Harry points out that Draco and Ron'due south rivalry looks suspiciously like "UST" (Hermione finds it hilarious, whereas the acronym goes right over Ron'southward head). He later thinks Hermione and Ron'due south relationship clearly falls under this as well.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Draco and Harry. See "The Rival" above.
• A Magician Did It: A couple times, when someone asks how Harry knows something, he says it's "Magic" and refuses to elaborate.
• Globe of Snark: Unsurprisingly, given the source cloth. Harry, of course, gets to practise information technology the most, but most of the characters, even background ones, get a few snarky lines. A special mention should probably get to Neville, given how a few changes in his first scenes make a huge difference between his catechism self and what he is like in the fanfic.
• Worst. Whatever. Ever!: Sirius calls himself the worst guardian ever after Harry dies once again. Harry assures him he couldn't possibly be worse than the Dursleys were. For some reason, Sirius doesn't discover this comforting.
• Worth It:
  • Harry decides the await on Snape'due south confront when Harry turns in a bezoar as an antidote is worth the high expense he paid for information technology.
  • In a rare serious example, Harry has to tell himself that it's worth it to be obnoxious to Voldemort even when he's being hit by even so another Cruciatus Curse.
