Added DiffLines:

* IRejectYourReality: This version of events shows [[spoiler:Fudge even more determined to believe Voldemort's return is a fabrication even when there are four respected young wizards from different schools around the world as witnesses and not just Harry, who Fudge could just blame as being in confederacy with Dumbledore.]] The story do shows that [[spoiler:because of said multiple witnesses, more people are willing to accept said return than in canon, which may lead to Fudge [[LaserGuidedKarma getting his karma earlier]].]]

* EverybodyHasStandards: Almost everyone is too horrified at the idea he'll have to compete in a tournament that had been originally suspended for the ''death toll'' to even consider he tried to get in on purpose (of the named characters, only Draco Malfoy seems to think it, but he's TheBully and eleven himself), to the point that [[{{Paparazzi}} Rita Skeeter]] (a notable HateSink in the source material) doesn't even consider to write any of her sensationalist stories on Harry, focusing instead on the fact Harry was somehow dragged in the tournament.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Brought up regarding [[spoiler:the unnamed wizard Quirrell/Voldemort Imperiused to capture Harry after he touched the Portkey; this wizard was only commanded to subdue Harry, so he is quickly overpowered by the other champions]].

Added DiffLines:

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: It's noted that, at their core, Cedric, Fleur and Krum were all chosen because they are champions even outside of this contest, citing their personal experiences in canon such as Krum challenging anyone wearing Grindlewald's mark or how Fleur would stand by Bill even after his disfigurement.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** With a greater age gap between Hermione and Krum, she is not his date to the Yule Ball; instead Hermione attends the Ball as Harry's date, but they're clearly just friends as they're too young to think about anything further.
** At the same time, while Harry was still reasonably friendly with the other three Champions in canon, here [[spoiler:they all become closer after facing the threat of Quirrell/Voldemort together, with the three promising to write to Harry over the summer]].



* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: A key reason for Voldemort's [[spoiler:failure is that he was unaware of Lily's protection making it impossible for him to touch Harry, allowing Harry to turn the tables on Quirrell just by touching him]].



** Even without the Halloween Troll incident, Hermoine still becomes friends with Harry and Ron [[FireForgedFriends while working together to

Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts was already a mind-blowing experience, since he's been exposed to magic and all sort of crazy thing. Then it turns out that Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament, a competition between three students from Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Drumstrang.

But to the dread of everyone, the fourth champion is none other than eleven-years-old Harry Potter.

!!''And the Unethical Binding Contract'' contains the following tropes:
* AgeLift: Cedric, Fleur, and Krum are all 17 years old, older than they would be in 1991[[note]]For reference, Cedric and Fleur would both be 14 and Krum would be 15[[/note]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: The other champions are greatly protective of the much younger Harry, [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight even outright cheating to make sure he'll get through the challenges]].
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Even without the Halloween Troll incident, Hermoine still becomes friends with Harry and Ron [[FireForgedFriends while working together to
** [[spoiler:Even with four champions advocating that they saw Voldemort in the graveyard, Fudge [[IRejectYourReality refuses to accept that they saw him and claim they caught Quirrell's hallucination]]. [[PlayingWithATrope That said, the students and staff at Hogwarts are more than willing to believe the quartet]].]]
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: All three of the other champions do their best to help Harry after he's entered into the Triwizard Tournament despite being only eleven, including both informing him as to what the next task is, improving his plan for the first task, and guiding him to the goals of the second and third tasks.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:A combination of Victor and Fleur joining their Hogwart companions in taking the Goblet during the third challenge along with Quirrell's [[ThouShallNot refusal to kill]] means Cedric survives the graveyard encounter and returns with the other champions to Hogwarts]].
