* AdaptedOut: Hermione is implied to have moved outright to France in order to attend Beaubaxtons, presumably due to the troll incident.



** On the flip side a few minutes later, when Luz suggests that a "magical letter-goblin" is stealing Ron's letters to Harry, Eda and King are both rather skeptical about the idea despite (as the narration reminds us) being a cursed witch and tiny demon, respectively, who are both from a dimension of magic and horrors.

He then proves that he's free of the binding by rearranging King's "minions", since he wouldn't be capable of following the orders of someone not in the family he's bound to if he was still under the oath.

I'm a little miffed that I got beaten to making this, since I was waiting until the 8th so people would find it after the finale so they could fill the void. Anyway, here's a bunch of tropes to pad things out.

Added DiffLines:

* ArbitrarySkepticism: This occurs multiple times, on both sides of things.
** Many of the Boiling Isles witches are skeptical at the idea of humans that are capable of using magic.
** Despite being a wizard who is currently driving a flying car, Ron initially refuses to believe Luz about the Demon Realm before Eda gives a demonstration of her magic. When Luz lampshades the fact that he's in a flying car in response to his skepticism, and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he doesn't get the connection between that and what they're claiming]], Luz mentally notes that their magic gives human wizards a rather odd view of what is and isn't believable.
** On the flip side a few minutes later, when Luz suggests that a "magical letter-goblin" is stealing Ron's letters to Harry, Eda and King are both rather skeptical about the idea despite (as the narration reminds us) being a cursed witch and tiny demon, respectively, who are both from a dimension of magic and horrors.


Added DiffLines:

* DumbassHasAPoint: Waldreg is a rather incompetent fit for janitor at Hexside, but he's perfectly correct in pointing out that keeping ''unlabeled'' rat poison right to the sugar is stupid.


Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: The House Elf oath to serve their family says that they must do do as long as they "walk this Earth", but as Ron points out, the Boiling Isles don't exactly count as ‘this earth’. He then proves that he's free of the binding by rearranging King's "minions", since he wouldn't be capable of doing so if he was still under the oath.


Added DiffLines:

* INeverToldYouMyName: A variant, when Luz calls the Dursleys looking for Harry, she introduces herself just as Harry's friend, but the fact that Vernon used Harry's last name of "Potter" when Luz never mentioned it clearly shows that he knows who Harry is despite his denials.


Added DiffLines:

* MagicMisfire:
** When Harry first draws a spell circle when he's listening to Eda talk about Boiling Isles spellcasting, the fact that he wasn't intending to do so may be part of it, but the circle is notably malformed and fizzles out without doing anything. Eda even notes that while it's not uncommon to mess up a spell on the first try she's never seen one that's unstable like that, as if the magic didn't want to ''be'' in a spell circle.
** When showing off for Willow and Gus, Harry makes a "spineapple" tap-dance, unaware that doing so causes them to multiply... and attack anyone nearby.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: The janitor at Hexside is named [[Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower Waldreg]].


Added DiffLines:

* UnEqualRites: Eda is rather unimpressed by how human wizards usually need to use wands to cast spells, since in the Isles wands are simply training tools used by young witches and witches can cast spells solely by drawing a spell circle for the desired spell, and even Harry has to admit (when seeing the goons Gregore hired), that the magic of the Isles seems ''powerful''. Upon meeting Hedwig she also takes a moment to rub in how her Palisman Owlbert can become a flying MagicStaff while the other owl can't. When Eda has to admit that they have one thing over the Boiling Isles system in that they let wizards use any kind of magic instead of limiting it to a single type like with the Coven system, she feels like she's going to throw up.
* WrongContextMagic: The magic that human wizards use is seemingly a different variety than the Boiling Isles witches can do, as Harry presumably lacks a bile sack like they do, and wizards being able to reliably use a spell without a wand like the latter does constantly is a fairly rare skill. Interestingly, when Eda is explaining the light spell Harry reflexively starts moving his finger in a circle and generates a malformed spell circle that just fizzles out, with Eda noting that it's like his magic didn't ''want'' to be in one.
