* DefiantToTheEnd: Even while rapidly bleeding out, Darth Maul does his best to drive Harry out of his mind by projecting negative emotions at him.
* DontAskJustRun: While he doesn't run, when Harry notes that five different groups of bounty hunters have attacked him and HK-47 corrects him, saying six groups have, Harry immediately dives behind cover rather than ask what HK is talking about. A few seconds later, the sixth group start shooting.



* EurekaMoment: Qui-gon finally starts to understand Harry when he asks Obi-wan about his encounter with the man and why he'd send his regards. When Obi-wan's response details that he was simply polite and respectful, Qui-gon realizes that Harry's friendly to those who don't antagonize him and a cold-hearted mercenary to those who do.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Harry isn't evil per se, he does admit to being a mercenary, thief, pirate, murderer, and (depending on your point of view) kidnapper. However, he refuses to tolerate slavery, so when he robs a Hutt as part of a job, he makes sure to free every slave and bring them to safety. On a later job to rescue someone from a mercenary stronghold, he adds saving any slaves present as an additional primary objective.
** PlayedForLaughs later when he wonders if he could learn to weaponize C-3PO's infuriating politeness, then decides he'd deserve to be tried for war crimes if he ever did.
* ExtendedDisarming: Done just for kicks when Harry has to disarm and removes eighteen separate weapons. He had more but stopped there because he felt it'd push the incredulity of things too far.



* ItsTheBestWhateverEver: When one of his crew fails to prevent some of the others being kidnapped but manages to relay what happened to him, Harry decides to give him "extra duties" in the form of "visiting and reviewing the best brothels on every planet and station they land on for the next twenty years so he can eventually tell Harry which is the best in the galaxy". Said crew-mate promptly declares Harry the best boss ever.
** HK-47 later declares the same thing when Harry encourages him to slaughter every last droid on an enemy ship as stress relief.
* LogicalWeakness: The Fidelius Charm may hide the location of Harry's new space station, but he still needs goods delivered there regularly. Obi-wan Kenobi infiltrates the station by hiding in a shipment of food being sent there.
** In Unsuspecting, Anakin shows off the greatest weakness of a droid army: they're programmable. One of his first actions is to upload a program into their software that causes them to ignore any being that gives off the same frequency of white noise as his communicator, rendering him invisible to the entire army.



* MakeAnExampleOfThem:
** Harry has HK-47 make an example of Cad Bane after the latter kidnaps two of his crew. HK promises to "make every bounty hunter in the galaxy terrified of attracting [Harry's] attention."
** Harry does similar with Gardulla the Hutt, though that was more taking advantage of a situation. He'd shrunk Gardulla down and let her former slave stomp her to death then undid the shrinking, resulting in pieces of Hutt being plastered all over the room.
** Before either of those, Harry places wards around his ship that give a nasty electric shock to anyone sneaking aboard. When HK suggests more lethal security measures, Harry responds that "[[Implied Death Threat anyone who ignores the first warning becomes the second warning".
* MundaneLuxury: Shmi had never had a bath before due to not only having been a slave her whole life, but a slave on a desert planet. When Harry realizes he'd interrupted her first ever bath, he orders her to soak in it until her fingers prune then keep soaking a bit longer.



* OutsideContextProblem: Harry is completely outside of everyone's understanding. Palpatine is wondering how to get his plans for Anakin back on track once Harry befriends him and the Jedi don't know how to deal with an apparent force user who commits horrible acts but isn't affected by the Dark Side. Neither group has any idea how Harry does what he does except that he actually harms the Force while performing his magic. Though it takes Harry some time to realize that Force users can track him when he uses magic since he's basically sending screaming alarms through the Force.



* RealityEnsues: No matter how good a combat robot is, in the event of fighting a Sith it is likelier that the latter will win without a problem [[spoiler:as shown in Chapter 12 of ''Unsuspecting'', where Dooku easily defeats HK-47 by using the Force.]]
** The sudden opening of a place with air to vaccuum will cause anything within to be affected, [[spoiler:with Dooku getting knocked out when Anakin deactivates the force field keeping the air within the hangar he, Harry and Dooku are in and the latter hits his head against the emergency locking gate.]]

to:

* RealityEnsues: ProperlyParanoid: After capturing two of Harry's crew, the bounty hunters hired by Gardulla the Hutt change vehicles several times and eventually take shelter in a fortified bunker lined with traps and a door that'd take a week to hack through or a lightsaber to cut through. The bunker also has numerous well trained guards and a panic room for Gardulla. But as Harry put it, none of that matters if he's already in there with them.
* RealityEnsues:
** When Harry first arrives, he doesn't understand a word of (almost) any language used, and becomes a smuggler to support himself as he has no knowledge, money, or identification that could help him.
** At one point, Harry tries firing spells at a pirate ship attacking his ship, and he misses horribly until R2-D2 helps him since in space, he has no way of judging relative velocity, size, or distance.

* TheReveal: Harry learns from Anakin that he's not in the future, but the distant past.
* RevealingCoverUp: Harry learns the hard way that while the Fidelius Charm perfectly hides a location or piece of information on Earth, it's less effective in a galaxy far, far away. Because anyone Force-sensitive can sense how magic tears at the Force, to them the space around Harry's new space station feels like a chaotic maelstrom. They can't find the space station itself but as Harry notes, it's like a giant neon sign announcing there's something hidden there.
** Even his less powerful methods of hiding himself are easily noticeable to the Jedi. When Harry puts up protections to hide his magic use, the Jedi can no longer sense his actions but they can easily sense the empty void in the Force where he is.



* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Harry is far more cynical than the more idealist Anakin. Unlike most examples however, he teaches Anakin to be more cynical because he honestly doesn't want the kid to learn the hard way like Harry did.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Despite all his faults, Harry refuses to tolerate slavery and makes a point of freeing every slave he meets.



* SurroundedByIdiots: Harry feels this way after one of the slaves he freed loudly confirms his identity in a throne room filled with people. He even tells HK-47 to ask them, in the most insulting manner he can, "Whether the words 'I'd like to remain anonymous' are anything more than a collection of unintelligible syllables to them, or they actually want me dead, or if they are all just sodding morons." As he points out, when he saved the slaves (and robbed their owner, a Hutt, blind), he made sure no one could possibly trace it back to him. Now because of a little girl, he's going to be hunted by the Hutts for what he did.
* TaughtByExperience: Harry notes that ''everyone'' he does a job for tries to screw him over the first time. As a result, he's taken to setting up precautions to prevent and/or counteract such attempts. Though even before he grew wise to such tricks Harry made sure [[GoodIsNotSoft no one was stupid enough to try it a second time]].



* TranslationConvention: Readers get to understand what the different characters say, but Harry's initial ignorance of Basic (the standard language in the Star Wars galaxy) means he cannot react appropiately.

to:

* TooAwesomeToUse: Harry Potter is very reluctant to use any of his potions since he's stuck in a galaxy far, far away from anywhere he could restock, making them irreplaceable. Early on, he ponders saving his Felix Felicis since it's something he only wants to use for emergencies, given how hard it is to replace normally. Then he realizes that emergencies don't get much worse than being in an unknown time and place where he can't communicate with anyone.
* TookALevelInCynic: Harry learned to stop helping people out of the goodness of his heart because they will inevitably take advantage of his kindness. As a result, he's a far more cynical and bitter (though still benevolent) mercenary who refuses to do anything for free. Notably, early in the story Harry rescues over a hundred slaves from the Hutts and uses his good deed as a bargaining chip when the ship he receives as payment for a related job is given back stripped of it's shields, weapons, and engine upgrades.

* UnclePennybags: Harry becomes very rich very soon, thanks to the combination of his magic, his entrepeneurial entrepreneurial sense and his thieving skills - and he has no trouble in paying those who are working for him very generous salaries.
* UndyingLoyalty: Harry manages to inspire this in everyone he befriends on any level, partially because he's such a BenevolentBoss. Anakin's mother was offered a position in Chancellor Palpatine's retinue but turned it down so she could stay a kitchen hand on Harry's ship. A minister goes out of her way to have a former lieutenant in Naboo's military work for Harry and openly lies to the committee investigating him. Lastly, Anakin makes it clear that his friendship to Harry far outweighs his loyalty to the Jedi Order (at least partially because Harry's the reason Anakin could buy his mother's freedom).
* TheUnintelligible: At first Harry can only be understood by HK-47 as the only two languages he speaks are English (which hasn't been invented yet) and Parseltongue (which is also the language of a primitive species that other species can't learn). He later learns Basic from Anakin, though Harry notes that Anakin picked up English much faster.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8501689/1/The-Havoc-side-of-the-Force The Havoc Side of the Force]]'' is a ''Franchise/HarryPotter[=/=]Franchise/StarWars'' crossover that has a post-Deathly Hallows Harry become a sort-of mercenary that works in the magical world, chasing dark wizards and witches and for the most part enjoying life where he can. When he catches up to Millicent Bulstrode, who has been possessed by Bellatrix Lestrange's [[SoulJar Horcrux]], she is carrying out a ritual, which prompts Harry to act before it is too late. However, the mix of the energies involved, an attempt by Millicent[=/=]Bellatrix to use a time turner and Harry activating a Portkey causes an explosion that punts Harry into Coruscant's Jedi Temple, during ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.

Alone, carrying just his wits, the Deathly Hallows and a few items on himself, and in a place he cannot understand and that does not understand him - and with the hassle of all those gents with laser blades and bandits going after him - Harry has to fight, not just to survive, but to live. On the way, he will make several friends, even more enemies and quite a few headaches along the way.

* DueToTheDead: Harry closes [[spoiler:Darth Maul's]] eyes when he dies.
** Averted with [[spoiler:Gardulla the Hutt, who is shrunk by Harry and then gets kicked around and stepped on by Kalu'minari until it bursts: just threatening to step on a Hutt is a large insult.]]
* FishOutOfWater: Harry knows zilch about the Star Wars galaxy, and it takes him quite a while to get used to things.
* GadgeteerGenius: Anakin. He is the one that HK's new body, created C3PO and made his own podracer out of scrap.
* HeroComplex: Averted by Harry, who learned the lesson after doing the heroics for free in the Magical World was not worth it.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic HK-47]].
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Harry once asks [=HK-47=] about what would happen if one accidental mistranslation led to Harry killing someone. The robot takes umbrage at the idea that such mistranslation would be accidental.
* {{Magitek}}: Harry uses spells and magical runes to replace or improve technology.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:During the Battle for Naboo, Qui-Gon Jinn looks at a certain corridor and has the feeling he would have found some bad destiny in there.]]
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: Harry's magic makes the Force cry out in pain, the bigger the magic the higher the consequences - his appearance caused Jedi and Sith alike to faint from the shock.
* NoSell: Certain spells against Darth Maul, who easily bats them aside with his lightsaber.
* ReallyGetsAround: Harry.
* SeenItAll: When Darth Maul pulls his hood back, Harry thinks he has seen scarier.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Harry's mere presence derails the prequels' plot almost from the beginning, what with him [[spoiler:killing Darth Maul]].
** Harry's friendship with Anakin pretty much destroys Palpatine's plans to turn Anakin into his apprentice.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Qui-Gon Jinn, because, since Harry kills Darth Maul well before the Battle of Naboo, he never fights the Sith.]]
** [[spoiler:Shmi Skywalker, as Harry helps Anakin free her years before she is bought and freed by Clegg Lars.]]
* TranslationConvention: Readers get to understand what the different characters say, but Harry's ignorance of Basic (the standard language in the Star Wars galaxy) means he cannot react appropiately.
* TricksterArchetype: Harry likes to pull pranks on people that have annoyed him or that he thinks need to lighten up. He then teaches Anakin to do the same - with hilarious and [[SpannerInTheWorks spannery]] consequences.
* VerbalTic: [=HK-47=] prefaces every sentence he says with how they should be understood.
