Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Successfully casting a Summoning Charm requires that the caster actually knows what the object they're trying to Summon is and refers to it as such; attempting to Summon a misidentified item won't work. This saves Harry's life when Voldemort tries Summoning him in Animagus form, but fails because he thinks Harry is a ferret when he's actually a mongoose.
-->Voldemort pointed his wand and said "Accio ferret."\\
Harry would have grinned if his current form was physically able. He wasn't a ferret, he was a mongoose. He suspected that Voldemort had never been a to ''(sic)'' zoo in his life.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
** Colin Creevey dies roughly two months into his first year at Hogwarts when the Basilisk is implied to have eaten him, leaving nothing behind save for a large pool of blood and his camera. In canon, he's killed when he sneaks into the Battle of Hogwarts in his sixth year.
** While it's undone, one timeline ends when Dumbledore triggers the curse on Gaunt's ring two years early. Unlike in canon, there isn't enough time to reach Snape and have him delay the curse's effects until they can execute a MercyKillArrangement, and Dumbledore succumbs to the curse.



--> '''Harry''': This entire school is DeathTrap, even wihout Voldemort. It's next to a forest filled with giant, man-eating spiders, werewolves and a host of other monsters. There's a tree on the grounds that will beat you to death if you get too close to it. The stairs move from under you so [[NoOSHACompliance you can go falling to your death]]. Potions class is like a class where you make bombs without a clear idea of what you are doing.

Added DiffLines:

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Harry dies around a dozen times over the course of seven years, with each instance setting him back various lengths of time.
** Harry dies three times before even setting foot in Hogwarts: he has his throat slit by a Voldemort-possessed Quirrell, gets stabbed by someone claiming to act for the benefit of the dark lord, and is shoved off the Hogwarts Express by another student while the train is in motion.
** Harry's deaths in first year include getting smashed by a troll's club, being cursed into oblivion when he tries to attack Quirrel during class, and having his torso blown open by a Death Eater who got hired as a replacement groundskeeper.
** Harry only has one death each in second and third year, but they respectably involve seeing the killer gaze of the Basilisk and being caught in a crowd crush after the Dementors attack the student body during a Quidditch game.
** In fourth year, Harry dies from deliberately creating an explosion with sodium and potassium and accidentally getting decapitated by a spell used to protect Voldemort's ring Horcrux.
