Its final sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2630300/1/You-Did-What You Did WHAT!?]]'', has Harry repaying a favor to Dudley for his help in an experiment. Unfortunately things go very wrong, 4 Privet Drive is now a smoldering crater, and the Dursleys are no longer in their bodies... because now his parents are Sirius are in them. He now has to figure out how to restore the Dursleys, getting to know his parents who never grew up, and are somehow even less mature than he is. Merlin help us all.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Harry's experiment to help Dudley lose weight ends up blowing up the Dursley home, destroying every magic detector at the ministry and resurrects his dead parents and godfather in the bodies of his relatives. [[spoiler: And trying to fix things turns the Dursleys into the first Dementors, including Dudley turning into his friend Bob, before sending them into the distant past.]]

** A prank Sirius and Harry pull on Hogwarts seems to be heavily inspired by ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'', lampshaded when the two plan it and think of invoking EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys, but eventually replace the apes with house elves.

Its first sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2477165/1/The-Untitled-Cheekquel-Project The Untitled Cheekquel Project]]'', has Harry dragged back into society as the new DADA professor, replacing the ancient alchemist Nicholas Flamel, and giving him the chance to corrupt the next generation of wizards and witches with his trollish mindset.

Its final sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2630300/1/You-Did-What You Did WHAT!?]]'', has Harry repaying a favor to Dudley for his help in an experiment.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Draco accidently [[spoiler: creates a horcrux out of his diary by complete accident, creating 'Tibbles'.]]
** Harry's 'accidental necromancy' is also this, considering actually raising of the dead is supposed to be impossible.
* AmbiguouslyGay: One of the running jokes is that Neville keeps being seen as this and [[HaveIMentionedIamHeterosexualToday protests it]], though at times, particularly during the BachelorParty scene, comes off as a [[TransparentCloset bit hollow.]]
* AnswersToTheNameOfGod: Inverted: Everyone keeps [[BlasphemousPraise praising him at levels reserved for Jesus]], to his massive annoyance. Started as a prank from Snape and Draco and only escalated.
* {{Animorphism}}: James (stag) and Sirius (dog) as in canon, with a young boy Harry is helping turning into a cat and Lily into a cow with Harry's help. Harry is as well, though like all other rules of magic he seems to break on a regular basis, he doesn't have any set form.
* BerserkButton: Hermione and her hair. This gets hammered on during the Prank War in YDW.
* ButtMonkey: Several but nobody moreso than Draco.
* DarkSecret: Parodied all to hell with Draco and 'Sandy'. [[spoiler: Draco bleaches his hair, which is naturally sandy blonde.]]
* EmbarrassingFirstName: What Harry could have ended up with instead, from Oglethorp Pugsley Potter, to [[FunWithAcronyms Draco Ignatius Potter]], or even Tom Marvolo Potter. The last was something Lily saw on a trophy at Hogwarts, not realizing that it was the name of the last person she saw before she was killed.
* EthicalSlut: Harry seems to be this, with it being [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] with Luna in the second story, and his mother in the third.
* [[EscalatingWar Escalating]] FriendlyWar: A prank war is declared between Harry and his parents in YDW, one that goes very badly for the parents' team, despite [[spoiler: or rather, because of]] choosing Nicholas Flamel.
* FanService / FanDisservice: The whole spectrum is played with often, whether from Harry's various [[EthicalSlut hookups]] to [[MayDecemberRomance Hermione and Nicholas Flamel]], to the below-mentioned Quidditch prank.
* GenderBender: Partial, on Sirius due to a [[MeaningfulName ''venerio'']] curse, and most of James's prank war team during a Quidditch match.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Harry's experiment to help Dudley lose weight ends up blowing up the Dursley home, destroying every magic detector at the ministry and resurrects his dead parents and godfather in the bodies of his relatives. [[spoiler: And trying to fix things turns the Dursleys into the first Dementors, including Dudley turning into his friend Bob, before sending them into the distant past.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Draco and Severus both did this in the backstory, becoming Harry's spies among the Death Eaters. Both are still Jerkasses, but Harry is keeping them in line.
* IAteWhat: James eats a piece of dementor shed from Bob, mocking the claims that Bob was a Dementor. Evidently it tasted like boiled feet, according to him.
* IncrediblyLamePun: "WhatAreYouInFor" [[YourSoulIsMine "Identity theft."]] [[LamePunReaction "Maybe you do deserve Azkaban."]]
* InsistentTerminology: Accidental Necromancy for Harry and Albus, 'brought the dead to life' for the Goblins.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: Nicholas Flamel was actually the alias of a halfblood who had to put up with FantasticRacism, so created the alias as a powerful pureblood alchemist and warrior. The title has been passed from person to person, [[WhatMightHaveBeen which almost included Dumbledore himself]], before choosing Harry as his replacement.]]
* ManChild: Harry has basically become this as a payback for the abusive childhood he had. His parents and Sirius as well, the former because they died before they could mature, the latter because he never matured anyway.
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler: Draco and 'Tibbles']] and [[spoiler: Harry and Nicholas Flamel]]. The latter was to maintain the above LegacyCharacter, the [[AchievementsInIgnorance latter...]]
* MundaneUtility: Nicholas Flamel lampshades this when James and Sirius complain about not being able to nail Harry with any of their pranks. All the skills Harry needed to survive and eventually defeat Voldemort and the Death Eaters make him paranoid and skilled enough to avoid and counter his parents' traps with ease. [[spoiler: Of course, Having recruited Harry himself in the form of Nicholas Flamel didn't do them any favors either...]]
* NoodleIncident: Several alluded to, but one of the big ones was when Harry's parents ask how Voldemort died, Harry only replies, "Slowly and in a lot of pain."
* RefugeInAudacity: Harry is accused of committing accidental necromancy (Which he did) but bluffs it out by claiming that his 'undead' parents are actually test subjects for a long-term Polyjuice potion, allowing one to take a normal appearance in case of injuries or the like. The [[ObstructiveBureaucrat ministry employee]] becomes exasperated when the 'subjects' begin to complain that he is trying to interfere with the Masquerade of various (probably) fictional groups, even a muggle Illuminati who are trying to keep things secret from Wizards for their own protection, offering to even 'phaser-beam mindwipe' the bureaucrat before the latter storms off in a huff.
* QueerPeopleAreFunny: When Draco undergoes his [[AchievementsInIgnorance accident]], his blackouts make him afraid that he's going out with a ''woman''. TooMuchInformation for all who hear about this. Harry even jokes that hooking [[spoiler: the twin Dracos]] up with the Patils wouldn't work because "They have a bit too much vagina for him."
* ScrewYourself: [[spoiler: Draco and [[MesACrowd Tibbles]]]], much to Harry's nausea at the thought.
* ShoutOut: A prank Sirius and Harry pull on Hogwarts seems to be heavily inspired by PlanetOfTheApes, lampshaded when the two plan it and think of invoking EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys, but eventually replace the apes with house elves.
* {{Squick}}: A few cases joked about from time to time, including where Harry's name came from.
* TakeThat: Harry dreams of a [[FightClubbing pit fight between Dobby and another elf named ]][[GeorgeWBush Dubya]], who Dobby thought was "Half elf, half goblin and half tree". [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext (The extra half because of the tree.)]].
---> '''Dobby''': Luckily I won that one. Dobby and Dubya had a wager. The loser had to become [[ThePresidents president of the uni-]] (Cut off from screaming in another room)
* ToiletHumor: Goblin Whiskey, AKA Goblin Sauce causes human drinkers to fart fire.
