!!Tropes:
* AdiposeRex: The King is pretty big... for an elf.
* AllThereInTheManual: All the giants in Wood Man's book have names and backgrounds that are elaborated upon in the Graphic Novel of the same name.
* BigFancyCastle: Inverted. The King lives in a large and opulent castle for an elf. Which still makes it small enough for Hilda to pick up and run with.
* CaveMouth: What Hilda thinks is a cave turns out to be a giant's ear.
* ColossusClimb: Hilda climbs Jorgen by hanging to the hair that covers his body.
* DeepSleep: The Giantess has been asleep for thousands of years, to the point that she has become part of the landscape!
* EarlyBirdCameo: On her trip to Trolberg, Hilda runs into Frida and David, who would come to be her best friends and fellow Sparrow Scouts.
* GentleGiant: Jorgen and his girlfriend are both examples of this. Jorgen even saves Hilda's life. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they don't cause damage by mistake.
* GiantWoman: Jorgen alludes to one in his conversation with Hilda, and it turns out she was waiting for him the whole time.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: Hilda causes and narrowly avoids one in front of the Elf King's castle.
* HearingVoices: The Giantess at first believes that Hilda is this, as she can clearly hear someone talking to her, but can't see anyone.
* HistoryRepeats: At a certain point, it becomes undeniable that just like the giants, the world has become too small for Hilda and her mother, and [[TheMagicGoesAway it would be best for everyone if they leave]].
* InASingleBound: Once Jorgen and his girlfriend have found each other, they follow the other giants and jump into space, as Wood Man speculated they did.
* IWillWaitForYou: Both Jorgen and his girlfriend display this trope: Jorgen when he returns night after night even when his girlfriend seems to have forgotten him, and his girlfriend when she sits in the valley for thousands of years, waiting for him to return from his post.
* NoNameGiven: The Giantess never gets her own name.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Jorgen, the titular giant that appears outside Hilda's house every night at midnight, and his girlfriend.
* RuleOfSymbolism: As Johanna says looks down on her destroyed house, she muses how the giants didn't even realize what they've done... [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription While she obliviously has her foot in the middle of some elf's home]]. [[note]] See HistoryRepeats to understand why this is significant [[/note]]
* ThatsNoMoon: The mountain on which the Elf King has built his castle is actually a sleeping giantess.
