* TakeOverTheWorld: As Kupriyanich explains to General Petrovich about the wizards' learning how to penetrate the "Russian protection" and setting up a Global Congress with the help of NATO, the former concludes that if they don't do anything to stop their expansion, they will turn everyone, even Russians, into wizards.

* AntiMagic: The "Russian protection" essentially boils down to this, negating all kinds of magic targeted at Russians.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: At least some of HAOS's female dress uniforms are shown to reveal the midriffs of the students who wear them.

* TransferStudentUniforms: Nadia wears her old Russian school uniform even when attending HAOS classes as a student.

* GorgeousGarmentGeneration: During his demonstration of magic to a Russian school, Leonard gives his chaperone a fancy red dress.

* YouHaveFailedMe: After the destruction of HAOS, the Global Congress decided to have Leonard [[DeadlyEuphemism "initiated"]] and fed to the ghouls.

* WizardingSchool: The High Academy of Occult Science (HAOS) is a magic school built over a former Nazi base in Scotland, which is ridiculous when taking into account that none of the United Kingdom's territories, save the Channel Islands, fell to the Nazis. Moreover, such a convoluted reason is nothing but yet another thinly-veiled excuse to bash on ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' since Hogwarts is in Scotland as well.

* GonkyFemme: Professor Ramona al-Rahamma is the teacher in charge of Seduction classes in HAOS, yet she is depicted as a pink-skinned, fat, and ugly woman with wonky breasts, especially because of the poor-quality CGI.

* GreedyJew: Professor Kohan Kosch is implied to be one, helped by his pronounced nose, teaching students alchemy (to transmute things into gold, of course) and the theory of greed and wealth, on top of having metal valuables in his desk along with bonsai which he uses to hide a unique Fabergé crystal egg.

** When [[spoiler:Ellie]] is revealed to be the Great Magister and tried to have Peter sacrifice Asya for the initiation ritual, Ivan shows up in the nick of time to inform Lt. Col. Telegin and blow up the school before taking his friends to safety.

* ShaggyDogStory: Kupriyanich sent Ivan and Peter to find five Russian orphans in HAOS and convince them to leave the school. However, by the time both friends get there, it's too late; Asya, the first orphan Ivan meets, explains that the other four, Ellie, Benya, Arkady, and Slava, already lost their "Russian protection" and become mere Russian speakers before turning into magicians.

* SoftGlass: Ivan fell or jumped through a glass courtyard dome in HAOS without getting even a single scratch.

* PropagandaPiece: This film is ultra-nationalistic Orthodox Christian anti-magic propaganda peddled to kids to the point of being ridiculous; from Lt. Col. Telegin claiming that UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars happened because [[BlamingTheVictim Serbs let the wizards in]] to Nadia proclaiming she's glad of having been born in Russia while claiming the country saved the world from fascism.

* TakenForGranite: Professor Kosch turns Ivan into stone after he got conceited and therefore lost his "Russian protection," but he couldn't do the same to Nadia because she didn't get conceited enough to lose hers. Furthermore, Ivan regains his protection and returns to normal by repenting.

* GreedyJew: Professor Kohan Kosch is implied to be Jewish, helped by his pronounced nose, teaching students to be greedy and having metal valuables in his desk along with bonsai which he uses to hide a unique Fabergé crystal egg.

* EvilPlan: The HAOS' latest scheme is to corrupt the minds of Russian children and turn them into wizards after finding a way to destroy the "Russian protection." To achieve this, they send Leonard on a mission to visit all schools in Moscow, putting doubts into their heads and summoning "phantoms" to destroy their souls.

* AncientConspiracy: According to the film, Orthodox Christianity has been in a secret war with an organisation known simply as the "Order" since the Christianisation of Rus. The Order, which was displeased with how strong said nation had become, tried to bring it down, thus playing a key role in the downfall of the Byzantine Empire and instigating numerous wars and conflicts throughout world history. Moreover, the order took Judas' betrayal of Christ as an inspiration for their founding and it's implied to be behind the wizards' rising.

* CrucialCross: Ivan used one during the climax [[spoiler: as a signaling flare for [[CommandingCoolness Lieutenant Colonel Telegin]] to pinpoint and rescue him and his compatriots.]]

** Lt. Col. Telegin shows up in time to pick Ivan, Peter, Nadia, and Asya up when cornered by Kosch, [=McNagaina=], and several armed guards, thanks to Ivan's glowing crucifix, which was a keepsake from the Greek elders. When a NATO naval ship prepares rocket launchers to blow up Telegin's helicopter with the kids inside, [[spoiler:a fleet of Russian submarines surface to intimidate them into calling off the attack and retreating.]]

* {{Eagleland}}: As expected of a pro-Russian propaganda film, the American soldiers depicted in it are of the Boorish variety as they're in cahoots with HAOS, even sending a fleet of ships to protect their Global Congress from any Russian forces trying to disrupt it.

* FourEyesZeroSoul: Professor Saires wears glasses and is the headmaster of HAOS, therefore making him evil by default. Moreover, he is also the one announcing the Grandmaster's coming, calling the shots in the Global Congress to invade Russia, and turn all of its children into wizards.
