- Regulus constantly picking characters from the The Pink Panther to use whenever he needs to disguise himself and Snape's frustrations with it. After Augusta Longbottom asks who the hell the person at the door is:Severus Snape: If I'm not mistaken thats Herbert Lom! Merlin's sake Regulus, is that the only film you have ever seen?
- Bellatrix waltzing right into her vault to get the Horcrux cup with no issues whatsoever and everyone else being exasperated that their elaborate contingency plans were not needed.
- Hermione upon being informed by Percy that there is not only a Diagon Alley and a Knockturn Alley but there is also an Uncondition Alley and a Horizont Alley.
- On a similar note their is also Hermione's reaction to finding out that the name for the top secret magical video camera is indeed the "Eye-Spy".
- This interaction between Harry and Lucius upon procuring the Horcrux cup of Hufflepuff.Harry Potter: Is that it?Lucius Malfoy: No Mr. Potter. It's an entirely unrelated golden cup that I found while antiquing in Paris.

- Jim Potter's pet snake, Steve, and his habit of speaking in surfer lingo.
- Colin Creevey proceeding to freak out Hermione by innocently suggesting transfiguration experiments with antimatter due to what he has seen on Star Trek without fully comprehending the potentially apocalyptic implications of said experiments.
- Neville's absurd and dangerous summer adventures which are only ever vaguely alluded to.
- It's known that the Fidelius charm results in some very strange effects on those trying to learn the Secret. It's taken up to eleven in the third book, when upon being told that Wolfy Wolferson has a recurring illness which has to be treated and renders him ineligible to be a suitable foster parent, Harry realizes...Harry: Of course! It's so simple! Obviously, Remus Lupin is a vampire!
- Snape's Advocatus calling him out on his Drama Queen tendencies.Advocatus: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because at the end of the day, you've always been far too in love with your insecurity and bitterness to ever look past someone rejecting you and wonder why they did it! And consequently, the idea that Lily would hate you forever because of a single insult appealed to that Romantic-Gothic persona you've been crafting since you were out of short pants.Snape: I have not been crafting …!Advocatus: When you first met Lily, you literally appeared to her from inside the hollow of a tree. Like Ariel from The Tempest except that you were ghostly pale and wearing all-black old-fashioned clothes.

- Harry's frustration with how his classmates seem to have all suddenly become hormone addled teenagers once fourth year rolls around.
- The way that Viktor Krum ended up playing Seeker for the Bulgarian Nation Quidditch team while underage qualifies. The actual Seeker for the team went and got drunk two days before the match and ending up riding through the streets on the back of a bear while naked and blatantly breaking the Statute of Secrecy. This led to his arrest. Of course there was a reserve seeker...who had interfered when he saw his teammate making a spectacle of himself only to have a fatal run in with the aforementioned bear. This led to the team turning to the still school-aged Krum out of sheer desperation.
- Blaise Zabini's reaction upon discovering that there actually is a spell capable of approximating a certain glowing sword-like weapon from a popular series of Muggle films (that he totally knows nothing about).Blaise (bursting into the room): I DEMAND THAT YOU MAKE ME A LIGHTSABER!Harry and the rest of the gang: "..."Blaise: ... that is all (sheepishly exits)
- Draco sees the Heir of Slytherin's writing on the wall and reacts just like he does in canon...except that Harry had earlier become very displeased with him and had magically compelled him to stop using his favorite Blood Status related insult.Draco: Ha-ha! Enemies of the Heir beware! You'll be next...enemies...of the Heir...whoever you are!
- The top secret meeting of the Unspeakables takes a bit of a turn when Time, the Unspeakables resident Cloudcuckoolander, misinterprets his colleague's complaints.Mind: Because, Time, I have spent six hours today exploring the wreckage of Rookwood's mindscape, and I'm bloody exhausted. And also, because the Wizengamot hearing is tomorrow. Some of us don't have the luxury of full time work here in the DOM, you know. Unfortunately, we have to spend half our days actually running the country."Time: Are...are you secretly Minister Fudge?Assembled Unspeakables: "..."Croaker: Merlin's balls, Time. Seriously! How the HELL did you get a job in the Department of Mysteries?
