* AluminumChristmasTrees: The line in third year when one of the Puffs theorizes that Sirius Black is hiding as a flowering shrub seems like an invention of the show, right? Nope. It's an [[ShownTheirWork actual quote from]] [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban.]]

* RealismInducedHorror: [[spoiler: Dying due to an instant Killing Curse - or Green-Light Curse - isn't really a fear of anyone. Dying before your time, just as the world seems to be looking up, with no guarantees that you'll even be remembered? That's definitely more scary.]]

* CrazyAwesome: This fits Leanne to a tee. She's seen throughout the show as a little insane and still obsessed with the fact that she's a wizard, but then in seventh year, she gives an awesome pep talk and manages to take down multiple Death Buddies before [[spoiler: dying.]]

While normally a YMMV trope, this is an invoked version so I'll be moving it to the main page if that's alright.


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The show is centered around this.
** Harry is less a troubled kid chucked into a war and more an InnocentlyInsensitive Chosen One who steals the spotlight and doesn't bat an eye.
** Draco is less a tortured kid caught between his parents and his conscience and more a kid deemed most likely to throw white wine in your face.
** Subverted with Dumbledore: while he's a lot more open about his [[MagnificentBastard plans]], he is [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire the literal definition of calm right now.]]

* NightmareRetardant: Many of the scenes that make light of scarier moments from the books or movies count as this. Try rewatching the first task in Goblet of Fire without thinking of the first task scene from the play.

Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: The dementor that shows up at the beginning of third year. In a show where the non-Puff school founders are represented by hand puppets, the dementor's glowing eyes and huge, bony hands are ''incredibly'' scary. [[InteractiveNarrator It even impacts the narrator, who is visibly shaken afterwards and shares Rolo candies with the audience.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The bathtub scene, while [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools hilarious]], definitely qualifies as this. It comes out of nowhere, is one of the few scenes without Wayne, and has almost no bearing on the major characters.
