Can we honestly put the Harry Potter books in this category? It's 3rd Person Limited. The Narrator isn't actually Harry, they're just looking inside Harry's head and relaying his perspective, and the perspectives of the occasional other people we hear from. None of that is the Narrator misleading us. We are never once given the impression that the Narrator didn't tell us the truth about Harry's thoughts or feelings. Nor does the Narrator ever lie to us about facts they give us outside of Harry's thoughts.
