The magic trunks, who could forget the amazing trunks that can do anything, it started with RossWrock (at least I think it did) and now they are in nearly every clichè story out there.

 

And not to forget misunderstood Snape and Malfoy.
Or the 'I am your father!Snape'.
Or random resorting.

 

Er doesn't the Peeve thread pretty much cover everything we could ever post here already?

 

Or Lily is a daughter of a squib and in reality the heiress of Voldemort/Grindelwald/Slytherin and many more.

 

And here we can gather the clichès so that coming Author's can see what not to do.

 

Azkaban!Harry gets imprisoned for no reason, then everyone finds out he is innocent, Harry gets send back to school where anyone begs him for forgiveness.

 

I know this story it's great. (Eppy is just plain evil)
Another clichè Harry becomes a god and then does nothing but worship Ginny.

 

Another one he spends the whole summer crieing over Sirius and then Ginny comes tells him what an asshole he is and as a result Harry falls for Ginny.

 

Hmmm then what's with Harry comes back to school and sees Herman in a different light, because she matured (meaning from "oh you're a girl" to "sexiest girl in Hogwarts").

 

Cliche: Ginny saying she understands what it's like to have Voldemort in her "head" since she wrote in the diary.

A)she doesn't fucking remember any of it, just randomly waking up in strange places

B)how the hell is point A comparable to Harry having to deal with feeling the guy's mood swings?

C)Ginny still breathing, period.

 

Ginny whoring through half Hogwarts before Harry "finds out" that he loves her.

 

But yet she's not a whore because none of them ever touched her "special place" she was saving for Harry, and he always gets with her.

I'm sorry, but if my girl has sucked off half the school, I don't give a flying fug if she's wonderful, a technical virgin, AND smart to boot, I aint trying to be with the school's Hoover vaccum.
