   How does Harry Potter use tropes and clichés?

   • While this assertion isn't entirely inaccurate, Harry Potter often uses tropes and clichés to great effect. Foreshadowing is one of the most common tropes in literature and cinema.

   Can a Basilisk kill a person in Harry Potter?

   • In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk can kill someone just by looking at them in the eye -- fortunately, the only people we see who have encountered it manage to not quite look it in the eye: they see it in a reflection, or through a camera lens, or in a mirror, so it doesn't quite kill them.

   Is Lily Potter a loveable rogue?

   • Lily Potter is debatable, given that James Potter is remembered as a Loveable Rogue by some people and a complete Jerkass by others; but all the characters note that James had to clean himself up considerably before Lily would condescend to so much as look at him. Six-Student Clique: The D.A. group mostly pulls this off.

   • Evidenced by the fact that the ratings of the Harry Potter movies seem to be increasing with each sequel for a while.
