Ancient and Nobel House of Black (Potter, etc...) There is a cliche where people related to Harry actually bother to give him the equivalent of a 'Wizard's Studies class', which is like Muggle Studies only explaining to muggleborns or those not 'Pure Blood Nobels' How the hell wizarding society works to those not forged of it. You know the kind of thing that would make sense to be an early mandatory class... yet isn't actually existant without paying private tutors. Usually Malfoy's wife or Tonk's mom end up explaining how things work.
If said AaNH is invoked... Harry is automatically the cluseless head of said entity. I've never seen him be part of a fic with this cliche in it that managed to have him as a member instead. Usually its all populated by females and occassionally Draco.
Related is the 'Harry gets a wizarding lawyer' cliche in which Harry manages to hire, has hired for him, or gets appointed a lawyer who actually knows how to handle things with the Ministry and explains what is going on in court and with his legal rights.
Related to 'Wizarding Laws are Gibberish' which means that that the WLs are so twisted, convoluted, full of Pure blood are exempt clauses, utterly conflicting, prone to bizarre centuries old ultraspecific loopholes, openly conflicting to the issue you can 'win' legal arguments by countering every law and argument by pointing out the conflicting law and canceling them out like some kind of puzzle game.
Luna is the smartest cast member... she just loves screwing with people. Then again her dad does actually run the only other newspaper besides the state controlled media. So the Lovegoods must be doing something right.

Herminone is very, very good with crystal memory. she apparently memorizes everything she real (or tries to), its the Fluid thinking that gets her. She tends to actually believe what she reads as gospel truth. So basically an honors student. uncreative, but good at regurgitating facts. She gets better later, but has the printed word as truth as her major religion in the first books. Things like Harry finding the knowledge they've been looking for for months on the back of a trading card gets to her. The cliche is people forgetting this and her ending up with creativity on the level of her book learning skills.... or being little more that an in game cheat guide.
Fudge IS the Sheeple God of the Sheeple Nation. The Daily Prophet is Holy of Holies. The NPC cast members with believe anything and everything printed in it... even and especially if radically conflicts with itself. Even on the very same page. Often used when Harry is the Head of the Ancient and Noble House(s) of (X, Y, Crowbar) where Harry owns a majority share of and/or buys out the Daily Prophet... the excepted counter is the Ministry countering by using 'legal' bludgeoning or soon to be fired ministry shills to fight back against him counter oppression.
Romance, shippings, and pairings are a giant ball of issues on its own.
