Alright lag fixed. Sorry for the bother random internet people.

 

Re: eyes - you're correct about the books, but to be fair to fanfics that do this, it was used at least in the GoF movie.

 

Dumbledore knowing about the Harrycrux from the start.

Honestly, I could probably classify most subtropes of evil Dumbledore as pet peeves of mine but that one in particular makes me irrational.

Evil Dumbledore in itself I don't really mind. He has certainly carried out actions utterly inexcusable for a man working with children. Just make it believable.

Dumbledore is no mustache twirler.

Bonus content!

"Good" Umbridge. I've only been subjected to it once but I never want to see it again.

 

I know it's somewhat in character

but come on lol with some of these stories. Harry performs some fucking magic that nobody has ever seen before, and he's like "oh good golly gosh, me??? I didn't do that!? Aww shucks, couldn't be me. I'm too modest. Look how modest I am! I'm so modest! I refuse to take credit for this!!?"

The Black's Resurgence is an author most to blame for this these days.

I fucking hate it so much. Canon Harry was proud of his patronus charm. He was proud of his ability to defend against the dark arts.

He wanted to be the one to kill the Dark Lord. He told Dumbledore this much in Order of the Phoenix
