    Harry finds out Dumbledore has manipulated him and all fo sudden Dumbledore's manipulation becomes so sloppy that even Ron sees through it.

    HAHAH :lol: :D :lol:

    Yes it could be put that way :p I don't speak for everyone but I think that it is more Harry realises(sp?) that he is being manipulated looks back looking for manipulations and finding them and looking at all possible outcomes of his current decisions. Can't speak for all fics though, this is just my interpretation of what most authors try to do.

    I have already posted anonymous death threats on FF.net to the people who write it...

    I just look at the summary and explain that I will remove their genatalia via rusty spoon if they continue to write.

    Anonymous reviews are SOOOO fun

    *only anonymous b/c I dont wanna get banned*

    I've seen this plot device used well in exactly 3 stories.

    I've seen it raped and violated in countless others.

    Or the another old one is that people think that Harry's brother/sister is the boy/girl-who-lived and Harry is therefore unloved or sometimes even tortured by his parents.

    My personal favorite... Lily and Severus have an affair and Harry is their Love child.

    Makes me sick.

    Course we all know Lily was a total crack whore.

    Or the odd harry is his own father. You know maybe the people who write these kinds will come up with a new plot twist. . . . wait . . . *shudder* so help me if Hary becomes his own father and mother *eye twitches*.

    Hey maybe we should write a new thread of what the next generation of cliches are gonna be with post HBP :)

    One type of story that really annoys me is the ones where Harry has a twin... The twin idea is so overrated... The most lamest ones are the ones where Harry and a Mary Sue or Gary Stu are the twins who lived...
    yuck

    Heres a cliche: Snape kills Dumbledore on top of a tower after taking an unbreakable vow.
