    I always found the whole azkaban fic dialogue a bit annoying after a while
    Ron/Hermione: "Harry you have to forgive us!! We're your best friends!!!"
    Harry: "NO YOU BURNED MY PARENT's PHOTO ALBUM!!!"

    though i must admit after a few years a miss a good old betrayed by all azkaban fic

    I hate it when the character has romantic thought and they think in their head.
    'Wow shes really pretty, where that thought come from.' Does anyone really think that.

    I hate the whole "Let's talk about Sally!" and then "Somewhere, Sally sneezed!" thing. Seriously annoying.

    Whenever a character says something that's just odd enough you can tell it's a lyric from the author's favorite song.

    Also, the DBZ effect. You know, where a character says something or does something dramatic and everyone's eyes widen and they always gasp and say something which could be easily paraphrased as "Wow."
