Steph:
Hagrid saying stuff he shouldn't is definitely a running gag, as is Hagrid collecting dangerous 
pets, including Grawp.  I was a bit disappointed there were no Blast-Ended Skrewts in PoA, 
but I suppose they thought one dangerous creature (Buckbeak) was enough.

Most of the others seem to center around Ron, such as his eating habits, the Weasley 
sweaters (note the vest with the big R on it in OotP), and his wardrobe in general.  The 
costume designers have to find Ron some truly hideous clothes to wear, and from the HBP 
photos that have come out, the trend is continuing.  Cracks me up every time, especially the 
ridiculous dress robes in GoF.
