The Little Vampire / int_143c304b	comment	Vegetarian Vampire: With the exception of Gregory, the Sackvilles prefer cattle. Drinking human blood is technically cannibalism.

The Little Vampire / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The novelization gives out lots of details not seen in the movie, such as Lord McAshton finding his grandsons under their bed as per Tony's orders. This explains why he shows up at the Thompson house and asks Bob to kill their son.

The Little Vampire / int_21eb1793	type	Muggles Do It Better
The Little Vampire / int_21eb1793	comment	Muggles Do It Better: Rookery, with his glowing cross and radar, is a serious threat to the Sackville-Baggs and comes close to killing them several times. Human Tony and his parents prove much more of a match for him than the vampires. Tony and Rookery are also much quicker to figure out what happened to the amulet, since they are unaffected by daylight and have access to modern information.

The Little Vampire / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: Rookery assumes Tony is a vampire and nearly runs him down; later he traps Tony in a crypt with every intention of leaving him there. Nor does he have a problem hunting Rudolph or his siblings; in fact he's outright gleeful when he sees it's "only a little one."

When Tony, Rudolph and Anna find Elizabeth's tomb, they discover that the amulet is not there. Thatâ€™s when Tony has a vision of Elizabeth's final moments, revealing the location of the amulet.

The Little Vampire / int_9aaf8eca	comment	Crippling Overspecialization: Rookery is a definitive threat to the Sackville-Baggs' due to his equipment being the Vampires' greatest weakness. However, even it isn't any match against Tony and later his parents once they get into the fight against him, easily and quickly serving the Vampire Hunters' ass on a platter.

The Little Vampire / int_9f63d4f1	type	Our Vampires Are Different
The Little Vampire / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: The vampires drink human blood, but can survive on animal blood or â€” if necessary â€” eggs as well. They are afraid of the sun and it remains uncertain if sun light would kill them, since the psychologist's desensibilisation program is never tested in practice. A spear through the heart would kill these vampires (as well as any living creature) and they don't like garlic. Throughout the day, the vampires in this story are unable to move and look dead for the curious observer. Their powers include: Telekinesis (Clan patriarch Frederick can shut a door without even looking at it), super strength (Rudolph can shove a wardrobe in front of a door, while Frederick can lift a person by just two fingers under a chin), hypnosis, flight, and shape-shifting.

He later does so when Rookery shuts him in a coffin, and Anna, as promised, shows up to let him out. This became a Chekhov's Skill by the end of the movie, when it made the now-human Rudolph remember Tony again.

After he finds out they're not nightmares but things that actually happened, he starts having visions while he is awake too. Turns out this is because he has a natural mental sympathy to vampires, and because the amulet is concealed under the floorboards in his bedroom.

When his parents ask him about having his new friend Rudolph come over for a sleepover, he tells them truthfully that he already asked him. Then when his parents ask about having the Sackville-Bagg's over for dinner, he tells them that they'd "rather have you for dinner."
