I call it "plot by stupid" but TV tropes calls it idiot plot. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotPlot

Tbh, it's always kinda confused me why hp got such acclaim. They're decent books! I enjoyed reading them several times. However, I wouldn't call them hallmarks of fiction or anything.
