Fake Drama

When a movie/book/TV show has a moment in which it appears that something dramatic will occur, but then the director(s)/screenwriter(s)/author(s) wimp out and pull a solution to the problem out of their asses.

Example:

Guy 1: Remember in the last book of Harry Potter when Harry dies but then somehow comes back to life?
Guy2: Yeah, that was complete fake drama.
