Balaur was pretty much a bird with the head of a dromaeosaur, differently from oviraptorids. Abd the fact that the Ovoraptor is a hybrid is just fiction-wise information, or else it would be just unclassifyiable.

Of course all members of a family are different. That's what separates them by genera. However, barely any of those traits contradicts with the taxon's they're in (except in Abelisauridae, which still sort of needs revision). The Ovoraptor conflicts with not only Theropoda, but Dinosauria as a whole, for being completely avian with no Reptilian traits. As long as it doesn't show up any, it's unlikely to be a dinosaur.
