* Harry, after [[spoiler:donning one of the cursed wolfskin belts of the Hexenwulf and becoming (temporarily) a werewolf himself]], realizes that the BlackMagic of the artifact is seducing him into doing and becoming something that appalls him, and ''rips it off and flings it away.'' Given the overwhelming and addictive appeal of BlackMagic in this series, given the fact that it was stated earlier that it was practically impossible for someone who'd tasted the power of such an artifact to turn their back on it, and given that Harry--weak, wounded, unarmed and stripped of magic--was ready to die as a human rather than live as a monster...this was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome from every possible angle.

* Murphy shoots a loup-garou [read: giant psychotic werewolf] with silver bullets she made from her deceased aunt's earrings.
** Right after, Carmichael, who has been the complete skeptic who has never believed Harry to be anything other than a con man, tells another officer about Harry:
--->''"He's the guy who knows. If he comes to and says anything, '''you listen to him'''."''
** Shortly after the above, Harry manages to drive the loup-garou off with a phenomenally powerful telekinetic blast that hurls it through ''three buildings.'' As one of the witnesses so eloquently puts it:
--->''"Damn."''
*** Arguably made even funnier by the fact that the guy was basically a [[UncleTomfoolery token black guy]]; the kind who stands around and says that things are 'whack'.
* Crime lord John Marcone, when trussed up and hanging over a pit as bait for said loup-garou, uses a knife his captors didn't find, and instead of cutting all the ropes and freeing himself, cuts one rope so that Harry and Murphy can climb out of the pit and away from the werewolf--though this leaves him in considerable danger. ''And'' he banters with Harry while he does it. Oh and does it in the dark.
** He's also ''hanging upside down'' while he does this. He doesn't just cut the rope, either- he ''throws'' the knife, despite all of the mentioned circumstances, and manages to hit the rope accurately and hard enough for it to work. Harry remarks on this achievement of Marcone's in his narratives a few times in later books, because it was damn impressive.
*** Speaking of Marcone, Harry's conversation with him in his awesome definitely qualifies.

* Harry pitches himself out of a moving vehicle, downs a hella-powerful pick-me-up potion, stands up, and then ''explodes'' a pursuing pickup truck's tires, sending it careening off the road.
