** Even more awesome: Among the spectators were all ten of his brothers and sisters, who had set out to meet him in defiance of their father's injunction against ever seeing Angus again. Elated to see them, Angus scored the first try and Scotland won the match.

* ''Ride/TheWizardingWorldOfHarryPotter'' at Ride/UniversalStudios is easily a crowning moment for all the designers involved as far as immersively rich detail goes, giving even the Ride/DisneyThemeParks a run for their money.
* The way everything started. A single mum who was living on thanks to food stamps, as she is riding a train, gets an idea for a kid's novel, one where the main character is a young wizard who has just discovered what he really is and that he is a hero thanks to something that happened when he was a baby. She starts writing it, taking care of her family on her own while she writes a book where she works out her idea and expands on it, and finishes the first book in five years. She presents it to several agents, and the second one she tried it with accepts it. After eight publishing houses rejected the manuscript, a publishing house by the name of Bloomsbury decided to accept it and offered the writer an advance of 2,500 pounds. Fast forward twelve years, and the book turns out to be one of the highest successes ever in history of books, bringing kids back to reading, gets six sequels as the main character (and its readers) grow up, it also gets versioned into movies which are also amongst the most successful ever, and the single mum has become one of the richest people in the world thanks to the books. If that isn't awesome, tell me what it is. All the publishing houses who rejected her manuscript are probably kicking themselves in the ass right now...
** The fact that J.K is still friends with Christopher Litten (then in charge of Bloomsbury) and is godmother to one of his children.
** Even more amazing thing is the latter books of the series are {{Doorstopper}}s, and the kids were ''still'' lining up for them even though the books look like the kid's lit versions of ''Literature/WarAndPeace''.
** There's also [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120205111619/http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=22 this]] awesome piece written by her where she tears apart society's obsession with thinness.
* The real world results of the books being published--[[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/03/health/03safe.html?_r=0 ER]] visits in children ages 7 to 15 on weekends in which Harry Potter books were released were half the average for that same weekend in other years.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Buchanan_(rugby_union) Angus Buchanan]], who in the Potter-verse [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy a Squib]]. Born without magic, he was subjected to discrimination, needing to learn how to dodge curses. When he didn't get a Hogwarts acceptance letter, his loving siblings helped him get in the castle, where he was rejected by the Sorting Hat. He left Hogwarts in tears and was disowned by his bigoted father. Sounds sad right? Well, he eventually found his calling in the Muggle sport of rugby, in which he achieved great fame. He then published an autobiography about Squibs and how they can still accomplish great things, to massive acclaim from Wizards. By the time of his death, he was celebrated by both the Muggle ''and'' Wizarding worlds, a feat not many can claim.

** Molly raised a family during the height of the First Wizarding War, and stood strong even as her friends and her own brothers were killed in action. She's clearly a gifted witch, even though she prefers to use her talents on practical household needs, she becomes a full-time member of the Order in the Second War, and [[spoiler: kills Bellatrix Lestrange in a duel because [[MamaBear she threatened her daughter]], delivering [[PreAssKickingOneLiner one of the greatest lines]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome ever spoken in the series]] before doing so.]]

** Fred and George founded Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a shop that becomes extremely successful in an extremely short time, and both of them became war heroes. [[spoiler: Sadly, only George lives to be called one.]]
** Ron, together with Hermione [[spoiler: whom he married]], helped Harry through all his seven years, particularly in tracking down the Horcruxes and destroying one himself while saving Harry's life. He's skilled enough at chess to have beaten a chess set Transfigured by ''[[BadassTeacher Minerva [=McGonagall=]]]'' at age eleven. He went on to become an Auror, mostly to spite those who said he couldn't, then left of his own accord and helped his brother George make Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes even ''more'' successful than it already was.
** Ginny led Dumbledore's Army during the hellish year of the Death Eaters' reign at Hogwarts, and only stopped because her parents withdrew her. She fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and survived, even though she was technically underage. She became a successful professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies, an all-witches team, before becoming a Quidditch analyst for the Daily Prophet. [[spoiler: Marrying Harry Potter is just the icing on the cake.]]

* Everyone in the entire wizarding world agrees on two things: One, Fudge ''is an imbecilic moron'' and two, Dumbledore ''is a badass who should be Minister For Magic'', so much so that they offered it to him three times (and note, normally people have to be ''elected'').
* Professor [=McGonagall=] is ''excellent'' at Transfiguration. She's ''so'' excellent, in fact, that she chose to study it all - including being an Animagus. She expressly asked Dumbledore to let it be known that she was ''not'' doing it to evade the law, merely just because she ''could''. Yes, folks, Professor [=McGonagall=] only became an Animagus '''''because she is a nerd.'''''
* While he may have wanted the position of The Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, Snape proved multiple times why Dumbledore gave him the position of Potions master by identifying, multiple times over several books, exactly how the students had screwed up their potions by just looking at it.

*** The fact that Arthur's job didn't really change that much. When he worked in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, his job was to prevent Dark Objects from finding their way into Muggle hands for their own protection. While to the Wizarding World this office was at best seen as boring, at worst looked upon with outright disdain, it became NECESSARY when the Second Wizarding War broke out to prevent opportunists from selling defective protective items to desperate witches and wizards in a time when their lives literally depended on them.
