** Even cooler since Jason Isaacs said that this exchange was improvised. On ''both sides''.
*** To elaborate, only Jason Isaacs and Chris Columbus knew he (Jason) was going to say anything at all. He'd said to Columbus in an aside "Don't you think there should be a line?" and Columbus had encouraged him to improvise one, which he did. Nobody had said ''anything'' to Daniel Radcliffe. And then Daniel came back with his sharp riposte right out of ''nowhere'' and it became possibly the most iconic exchange in the entire film.

* Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy's brawl in Flourish and Blotts. For context: Lucius Malfoy says something nasty and racist about Hermione's parents in Arthur's presence. Arthur, who had so far spent the whole time weathering Lucius' insults about himself with steady dignity, responds to this by dropping everything he's doing and ''leaping on Malfoy fist first.'' Hagrid ultimately has to separate them. This [[spoiler: distraction turns out to have been part of Malfoy's plan]], but he does leave with quite a few more bruises than he had when he arrived.

--> '''Arthur''': We have different ideas on what disgraces the name of wizard.

* Any time anyone takes Lockhart down a peg. Lockhart's annoying, idiotic and egotistical antics all throughout the story make the moments in which he is struck down ''very'' satisfying. To be more specific;
** Hagrid's [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech rant]] about Lockhart after he pays his hut a visit to offer his condescending "help". Even though this attitude does bite Hagrid in the ass later, it's still great to know that someone can see through Lockhart's BS.

** The third and best example would be pretty much every teacher in the school (minus Dumbledore) reduce Lockhart to a quivering wreck, when all of his BlatantLies are thrown back at him and he can't dig himself out. The film adapts this sequence well, but in the book you can ''feel'' both the Professors' satisfaction and Lockhart's realization about just how badly he screwed himself over.
