Incantatem''. Well, and a Transfiguration spell to turn part of its brain to acid.
** The RoaringRampageOfRevenge is a crowning moment for all three. Let's not forget that Fred and George managed to summon the Sorting Hat and pull out the ''[[CoolSword sword of Godric Griffindor]]''.
* The foundation of the Auxiliary Protective Special Committee in Chapter 98 is a crowning moment for each of the students and their sponsors, not just Harry. In fact, it might be Draco's first real [=CMoA=].

In the MOR-verse, where trolls are more powerful than Horntails, Harry never killed a mountain troll

* In Chapter 10, the raised by rationalist/scientist Harry meets the first challenge that is able to seriously oppose him mentally, [[spoiler:the Sorting Hat. Why? Because the Sorting Hat runs off the consciousness of the person who wears it, meaning that the Hat has all of his smarts but retains its own goals.]] The resultant battle of wits has to be seen to be believed, being both tense, intelligent, and hilarious. The crowning moment of the scene is [[spoiler:the Hat's last laugh, where even after failing to convince Harry to join Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, briefly declares him Slytherin before saying "kidding, Ravenclaw". This finally gets through to Harry the danger he incurs by relying excessively on his intellect without any consideration to his or other's wellbeings, and ensures that his stay in Ravenclaw will be properly tempered.]]
