History Awesome / HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban

** Once, when she beans Harry with an odd-shaped rock she remembers seeing to make him realize that they're about to get caught so they'll leave Hagrid's hut.
** And then distracting the werewolfed-out Lupin with a fake call to get him to come towards them instead because they're in exactly the right place at the right time and a werewolf only responds to the call of another werewolf.

** Even more awesome considering Harry and Ron had just talked her out of hurting Draco (she had him at wandpoint). She calms down and turns away, Malfoy almost immediately starts snickering, and then she wheels right back around and [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/dd9f5e7cb47580a2b14dd3fc4a1109e2/tumblr_my20y9Mkpw1sxvqgfo1_500.''cold-cocks him''.]] The only thing that stops him from ending up on his back is the brick wall behind him; his head even seems to bounce off it, knocking him awake.

* Hermione whooping as he, Harry, and Hermione fly away from his cell on Buckbeak.

* Over a ''hundred'' Dementors have invaded the pitch, putting hundreds of students in danger, and Harry succumbs to their influence and plummets from his broom fifty feet in the air. What does [[PapaWolf Dumbledore]] do? Stop Harry mid-fall, then conjure a Patronus so powerful it drives ''every single Dementor'' from the pitch. And according to both Ron and Hermione, he's [[BewareTheNiceOnes absolutely]] ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes ballistic]]'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes with fury]] as he does it. Not even the living embodiments of depression dare to mess with Albus Dumbledore.

* Over a ''hundred'' Dementors have invaded the pitch, and Harry is plummeting from his broom as their dark influence takes hold. What does Dumbledore do? Stop Harry mid-fall, then conjure a Patronus so powerful it drives ''every single Dementor'' from the pitch in terror of him. Not even the living embodiments of depression dare to mess with Albus Dumbledore.

* Like the novel it's based on, the scene where Harry realizes that he is the caster of the Patronus that saves himself is a pretty awesome moment for him. It solidifies for him that he doesn't need his parents to be heroic; he can be heroic all by himself like a true Gryffindor. The accompanying John Williams score, a soothing choir and the pulsating glow of his patronus certainly help as well as a triumphant delivery of the spell.

* Harry delivering a BigShutUp to Aunt Marge who cruelly badmouths Harry's dead parents right in front of him. LaserGuidedKarma kicks in when Harry causes her to inflate like a zeppelin and send her floating into the skies above!

** Bonus points for telling Vernon straight to his face that he won't restore her to normal and ''frightens him'' when he whips out his wand. Harry has made clear he's no longer taking their abuse sitting down, and spells out to them ScrewThisImOuttaHere.
*** This is especially juicy considering what happened [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets the previous summer]] where Vernon basically put Harry under unlawful imprisonment. Vernon even reminds him that he'll face legal actions if he uses any magic, but Harry just challenges his uncle to "try [him]."

* As Sirius is explaining to Harry, Ron and Hermione that Pettigrew is alive, he points at Scabbers and says "right there!"; before Sirius has even said it, Lupin is giving ''one very scary look'' at said rat.
