* The coda to the Aunt Marge balloon scene. As Harry stalks off, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Aunt Marge is visible bobbing and floating off into the distance. Brief, no dialogue, just some distant sound-effects, and it's one of the funniest moments in the films.]]
** While Aunt Marge is swelling up, a button pops off, hits Dudley square in the forehead, and ''knocks him down to the floor''. When he manages to get back up, ''it happens again''.
* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAH6XX_FJjY&ab_channel=HarryPotterClips the Aunt Marge scene]], as Uncle Vernon is attempting futilely to prevent Marge from floating away, he gets lifted off the ground himself, and so does Ripper (clinging onto his ankle). Then we get this gem.
-->'''Aunt Marge:''' Don't you dare!\\
'''Uncle Vernon:''' ''[Lets go of Marge]'' Sorry!
** The music immediately after this is [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic fantastic]]. As Aunt Marge drifts offscreen, it builds up to a final "duh duh ''[beat]'' DUH DUUUUUHH!"; ''the music you hear after a magician finishes his act!''
-->'''Uncle Vernon:''' COME BACK!!!
** The way Petunia just ''slowly waves at Marge as she floats away''. It's almost like she's so confused that she doesn't know what else to do.
*** FridgeBrilliance in that, for all her faults, Petunia did love her sister--after hearing Marge insult Lily at the dinner table, Petunia's face is about half "is there anything we can do?" and half "buh-bye now, don't come back too soon."
