* Hagrid being carted off to Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit. Doubles as FridgeHorror as the experience scares the crap out of a half-giant who thinks a giant, three headed dog is ''cute'' and a young dragon makes an adorable pet.
** Just as bad is the description of Fang howling at the locked cabin door after Hagrid is taken away. Anyone who's ever owned a pet knows how upset they get when their owners are gone for a long time.
* Professor [=McGonagall=]'s heartbroken reaction to Hogwarts potentially having to close.
* After Tom Riddle is defeated, a very shaken Ginny comes to, sees Harry and the dead Basilisk - and immediately breaks down sobbing with guilt and confesses to Tom manipulating her, all while convinced that she's going to be expelled.

!!!Philospher's Stone
* Before meeting Hagrid, Harry draws a birthday cake with candles out of the soot on the shack's stone floor until Dudley's watch beeps. Harry looks forlornly at the cake, says, "Make a wish, Harry," and blows out the "candles".
* The Mirror of Erised scene in the first movie, particularly the point when Harry reaches out to the image in the mirror and realizes that it's only an illusion.
!!!Chamber of Secrets
* After Harry speaks to the snake during the duel all his classmates think he's an evil freak. It only furthers the rumor that he is the heir of Slytherin, a rumor he isn't even sure is false. He's a twelve year old boy and something he didn't even know about himself is now isolating him from people he considered to be friends.
* Ron and Harry separated from their best friend (and in Ron's case, burgeoning love) for months. Not to mention that Hermione is already established as the brains of the operation, leaving them even more scared and desperate.
* Lucius's treatment of Dobby crosses into KickTheDog territory given how unnecessarily spiteful it is. Hearing Dobby cry is just pitiable. This is what leads to Harry freeing Dobby.
