*** Neville's reaction to Moody using the Cruciatus Curse. You can see upon a first watch that seeing the spell used affects him for some reason, and it's to the point that Hermione [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness literally]] ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness screams]]'' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness at Moody to stop.]] (Also, if you look in the background, you can see Seamus cringing and Hannah [[ShipTease (who would eventually marry Neville in adulthood) visibly gulping back tears.]] Note, ''no one knows why'' it makes Neville especially uncomfortable yet - but Neville's reaction is just that disturbing. We find out later, of course. No doubt Neville was imagining his parents in place of that screaming spider, just moments before the curse caused them to lose their minds permanently. [[spoiler: And we later also find out that the person we ''think'' is demonstrating this for 'educational' purposes was one of the people responsible, and subjected Neville to what amounts to its own brand of psychological torture, just to come off as friendly and caring minutes later so he could start the process of manipulating Neville for his ends. Barty Crouch Jr. was something of a TragicVillain in the books. In the movies, he's just [[AxCrazy full]] [[CompleteMonster bastard,]] and subsequent watches of this scene really drive it home.]]

*** ''And it gets worse.'' [[WhamShot When Moody uses Avada Kedavra, watch Harry's reaction as the camera goes out of focus from the dead spider in the foreground to him in the background]]. No one to this point has told him the details of what Voldemort did to kill his parents, and you watch him wordlessly put two and two together (several moments before Moody reveals Harry as the only known ''survivor'' of the Killing Curse) in real time. ''Jeez.''

* The torture and ultimate death of the whip spider Moody demonstrates the curses on in class, particularly if you keep arthropods as pets. She's given squeaks of agony, just to drive the point home, and Moody is lying when he says her bite is lethal; whip spiders are gentle, timid, and completely harmless.

** The MoodWhiplash makes it all the keener. We, the audience, have just come from a tense, scary, incredibly sad scene, with Cedric's death, Voldemort's rebirth, Harry almost dying at Voldemort's hands, and finally the ghosts of Harry's parents buying him precious seconds to escape. Harry and Cedric's body travel via Portkey back to the start of the third task, and everyone starts cheering and celebrating, jaunty music begins to play, because they don't know what we, the audience know. You may have even forgotten that all of Hogwarts was waiting patiently for a victor to emerge in this oh so important Tournament. And then the other characters begin to catch up to where we are, sadness and horror slowly dawning. . .

* Minor compared to other examples here, but the end of the argument between Hermione and Ron after the Yule Ball about her going with Viktor Kum. In the book they were both just furious and shouting at each other, but in the movie Hermione is clearly fighting back tears because Ron has actually really hurt her feelings. She's choking up and on the verge of completely breaking down by the time she's finished.

* Harry thinking about his relatives never hugging him, like a mother would, when Molly hugged him. Not to mention that all the while, Harry was fighting back tears over [[spoiler:Cedric's death]].
--->'''Harry''': I told him to take the cup with me.
** This is awful on so many levels, because while Harry doesn't constantly angst over not having parents, the degree to which that void is felt in his life really comes through in times of crisis. In fact, he's grown so used to ''not'' having adults in his life that genuinely cared about his well-being that the concept feels sort of foreign to him.
** And it gets worse; surely his mother held him like that when he was a small baby. He would understandably not remember.
* [[spoiler:Cedric's father]], who acted like a pompous {{Jerkass}} towards Harry in the book, didn't take the Triwizard winnings and also let him know that he doesn't blame him for [[spoiler:Cedric]]'s death.
* Dumbledore's speech at the end eulogizing [[spoiler:Cedric]]. Cho crying silently.
--->'''Dumbledore''': If the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.
* When [[spoiler:[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Barty Crouch, Jr.]]]]'s past is revealed, even though he's done quite a few bad things, you can't help but cry (especially when he's on trial when you find [[spoiler:how neglected he was by his father, whom later [[MoralEventHorizon disowned him and put him under the imperius curse]]]]. What makes it worse was when [[spoiler:[[AlasPoorVillain he was given the dementor's kiss]] ]].
* When dead Cedric asks Harry to take his body back to his parents.
* This piece is sad:
--> "And now another head was emerging from the tip of Voldemort's wand... and Harry knew when he saw it who it would be... knew, because the woman was the one he'd thought of more than any other tonight..."
** Depending on what version you've read, it's actually James coming out of the wand. The version with Lily is arguably more sad however.
* [[spoiler:Cedric]]'s death is tragic, not just because he's been a NiceGuy and WorthyOpponent, but because it's senseless. Voldemort isn't even killing him from malice, just convenience.
* Harry having to tell [[spoiler:Cedric's parents how their son died]], after the interview, [[spoiler:Mrs Diggory]], likely trying to think of ''anything'' to give some comfort to her and her husband says "He suffered very little then, and after all, [[spoiler:Amos]], he just won the tournament. He must have been happy." Then Harry tries to give them the money, but she refuses it.
* More of Fridge Sadness here, but Viktor's "person he'll miss the most" is Hermione, a girl he's known for only a few months. It's also implied that though he really likes her, she doesn't spend a ton of time with him out of loyalty to Harry. No best friends at school, no family members brought in- How lonely must this guy be?
** Very, most likely. He's most likely the target of a lot of people either being jealous of his talent and achievements, or so star-struck by his fame that they fail to see him as a real person... NotSoDifferent from Harry's own social situation coming to Hogwarts for the first time, actually...
!!From the Film:

[[caption-width-right:350:[[spoiler:That's My Son!]]]]
* Harry's parents telling him to let go. Even though it means he might not see them again for a long time.
--> '''[[spoiler:Lily Potter]]''': [[spoiler: Sweetheart, you are ready. Let go! Let go! Let go...]]
* The moment when Harry returns from [[spoiler:Voldemort's revival party]] with [[spoiler:Cedric's body]].
** The part where Harry is crying over [[spoiler: Cedric]]'s body and hugging it- and when Dumbledore tries to get a better look and gently move Harry out of the way, Harry responds by sobbing "No!" repeatedly and shoving the headmaster away, still clinging to the body. It's particularly jarring as Harry is ''unable to cry'' in the book.
** [[spoiler: Cedric's father]] screaming and sobbing "That's my [[spoiler: son]]! That's my [[spoiler: boy!]]" in utter agony, then rushing over to the body and ''bawling'' over it, ''screaming'' in pure despair and horror.[[spoiler: Amos's despair]] should hit [[spoiler:parents]] pretty hard.
** And Dumbledore's eulogy for [[spoiler: Cedric]]. Not just because it's sad, but because Kloves's version of the speech is nowhere near as good as Rowling's.
** [[NightmareFuel The scream of pure terror Fleur does]] when seeing the corpse of [[spoiler:Cedric.]]
** The shot of Cho's crying face [[spoiler:as she stares at Cedric's body]]. Say what you want about her in the next film, but in that one brief moment Katie Leung showed she can really act. Really, just pretty much everyone's reactions in that scene (particularly Hagrid as he gradually realizes what's happened after Fleur's scream) illustrate perfectly why it's the most heart-wrenching scene in the whole film series.
* At the farewell feast, the Great Hall's ceiling is not enchanted to show the sky. This isn't unexpected, as Hermione explained in the first movie that it's not real.
