10[[folder:From the book]]
11It is quite difficult to find these in this book, but:
12* While reminiscing about his bond with Dumbledore, Harry admits that the idea of a young Dumbeldore is as alien to him as "a stupid Hermoine or a friendly blast-ended Skrewt."
13* Vernon's reaction to having to move out of his house. Harry notes with amusement how he's been packing and unpacking indecisively for days.
14** Dudley apparently adds some dumbells to his bag and didn't tell his dad. Vernon finds the added weight [[AgonyOfTheFeet the hard way]].
15** Later, when he tried to shake Harry's hand, he couldn't quite manage it and just starts pumping his fist beside his body like a cheap wind-up toy.
16** Rather like Mr. Weasley back in ''Goblet of Fire'', Dedalus Diggle is very friendly with the Dursleys and essentially oblivious to their hatred of any and all things magical when he and Hestia Jones show up to take them into hiding. This exchange is especially good:
17--->'''Diggle:''' Due to the danger of using magic in your house--Harry still being underage, it could provide the Ministry with an excuse to arrest him--we shall be driving, say, ten miles or so, before Disapparating to the safe location we have picked out for you. You know how to drive, I take it?\
18'''Vernon:''' Know how to--? Of course I ruddy well know how to drive!\
19'''Diggle:''' ''(thinking he's being very flattering)'' Very clever of you, sir, very clever, I personally would be utterly bamboozled by all those buttons and knobs.
20*** Hary notes that Vernon's already weak faith in his family's Order of the Phoenix bodyguards is further shaken by this statement.
21* The early scene where several characters are Polyjuiced into Harry Potter decoys, including twins Fred and George. The twins immediately observe, "Wow, we're identical!"
22** From the same scene, Harry's reaction to seeing all his doubles changing their clothes:
23--->''He felt like asking them to show a little more respect for his privacy as they all began stripping off with impunity, clearly much more at ease with displaying his body than they would have been with their own.''
24** Ron exclaiming (in a CallBack to a joke made in ''Half-Blood Prince'' about Harry's chest), "I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo," can only be topped by this moment after Bill offers to take Fleur on a Thestral:
25--->''Fleur walked over to stand beside him, giving him a sappy, slavish look Harry hoped with all his heart would never appear on his face again.''
26** Fleur, upon turning into Harry (with the real Harry ''[[ImStandingRightHere standing right there]]''): "Bill, don't look at me; I'm 'ideous!"
27** Hermione's innocent innuendo: "Oh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle!" and Ron's reaction.
28** "Harry, your eyesight really ''is'' awful."
29** Moody mixes up Fred and George, and they complain: "You can't even tell us apart when we're Harry?" Moody [[DudeNotFunny doesn't find it too funny]], though...
30** And later still, after George has lost his ear and makes his horrible pun 'I feel saintlike… holey', Fred's reaction: "[[LamePunReaction Pathetic!]] With the whole wide world of ear-related humour before you, you go for ''holey''?"
31* Arthur Weasley rebuilt Sirius's motorbike. Did ''he'' put the ability to ''fart dragon fire'' and ''throw a brick wall'' at people in his rebuild of it or did ''Sirius'', the ultimate troll, add them in when he owned the bike?
32* There's also Hermione noting casually that she's waiting for Ron's pants (underwear for American readers) to come out of the wash, and Ron's flustered reaction.
33* Harry tells Ron that he had a dream about Gregorovitch, but he doesn't know who Gregorovitch is, only that he has something to do with Quidditch.
34-->'''Ron:''' Sure you’re not thinking of Gorgovitch?\
35'''Harry:''' Who?\
36'''Ron:''' Dragomir Gorgovitch, Chaser, transferred to the Chudley Cannons for a record fee two years ago. Record holder for most Quaffle drops in a season.\
37'''Harry:''' No. I’m definitely not thinking of Gorgovitch.\
38'''Ron:''' I try not to either.
39* Harry going crazy with his wand after turning 17 and realising he's no longer under restriction, Summoning everything including his glasses to his eyes (he nearly pokes one of his eyes out) and trying to tie his shoelaces with magic (the resulting knot took several minutes to undo).
40-->'''Ron:''' I'd do your flies by hand, though.
41* Ron gave Harry what is essentially the wizarding equivalent of a relationship guide, and notes (and stealthily demonstrates) how useful it's been for him and Hermione.
42-->'''Ron:''' It's not [[InnocentInnuendo all wand work, either]].
43* Most of the wedding:
44** Molly Weasley's GreenEyedMonster reaction when Arthur appears to be getting ''just'' a little too friendly with Fleur's mom (who, it must be noted, is [[HalfHumanHybrid half-veela]] and some combination of CharmPerson and LivingAphrodisiac).
45--->“Dear lady!” said Monsieur Delacour, still holding Mrs. Weasley’s hand between his own two plump ones and beaming. “We are most honored at the approaching union of our two families! Let me present my wife, Apolline.”\
46Madame Delacour glided forward and stooped to kiss Mrs. Weasley too.\
47“Enchantée,” she said. “Your ’usband ’as been telling us such amusing stories!”\
48Mr. Weasley gave a maniacal laugh; Mrs. Weasley threw him a look, upon which he became immediately silent and assumed an expression appropriate to the sickbed of a close friend.
49** Gabrielle, Fleur's sister, ogling Harry and Ginny's unamused reaction.
50** Fred's "When I get married, I won't be bothering with this. You can all wear what you like and I'll put a Full Body-Bind Curse on Mum until it's over" — [[HarsherInHindsight until you realise how the final war against Voldemort unfolds for him]].
51** During the preparation, when Molly orders Ron to clean his room and he refuses.
52--->'''Molly:''' Your brother is getting married in a few days!\
53'''Ron:''' And is he getting married in my room? No! So why in the name of Merlin's saggy left—\
54'''Arthur:''' Don't argue with your mother.
55** The drunk relative trying to figure out if Polyjuiced Harry was his son.
56** Charlie, Hagrid, and another wizard getting drunk and singing about Odo the Hero.
57** Aunt Muriel (and how she looks like a "badly-tempered flamingo") and Ron's response to her.
58--->'''Ron:''' ''Nightmare'', Muriel is. She used to come 'round every Christmas until, thank God, Fred and George put a Dungbomb under her chair and she took offense. Dad always said she'd write them out of her will.
59** Hermione trying to kick Ron under the table and hitting Harry instead. And she kicked him so hard that he actually started tearing up from the pain.
60** Ron saying about Muriel, "She's rude to everyone" and George comes up saying "Talking about Muriel?" He follows this up with, "She just finished telling me [[CrossesTheLineTwice my ears are lopsided]]."
61** The descriptions of Ron's uncle and how he celebrated at parties.
62--->'''Fred:''' He used to down an entire bottle of firewhisky, then run on to the dance floor, hoist up his robes, and start pulling bunches of flowers out of his—\
63'''Hermione:''' Yes, he sounds a real charmer.\
64(Harry roars with laughter)\
65'''Ron:''' Never married for some reason.\
66'''Hermione:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You amaze me.]]
67** Luna's ability to instantly recognise Harry despite the polyjuice potion.
68--->'''Luna:''' Hello, Harry!\
69'''Harry:''' Er – my name’s Barny.\
70'''Luna:''' Oh, have you changed that too?\
71'''Harry:''' How did you know –?\
72'''Luna:''' Oh, just your expression.
73** Viktor Krum gets bewildered with Luna's antics, and seriously has no idea if Harry was putting him on when he tried to explain. There's also the fact that he was ogling Hermione, causing Ron to go all GreenEyedMonster, and Ginny when he realised Hermione's taken, causing ''Harry'' to do the same. Double the funny when you realise that Harry ''literally'' has green eyes.
74-->'''Viktor:''' What is the point of being an international Quidditch celebrity if all the good-looking girls are taken?
75** Also, when Viktor's ogling Ginny, Harry doesn't just tell him that she's taken: He says her boyfriend is a big, scary guy you wouldn't want to cross.
76*** The "big" part might be a lie, but would ''you'' want to cross Harry? It's not a threat; it's a BadassBoast.
77* When Harry goes upstairs in his house without telling Ron and Hermione when he, Ron, and Hermione are hiding there for a bit, they freak out and once Hermione finds Harry and calls out to Ron that she found him, he calls back "Tell him from me he's a git!"
78* Hermione's reaction to the title "Babbitty Rabbitty" in the book. Likewise, when Ron hears of Literature/{{Cinderella}}, he asks "What's that? An illness?"
79* "[[AccidentalInnuendo Erecto!]]"
80** Even funnier, this spell is used in order to ''pitch a tent''.
81* When Hermione is trying to choose which books to bring on the camping trip, she chucks ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Defensive Magical Theory]]'' in the rubbish without a second thought.
82* While the school is preparing for the final showdown against Voldemort, [[CrustyCaretaker Filch]] comes barreling out of nowhere screaming, "Students out of bed! Students in the corridors!"
83** To which [=McGonagall=] snaps: "They're supposed to be, you blithering idiot!"
84* Filch's response to being asked to find ''Peeves'' (directly after his above mistake):
85-->'''Filch:''' ''Peeves?''\
86'''[=McGonagall=]:''' Yes, Peeves, {{you fool}}! Haven't you been complaining about him for a quarter of a century?!
87* [[LargeHam Sir Cadogan]] shouting encouragement to Harry just before the final battle begins.
88* After Dumbledore tells Snape that he wants Snape to kill him, Snape responds, in full SarcasmMode, "Would you like me to do it now? Or would you like a few minutes to compose an epitaph?"
89* [[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU! COMPLETE! ARSE!]] [[PunctuatedPounding RONALD! WEASLEY!]]
90** Actually, Hermione throughout that scene! "DON'T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! GIVE ME MY WAND!"
91** And afterwards, Ron's sycophantic attempts to "get back in her good books," as Harry put it.
92--> '''Hermione:''' "Maybe it's something you need to figure out for yourself."\
93'''Ron:''' "Yeah, that makes sense!"\
94'''Hermione:''' "No it doesn't!"
95** In the end, Harry says things went about as well as could be expected, and Ron agrees, remembering an event from the previous book (Hermione attacking him with blood-thirsty canaries). Hermione gets the last word.
96-->'''Hermione:''' I still haven't ruled it out.
97* The EvilLawyerJoke sequence.
98-->'''Rufus Scrimgeour:''' Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Miss Granger?\
99'''Hermione Granger:''' No, I'm not. I'm hoping to do some good in the world!
100** Even more HilariousInHindsight when you find out where Hermione ends up working in the epilogue — as Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. And by ''Cursed Child'', she's become the ''Minister of Magic''.
101** This sequence also has Scrimgeour question Harry as to why Dumbledore might have left him the Snitch from his very first Quidditch game in his will:
102--->'''Scrimgeour:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext I notice that your birthday cake is in the shape of a Snitch]]. Why is that?\
103'''Hermione:''' ''(laughs derisively)'' [[SarcasmMode Oh, it can't be a reference to the fact that Harry's a great Seeker, that's way too obvious. There must be a secret message from Dumbledore hidden in the icing]]!\
104'''Scrimgeour:''' [[TheComicallySerious I don't think there's anything hidden in the icing,]] ''[...]''
105** Which leads in to Scrimgeour handing the bequeathed Snitch to Harry in the hope that it will magically reveal some greater secret left to him by Dumbledore:
106--->Harry met the Minister's yellow eyes and knew he had no option but to obey. He held out his hand, and Scrimgeour leaned forward again and placed the Snitch, slowly and deliberately, into Harry's palm.\
107Nothing happened. ''[...]''\
108"That was dramatic," said Harry coolly. Both Ron and Hermione laughed.
109*** It's Dumbledore. He's an eccentric man. Him hiding a secret message in the icing ''is not that far-fetched of an idea!''
110* When Ron complains that Hermione packed his old jeans and that they're too tight to fit his [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything wand]] in, she suggests [[AssShove somewhere else]] he could stick it.
111* Harry's annoyed, "Oy! There's a war going on here!" while Ron and Hermione are busy making out.
112* When the Room of Requirements is burning, Harry tries to save Malfoy and Goyle, leading to this line from Ron:
113-->'''Ron:''' IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I'LL KILL YOU, HARRY!
114* At one point in the battle, Ron pauses to somewhat reluctantly save Draco from being killed by a Death Eater and then not so reluctantly punches Draco into unconsciousness.
115* Percy saying he's resigning, [[DeadpanSnarker as he turns the Minister into a sea urchin]]. Cue ''serious'' MoodWhiplash about three lines later.
116* As Ron frets about how hard it will be to get past the Whomping Willow using the methods the trio employed in the third book, an exasperated Hermione reminds him about a piece of magic they have learned since then that lets them disarm the defenses from a safer distance.
117* When Harry wants some privacy during the victory party, Luna happily provides a distraction by [[BrickJoke pretending to have seen a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.]]
118* "You are ''so'' like Ron!"
119* Ron to his daughter, Rose: Thank God you've inherited your mother's brains.
120* Even almost two decades after the war, Harry still attracts a lot of awestruck looks from random people. Ron half-seriously tries to make his kids think those people are actually gaping at him and not Harry.
121* Ron brags about finally getting a proper muggle driver’s license and then privately admits to Harry that he needed just a little magic to do it.
122* Fleur's transparent attempt to break the tension between the newly-arrived Percy and the rest of the Weasleys by asking Lupin about how Teddy is doing. Lupin catches on and loudly announces that he's got pictures, desperately trying to shove them in everyone's faces.
123* After the past few, rather heavy chapters, we get some much-needed levity in "The Bribe" when Kreacher finally succeeds in bringing Mundungus Fletcher back to Grimmauld Place. First off, after Hermione disarms Mundungus, "[his] wand soared into the air, and Hermione caught it. Wild-eyed, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Mundungus dived for the stairs]]: Ron rugby-tackled him and Mundungus hit the stone floor with a muffled crunch." Then Harry, kneeling in front of the pinned-down Mundungus and pointing his wand at his face in a way that almost reads like a mafia enforcer with a gun, begins his interrogation:
124-->'''Harry:''' When you cleared out this house of anything valuable...\
125'''Mundungus:''' ''(interrupting)'' Sirius never cared about any of that junk--\
126'''Kreacher:''' ''(runs up with a saucepan and starts wailing on Mundungus with it)''\
127'''Mundungus:''' Call 'im off, call 'im off, 'e should be locked up!\
128'''Harry:''' Kreacher, no!\
129'''Kreacher:''' ''(stops mid-swing with pan over his head)'' [[ServileSnarker Perhaps just one more, Master Harry, for luck?]]\
130'''Ron:''' ''([[ActuallyPrettyFunny bursts out laughing]])''
131** Harry again tells Kreacher not to... but then says he'll allow it if Mundungus is uncooperative.
132** Later, the Trio ''immediately'' realises who Mundungus is talking about when he mentions she "looked a bit like a toad". This surprises and infuriates Harry enough that he drops his wand, causing it to shoot red sparks that set Mundungus' eyebrows on fire and Hermione has to put it out with Aguamenti, "engulfing a spluttering and choking Mundungus."
133* Early in the next chapter, the trio learn that Snape has been appointed as the new Headmaster of Hogwarts. Hermione [[SarcasmMode takes it well]]:
134-->'''Hermione:''' ''(reading aloud)'' "''[='=]I welcome the opportunity to uphold our finest Wizarding traditions and values--[='=]'' Like committing murder and cutting off people's ears, I suppose! Snape, headmaster! Snape in Dumbledore's study--''(she has a sudden realization)'' Merlin's pants! I'll be back in a minute!\
135'''Ron:''' ''(after she's left)'' 'Merlin's pants'? [[Main/{{Understatement}} She must be upset]].
136* Peeves calling Voldemort 'Voldy'.
137-->We did, we bashed em!\
138Wee Potty's the one!\
139Now Voldy's gone mouldy, so now let's have fun!
140** '''Ron:''' "Really gives a feel for the scope and tragedy of the whole thing."
141* The scene when they're about to leave the Dursleys' has some good ones.
142-->'''Harry:''' If you think I'm going to let you risk your necks for me—\
143'''Ron:''' [[SarcasmMode Because it's the first time, right?]]\
144'''Harry:''' You can't do it if I don't cooperate, you need me to give you some hair.\
145'''George:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, that's that plan scuppered. Obviously there's no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless you cooperate.]]\
146'''Fred:''' [[SarcasmMode Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who's not allowed to use magic; we've got no chance.]]
147* The goblins Griphook and Gornuk make a series of DeadpanSnarker quips about how it is an open secret among the goblins that the critically important Sword of Gryffindor has been replaced with a copy while the Death Eaters remain clueless.
148* Ron's masterpiece of {{Understatement}} (after the trio escape from Gringotts on dragonback):
149-->'''Ron:''' I don't know how to break this to you, Hermione; but I think they ''might'' have noticed that we broke into Gringotts.
150* One line that is normally a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome can become this if you imagine it right. ''"Our headmaster is taking a [[StealthPun short break]]", said [=McGonagall=], pointing to [[ImpactSilhouette a Snape-shaped hole in the window]].''
151** [[SophisticatedAsHell "He has, to use the common expression, done a bunk."]]
152* At Xenophilius Lovegood's home.
153--> '''Xeno:''' "Everyone always requests our recipe for Freshwater Plimpy soup."\
154'''Ron:''' (under his breath) "Probably to show the Poisoning Department at St. Mungo's."
155** Later during the visit, Harry notices strangely-colored smoke and smells the soup. He wonders if he'd be able to consume enough of it to spare Xenophilius's feelings.
156*** Luna lives at home during the summer. One wonders just how much of that soup ''she'' has had to consume. Of course, knowing Luna, she probably loves it.
157* During Hermione's telling of ''The Tale of the Three Brothers'', the fairy tale of the Deathly Hallows, Harry and Ron can't help but interrupting a couple of times.
158** Death's introduction causes the first interruption.
159-->'''Hermione:''' (''reading'') And Death spoke to them.
160-->'''Harry:''' Sorry, but ''Death'' spoke to them?
161-->'''Hermione:''' It's a fairy tale, Harry!
162-->'''Harry:''' Right, sorry. Go on.
163** Then Hermione gets to the part where the third Brother wishes for concealment to avoid Death.
164-->'''Hermione:''' (''reading'') And Death, most unwillingly, handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.
165-->'''Harry:''' Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?
166-->'''Ron:''' So he can sneak up on people. Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking... sorry, Hermione.
167** Later, as they discuss which of the Hallows is the most powerful, they end up all saying a different one: Harry the Resurrection Stone, Hermione the Cloak of Invisibility, and Ron the Elder Wand. Which leads to Hermione saying about the latter, "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's.]]"
168* The gargoyles outside the staffroom get blasted to bits. Doesn't stop them from snarking as Harry rushes past, though.
169--> '''Gargoyle:''' Oh, don't mind me. I'll just lie here and crumble.
170* There's something darkly hilarious about Fred's death and George's disfigurement when you remember that way back when in the first book, he and George enchanted snowballs to bounce off the back of Quirrell's turban, AKA Voldemort's face. It seems Voldy got his revenge in the end.
171* The random kid who tells Voldemort "[[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself Nice costume, mister!]]" just before Voldemort murders Harry's parents on Halloween. [[EvilIsPetty Voldemort legitimately considers blasting the kid]] [[DisproportionateRetribution with an Avada Kedavra for that]], but decides it's not worth it.
172* Before Luna and Harry reveal themselves from the cloak, it must seem to Flitwick and Sprout that [=McGonagall=] has just ''snapped'' and begun attacking everyone.
173* We learn that, after she continually pestered him for information on Dumbledore, Doge called Rita one of the ''most'' British insults ever — an ''"interfering trout."'' She tries to spin this as him being delusional and thinking they were at the bottom of a lake, telling her to "watch out for trout".
174* Potterwatch has plenty of hilarious moments, but most notable is the line when Fred notes that Voldemort can move faster than "Severus Snape confronted with shampoo."
175** Also, the bit where they explain that Voldemort is not, in fact, a basilisk and that it's safe to look into his eyes, since he can't kill you with a glance. [[CrossesTheLineTwice But it's still probably going to be the last thing you ever do]].
176* [=McGonagall=] summons three Patronuses and sends them to fetch the teachers. What forms do these Patronuses take? According to the text they are ''her Animagus form''[[note]]She marched towards the door, and as she did so she raised her wand. From the tip burst three silver cats with spectacle markings around their eyes. The Patronuses ran sleekly ahead, filling the spiral staircase with light, as Professor [=McGonagall=], Harry, and Luna hurried back down.[[/note]]. Yes, folks, only [=McGonagall=] can protect [=McGonagall=]!
177* When Hagrid shows up to Harry's birthday party:
178-->'''Hagrid:''' Seventeen, eh! Six years ter the day since we met, Harry, d'yeh remember it?
179-->'''Harry:''' ''(grinning)'' Vaguely. [[CallBack Didn't you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig's tail, and tell me I was a wizard]]?
180-->'''Hagrid:''' ''(laughing)'' I forge' the details.
181[[/folder]]
182
183[[folder:From the films]]
184* During the Death Eaters meeting at Malfoy Manor, Lucius makes it very clear that he’s afraid of Voldemort. When Voldemort asks him for his wand, he says “My lord” in a tone of voice that sounds like a pigeon and Voldemort simply imitates him.
185* When Moody informs Harry of the "Seven Potters":
186--> '''Harry:''' [[NoJustNoReaction No. Absolutely not!]]
187--> '''Hermione:''' Told you he'd take it well.
188** "If you sneeze, the Ministry will know who wipes your nose." [[ToiletHumour You almost get the feeling he wanted to reference a different bodily function.]]
189** Fred's reaction as Moody warns that Polyjuice Potion "tastes like goblin piss":
190-->'''Fred:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Have lots of experience with that, do you, Mad-Eye?]]
191** Given that Moody doesn't say ''no'', [[NoodleIncident we have to wonder when and under what circumstances he has]].
192** Moody gives a DeathGlare to Fred as a response. Fred awkwardly shuffles from side to side and says "Just trying to diffuse the tension!"
193** Harry is reticent to have his hair used in the Polyjuice Potion. Hermione just walks behind him and pulls some out. It's EnforcedMethodActing; Emma Watson did pull out some of Daniel Radcliffe's hair, causing him to wince in pain.
194** There is something utterly brilliant about Oliver Phelps' delivery of the "wind up a screwy, specky git ''forever''" line.
195** Seeing the various Polyjuice Potion users disguise themselves as Harry, mainly to see how Daniel Radcliffe emulates all of them.
196*** As soon as Fred and George transform, they look at each other and quip "Wow! We're identical!"
197** Additionally, there's the facial reaction that Bill gives when Fleur tells him not to look at her because she's "hideous".
198*** Creator/DanielRadcliffe. In a bra. That is all.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's Fleur Delacour after she drank Polyjuice Potion to turn into Harry, and then she took off the bra and gave it to Bill, ''her fiancee'', who looks visibly disgusted and unsure what to do with the bra while holding it![[/labelnote]]
199*** Made even funnier by the fact that in an interview, Creator/DomhnallGleeson explains that Daniel Radcliffe had trouble taking off the bra he was wearing, quickly adding that he was sure Dan knew how to take it off a woman. Seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0wMQ9nwXCU here.]]
200* Voldemort fails to catch and kill Harry. Some electricity pylons, however, are not so lucky.
201* The kiss between Harry and Ginny in Part 1, which George observes as he dances into the room with a toothbrush in the hole where his ear used to be. When the two break the kiss and look at him, he gives a sly grin and says "Moooornin'." All while sipping his coffee.
202** Even better, after Ginny leaves, George raises an eyebrow at Harry and gives him a [[BigBrotherInstinct look]] that's half-"Really? Now? Couldn't you have picked a better time?" and half-"Now listen here: break her heart and you ''definitely'' won't be the Boy Who Lived any longer".
203* When the group gets attacked while sitting at a pub, during the fight we look into the kitchen and see the attendant [[HeadphonesEqualIsolation just standing there obliviously enjoying her rock music while the whole area outside gets trashed]].
204* Harry sends Kreacher to find Mundungus Fletcher. The house elf does so, and returns — this time, with Dobby in tow. Dobby is hanging onto Mundungus's leg and he trips down a step; Kreacher, who was holding on to Mundungus's head, ''cartwheels through the air and lands on his feet'' and moves to shut the door, while Dobby ''throws pottery at Mundungus from the floor.'' One can't help but wonder just how many times Kreacher has been thrown through the air. One would assume ''a lot'', given that he was a house-elf to the family ''when Bellatrix was growing up.''
205** Even funnier: look closely when we briefly see Mundungus in the door - Kreacher has his fingers up Mundungus's nose, implying he just ''leaped'' at Mundungus and gave him no decision in the moment.
206* When the Trio are interrogating Mundungus about what he did with the locket, Kreacher starts getting into his face and poking him with his fingers.
207* Any of the Polyjuice Potion sequences — Harry, Ron, and Hermione looking freaked out in the guise of Ministry employees (one of whom is the normally badass Runcorn) and then Hermione-as-Bellatrix, trying ''so'' hard to look dangerous.
208-->'''Hermione!Bellatrix:''' ''[awkwardly]'' Good morning.
209-->'''Griphook:''' ''[under the Invisibility Cloak]'' "Good morning? ''Good morning??''" You're supposed to be [[AxeCrazy Bellatrix Lestrange,]] not a dewey-eyed schoolgirl!
210** The story behind this scene is hilarious on a meta level. To do it, they had Creator/EmmaWatson play the scene, trying to imitate Bellatrix's mannerisms, and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter trying to replicate the imitation. So, what we saw on screen was [[MindScrew Helena Bonham Carter playing Emma Watson playing Helena Bonham Carter playing Hermione Granger playing Bellatrix Lestrange]].
211* Just before going in the elevator, Ron, in disguise, receives some disturbing news. Apparently his wife is in court. He's actually quite worried about it. Until he's reminded:
212--> '''Harry:''' Ron, you don't have a wife.
213--> '''Ron:''' Oh.
214** Extra points: ''Hermione'' is in the elevator with them, and then later when she's forced to go with Umbridge, in that same court with his impersonatee's wife.
215** Shortly afterwards, they discuss what happens if they can't find Umbridge, only for the elevator to open with her standing right there.
216*** Harry awkwardly exiting the elevator when Umbridge asks "Runcorn" if he's not going to get out.
217** Ron has been asked to fix an office's water rune, because it is raining inside the office constantly. When he meets Harry again, [[EpicFail he is completely drenched]].
218** Later, a new addition that was not used in the book: Ron, as Reginald, tries to leave Mary Cattermole so he can regroup with Harry and Hermione. Before she lets him go, she forces a kiss onto him, unaware that he is in fact Ron. Ron's Polyjuice Potion chooses to wear off at this ''exact'' point, and at the same time the real Reginald--wearing only his underthings, seeing as Ron needed his clothes--finds Mary and Ron kissing. Ron then leaves the real Reginald and a ''very'' confused Mary to regroup with Harry and Hermione.
219*** Bonus points for the indignant look Hermione gives him when Mary starts kissing him.
220* Harry is searching Umbridge's office and finds a book titled ''When Muggles Attack''.
221* There's something darkly amusing about one of the wanted posters for Harry seen in the film. (It was included as a prop with the book ''Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Book''.) It reads "Contact the Ministry of Magic immediately if you have any information concerning his whereabouts. Failure to report will result in imprisonment." In other words, the Ministry / Death Eaters are basically saying that if you so much as ''see'' Harry and don't say anything, they'll ''know'' and they'll find you and arrest you. Their magic may be powerful, but perhaps not ''that'' powerful.
222* One you have to ''really'' listen closely for. In Part 1, when the radio reads off a list of the dead, among them is a person named [[FanFic/MyImmortal Ebony Way]].
223* There is a moment when Hermione is cutting Harry's hair just as she realizes how to destroy the Horcruxes.
224--> '''Hermione:''' [[EurekaMoment Oh my god!]]\
225'''Harry:''' What? ''(starts freaking out and feels the back of his head)''
226* After Ron returns to the others and Hermione is angrily stalking after him:
227-->'''Hermione:''' Where's my wand, Harry? Where's my wand?
228-->'''Harry:''' ''hurriedly backs away while very blatantly pulling his sweater down to hide it as he stuffs it in his pants' waistband'': I-I don't know!
229-->'''Hermione:''' [[FullNameUltimatum Harry Potter]], you give me my wand!
230-->'''Harry:''' [[BlatantLies I don't have it!]]
231** What follows for the next ten to fifteen minutes is Ron trying desperately to get Hermione to forgive him by agreeing to anything she says and being nothing but complimentary of her. Better is Hermione's look of exasperation whenever he speaks. She still loves him, but she's gonna be mad for a while. The bit culminates when Ron corrects her storytelling of the Tale of the Three Brothers, and she gives him a withering DeathGlare, like "boy, do you really want to try me right now?"
232* "Just keep telling her about that ball of light going into your chest, and she'll come 'round."
233* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYjupMRKAX8 Harry tries out the wand Ron gave him:]]
234-->'''Harry:''' (points at a candle) ''Engorgio''. [[OhCrap (candle turns into a geyser of fire, Harry points wand at candle, in panic:)]] ''Reducio''! (candle goes back to normal)\
235'''Hermione:''' What's going on in there?!\
236'''Harry, Ron:''' [[BlatantLies Nothing]]!
237* Dobby dropping the chandelier on Bellatrix.
238-->"Stupid elf, you could have killed me!"\
239[[CallBack "Dobby never meant to kill. Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure."]]
240* It's very BlackComedy, but after Bogrod gets roasted alive by the dragon, Ron looks on with dismayed surprise and can only manage to say, "[[{{Understatement}} That's unfortunate]]".
241** Prior to this, Ron can be heard saying [[TemptingFate "At least we still have Bogrod."]]
242** Later, as the dragon is climbing out of the depths of Gringotts and into the main bank building itself, most of the goblins flee from their desks except one goblin who stays put with the greatest look of "what the actual hell is happening right now?"
243* After learning that the next Horcrux is at Hogwarts.
244-->'''Hermione:''' We've got to plan, we've got to figure it out!\
245'''Harry:''' Hermione, when have any of our plans ever actually ''worked''? We plan, we get there, ''all hell breaks loose''!
246** This gets even funnier when you remember that in the book, the Trio spent an entire ''month'' planning the Gringotts break-in, and prior to that, ''another month'' planning the break-in at the Ministry of Magic. [[DespiteThePlan After seeing how both of those went]], Harry's reaction now is basically "screw it, let's just ''go''."
247* Harry has an important mission for the D.A.:
248-->'''Harry:''' Okay, there's something we need to find, something hidden here in the castle, and it may help us defeat You-Know-Who.\
249'''Neville:''' Right, what is it?\
250'''Harry:''' We don't know.\
251'''Dean:''' Where is it?\
252'''Harry:''' We don't know that either. I realize that's not much to go on.\
253'''Seamus:''' That's nothing to go on.
254* When the trio returns to Hogwarts, Harry and Ginny have a HeldGaze moment. Meanwhile Ron grins and waves in the background, then complains to Hermione about being ignored.
255--> '''Ron:''' Six months she hasn't seen me and it's like I'm a Frankie-First Year. I'm only her brother.
256--> '''Seamus:''' She's got lots of those, though. She's only got one Harry.
257--> '''Ron:''' Shut up, Seamus.
258** Even funnier when you notice that when Ron waves at Ginny, the shot is focused such that Ron is blurred in the background while Harry is crystal clear.
259* The heavy MoodWhiplash after the confrontation with Snape. You have a dark moment where Voldemort coveys a message to the students that they must deliver Harry to him. After a tense moment where the students look at Harry (Pansy Parkinson even demands someone grab him!), Filch ''runs into the room screaming about how the students are out of bed'', all while [=McGonagall=] tells him off that ''they're supposed to be out of bed''. Filch's reaction is priceless.
260-->'''[=McGonagall=]:''' They are ''supposed'' to be out of bed, you blithering idiot!\
261'''Filch:''' ...Oh. Sorry ma'am.
262** Makes it more funny since [=McGonagall=] rarely ever insults anyone.
263** In the background, Bill is clearly looking at Filch with a "I left Hogwarts ten years ago, and you still haven't changed a bit, have you?" look on his face.
264* After casting ''Piertotum Locomotor'':
265-->'''[=McGonagall=]:''' [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat I've always wanted to use that spell!]] ''(giggles like a schoolgirl)''
266** What makes this moment is the look Molly gives [=McGonagall=].
267* [=McGonagall=] is discussing plans with Neville as they walk towards the school grounds.
268-->'''Neville:''' LetMeGetThisStraight, professor. You're actually giving us permission to do this?! [[note]]Destroy one of Hogwarts' bridges.[[/note]] \
269'''[=McGonagall=]:''' That is correct, Longbottom.\
270'''Neville:''' To blow it up?! Boom?\
271'''[=McGonagall=]:''' ''[[SophisticatedAsHell BOOM!]]''\
272'''Neville:''' ''[with an "I can't believe we get to do this!" look on his face]'' Wicked!
273* The final payoff of the ''absolute best RunningGag ever'' with Seamus's "[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal particular proclivity for pyrotechnics]]", a RunningGag that began from a one-off line in the first book and the films ran with.
274** If you look behind [=McGonagall=] as she's speaking to Neville and Seamus, [[FreezeFrameBonus you can see]] Slughorn [[INeedAFreakingDrink taking a swig out of a flask]] as everyone gets ready for hell to break loose.
275* Neville's reaction during the final battle when Scabior takes that first step across the supposedly impenetrable barrier.
276* Ron [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat running after Goyle after he tried to AK Hermione, yelling "THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU NUMPTY!" A few minutes later, we hear him screaming, and the next thing we see is Ron running back while yelling "GOYLE SET THE BLOODY PLACE ON FIRE!!"]], grabbing Hermione and leaving Harry behind for good measure.
277** Ron's OhCrap face as he was running seals the deal.
278* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIEc-63MA4Q Voldemort's hammishly callous laughter]] during his NearVillainVictory.
279* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZW_dwd_WJY Voldemort hugging Malfoy,]] which is gaining memetic status, known as the "awkward Voldemort hug". It's even better when you learn it was ''totally unscripted''. When it was shown in theatres for the first time, it prompted a ''completely silent'' FlatWhat from most audiences.
280* Voldemort's half-second of visible anger management before he says, "Well, Neville, I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to hear what you have to say."
281* After Harry reveals himself to be alive and the Death Eaters attack, the great and mighty Lucius Malfoy looks around confused as his wife grabs his son by the hand and promptly leaves. He has no option but to trail uselessly behind, accompanied by something of a LosingHorns.
282* About 20 or so Death Eaters decide to leave the moment Harry comes back to life. Voldemort and Lucius can only look around in confusion whilst Bellatrix is screaming at them to come back and fight, it doesn’t work.
283** Not to mention Voldemort's YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe face when Harry reveals himself to be alive.
284* As the final Battle of Hogwarts begins, the Malfoys, who betrayed Voldemort to bring back Harry, decide this is an opportune time to calmly but briskly get the heck out of Dodge.
285* After getting blasted by Voldemort from the courtyard all the way back into the Great Hall, Neville comes to in the most serene and blissfully unaware way possible, while all hell's breaking loose around him.
286* Harry snarking at Voldemort while fighting him:
287--> '''Harry:''' Hey, you were right (gets slapped by Voldemort) when you told Professor Snape that wand was failing you. It will always fail you.
288* It's pretty funny to see Filch's useless attempts to sweep the Great Hall after the Battle. It's like seeing someone put a band-aid on a broken leg. It's a little sad, but it's after everything has been resolved and you know he'll be fine.
