3	* Frank Bryce is an elderly groundskeeper and war veteran, who doesn't trust the police even when intruders break into the abandoned Riddle House. What makes him decide to trudge to the phone booth and make a call to the cops? Hearing that [[WouldHurtAChild a boy named Harry Potter is in danger]]. He doesn't even know that Harry is a famous wizard child or a kind boy; he's a child in danger and needs help. [[TearJerker Too bad he gets killed before he can do anything about it]].
4	** He does, however, appear in spirit form to encourage a boy he's never met to fight the homicidal dark wizard.
5	---> "He was a real wizard, then? Killed me, that one did...You fight him, boy..."
6	* When Harry is about to enter the fireplace in the Dursleys living room to go to the Burrow he bids them goodbye, out of politeness more than anything else, and they typically ignore him. Arthur Weasley stops Harry for a moment and essentially shames Uncle Vernon into returning the goodbye. It's nice to see someone stand up to the Dursleys treatment of Harry for once and it really highlights how the Weasleys are more family to Harry than his last remaining blood relatives who've raised him.
7	* When Mr. Weasley scolds Fred and George for giving Dudley a Ton-Tongue Toffee that made his tongue turn purple and grow four feet long, their response is that they gave it to him for being a great bullying git ("isn't he, Harry?"). It becomes oddly sweet if you interpret the prank as the Weasleys getting revenge for Harry in a BigBrotherInstinct-ly sort of way.
8	** But of course they would- they went with Ron to get Harry early in ''Chamber of Secrets''. They saw the worst of the treatment the Dursleys doled out to Harry and aren't about to forgive it.
9	** In it's own way, Arthur's epic rage at the twins for said prank. He feels they did it just because Dudley was a Muggle, and the twins are slipping into the FantasticRacism that's becoming more prominent among wizards. Once it's made clear Fred and George pranked Dudley not because he's a Muggle, but because he's a despicable person, Arthur is still incensed, because he wants his boys to be better than that.
10	** When Molly finds out though Arthur immediately tries to downplay for the twin's sake and not to cause more upset between her and them.
11	* Malfoy telling Ron and Harry to keep Hermione out of sight during the riot at the World Cup could be interpreted as one in a twisted way. He's mocking them the entire conversation but he still basically warned them that Hermione was in danger from the mob because of her muggle-born status, something the three of them hadn't considered until he told them.
12	* The Giant Squid is described as the "bane" of Students' existence on a trading card as Ron hopes it will attack Krum, which makes it appear violent. In all actuality, the Squid has no intention of harming a soul and actually ''rescues'' Dennis Creevey when he falls into the lake.
13	* As Crouch Jr. demonstrates the Cruciatus Curse to Neville and he becomes disturbed, Hermione sticks up for Neville and screams for Moody to stop.
14	* Moody comforts a distraught Neville after subjecting him to the Cruciatus Curse in lessons, where Neville sees exactly what happened to his parents. He tells Neville what Professor Sprout thinks of his Herbology skills and lends him a book about the subject, which Harry notes is the perfect way to cheer him up. However, this is painfully subverted when it is revealed that "Moody" is actually a polyjuiced Barty Crouch Jr. who participated in the torture of the Longbottoms, and was basically playing mind games with Neville. Also he only gave that book to Neville so that he could give Harry the clue about gillyweed.
15	* Also, after being named the Fourth Champion, nearly everyone -- including Ron, Harry's best friend -- believed that Harry had somehow found a way to sneak into the tournament, just to gain fame - no matter how much he denies it. However, the next morning, before demanding answers from Harry or even mentioning the whole fiasco, Hermione brought Harry a piece of toast, knowing he didn't want to eat in the Great Hall with all the attention he was getting, and asked him if he wanted to go for a walk. Harry later told her everything that happened and ''"to his immense relief, Hermione accepted his story without question,"'' as quoted from the book - Hermione, thus, wins the "perfect friend of the year" award.
16	** Harry also feels a rush of gratitude after Hagrid believes him too without question.
17	--->'''Hagrid:''' No idea who put yeh in fer it, Harry?
18	--->'''Harry:''' You believe I didn’t do it, then?
19	--->'''Hagrid:''' Course I do. Yeh say it wasn’ you, an’ I believe ye.
20	*** This is even more heartwarming as Hagrid knows ''exactly'' what it's like to get unwanted attention - he's half-giant and gets it all the time. The only people who ''don't'' judge him for it are Harry, Ron and Hermione, and he repays it by showing that he's actually ''a brilliant friend.''
21	* ''Goblet of Fire'' showcases Professor [=McGonagall=]'s MamaBear nature towards Harry and how she's become a ParentalSubstitute towards him moreso than the previous books. She immediately believes Harry when he insists he didn't put his name in the Goblet of Fire, realizes that someone is out to get him and angrily defends him from Snape and Karkaroff's insinuations. She's also extremely distressed about his safety before the first task and is relieved and ecstatic when Harry passes his dragon. Even during the rest of the year when she's behaving in her typical stern fashion she's noticeably more lenient towards Harry and offers him all the help she can for the tournament, including giving him permission to look around the library's restricted section.
22	** [=McGonagall=] is the first to congratulate Harry after he retrieves the egg.
23	---> '''[=McGonagall=]:''' That was excellent, Potter!
24	* There's a moment before the first task that mentions how worried [=McGonagall=] is about Harry, saying that she's almost as anxious as Hermione. Considering [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness McGonagall's usual nature]], this shows how much she cares about her students.
25	* The Gryffindors throwing Harry a victory party after his name comes out of the cup. Sure, Harry didn't want it, but it's still pretty heartwarming.
26	* Everything about Harry's relationship with Sirius. Harry trusts his godfather intimately, despite having met him fairly recently, and Sirius returns from his comfortable hideaway to live on the run in Britain (which involves borderline starving) just to be close to Harry while he's in danger. After Harry's traumatic experience in the graveyard, Sirius is immediately there for him and stays with him like an emotional support dog while he recovers and recounts the tale to Dumbledore.
27	-->'''Ron:''' He must really like you, Harry. Imagine living off of rats!
28	* Harry takes it upon himself to warn Cedric about the dragons in the First Task, in a simple gesture of genuine, selfless decency. It's moments like that just as much as -- or more than -- the huge battles which make Harry a worthwhile hero.
29	** Cedric, right after this, apologizes for people sporting the "Support Cedric Diggory/Potter Stinks" badges and admits he's been asking people to stop wearing them.
30	** Made better afterwards when Cedric returns the favor by giving Harry a clue about the egg.
31	* After Harry completes the first task, Ron shows up at his tent, pale and horrified now that it's sunk in that being entered in the tournament put his friend in mortal peril. When he tries to apologize for not believing him, Harry tells him "It's okay. Forget it." and they grin at each other. Cue Hermione bursting into tears.
32	* Ron's indignation at Karkaroff's biased scoring with regards to Harry and Krum (Harry notes that having Ron on his side again is worth a hundred points), and then also Harry realizing that most of Hogwarts now support him as much as Cedric.
33	* After Snape says he “sees no difference” in Hermione’s teeth which leaves her in tears and she runs off, though their exact words are not mentioned, it is implied that Harry and Ron are defending her by yelling at Snape and calling him all sorts of insulting names.
34	* Viktor Krum's very honest, very sweet crush on Hermione. This is one of the most famous wizards ''alive'' InUniverse. A world-famous Quidditch player, with hundreds of admirers... and he wants the outspoken, nerdy girl who doesn't care one whit that he's famous. His feelings for her are strong enough that Hermione's the one taken into the lake as bait for Viktor, and later books confirm that they kept in touch and that he was Hermione's first kiss. (And in ''Deathly Hallows'', it's implied he still has feelings for her, though he takes it well when he finds out she's now interested in Ron.) We don't see too much of their brief romance, but it's obvious Viktor really, really cares for her. Even most Romione fans can't bring themselves to hate the guy and it’s almost sad that Krum couldn’t get this girl.
35	** Furthermore, it's just as sweet for Hermione. This is a {{Bookworm}} whose close friends can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and who, it's implied, has low self-esteem. Now here's one of the most famous people in the Wizarding World, who could get dozens of "admirers" just by crooking a finger...and he chose her, asked ''her'' out, treats her like a beautiful woman (which neither [[PlatonicLifePartners Harry]] nor terminally-oblivious Ron have ever done), gives her a (probably fairly chaste) kiss, and still keeps in touch with her later. How sweet is that?
36	** Viktor's awkward courtship of Hermione. Here he is, international celebrity, and he's lurking in the library because that's where Hermione often is, trying to work up the courage to ask her out. The book makes it quite plain that, when he's not on a broom chasing a Snitch, Krum's just as awkward and bumbling as anyone else can be. Nicely fits the "growing up" metaphor throughout the book, too... all your amazing skills and talents are no help at all when you want to try and talk with your crush.
37	** Viktor asks to talk to Harry alone. Everyone makes a big deal about how stupid it is for Harry to agree, since not only is Viktor his rival in the Triwizard Tournament, and could have used time alone to sabotage Harry for the final task, but Viktor is also doted upon by Karkaroff, a Headmaster who was once a Death Eater, giving further reason why Harry agreeing to be alone with him is a bad idea. But Viktor just wants to clear the air between them about Hermione, and the tone of the conversation implies that, if Harry and Hermione really are attracted to each other, [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Viktor will gracefully step aside.]] And ''that'' is how you gentleman.
38	** Hermione teaching Viktor how to pronounce her name. Viktor is making a genuine effort to pronounce a complicated name in a language he's not remotely fluent in, and Hermione isn't even upset at Viktor mispronouncing her name as "hermy-own and "herm-own-ninny" and even grins at Harry when he comes across the two of them.
39	* Ron is casually and unthinkingly kind to Dobby gifting him with a jumper and additional socks. He has little enough but is willing to share what he has.
40	* While the entire scene where Dumbledore, Hermione, and Harry confront Hagrid after he is outed as Half-Giant by Rita Skeeter is this, the part where Dumbledore casually mentions that many parents have written letters in Hagrid's defense is touching. It's not just that his friends love him, it's that many people who have known him do so as well that just makes it that much more awesome.
41	** Special points to Hermione genuinely telling Hagrid, "Come back, we miss you." It's been established that she actually (and understandably) enjoys Professor Grubby-Plank's classes more than Hagrid's, but that doesn't matter: Her friend is hurt. She's worried about him.
42	* A very small, subtle one. Harry has rescued Ron and Gabrielle from the Lake when "[...]Percy, who looked very white and somehow much younger than usual, came splashing out to meet them. [...] Percy seized Ron and was dragging him back to the bank ("Gerroff, Percy, I'm all right!")" Percy, who has always been seen as pompous and annoying, caring more about his job than his family, was [[BigBrotherInstinct plainly terrified for his little brother]] despite knowing Dumbledore would never have let anything happen to him.
43	* Before the 3rd Task, when the family of each Champion are supposed to turn up to support them, and Harry doesn't think anyone would visit him (the Dursleys certainly wouldn't even if it were possible for Muggles to come); Mrs. Weasley and Bill turn up to cheer him on, as if he were their own. Bill also tells Harry that Charlie would've come too if he was able to get time off from work.
44	** The fact that Professor [=McGonagall=] doesn't even explain to Harry that it's the Weasleys and Cedric matter-of-factly comes back from the room to tell Harry "they're waiting for you" shows that even they know that the Weasleys are essentially Harry's ''[[FamilyOfChoice real]]'' family.
45	* The conversation leading up to Harry and Cedric grabbing the Cup is among the most heartwarming moments of the series. Cedric, who was so popular during the tournament, giving up glory to Harry, who had been tormented all year long. Harry, who had held a serious grudge against Cedric because of his relationship with Cho, suggesting that they take it together. It was a beautiful moment -- and it made what happened next that much more shocking and terrible.
46	** It's even more poignant because, as it's pointed out in the book, Cedric is willingly giving up the kind of glory Hufflepuff hasn't even come close to in ''decades''. As is so often seen in the fandom, HufflepuffHouse has an (undeserved) reputation as the useless house, the "load o' duffers", the ones who aren't special or important in any way. Cedric ''knows'' that. He knows that if he and Harry walk out of the maze both holding the Cup, it won't be Hufflepuff that goes down in history; it will be Harry Potter, once again. He willingly gives up a chance to singlehandedly change Hufflepuff's reputation forever, solely because it was the right thing to do. He would rather give up the glory altogether than take a victory he doesn't feel he earned--He and Harry both saved each other in the maze, they both earned the victory, and by god they're both going to share in it.
47	*** Up to eleven when you realize that, in giving up unspeakable glory for Hufflepuff solely because he doesn't feel he's earned it fairly, Cedric is ''upholding everything that makes his House great''. Loyalty. Fairness. Equality. Integrity. He genuinely believes that he and Harry have won this tournament by helping each other, that they have both shown strength and skill and courage to get here, and that the only fair and honest way to end it is to claim victory together, as equals. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark You have to be a lot of things to make a choice like that]]; [[GoodIsNotDumb useless and stupid are not among them]].
48	** Dumbledore's eulogy for Cedric. The Ministry is desperate to deny Voldemort's return; Dumbledore knows that sweeping that under the rug will also sweep Cedric's valor along with it, and there's no way Dumbledore will allow that.
49	* Dumbledore comes after Crouch Jr. with holy fury, realizing his nature once he saw "Moody" separate Harry from him. Dumbledore was deeply concerned for Harry's well-being after the trauma he just went through, and knowing his trusted friend would never separate Harry from Dumbledore and then displaying such anger toward the impostor truly shows how much Dumbledore cares for Harry.
50	* [=McGonagall=]'s response after she, Snape and Dumbledore rescue Harry from Crouch Jr, which also doubles as a TearJerker. At first she's close to tears once Harry's out of danger, though she puts up a brave front in MamaBear mode. She notices how shaken Harry is, that he's got an injured leg that hasn't been treated, and whispers to him to come to the hospital wing. When Dumbledore ''overrides her'', she protests, "Dumbledore, he ought to- look at him- he's been through enough tonight-"
51	* To cap it off, she calls out Fudge for bringing a Dementor in on school grounds, for bothering Harry while the latter is trying to sleep after his rough night, and for claiming that Crouch Jr. was a "raving lunatic" when two people -- Cedric and Crouch Sr. -- are dead because of him. She's a strict professor, but you do ''not'' mess with students in and out of her House.
52	* In addition to being a huge tearjerker, the entire scene in Dumbledore's office where Harry recounts what happened in the graveyard. Throughout it all, Fawkes sits on his lap, like a therapy animal, Sirius is by his side, and Dumbledore is listening with complete empathy and understanding. It's here that Harry first really deals with the emotional ordeal he's been through, and although he becomes depressed again about it not long afterwards (as is only natural after all he's been through), it's also here that he first starts to heal. Made all the more symbolic by Fawkes healing his physical wounds with his tears.
53	** Dumbledore telling Harry he's shown bravery beyond anything he ever expected of him.
54	* Snape rolling up his sleeve to show Cornelius Fudge his Dark Mark, in hopes that Fudge will realize that this means that Voldemort is really back. Snape intentionally exposed his own past misdeeds in order to defend Dumbledore and Harry. It's also a strong indicator of where Snape's real loyalties are, since he could have just as easily passed for a servant of Dumbledore without making this gesture, while it would have been difficult to explain if any witness had reported it to Voldemort.
55	* The iconic scene where Dumbledore gets Sirius and Snape to shake hands. They may not like each other, but they both highly respect Dumbledore. It's a shame it wasn't in the movie.
56	* After Sirius leaves and Harry becomes depressed again, and Harry doesn't want to be seen crying (he hasn't truly cried in the books yet, and won't until the sixth):
57	-->''Mrs. Weasley set the potion down on the bedside cabinet, bent down, and put her arms around Harry. He had no memory of ever being hugged like this, as though by a mother.''\
58	'''Harry:''' I told [Cedric] to take the cup with me. ''(eyes and throat burn)''
59	* The Diggorys thank Harry for returning Cedric's body to them and explicitly do not blame him for their son's death.
60	* The real Mad-Eye Moody getting to sit at the staff table at the end of the book.
61	* Harry giving his winnings to Fred and George after the Diggorys refused it and he learned the two of them were swindled out of the money they won in the bet. When they protest, Harry points out he doesn't need any money, but he and the rest of the world could use a few laughs with what's coming.
62	* Hermione kissing Harry goodbye on the cheek, the narration emphasizing it was the first time she'd done such a gesture to him.
63	* The strength and hope that Harry and co take home with them at the end of the year (particularly in the film), even though the entire wizarding world is about to enter into utter turmoil.
64	* Harry offers the Weasley twins his winnings, demanding that they take them. They only take it when they realise that A) It's ''not'' charity and B) ''Harry thinks they'll be successful enough to invest in their future.''
65	--->"Fred - George - wait a moment."
66	--->The twins turned. Harry pulled open his trunk and drew out his Triwizard winnings.
67	--->"Take it," he said, and he thrust the sack into George's hands.
68	--->"What?" said Fred, looking flabbergasted.
69	--->"Take it," Harry repeated firmly. "I don't want it."
70	--->"You're mental," said George, trying to push it back at Harry.
71	--->"No, I'm not," said Harry. "You take it, and get inventing. It's for the joke shop."
72	--->"He is mental," Fred said in an almost awed voice.
73	--->"Listen," said Harry firmly. "If you don't take it, I'm throwing it down the drain. I don't want it and I don't need it. '''But I could do with a few laughs. We could all do with a few laughs.''' I've got a feeling we're going to need them more than usual before long."
74	--->"Harry," said George weakly, weighing the money bag in his hands, "there's got to be a thousand Galleons in here."
75	--->"Yeah," said Harry, grinning. '''"Think how many Canary Creams that is."''' The twins stared at him.
76	--->"Just don't tell your mum where you got it... although she might not be so keen for you to join the Ministry anymore, come to think of it..."
77	--->"Harry," Fred began, but Harry pulled out his wand.
78	--->"Look," he said flatly, "take it, or I'll hex you. I know some good ones now. Just do me one favour, OK? Buy Ron some different dress robes and say they're from you."

81	[[folder:From the Film]]
82	[[quoteright:311:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yule_ball.jpg]]
83	* Any scene with Cedric and his dad, which just makes it all the more heartrending. In particular the hug they share before the third task.
84	* When the Death Eaters attack at the Quidditch World Cup, Arthur orders everyone to get back to the Portkey and tells Fred and George that Ginny is their responsibility. Despite their goofing around, he has confidence enough in the twins to entrust them with Ginny's safety in a serious situation.
85	** Both immediately snap to attention when he addresses them and before he even finishes speaking, Fred has already taken Ginny's hand, pulled her close, and wrapped his arm around her.
86	* In a deleted scene, the students are forced to sing the school song, to everyone’s embarrassment except for Crabbe’s. Crabbe looks at Draco who whilst enthusiastically singing and Draco gives his friend a (mostly sarcastic) supportive nod. At least Draco doesn’t pull him down like last time.
87	* A quick but still touching one: When Harry's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire all of the teachers including Snape and Dumbledore are watching Harry looking perplexed, troubled or vaguely suspicious. [=McGonagall=] instead puts a comforting hand on his shoulder and nods reassuringly, looking visibly distressed as he leaves.
88	* Sirius instantly believes that Harry ''didn't'' put his name in the Goblet of Fire, when they're talking in the fireplace.
89	* Hermione's whole relationship with Harry. It really cements their whole LikeBrotherAndSister dynamic, the way she gives him advice and tries to comfort him during the tournament, and moments where, with anyone else, it would seem romantic, but with these two, it's just to show how much they care about each other. Case in point, just before the first task, Hermione is talking to Harry between the tent doorway, trying to give him advice.
90	-->'''Hermione:''' The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to-\
91	'''Harry:''' Battle a dragon.\
92	''{{Beat}}. Hermione suddenly starts sobbing and comes through the doorway to hug him.''
93	* Viktor Krum telling Rita Skeeter to leave the tent when she bothers Harry and Hermione.
94	-->'''Viktor:''' You have no business here. This tent is for champions, and friends.
95	** It's especially nice because Hermione was in the tent, and it could've looked bad (even ignoring Rita's influence), but Viktor knows full well she's only there to comfort Harry. It's Krum's way of saying, "Hey assholes, Hermione can be here, but you can't.", even though the situation has nothing to do with him. It's also completely in character for book Krum despite the fact that he doesn't do this in the book.
96	* All the students are being taught to dance for the Yule Ball, and while the girls are all eager, none of the boys leave their seats. Then you see Neville hesitate (clearly trying to work up the nerve) before getting up to dance. Later, we see Harry and Ron entering the Gryffindor dormitory to find Neville, in his pajamas and dancing shoes, practicing the waltz by himself, humming a tune as he goes. Even later than that, after the party, Neville comes back later than everyone else, still humming and twirling round.
97	** To some, the fact that Steve Kloves removed the part of Neville first asking Hermione and being taken by Ginny as a sympathy date makes the whole thing really sweet, as it implies that he was genuinely excited about going with Ginny and that even a nerd like him could get a date.
98	* Ron, in shock, is helped back into the common room by Ginny and about four other girls, presumably from her year. Since Ginny was there when he "sort of screamed" at Fleur, it's implied she went after him to see if he was okay.
99	** It's also kind of sweet to see a few other Gryffindor students watching Ron sympathetically behind Harry and Hermione.
100	* In the background of the Yule Ball scene in the movie, [[ThoseTwoGuys Dean and Seamus]] [[HoYay are seen]] [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0lnutET421r3zat8.gif dancing together]] and clearly having the time of their lives, while [[ShipperOnDeck Hermione smiles in the background.]] Whether you ship it or not, it's adorable.
101	* Fleur's reaction to Harry having saved her sister really serves to humanize her character; despite getting almost no lines in the film, Creator/ClemencePoesy did a wonderful job in that one small moment.
102	-->'''Fleur:''' ''(In tears)'' You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister. Thank you! ''(Kisses Harry on both cheeks and stands to face Ron.)'' And you. You helped!\
103	'''Ron:''' Well...yeah, a bit.\
104	''(Fleur giggles and kisses Ron on both cheeks before walking away, leaving him stunned.)''\
105	'''Ron:''' ''(Under his breath)'' Merci.
106	** Hermione wrapping Harry with her towel and giving him a kiss on the head.
107	* Unlike the book, in which [=McGonagall=] dances with Ludo Bagman while Dumbledore dances with Professor Sprout and Madame Maxime, neither of whom he interacts with much, Dumbledore and [=McGonagall=] share a dance here.
108	* During the Yule Ball, Flich is shown dancing with his cat Mrs. Norris. While played for laughs it's also really quite adorable and shows how much he loves his cat.
109	* During the Graveyard scene, before the NightmareFuel starts, Harry starts realizing something is wrong and goes OhCrap when he sees a gravestone with the name Tom Riddle on it. He tells Cedric they need to get back to the Portkey. Then his scar acts up as a hooded figure approaches him and Cedric; Harry screams at Cedric to run for the cup and save himself, sensing who the figure is. Cedric, in turn, refuses to leave him and points his wand at the figure. Segueing into a TearJerker, Harry releases a BigNo when he hears Voldemort order, ''Kill the spare''. He really did consider Cedric his friend.
110	* After the two of them are transported to the graveyard, Harry's scar begins bursting with pain and he collapses. Cedric immediately drops down to ask him what's wrong and, upon seeing a mysterious figure approaching, stands up and takes out his wand to defend himself and Harry. Too bad there was nothing he could do to block the Killing curse.
111	* When all the spirits of people killed with Voldemort's wand emerge and attack him, ''Lily's'' is the first to reach him to give Harry time to escape; once again, Voldemort is beaten by a mother. Her words hurt quite a bit too, because she knows her son won't see her again.
112	-->'''Lily:''' Sweetheart, you're ready. Let go. Let go!
113	* Snape and [=McGonagall=] both realise what's happened when Cedric and Harry return; [=McGonagall=] puts her hand to her head in shock at that fact that a student has ''died'' and Snape awkwardly looks around, not really knowing what to do, but is just as equally horrified.
114	** Blink and you'll miss it, but Snape actually puts a hand on Dumbledore's shoulder.
115	* Dumbledore at first grabs Harry's shoulders and tries to pull him back to check on him. When Harry refuses to let go of Cedric, he comes around in front of Harry so he can speak to him without upsetting him further. It's a small moment but touching in that Dumbledore tries to avoid causing Harry more distress.
116	* It's a bit blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but in the background of the scene where Fudge is convincing Dumbledore to move Cedric's body to a more remote location, one of Cho's friends--probably Roger Davies, judging from the hairstyle--can be seen hugging and comforting her as she sobs. Considering how Cho was ostracized in the fifth book for being "too weepy" after Cedric's death, it's nice to know that not all of Ravenclaw House turned its back on her.
117	* [=McGonagall=] gets ''three'' in one scene. She's less than a footfall behind Dumbledore as they burst in on Harry and Moody, she holds an arm out protectively when Harry passes her and ''she'' is the one to hold Barty Crouch Jr at wand's length when he lunges for Harry.
118	** Just like in the book, the film shows [=McGonagall=] as a ParentalSubstitute and MamaBear to Harry.
119	-->'''[=McGonagall=]:''' ''(After Snape suggests that they do make Harry compete)'' Potter is a boy, not a piece of meat!
120	* Dumbledore talking to Harry after the end of the end of year feast ("Remember Cedric") about how he has friends at Hogwarts and isn't alone... then lightly brushes his cheek with his hand on his way out of the room. Dumbledore was rather out-of-character earlier in the film ("HARRY DID YA PUT YA NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE??") but that bit right there helped make up for it.
121	* At the end, thanks to the way the four champions treated each other, old ties were rebuilt, old differences were forgotten, and everyone had more respect for each other. The Triwizard Tournament may have ended in tragedy, but ultimately the goal of bringing people together worked out.
122	* It's very easy to miss, but Mr. Weasley can be seen cheering and hugging Mr. Diggory when Harry first arrives back at Hogwarts from the graveyard. As far as they knew, [[FamilyOfChoice both of their sons]] just won the Triwizard Tournament.[[note]]In the book, it was Mrs. Weasley and Bill who showed up as Harry's family.[[/note]]
