* Granny Weatherwax refuses to hand over a baby – the king’s heir – to the guards assigned to kill him.
* Magrat is the one who sets off giving three wishes to Tomjon. Granny Weatherwax goes along with it, because she sees that Magrat wants to help him. She considers Magrat a good person deep down, something she herself has to work hard at.
** While the three of them together can't agree on a suitable gift, each of them on their own comes up with something perfect by themselves.
* The first time Magrat and the Fool meet, she thinks of a million magical curses she could say... and the best she can say is "bugger." The scene is written in a way that humanizes and endears her.
* The fifteen-year kiss.
** The ''second'' kiss, which "only lasted fifteen seconds, but seemed longer".
* Just about everything between Magrat and the Fool. They are attracted to each other from first sight and they are both so awkward about it they feel oddly perfect for each other.
-->Magrat looked up guiltily. She had been deep in conversation with the Fool, although it was the kind of conversation where both parties spend a lot of time looking at their feet and picking at their fingernails. Ninety per cent of true love is acute, ear-burning embarrassment.
* Before Death goes on stage, he does a tap-dance to the theme of "There's No Business Like Show Business". It's rather sweet to see him start his fascination with humanity's creativity at this point in the Discworld saga.
* When the Duke stabs his Fool, Magrat, who’d been on cold terms with him for sometime, screams and rushes to his side. [[spoiler: It turns out he was stabbed with a stage dagger, but still it’s a sweet thought.]]
* While the argument between Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg counts as a TearJerker, what sets it off is Granny saying that Nanny didn't enable her children (girls specifically) to have magical capacity. As matriarch of a great family, though she's the only magical member of it, Gytha Ogg is a nanny and a MamaBear to her core and leaps to their defense like a shot.
* Another Heartwarming moment that doubles as a TearJerker is that when Nanny looks at Magrat and says her hair is a mess, Magrat bursts into tears. To give this context: when she last saw the Fool she said that whenever he stopped by she would be busy washing her hair. She's been waiting for him to show up so that she could put that excuse to work, but because he hasn't turned up, her hair was never washed. Slightly reduced by a definite Heartwarming moment: the Fool finally turns up at Magrat's cottage to wait for her.
