''(turns to the onlooker)'': Is a witch someone who would look round when she heard a child scream?\\

** Nanny, of course, would ''thoroughly deny'' [[MagnificentBastard having lured the child into the ring]] by use of a cunningly deployed bag of sweets at the crucial moment...

* From when [[BewareTheNiceOnes Magrat]] dons the fearsomely bosomy armor of [[spoiler:the entirely fictional]] Queen Ynci to when she confronts the Queen of the Fairies to get her husband back. As noted by one character: "[[BewareTheNiceOnes Magrat always was the nice soft one ...who'd just fired a crossbow through a keyhole.]]" When someone was looking through it.
** Important to note that [[spoiler:Magrat was convinced she was channelling the spirit of Queen Ynci... but it was all her.]]

* Magrat taking down the elf queen is pretty cool. What's even cooler is the sentence that gets her to do it -- the sentence that Granny puts telepathically in her head. [[spoiler: "You want to be queen?"]]

* After several books and comments on how Magrat spends too much time gathering herbs and magic objects when anything works just fine with Headology, she makes a comeback. [[spoiler: When Diamanda gets elf-shot, she's beyond Granny's help. Granny immediately goes to Magrat for help, because Granny knows that Magrat is an expert with herbs.]]

*** Or that she'd laid down the flash-producing protective circle, or arranged for Pewsey to toddle over and pester Diamanda's supporters for sweeties, ''precisely'' so that such a gambit could be employed if needed.

** She does the above holding one of Death's horseshoes. The realest, coldest iron in existence. When Nanny Ogg stops playing, you are DEAD.[[note]]WordOfGod is that Nanny is actually ''more powerful'' than Granny — she just prefers to come across as a jolly old woman, and leave the obvious bulk of witching to Granny.[[/note]]

* From the same page, nearly: A SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for a cat, in seven words.
-->Greebo went off like a Claymore mine.
** And that wasn't the most powerful creature he killed in the series.
** Contrary to popular belief, there are ''three'' states a cat in a box might be: [[UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat Alive, Dead, or Bloody Furious.]]

-->"One day." Nanny nodded. "Yes. I'll drink to that. One day. Who knows? One day. Everyone needs 'One Day'. But it ain't today. D'you see? So you come on out and balance things up. Otherwise, this is what I'll do. I'll get 'em to dig into the Long Man with iron shovels, y'see, and they'll say, why, it's just an old earthworks, and pensioned-wizards and priests with nothin' better to do will pick over the heaps an' write dull books on burial traditions and suchlike, and that'll be another iron nail in your coffin. And I'd be a little bit sorry about that, 'cos you know I've always had a soft spot for you. But I've got kiddies, y'see, and they don't hide under the stairs because they're frit of the thunder, and they don't put milk out for the elves, and they don't hurry home because of the night, and before we go back to them dark old ways ''I'll see you nailed''!"
