* The part where Fred and George comfort Michael after they find him crying alone outside of Umbridge's office after finishing detention with her. Cemented by them showing him the scars on their hands to prove that they've been through exactly what he has, and they understand his pain. A subtle but incredibly powerful YouAreNotAlone moment, one which also shows that the twins are more than just comic relief pranksters.

* Dumbledore stopping Trelawney from being sent away from the school. Prior to this scene, Umbridge had all of Trelawney's belongings packed up and set in the courtyard where most of the students and staff could see her. The poor woman begged Umbridge not to send her away and she smugly stated that she had the power to do so. Also doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when Dumbledore tells Umbridge that she has no authority over his teachers' homes.

Also doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when Dumbledore tells Umbridge that she has no authority over his teachers' homes. The grateful way Trelawney clutches at his hands as she passes him and Mcgonagall repeatedly patting her back to comfort her just tops it all off.
** The heartwarming moment is doubled when Mcgonagall is shown as the first teacher to comfort a sobbing Trelawney. Although their relationship is quite rocky in the books, seeing as Mcgonagall has a no-nonsense approach towards teaching and Trelawney is, well, the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} complete opposite of that]], it's nice to see that the minute Minerva sees someone mistreating her colleague (and former student to boot), she jumps to her defense at once. And when Umbridge sarcastically asks her if she has something to say, Mcgonagall angrily responds that she has ''several'' things to say, not even caring that one wrong word could give Umbridge some motive to kick her out as well.

* An easy to miss one- Neville says early on that his grandmother is completely on Harry's sidein the midst of his recent HeroWithBadPublicity status. Neville one would expect to be on his side, but it's touching that this woman who barely knows Harry believes him without a second thought.
** Made even better - she's not ''just'' on his side because she "believes him", she's on Harry's side because she has an mentally broken son and daughter-in-law because of it; she's ''lived'' through the last war, she's witnesses the destruction and devastation it caused. If it's true, it's better to be prepared ''early'' and minimise loss, rather than lose everyone.

* When the Aurors try to forcibly remove Hagrid from Hogwarts, he defends himself, but doesn't attack them. [=McGonagall=] runs down to them, demanding that they leave him alone at once. For her compassion for a friend, she takes four Stunning Spells to the chest, and Hagrid completely loses his shit at seeing this.
--->COWARDS!' bellowed Hagrid; his voice carried clearly to the top of the tower, and several lights flickered back on inside the castle. 'RUDDY COWARDS! HAVE SOME O' THAT-- AN' THAT--'

** What's more is that Madam Bones seems to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who treats Harry with respect even with Fudge there breathing down her neck.
** Also doubles as a funny moment, but Madam Bones also takes the time to check that his Patronus was corporeal. When Harry says yes, a good portion of the court are audibly impressed at his skill.


Added DiffLines:

* When Harry is attacked by Dementors, what is it that helps him conjure his Patronus? Just the thought of Ron and Hermione. No particular memory; just the thought of their faces.
* As the stories of the escaped Death Eaters circulate, Susan Bones finds herself getting attention because half her family was murdered by them. She sympathises with what Harry has to go through all the time, saying "I don't know how you stand it."


Added DiffLines:

* The Patronus scene in the film is beautiful, especially with the uplifting track "Dumbledore's Army" playing.
** Ron is shown casting his, which didn't happen in the book (though he did get there by ''Deathly Hallows''.
** Ginny successfully casts one too (likewise something she didn't accomplish in the books) to her astonishment and delight.
** Hermione's otter swims around her as she happily watches.
** When she focuses, Luna conjures up a hare that hops all around the room.

** FridgeBrilliance sets in when you realize that the vast majority of magic used for their Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes wares was probably Charms work. It's not specifically stated but it's likely that Charms was one of the O.W.L.s that Fred and George did earn. It was likely one of the few classes in which they ''did'' pay attention toward the end.
