Best Harry Potter Movie Moments
The best Harry Potter moments from all eight Harry Potter films. Not all of these moments are bad, some are sad, some are action-packed, some are happy, some are funny.I wouldn't give it first place, but definitely a good part in the story. It's where Harry finally realizes that Snape was trying to protect him the entire time and wasn't evil.
Very emotional moment. Snape was really the best character in the series. Harry comes to know that the man he hated wasn't bad after all.
When you find out Snape is the true hero of the story. He is still gray, complex, and misunderstood. His story is even more interesting than Harry Potter's.
Definitely! The whole atmosphere of it, the slow-motion bits, and the music tops it off! Especially when Harry and Ginny kiss on the stairs...
And then the house-elves and centaurs attacked, and I jumped off my chair and yelled, YEAH! (Books, by the way.)
The best part of all the movies! So much emotion, love, death, and action!
The entire Goblet of Fire movie should be here! The book is my favorite, and the movie is probably in my top 5! It had lots of action, adventure, mystery, drama, and romance, not to mention humor in the books (though not too much, as Harry Potter is meant to be serious).
Plus, we get a lot more Sirius, someone from Twilight sort of dies, Draco gets turned into a ferret (I like ferrets, though), we are introduced to different wizarding schools, expanding our knowledge of the wizarding world, and THERE ARE DRAGONS! DRAGONS! WHO DOESN'T LOVE DRAGONS?
The fight scene where the Death Eaters battle the Order of the Phoenix.
This is one of the, if not the only, moments in the movies where Harry performs an astounding, staggering feat of magic. The only other contenders I can think of are his fights with Voldemort.
Seeing Harry drive off dozens of dementors is a feat similar to the spells thrown between Dumbledore and Voldemort during their fight. I particularly love the moment where the camera is facing Harry's back, and we see Hermione just watching as pure light comes cascading off Harry's wand, to the point where it envelops his silhouette.
The part where Dumbledore and Voldemort fight each other.
The sad, but deeply moving, death of Dumbledore.
I think this is the saddest moment ever. This should be number 1. We can't live without Dumbledore.
When Harry Potter goes through a series of rooms and chambers to finally find the Sorcerer's Stone.
I think this is the best scene because it really shows how mischievous they are. I love how they get back at Umbridge by setting that firework dragon on her. This is an amazing scene!
GIVE HER HELL FOR US, PEEVES!
In the darkest book, right before one of the hardest deaths, Fred and George give the worst villain in the series a huge middle finger and deputize Peeves. That whole sequence is the most uplifting scene in the books, except for maybe the end of Chamber of Secrets.
Come on, this should be number 1! Draco was being such a jerk, and Hermione's like, You know what? If I smack you now, I can get three years' worth of revenge. Since I read that at age 8, she has been a role model to me.
I really hate how people pair Draco and Hermione canonically (I don't mind fanfics), but this is absolute canon evidence that there's no way she'd marry that loathsome, evil, ferret-like cockroach!
This should be number 2 because it was the best scene ever. Some girl power!
The Newcomers
I love Neville! It was amazing when he gave this speech in front of Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters. He is brave and loyal to Harry. I would most definitely be proud to have him as my friend!
At the very end, Voldemort breaks into Dumbledore's grave to retrieve the Elder Wand.
This is a touching scene! I love Molly Weasley. This is the greatest moment ever!
This is the best scene. It shows that Molly Weasley has some serious badass sass!
Totally badass! This shows how Molly Weasley's maternal instincts and love for her family have always been incredibly strong.
Hermione really needed Harry in that scene. I mean, her crush (and BEST FRIEND, also) had just left her! So Harry proved to be a true friend and danced with her.
Some people are shrieking, "SHIP SHIP SHIP!" naming their children and claiming they're destined to be a couple. But what about friendship? That's a pretty strong bond as well. They don't need to be a couple to comfort each other and to need each other.
I really hate how people perceive this scene as a romantic could-have-been moment to ship Harry and Hermione together. I mean
*inhales*
COME ON! Hermione's heart is already with Ron!
The way I see this scene is an emotionally well-put-together moment of two siblings comforting each other. It was a display of PLATONIC love, people!
The sequence with the flying car as Harry and Ron head to Hogwarts when they miss the train.
One of the most heartfelt scenes in Chamber of Secrets. Dobby is a free elf!
This should totally be higher. Dobby for the win!
I love this scene. It's so heartwarming!
I can't believe this is only nineteen.
When I was nine, my mum made me read Philosopher's Stone. After a few chapters, I developed a strong bond with Harry, and I loved it from that day on. I rushed to the second book, then all of the others. I couldn't imagine my life without it. J.K. Rowling raised me in a world of muggles, but in a magical way too. I could never thank her enough. Then characters started dying.
But Luna and Neville were my best friends. No one liked me, they thought I was weird. With Luna by my side, we worked things out. I loved Neville ever since the first book. They were the only ones there for me. Harry Potter gave me friends. And life lessons.
I can't describe my love for H.P. in words, I'm sorry. It's just my life. I cried for an owl. It gave me a strong bond with my teacher. At school, I read Hedwig's death scene and was uncontrollably crying. Then my teacher came and started crying too. People thought we were idiots for crying over an owl, but everything is real if you believe enough.
I love Luna. Then came the ending. I couldn't stop crying. I cried more for Fred, Sirius, Lupin, and Hedwig than I could have imagined. I could not believe it ended. My life practically ended. But Harry Potter will never be forgotten. J.K. Rowling wrote those books for a reason. She split her soul, and her soul will live in all the books.
In the cinema, I was flooded with tears. I stayed there for hours. Then a kid asked me what I was doing. She didn't understand me because she was just a kid. Then I looked at all my old photos and long quotes I had written and started crying again.
When I went back to school, I still cried. My teacher soon read the ending too. We were heartbroken. It could not have ended.
The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.
But I will have a place in my heart for all of them.
Always.
In my opinion, this is one of the best scenes in the movie. It was a reminder of how amazing the wizarding world actually is. And come on, who hasn't dreamed of riding a hippogriff as a child?
In the book, there's not too much about it... But in the movie, this scene is literally breathtaking! The beautiful visuals combined with the memorable music - I just love this scene.
I agree. This scene gives me goosebumps!
Why the hell is this not on the list? It was one of the most touching moments in the franchise (THE most touching in my opinion). I always cry when I watch it!
One of the best scenes in Harry Potter history. It's so sweet and heartwarming, I'm on the verge of tears whenever I see it.
She and he became such good friends, and they all lived happily ever after. This is just one example of how Hermione, Harry Potter, and Ron were great friends in the end.
