Funny the Damage a Silly Little Book Can Do in the Book
Book
- Ginny is a Shrinking Violet who barely speaks upward in Harry's presence. Then Malfoy tries to taunt Harry at Flourish and Blotts. Ginny confronts him and tells him to leave Harry alone.
- Harry and Ron driving a flying car to Hogwarts.
- In the dueling club. Lockhart'southward been talking not-finish with his usual self-importance and highly-inflated opinion of himself... and and then he asks Snape to help him demonstrate a duel. Snape (who at this point has only been standing back and letting Lockhart brand a fool of himself) casts Expelliarmus and not only disarms him, but smashes him into a wall — and what's even better, he really impresses Harry "I hate them both. Malfoy and Snape" Potter. And, of course, gives Harry his signature spell.
- Not to mention that this short-lived grouping, as incompetent equally Lockhart was, might have served somewhat as the inspiration for Dumbledore'due south Army.
- Harry in the Bedroom of Secrets.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech Harry gives Riddle is pretty damn awesome, especially when it cuts through Riddle's "greater than grand" attitude and makes him gnash his teeth in fury:
Harry: Sorry to disappoint you and all that, but the greatest wizard in the world is Albus Dumbledore. Everyone says then. Even when you were strong, you didn't cartel try and take over at Hogwarts. Dumbledore saw through you when yous were at school and he even so frightens yous at present, wherever you're hiding these days... I've seen the real you lot, I saw you concluding yr. You're a wreck. Y'all're barely alive. That's where all your ability got you. You're in hiding. Y'all're ugly, y'all're foul -
- Tom Riddle sneered that all Dumbledore could give Harry was "a songbird and an onetime hat". However, information technology was those two things that guaranteed Harry'due south victory against the Basilisk.
- Phoenix vs. Basilisk. And the crown goes non to the 60-foot serpent with the killing stare, information technology goes to the "songbird".
- Harry telling off Tom Riddle most how his "filthy Mudblood mother" saved him, then killing off the basilisk and stabbing Riddle's diary.
- Mrs. Weasley'southward Howler definitely counts.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech Harry gives Riddle is pretty damn awesome, especially when it cuts through Riddle's "greater than grand" attitude and makes him gnash his teeth in fury:
- Dobby pwning Lucius Malfoy: "You shall non harm Harry Potter!"
There was a loud bang, and Mr. Malfoy was thrown backward. He crashed down the stairs, three at a fourth dimension, landing in a crumpled heap on the landing below. He got upwards, his face up livid, and pulled out his wand, just Dobby raised a long, threatening finger.
"You shall go now," he said fiercely, pointing down at Mr. Malfoy. "You shall not touch Harry Potter. Yous shall get now."
Lucius Malfoy had no selection. With a last, incensed stare at the pair of them, he swung his cloak around him and hurried out of sight.
- All of Mrs. Weasley'due south sons were taller than her, but they cowered as her rage broke over them. It'southward a sign of things to come up.
- When the basilisk emerges out of the statue's mouth, ready for battle.
- We are introduced to the "songbird" first as Dumbledore's dying pet, then a feeble newborn. Months later, it reminds us that it is in fact, an immortal legend and one of the main reasons why Harry survives for and so long. Giving two of his tail feathers rather than one protects Harry from Voldemort once he overcomes the shield on Harry, saving him from a Basilisk by intercepting its attack, blinding information technology and healing its venom, helping Dumbledore await after Harry...
- Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy'due south brawl in Flourish and Blotts. For context: Lucius Malfoy says something nasty and racist about Hermione's parents in Arthur's presence. Arthur, who had and so far spent the whole time weathering Lucius' insults about himself with steady nobility, responds to this past dropping everything he's doing and leaping on Malfoy fist first. Hagrid ultimately has to divide them. This distraction turns out to have been part of Malfoy's plan, but he does go out with quite a few more bruises than he had when he arrived. And for his part, Lucius does pretty well in fisticuffs likewise.
- Too this exchange:
Lucius: What is the employ of being a disgrace to the name of sorcerer if they don't pay you lot well for it?
Arthur: We have different ideas on what disgraces the name of wizard.
- Too this exchange:
- "Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer that always lived!" Besides doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- Mr. Weasley's automobile saving Harry, Ron and Fang from Aragog and his children, even though it abandoned them later getting trounce up by the Whomping Willow.
- Whatever time anyone takes Lockhart down a peg. Lockhart'southward annoying, idiotic and egotistical antics all throughout the story make the moments in which he is struck downward very satisfying. To be more specific:
- Hagrid's rant almost Lockhart after he pays his hut a visit to offer his condescending "help"; Hagrid has survived a herd of Acromantulas, some wolves in the wood, an incredibly uncooperative herd of Centaurs and is half-giant - your assist is not required Lockhart! Even though this attitude does bite Hagrid in the ass later, it's still great to know that someone can see through Lockhart's BS.
- Second is Snape cutting Lockhart downwardly when he claims he "could whip up an Mandrake Restorative Draught in [his] sleep" -
Snape: Excuse me, but I believe I'm the Potions primary in this school.
- The 3rd and best example would be how pretty much every instructor in the school (minus Dumbledore) reduce Lockhart to a quivering wreck, when all of his Blatant Lies are thrown back at him and he can't dig himself out. The film adapts this sequence well, simply in the book you can experience both the Professors' satisfaction and Lockhart's realization about just how badly he screwed himself over.
- Professor Sprout is less than pleased at the fact that Lockhart is giving her tips on caring for the Whomping Willow. She's managed successfully for twenty ane years at this signal and has lost no limbs to it. She knows what she'south doing, Lockhart!
- Ron going with Harry to 'find the spiders'. Ron'south deathly terrified of spiders due to a hilarious, yet terrifying incident in his past. Even going nearly what you fear takes a lot of courage, but tracking downwardly what you fear the most on purpose just to salve a friend? Child has balls.
- Hermione figuring out (with just a few clues) what Slytherin's monster is (a basilisk), and how information technology'south moving around the castle (in the plumbing). This highlights her intelligence particularly when you realize that nobody else, not even Dumbledore, was able to figure that out, and Hermione is only 12 years old.
- Ron'south immediate reaction to Hermione beingness called "Mudblood" past Malfoy is to hex him. Fred and George forgo magic birthday, and but try to throttle him. Compassion Flint stops them.
- Similarly, when Malfoy says he bets the next set on is fatal and comments, "Pity information technology wasn't Granger." Cue Ron trying to shell the crap out of him, sans wand, with Snape right there. Harry and Dean Thomas have to drag him away.
Ron: [being held back past Harry and Dean] Let me at him, permit me at him! I don't care, I don't need my wand! I'm gonna impale him with my bare hands...!
- Similarly, when Malfoy says he bets the next set on is fatal and comments, "Pity information technology wasn't Granger." Cue Ron trying to shell the crap out of him, sans wand, with Snape right there. Harry and Dean Thomas have to drag him away.
- Harry with few clues from Dobby figuring out that Lucius planted the diary into Ginny's books and and then tricking him into freeing Dobby with a plan he admits was Crazy Enough to Work.
- Acknowledge it, Harry from Ginny's POV after taking out Riddle and Basilisk is one of the finest moments of Knight In Shining Armour in literature. Ginny had been a wreck for months due to Riddle possessing her and barely escaped death. When she comes to, her crush is standing over her afterwards destroying her objects of torment.
Motion picture
- Ron and the Twins helping Harry escape from the Dursleys is fifty-fifty more awesome in the motion picture. Equally Harry is climbing out the window, Vernon unlocks the door and manages to grab Harry's ankle. Ron and George grab Harry by the shoulders as Fred hits the gas, causing Vernon to get pulled out the window and autumn into the bushes beneath.
- Snape is generally awesome, but peculiarly when he sends Lockhart flying beyond the room in the dueling scene. Simply Snape tops himself in the "Holy fuck, that's awesome!" section just a few minutes later... just by SMIRKING at Lockhart. (The Smirk of Crawly happens at iii:26).
- Sentry the background closely as Lockhart lands, and Snape's body language says even he was surprised at how far he went. A nonverbal "Ooh, that hurt. I'thou good".
- Credit must as well exist given to Harry, who shows exactly what he thinks of Malfoy with ane curt line:
Lockhart: Wands at the ready!
(The two boys practise so)
Malfoy: Scared, Potter?
Harry: You wish.
- When Lockhart releases the pixies in class, Hermione shoves books aside and leaps from her chair; judging by the stomp of her foot a few seconds later, she has apparently stamped on one of the pixies!
- Harry dodging the bludger long enough at the Quidditch lucifer to take hold of the snitch.....with a broken arm, no less!
- 12-year-old boy vs. fifty foot long Basilisk. Harry wins.
- Right subsequently that, Harry realises that the basilisk's venom will kill him. His final act is to destroy the diary, and then tell Ginny how to escape and that everything will be alright, fifty-fifty when he believes he'll die. Of course, Fawkes ensures that he doesn't, but that is some impressive composure and dignity for a twelve-year old.
- Also the fashion Harry completely wipes the smug smiling off Tom Riddle's face up earlier destroying the diary.
Riddle: (as Harry takes the diary from a almost-dead Ginny) Funny, the damage a giddy lilliputian volume can do, specially in the hands of a light-headed little daughter! (Harry opens the diary in the middle. Riddle looks at him in confusion) What are you doing? (Harry picks up a discarded basilisk fang with a look of pure contempt and Riddle'south eyes go wide in horror) Finish! NOOO! (Harry stabs the diary in the centre, causing Riddle to begin to disintegrate)
- Dobby kicking Lucius's donkey at the end.
- Near the end of the picture, after Lucius Malfoy's plot was foiled:
Lucius: Well... permit us hope that Mr. Potter will ever be around to salvage the 24-hour interval.
Harry: Don't worry. I will exist.- Even cooler? But Jason Isaacs and Chris Columbus knew he (Jason) was going to say anything at all. He'd said to Columbus in an aside "Don't y'all call back there should be a line?" and Columbus had encouraged him to improvise one, which he did. Nobody had said anything to Daniel Radcliffe. And and so Daniel came back with his sharp riposte right out of nowhere and information technology became possibly the most iconic commutation in the entire picture show.
Jason Isaacs: A chill went down my spine. And as he did it, I thought, "Christ, this child is good."

- Fawkes takes a pot shot at Riddle as he swoops down; detect that Fawkes swoops exactly where Riddle'due south head is.
- Harry wielding the Sword of Gryffindor confronting the Basilisk. As any fencer knows, swords are a lot harder to use than most people think.
- Quick one but Harry and Ron's response when they realise they're surrounded by spiders planning to eat them? Pull out their wands and stand up back-to-dorsum, even though they're both enlightened they have nigh nil take a chance of winning.
- The Ho-hum Clap sequence at the end, featuring a tremendous score equanimous by John Williams. It was besides the final shot to be filmed during production of this film.
- For the bonus points the music ends with a final dun, duuun, Duuuuun! DUUUUUUUUUUUHHH!! DUUUUUUUH'', 'DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ' *cymbal crash*. That'southward the fanfare of victory.
