Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2/Heartwarming

"Neville: Harry: Neville:"
 * The Resurrection Stone scene. All of it.
 * Hagrid hugging Harry after.
 * This:
 * This:

"McGonagall: Potter? It's good to see you again. Harry: It's good to see you again too, professor."
 * And with that, officially became canon. An alternate canon, but canon. Fuck yes.
 * And then
 * After telling Harry she thinks she might fancy Neville.
 * Shortly after Neville's line, Ginny and Harry kiss, and before Harry can tell Ginny he loves her, she just looks him in the eyes and calmly, softly says, "I know." Then they run headlong in different directions, but Harry's got a little grin on his face.
 * As McGonagall is leaving to set up Hogwarts's defenses for the final battle and Harry is setting off to find the last Horcruxes:
 * As McGonagall is leaving to set up Hogwarts's defenses for the final battle and Harry is setting off to find the last Horcruxes:


 * McGonagall usually comes across as The Stoic, but from this exchange, plus the way she leaps to Harry's defense when he confronts Snape, you can tell she really does care about her old student, and is glad to see he's alive.
 * Shortly after Harry leaves several people of the Order are seen setting up some forcefield that just closes around Hogwarts. We see all those people we are familiar with; McGonagall, Molly, Professor Flitwick. They all mutter the same Latin sentences about protection against enemies. Then we see Horace Slughorn. A masively hedonistic, cowardly Slytherin. And the head of Slytherin to top it off. The main characteristic of Slytherins is thinking about themselves - something that Slughorn has done quite some times. And then he stands there, helping the Order, knowing that he could possibly die by doing so and would have been gladly accepted by Voldemort - he is a Slytherin after all - and he just mutters the same phrase in Latin that the others say: Protego Maxima, Fianto Duri, Repello Inimigotum. Thereby accepting his faith and choosing to stay in Hogwarts to help the Order. I teared up at that.(And knowing what he says in Latin makes it even worse.)
 * You're, of course, going off the ideal that all Slytherins are evil. Their main characteristic is ambition, not self-preservation. Yes, most of the Slytherin characters we see are not the nicest, but we only see a small portion of their students. You forget who saved Harry's life in the end: Narcissa Malfoy, a pureblood Slytherin married to a pureblood Slytherin with a pureblood Slytherin son, ends up being the one who secures Harry's safety.
 * When Harry tells Hermione and Ron that he is going to [[spoiler:go to the Forest and give himself up to the Death Eaters. Hermione's response? "I'll go with you."
 * After breaking out of Gringotts, the Gringotts Dragon just sits on a rooftop for a few seconds, taking a deep breath of fresh air and basking in the sun probably for the first time in its life. That small moment made this troper's heart ache.
 * This troper checked its wings, saw that they're very thin and full of holes, worried that it might not manage to take flight, and held her breath until... it did.
 * Harry's little smile and the "that was brilliant" comment really made the moment perfect. The movies haven't always done Rowling's books justice, but they got that scene right.
 * This troper loved that scene, too, except for one little snag: the Indy Ploy was one of Harry's finest moments in the book, but they attributed it to Hermione again.
 * The scene of Ron and Hermione clinging to each other as . Their love comes across more clearly there than in any other scene in the entire movie series. Damn.
 * What about Lily Potter's last words to her son? Harry . . . Harry, you are loved. You are so loved. Harry, Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Harry, be safe. Be strong.
 * Oh, God. If Alan Rickman as Snape doesn't make you want to buy the DVD, those words from Lily Potter will. That was absolutely beautiful.
 * No mention about the 19 years later scene? On our three main characters looking in their late-thirties using some makeup and some CGI, you gotta admit it was a cute scene with their children, not to mention the tears and nostalgia it gave us.
 * And they played some of John Williams' original theme. Pure nostalgia.
 * When Voldemort presents Harry's supposedly-dead body to all his friends and allies, Neville gets up in front of everyone and makes a very touching speech saying that all the people who have died in the battle were still with them in spirit and that they shouldn't let these deaths keep them from fighting Voldemort. This speech is at the level of something Barack Obama would say. Really uplifting.
 * What about when Voldemort wants Harry to face him and Pansy Parkinson says for someone to grab Harry for Voldemort? Well, guess what happens next? You see Harry preparing to defend himself...followed by his friends, three Houses (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff), and members of the Order of the Phoenix shielding him.
 * The scene with Narcissa and Malfoy walking away from the battle hand in hand with Lucious folloiwng behind is very heartwarming, as is Narcissa
 * counts as this, and a moment of awesome.
 * last words, "Look at me"—wanting to see again before he died.
 * The film adaptation doesn't stop there.
 * The epilogue. Say what you will about the Narm or the Tastes Like Diabetes aspects of it, but this troper found all the Call Backs to the earlier films (most notably the soundtrack being the exact same track that played at the end of the first movie), as well as Harry stating that Snape was "the bravest man I've ever known", was extremely moving.
