Line 193:
** Dumbledore's Army at Hogwarts.
* [[Last-Minute Hookup]]:
** Hermione and Ron. After seven books of [[Ship Tease|teasing]], they make out in the hall while Voldemort and the Death Eaters are attacking the school and people are dying. (Although the books were dropping [[Word of God|"anvil-sized hints"]] at them having feelings for each other at least as far back as ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''.)
** There's also Harry and Ginny, (mainly in [[The Movie]] where Ginny gets close to no screen time at all.) They became a couple close to the end of ''Half-Blood Prince'' and still break up before the end. To make matters worse, they spend [[Up to Eleven|even less screen time together]] in the last book. By the epilogue, {{spoiler|they're [[Happily Married]]}}.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Molly Weasley is getting into a fight with Death Eaters -- '''holy crap did she just kill somebody'''?! [[Word of God]] is that Molly is just a better fighter than her would-be nemesis.
Line 242:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: {{spoiler|Lily seems completely oblivious to the fact that Snape has been in love with her since they were children}}.
** Also, Ron's pretty good at not noticing that Hermione's in love with him, despite him being in love with ''her''.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Ron and Hermione {{spoiler|recovering the basilisk fangs from the [[Chamber of Secrets]]. This could have been used to show another spiritual illusion to try and stop them, like with the locket,}} but it was left out due to the book's [[Cosmic Deadline]] (see above). Happily, it's included in the movie.
** In the book, {{spoiler|before the Dursleys leave Privet Drive, Dudley shows concern about Harry’s safety, tells Harry that he doesn’t consider him to be "a waste of space," is thankful to him for saving his life, and even shakes his hand}}. For {{spoiler|Dudley}}, this is positive [[Character Development]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] rolled into one, {{spoiler|because it presents Dudley as finally accepting and appreciating Harry}}. Disappointingly, this is left out in the film, though it's included in the [[DVD/Blu Ray|Blu Ray]] deleted scenes.
** Also in the book, Dean Thomas is seen in the final battle casting spells with a new wand, having obtained it during the battle, as we see him enter the final battle without one. It's true he's a minor character, but this is an unarmed teenager who took ownership of a wand by forcefully taking it from a trained killer in the middle of a kill or be killed melee between good and evil.
Line 296:
* [[Ship Tease]]: The Horcrux taunts Ron Weasley with the sight of Harry and Hermione kissing.
* [[Shoot the Messenger]]: And everyone else in the room.
* [[Sleep Cute]]: In the book and [[Harry Potter (film)and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1|the first film]] Ron and Hermione are asleep next to each other, with their hands lying so they appear to be reaching out for each other. Given a horrifying echo in Part II when {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]] Remus and Tonks' bodies are laid out in the exact same way.}}
* [[So Proud of You]]: {{spoiler|Lily, and later Dumbledore, to Harry.}}
* [[Soul Jar]]: Horcruxes, although each one only contains a fraction of his soul.
