Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)/Tear Jerker
Tear Jerkers in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) include:
- The scene where Dolores Umbridge fires Professor Trelawney. "Hogwarts is my home!" (cue this Troper crying)
- The moment when Harry is possessed by Voldemort and fights back by remembering everything which makes them different. "You're the weak one. And you'll never know love. Or friendship. And I feel sorry for you."
- One of the most memorable parts of the film is Harry and Luna in the forest with the Thestrals. If you've ever been ousted from peer groups for being odd or different, this scene hits very close to home.
 |
Luna: They're called Thestrals. They're quite gentle, really, but people avoid them, because they're a bit... |
 |
- Made even sadder when the only reason that Harry and Luna can see the Thestrals, because Harry couldn't at first, is because they've seen death. Insert flashback of the previous film's climactic scene and aftermath.
- Whenever Harry and Sirius hug. Every single time.
- When Sirius tells Harry that when the war is over, they can finally be a proper family. A Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, yes, but also a tear jerker because Sirius dies before they can. The next time they meet, in fact.
- This troper cried only once during the course of all the films and that once was Sirius's death.
- Three words:
|
Sirius: Nice one, James! |
|
- That moment brings tears to this troper's eyes, when she thinks of how that is all Sirius wanted, one last little scuffle with his best friend. It makes his death easier to accept, because he is going to see James soon.
- Lupin's face as he is trying to hold back Harry from chasing after Lestrange; never has total despair ever been more present on a man's face.
- Hagrid's plea to Harry's trio to look after Grawp for him. Hagrid is such a big softy.
- When Fred and George sit down to comfort a scared first year after he's been punished. They show him their hands and say, "See, it's not so bad. You can hardly see the scars." That one scene showed more about the true character of those young men than almost anything else in the movies. They aren't just good guys, they're good MEN, protecting AND comforting the weak when they need it.
