Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)/Funny: Difference between revisions

* The [[Happy Dance]] that ensues after Harry's acquittal.

* Anything Peeves does: "The bell rang just as Peeves swooped down on Katie and emptied an entire bottle of ink over her head."

* And the entirety of the "prank war": "It unscrews the other way." Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for the twins.

** The conclusion, when Peeves chased Umbridge off by hitting her with a walking stick and a sock filled with chalk. Professor McGonagall's reaction? "I would chase after her myself, but Peeves borrowed my stick." Made funnier when listening to the book on tape, where the reader's McGonagall voice seems to be hinting that Peeves didn't "steal" the stick so much as "asked politely for it and detailed the exact reason why he needed it."

*** Pretty much any time McGonagall and Umbridge interacted in ''Order of the Phoenix'' was this, often with an added [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for McGonagall.

George: "What are Fred and I, next-door neighbors?" }}

** And Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody has his own perspective about Ron's said promotion: "Authority figures always attract trouble, but I suppose Dumbledore thinks you can withstand most major jinxes or he wouldn't have appointed you..."

*** Molly's reaction to Arthur's stitches: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ''THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA''?!"

* After Dudley is attacked by a dementor at the beginning:

'''Harry''': You can't give a dementor the old one-two! }}

* Umbridge's evaluations of the teachers could be both funny and painful. Snape's was particularly memorable:

'''Snape''': (classic deadpan) Obviously. }}

** This, too:

'''Tonks''': Who do you know who's lost a buttock? }}

* When they sneak in to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius, They all get nametags saying "Rescue Mission".

* Say it with me now: "[[Falling Chandelier of Doom|It]] [[Do Wrong Right|unscrews the other way."]]

* After Fred and George's escape, Ron, Hermione, and Harry are all talking about it, and Ron is sure his mother is going to blame him for allowing it. Then Harry reveals that he was the one who gave them the money to start their joke shop, and we get this:

* Ron's comment upon dropping Divination (after on his exams, he had told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in his crystal ball, only to look up and realise he had been describing his examiner's reflection):

** Harry's examination is pretty good too, including mixing up the lines on his examiner's palm and telling her she should have died the previous Tuesday.

* How on Earth has there yet to be a mention of Mrs. Figg bashing Mundungus with her bag of cat food?
