Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)/Funny
- In a Call Back to Chamber of Secrets, we have the scene in Prisoner of Azkaban, where Ron is having a nightmare:
Ron: "Spiders, Harry! They want me to tap dance. And I don't want to tap dance!" |
- And immediately afterward, muttering that he'll tell those spiders, he lays back down. As soon as his head touches his pillow, he's snoring again
- The Mandrake scene from Chamber of Secrets is hilarious. After they get their first good look at a mandrake, the shock of it causes Neville to pass out, leading to this exchange:
Professor Sprout: Poor lad. Didn't secure his earmuffs! |
- "What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?"
- In the Shrieking Shack:
Sirius: Pettigrew's alive! And he's right there! *points at Ron who's holding Scabbers/Pettigrew |
- The UST between Hermione and Ron in Prisoner of Azkaban. The first is during the lecture where Buckbeak is introduced and Hermione, in a panic, grabs Ron's hand. He proceeds to give her this amazed look, and she shoots him a glance that says "Don't you say a word". The second is when they're visiting the Shrieking Shack, and Hermione asks if he wants to get closer. After a short uncomfortable pause, she specifies that she meant closer to the shack.
- The first one gets a Lampshade by the Riff Trax:
Mike: "Hermione casts the 'give Ron a boner' spell." |
- When Hagrid asks who wants to ride Buckbeak, everyone backs off a step making it look like Harry has just volunteered.
- In Prisoner of Azkaban, the coda to the floating aunt episode. As Harry stalks off, Aunt Marge is visible bobbing and floating off into the distance. Brief, no dialogue, just some distant sound-effects, and for my money, it's one of the funniest moments in the films.
- Pretty much all of Harry's confusion at going back in time, since Hermione takes her sweet time telling him in the movie, but the best part being right after he sees his past self for the first time.
Harry (two seconds away from freaking out): "This is not normal. |
- Dumbledore can make a simple "good night" funny.
Dumbledore: Well? |
- Bill Corbet: Heh, Grandpa's off his meds again.
- Professor Trelawney: "In this room you will find if you possess... the SIGHT!" (bumps into table)
- "Turn to page Three Hundred and Ninety-four."
- What about when, on The Prisoner Of Azkaban, when Hagrid asks for Harry to ride Buckbeak, picks him up, and put him on there? The resulting response from Harry is priceless.
Hagrid: [about Buckbeak] I think he may let you ride him now. |
- After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and she flies away, Petunia can be seen slowly waving goodbye.
- Remember the really annoying Running Gag from earlier in the map insult scene? The elderly man in the portrait who was constantly aroused, and subsequently annoyed by Harry's shining Lumos on the walls and would constantly tell him to "Put out that light"? Well, here's where a Running Gag gets turned into a Crowning Moment of Funny when Snape, after just being humiliated by the Marauder's Map, his confidence dashed, and being utterly degraded by being proven wrong by a longtime rival, gets his head chewed off by the same portrait of an elderly man in pajamas for shining the Lumos spell right in its face. Snape obeys, but with a look of what could be only Tranquil Fury on his face.
Portrait of Old Man: Are you deaf, man? Put out that blasted light! |
- My eyes aren't "haunted by the memory of my dead parents"!
