I just realised this might be the most normal scene in all of Harry Potter. There's no magic, no reference to it, not even a wand wave. It's just two ordinary people dancing to music in a tent. This is just pure emotion

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times.” -Albus Dumbledore

I love how Emma mentioned about this scene, and said that though at first she thought the idea of it would probably be awkward, coz suddenly the director told them to slow dance through the song, later on she too realized how beautiful this scene really was and now it's one of her most favorite scenes in the entire series too. 😭💕✨

This movie is a minsunderstood masterpiece, I think the reason why people disliked it so much was because of the sudden maturity of the situation compared to the other movies, there is no more school, events, quidditch, it's just 3 kids against the world(literally), trying to survive while a curse psychologically tortures them, while loneliness gets the best of them, while longing makes them go crazy. This movie is about the characters of Harry, Hermione and Ron, the other movies were about the situation they're in.

I really enjoy how in this scene, they're listening and dancing to "muggle" music. Harry and Hermione were both raised in muggle households, letting them relate to each other in a way that Ron wouldn't have ever really understood, but this is rarely touched upon in the series, and its nice to see them bonding over a small mundane muggle thing, in this magical fantastical world.

This scene always makes me cry. Because Harry comforts her and they are both at their lowest points and don’t know what to do at that moment but keep moving. It’s just so touching I

"Maybe we should just stay here, Harry. Grow old." -Hermione

Their on-screen chemistry is electric. It's not surprising so many people wanted these two to get together even though it's not in the books.

Though this scene was not in the books, I really appreciated it in the movie. Ron, though I love him, it was not the first time he “left” - he did during the fourth year, and returned again. During Ron’s absence to balance the group, Harry found out he didn’t have much in common with Hermione, Ron was the joy - but here you can see how they all have matured and grown closer as friends - that Harry can put aside his worries and think about his friend and try to cheer her up, even if just for a moment. Not once did he scoff in annoyance or impatience at Hermione grieving that Ron left here. Harry is indeed brave - but they forget to mention a lot how kind he is. A close friend and I who grew up on the books were discussing this, and we agreed that Harry has “his mother’s eyes” for the way he chooses to see things, the world, and people, as Lily was “uncommonly kind.” [Edited for typo.]

Let's be honest folks, we all smiled when seeing this scene for the first time.

I always loved this scene because no words were spoken, it was just them dancing. Yet it was so beautiful. I always loved their friendship.

I absolutely love that scene. There's absolutely nothing romantic about it. The moment is so much deeper than Harry just trying to cheer Hermione up. It's capturing a moment we all experience at some point, when we realize that being an adult is difficult and nothing like we imagined it to be. When we yearn for the simplicity and nativity of childhood. Daniel and Emma absolutely nail this scene and the song choice really drives home the point. It's a really well done scene.

The song, “O Children” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Music is one of few closest things we muggles have to magic

Harry doesn't really comfort Hermione when she's grieving Ron's departure in the book, but this scene shows a much kinder and sympathetic side to him.

Love how the music is coordinating with Hermione's feelings, as she is getting involved in the dance, the volume of music gradually increases. Amazing detail.

Something I really like about this scene is that Harry and Hermione are both muggle raised. They are dealing with the darkness of the Wizarding World together and are finding joy from doing something that has no magic involved at all. It's almost like they are falling back on their routes.

YOU SEE AS THEY ENGAGE IN THIS THE MUSIC GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER SYMBOLISING THE GROWING HAPPINESS IN HERMIONE. MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE!!

this scene wil ALWAYS b my fav..

The only bad thing about this scene is that it ends🤧❤

Best scene in all of the movies, it’s just so beautiful 🥺

The is called pure and true friendship

This is what Dumbledore said"Happiness can be found even in the darkness if one just remember to turn on the light," OMG so many likes

This is one of the most heartfelt, beautiful moments of Harry Potter I have ever seen, no magic, yet the moment is so magical 💛💛

This scene is probably one of my favourites in all cinematic history because it’s just so beautifully simple. Two people dancing together to a lovely song in dark times forgetting everything that’s wrong with the world. It can’t not put a smile on your face.

Would be hilarious if Ron walks in on this LOL

'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. - Albus Dumbledore

I was 17 in 2010 on the verge of college and saying goodbye to my childhood which this franchise has made up a huge portion of, this unexpected little scene tugged my heart string in ways no word can describe.

Give me a boy like harry potter

The way he looks at her is so intense. I know they never were more than friends but this scene was very interesting to watch. His acting here was very mature and intimate in a sense

I always come back to this scene when I’m sad. A lot of times I will watch something funny to forget about bad things. But this scene is for when I can’t get rid of the bad. This scene is for when I need to be reminded that even in the darkest times, happiness can be found

They have so much chemistry together .. such a missed opportunity to pair them in the movie

In this scene Harry proved that he will be always there for Hermione even if she is sad or happy.This is a true friendship🥺

Growing up, I only ever saw this scene from a Harmione point of view. However, now, I actually almost teared up rewatching it because it is so beautifully done. We all know that they're going to succeed in defeating Voldemort because Harry is the hero, and heroes always have to finish off their story well. However, there, in that moment, in the middle of nowhere, Harry doesn't know that. Hermione doesn't know that. They don't know if they're going to see their friends and family again. They don't know if they can save everyone. They don't even know if they're going to survive until tomorrow. And yet, somehow, Harry, the boy whose destined to save the wizarding world and his best friend who sacrificed everything to help him (even going as far as wiping her from her parents' memories), found the strength to laugh and to love in the middle of a dark forest, even if just for a few moments. Their smiles brought me back to their first years when their biggest worry was about evil teachers. To make this scene even sweeter, I heard that one of the producers was going through a divorce while filming and this song got him through it, so for all of you that say this scene was unnecessary and only fed into the Harmione ship, I just want to let you know that the meaning behind this scene is much more than that.

This closeness this ease is something that I really love about platonic relationships-they are rare. The proximity does not matter. They are so comfortable with each other. The hug looks so comforting.

this scene. the dance, the song, everything's perfect

people who say this is a romantic scene clearly don’t know the meaning behind it. hermione is literally sad because ron isn’t there and she loves him. this is a dance of friendship, sadness, and hope and in the end the final realization that hermione can’t truly be happy if ron isn’t there and that harry will never be what she needs. ron and hermione make such a perfect couple and something that emma watson has said is something i live by: “harry is the hero of the series, but not for hermione.”

I like how Harry takes off the Horcrux necklace from Hermione before dancing. Like "We don't need that negative energy around us while we dance our stress/heartbreak/grief out." :) Heck, Hermione gradually gets into dancing, smiling and laughing. Now that's attention to detail. :)

their relationship was like none others. definition of platonic soulmates

I still believe they're each other's soulmate

When Harry dances better than me

I almost cried during this scene. You realize that these are young innocent children literally running away from death. I feel like the only thing holding them all up is their friendship and the fact that they'd do anything for each other. They're all risking their lives for each other and it has always been harry ron and hermoine from the beginning. And like in this moment you see the brother sister relationship between harry and hermoine and how much they care for each other. They bring light to one of the darkest moments and it's literally the most perfect scene. and the music ughfsiuiboafee

I love this scene so much. This dance was healing for them in so many ways. Of course you have the issue with Ron, how the way he left completely threw both of them off. But also the matter that these are KIDS who should be in their last year of school and are instead fighting a war, fearing for their lives and their loved ones. This was a moment to forget and be happy.

They were each other's support 😢🥺

I don't care what people say, but in the movies, these two had way more chemistry. I just realized that a part of the dance mirrors the dance of Harry's parents :')

Harry and hermione truly have a beautiful friendship. They are going through so much emotional pain together and yet they try their best to have a little moment of comfort & tranquillity. It's such a brief heartfelt moment. Between two best friends I just love it. 🌹💧😊

I love this scene because everything seems hopeless but Harry like his parents before him found a way as simple as it was to make Hermione smile. Also it’s just so cute watching them dance together and having fun. ❤

genuinely one of the most moving scenes ever

Harry just wanted to cheer her up. He knew Hermione liked Ron and besides he had feelings for Ginny. You can see that in the books (not really the movies though). I respect opinions though (edit: sorry i had to redo this my older self couldn’t even read what i wrote)

The best friendship I've ever seen... Just wish I had a friendship like that. The fact that they're listening to muggle music makes it even more perfect.

I think my first heartbreak in life was Hermione marrying Ron instead of Harry.😭😅

I loved this scene. Two young friends with the weight of the world on their shoulders, really needing a win, just taking a break.

One of the few scenes that is not in the books that I absolutely love!!!!!

this scene made me cry, i don’t ship them or anything i just love their friendship so much and the song makes me cry on its own and them dancing just adds to it

I cannot watch this scene without thinking of them as first years. The contrast between this and then is truly moving

And I just love that this interaction was always platonic. He just wanted to cheer up a friend, and it worked. He wasn't trying to hit on her, he just wanted her to be happier, because she is his friend, and seeing her that way hurt.

Music and dance can cure all. Even if it just for a little bit.

This is literally my favorite part. The first time I saw it, I felt warm. I felt the love their friendship has. This is so special because they grew together with a sibling type of love. It was their lowest point, not to mention Ron who left. It was very sweet of Harry to try lift Hermione's feelings up. Harry's action translated into him being caring and concerned for Hermione even though he himself is also struggling. I will never not love this!

I hope everybody will have a friend like Harry.

Ron walking in on this would probably be like I KNEW IT

Before the last book came out… I personally shipped Harry and Hermione. I’ll defend that to the end

When I was younger, I wanted Harry and Hermione to get together, but now that I grew older, I can see what J.K. Rowling tried to portray through their relationship. Love doesn't have to be romantic, grandiose, or otherworldly. Sometimes all we need is someone to hug and to spend time with, without saying anything. We can be like that with our siblings, our family, and our closest friends. Hermione was a sister that Harry never had. He may have fallen in love with Ginny, but the love that he and Hermione had was something special, and I wish everyone would find that person in their life. I am convinced that Ron and Hermione were put on Harry's path to make it up for the lonely years he had to endure at Dursley's. The Golden Trio is the best family anyone could ever ask for. On a side note, we have to give a big applause to both Daniel and Emma for their amazing chemistry and friendship. Fans wouldn't ship their characters this much if the actors didn't perform well, just saying. :']

1:03 *ron walks in* Ron:BlOoDy HeLl

Not sure someone will ever read this...It's war in my country, and i'm not in the safest place. But this song, moment is just what i need right now

Harry Potter just has something so magical and special that triggers such a beautiful nostalgia in my heart. It's a masterpiece that will never be forgotten

I know their relationship isn't romantic, but this feels very similar to the way Lily and James were holding eachother in that picture in the Prisoner Of Azkaban.

This is what friends are for... P.S- Harry's hand side swing was so cute 😍

This was the best platonic friendship ever. We need more!!!

loved this scene so much. I genuinely was crying it made everything seem so genuine even when they had no idea what they were about to go through

Awe Harry being a great friend, this is what I’m here for 💕

if i see one more person saying that they should’ve ended up together i’m going to scream. they have the most beautiful friendship ever, people these days seem to make everything romantic.

"If you were waiting for the opportune moment... that was it." - Captain Jack Sparrow

This is the first time and the only time till now, when my heart was filled with genuine warmth. Truly Beautiful Scene.

literally the best scene in the entire franchise.

I think this scene portrays the adorable brother sister kind of relationship Harry and Hermione have had scince from the very beginning.

I love this scene so much, in fact it is one of my favorite scenes from Harry Potter. It carries very beautiful feelings..

I love this scene so much! It shows that Harry and Hermione are older now but they still are kids. It shows them being real friends. Sometimes I forget that Harry and Hermione have know each other for a really long time, there hole childhood. So this really is a amazing scene well done it shows there friend-ship.

The actors and hp children grew up together I find that absolutely so heartwarming, there all special to eachother 🥺

This is pure friendship, at the start you could've shipped them but at some point in time you realize they're just great friends

I cried watching this. It's just so human. It's two friends who've literally grown up saving each others lives and have an unbelievable platonic bond.

she looked at Harry and probably regretted to even get up she walked with him but never smiled even in dancing took a few minutes the song really was about friendship and her heart was so broken you can still see the tears in her eyes

It's not even from the books and it's still my favorite scene in the entire series

the feeling of "I want them to be happy please give them a rest they are just children!" was huge after the dance

"I'm hanging in there don't you see in this process of elimination" is literally the best possible one-line summary of the whole movie. Harry, Hermione and (for the most part) Ron are literally hanging in there while Voldemort and his supporters systematically eliminate opposition.

This was a perfect way to nonverbally show how deep their friendship and trust goes, and how glad they are to still have each other to tough out Ron's absence.

I love Hermione's eyes at 0:19

One of the best scenes ever made😢😭❤❤

Their embrace at the said says it all I bet Hermoine and Harry felt a wave of affection for each other.

I sobbed when I first saw this scene. My favourite by far out of the whole series. It’s so beautiful. ❤

That was such a cute scene💛

I can honestly say this is probably my favorite scene in the entire series

They really look like siblings. I love that hermione can make Harry smile

when the whole world around is collapsing and you dont know if you'll survive what is coming for you, but you have your best friend with whom you can forget your worries and dance for a while

Harry’s smile had and will never change 😂❤️

This... This is the kind of friendship everyone needs.

I think this scene is incredible because you can tell that Harry loves her but doesn’t want be with her. He loves her companionship and doesn’t want to lose it.

This is the most normal and my favorite scene in the whole series. Just two friends finding light in the darkness

This scene touched my heart....❤️❤️❤️

when i watch this scene i get anxious and start to cry because of the significance of the song and what this scene holds.

My favourite scene in the whole franchise. Full of raw emotion and shows the vulnerability of the characters. You get the sense that for the first time they are truly lost, they know what they have to do but have no idea how to do it and for once there's no one to guide them. In this moment they're not witches and wizards they're simply human struggling with a plethora of emotions. It's a shame many don't like this scene including Watson herself but Rowling did approve of it, but of course she wrote the characters so she has the deepest understanding of them and what this scene was trying to convey

Out of all the scenes, this one is, by far, the most beautiful.
