10 Most Paused Harry Potter Moments

The Polyjuice Potion is the most well-known magical substance in the Potterverse. It’s devilishly tricky to make and has disastrous consequences if done incorrectly.

Thankfully, the Polyjuice Potion also leads to some great transformations throughout the series. Harry’s metamorphosis into Gregory Goyle is right on the edge of horrifying and amusing, creating one of the most memorable scenes in The Chamber of Secrets. Barty Crouch's Junior's reveal at the end of The Goblet of Fire is also hard to forget in a hurry.

Yet the best Polyjuice scene comes in the first part of The Deathly Hallows. Shortly before the gang depart from Privet Drive, six members of the Order of the Phoenix transform into Harry, and watching Daniel Radcliffe manoeuvre his way through a variety of clothes has plenty of comedic value.

It’s one of the few amusing story beats in Harry’s darkest adventure and the best Polyjuice moment in the franchise.
