10 Most Paused Harry Potter Moments
2. Hermione Punches Draco
God bless Hermione Granger. When our heroes arrive to witness Buckbeak’s execution, they run into Draco and his dim-witted cronies. Hermione, furious at Draco’s glee, rushes forward.
"You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!"
Predictably, Draco whimpers like a child for several seconds as Hermione’s wand presses into his neck. When she appears to back away, Draco starts to relax, but his moment of relief is shattered immediately when he receives a fist to the face.
After three years of torment, Draco finally gets what he deserves. It's a fantastic moment and one of Emma Watson’s best scenes – there’s just something immensely satisfying about seeing Hermione’s fist smack into Draco’s face.
Though Tom Felton probably didn’t enjoy the filming of this scene too much, it was definitely worth it.
