20 Greatest Moments In Wizarding World Movies

The Wizarding World franchise is one of the most successful and important film franchises of all time and even though the Harry Potter films are long since concluded, it is still a dominant property today and another film is on the way next year. The impressive thing is, not only have these films been successful as hell, but they more than deserve it too.

With great storytelling, stunning visuals and one of the best casts in any big Hollywood series, these films have completely delivered for the most part and inevitably, they are absolutely full of unforgettable scenes. Hell, even Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is arguably the worst of the Harry Potter films, has a couple of genuinely amazing scenes in there. So, what are the best scenes in the Wizarding World movies?

Honestly, one is spoiled for choice since the films, in spite of their varying quality, have vast amounts of movie magic within them. Still, something must come out on top.

From exhilarating set-pieces to hilarious gags, from genius plot twists to heartbreaking death scenes, here are the finest scenes this most legendary of franchises has given us so far...

This wasn't actually in the books, but no-one will complain about this particular change.

This climactic duel between Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), two of the series' greatest and most well-played characters, is pretty bloody awesome and boasts some insane visuals in the bargain too.

It's particularly cool since it's a duel between the two most powerful wizards of their age, so this is a real clash of the titans moment here. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix might be one of the less-essential movies in the series, but it does have some great action beats and it saves the best till last with this final battle.

The scene that follows, in which Voldemort tries to possess Harry but is repelled thanks to Harry's psychological strength, is very strong too.
