16. Mrs. Weasley vs. Bellatrix - Deathly Hallows Part II
Honestly, half of this list probably could have been comprised of different parts of the Battle of Hogwarts: it's an emotionally charged fight with tremendously high stakes. After all, the characters everyone has grown to love are defending the place they call home. But for the sake of diversity, this will focus on just one specific part of the battle. It's one of the most memorable moments of the series, and it's Molly Weasley's crowning achievement. This battle has had an awful toll on the Weasley family: Fred is gone, and they've watched beloved friends die. But when Molly sees Bellatrix Lestrange dueling with her only daughter Ginny, that's it. She's done. Molly might seem like a cuddly, besweatered type, but if you cross her she will destroy you. Bellatrix learned that the hard way. Now she's dead.
