Something that tended to get lost in the translation from book to film was Harry's great sense of humor. In the novels, he's very dry and witty, but that doesn't really come across as much in the movies (which is a shame, because Dan Radcliffe is just naturally a very funny person and would have done a wonderful job with it). One of the few moments when audiences get to see that side of Harry is when he drinks the Felix Felicis potion to try to convince Professor Slughorn to give him a memory. The results are predictably hilarious, and one of the best parts of the entire film. All of sudden, Harry becomes very loose and optimistic as he has a very good feeling about what he's supposed to do. There's no other way to put it: Harry seems pretty much high as a kite. His interactions with everyone around him become priceless little gems, and his imitation of the acromantula's pincers is a definitely highlight.
