Harry Potter: 10 Most Heart-Breaking Movie Moments
6. Harry Returns Cedric Diggory’s Body To Hogwarts
The Goblet of Fire introduces the key turning point in the series with the return and full ressuruction of Lord Voldemort, who orders Peter Pettigrew to murder Cedric Diggory. Following on from Harry barely escaping death after a tense fight with the Dark Lord, a battered and terrified Harry manages to return Diggory’s body back to the safety of Hogwarts.
Dan Radcliffe breaking down in tears after his horrendous ordeal is already distressing enough, but the arrival of Amos Diggory takes the drama to an all time high as he sees his son’s dead body and howls in sheer agony. The whole school is forced to watch a father's raw grief and witness Harry's daunting confirmation that Voldemort has finally returned.
The heart-breaking performances from Radcliffe and Jeff Rawle as Amos will always make this moment a memorable one for the devastating events to come following the return of He Who Must Not Be Named.
