Harry Potter Fans Always Crack Up Over This Relatable Harry Moment

With each installment of the "Harry Potter" series, the wizarding world becomes darker, as Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) regains power, and heartbreaking moments become increasingly common. Still, life at Hogwarts goes on. In fact, as Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and friends navigate their classes, teen romance and, of course, the constant sense of impending doom, they enjoy some rare but unforgettable comedic moments.

The first few "Harry Potter" films offer such humorous scenes as the boggart version of Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) sporting the frilly clothes of Neville Longbottom's (Matthew Lewis) grandmother in "Prisoner of Azkaban," and of course any scene featuring Fred and George Weasley (James and Oliver Phelps). However, it's not until "Half-Blood Prince" that the comedy is truly kicked up a notch. Harry, who isn't usually a very lighthearted character — understandable, given the evil he's constantly forced to deal wit — is very funny after taking a swig of Felix Felicis. During the funeral of Aragog, the acromantula friend of Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), Harry is overly-chipper as he uses his hands and clicking sounds to recreate Aragog's pincers. There's also the hilarious look of disbelief when Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave) professes her love to Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) on the Hogwarts Express. As she uses her breath to steam up the glass and write their initials in a heart, Harry casually fiddles with his seat.

These scenes are brief but impactful, making The Boy Who Lived seem a little more down to earth. But there's one other relatable Harry moment in "Half-Blood Prince" that never fails to incite a laugh in viewers.

In "Half-Blood Prince," Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) resumes his former role as Potions Master. At Hogwarts, Slughorn recruits talented and famous students, including Harry and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), to his Slug Club. When they're forced to find dates for the club's holiday party, Hermione warns Harry to be careful of who he chooses since girls like Romilda Vane (Anna Shaffer) have plans to smuggle him a love potion. Following his Ministry of Magic battle against Voldemort and his Death Eaters in "Order of the Phoenix," Harry's popularity — especially among his female peers — has skyrocketed.

When Hermione points Romilda out to Harry in the library, he's visibly happy at what he sees. Hermione says, "Hey, she's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One." Harry replies with a grin, and says, "But I am the Chosen One." This results in Hermione whacking him on the head with some paper.

Many fans found this to be an enjoyable addition to the film. It not only shows Harry finding some humor in his destiny to defeat Voldemort, but also him being an average teenage boy for once. On Reddit, u/TopTopTopcina said, "Harry isn't a typical teen at all due to everything he's been through, but this moment made him more human and relatable." U/joxtersurfer added, "The poor boy is so happy he's got at least something good from this whole 'chosen' thing."

The Boy Who Lived might not be constantly cracking jokes at Hogwarts — especially in later installments, when Voldemort taps into his mind — but Daniel Radcliffe made sure to keep things light off-screen. In an interview with Tribute Movies, it was revealed that the actor behind Harry boasts strong comedic chops. In fact, director David Yates named him the funniest person on set. On the influence behind his humor, Radcliffe said, "I watch a lot of comedy shows and I watch a lot of stand-up comedy."

Even when he was the butt of a joke, Radcliffe maintained good spirits. In "Prisoner of Azkaban," when the students are forced to sleep in the Great Hall after a Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) sighting, Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) and Severus Snape patrol past Harry in his sleeping bag. In one blooper reel, as Albus shares some insightful words, certain gassy sounds can be heard coming from Harry's direction. "They had put a fart machine into my sleeping bag and Michael Gambon had actually been pressing it during a take, I found out," said Radcliffe, in a behind-the-scenes interview.

The whole set erupted in laughter over Gambon and Rickman's practical joke, which Radcliffe said director Alfonso Cuarón helped the prankster duo coordinate. Thanks to his ability to give and take a joke, Radcliffe laughed right along.
