20. “But I Am the Chosen One!”: Harry’s Unintentional Stand-Up Comedy

In Half-Blood Prince, Harry quips, "But I am the Chosen One!" with a comedic deadpan at the height of the conversation with Hermione. The line, used in tandem with Hermione's quick smack with a rolled newspaper, creates comedic gold. The situation is elevated by Daniel Radcliffe's delivery and Emma Watson's timing, which highlights the chemistry between the characters. It’s a moment of levity in an otherwise serious film and reminds fans why the series is so lovable, despite its dark undertones.
