It’s a beautiful demonstration of Ron’s bravery and loyalty to his friends.

The thrilling battle with the Basilisktakes place in two phases.

His first match is against the Slytherin team, who enjoy playing dirty.

The filmmakers got creative in showing how the players devised tactics using a three-dimensional field to outperform their opponents.

It’s arguablythe grandest and most inspiring scene in the franchise, making it the most rewatchable, too.
