McGonaggal’s sharp eye for talent and her willingness to act on it could be seen when she saw Harry’s skilled flying while he tried to save Longbottom. She saw that Harry had inherited his father’s natural talent for flying. This was a pivotal moment in the movie as well as Harry’s life, who found a sense of belonging and purpose at Hogwarts.
