Jokes usually work on the premise of assumptions.

The first part of a joke usually serves to lead the listener into making an assumption about the events to follow.

The second part of a joke usually serves to prove that assumption wrong by taking a twist or unexpected turn; thereby giving a sense of surprise and possibly some form of laughter out of shock/surprise.

In this case we can observe the first part of the joke (panel 1) leads us to make the assumption of there being only two outcomes "yes or no"; after which either outcome will be satisfied either engaging intercourse or not.

The humour here of course lays in the second part, where we observe that "rape" is "sex against the will of another"; thereby nullifying hermoines previous "no" response in the second panel whilst also kicking our assumption from part one, squarely in the face. The remaining panel helps further the likelihood of laughter by showing hermoines reaction upon realising harrys intent to rape her.

I'm sorry, did you just gallop here on your high horse from the "Hey reddit, we need to talk about rape" thread too?
