I also loved the part where Ron gets yelled at by his Mum's mail in the dining room after stealing and wrecking the enchanted car. I could feel the mortification of Ron through that entire scene.

You said we could enter often so I'm entering again! I could list favorite moments forever! I was so glad to find out what Snape was really about. For so many books I wondered if he was good or bad. That was a great storyline that JK Rowling built up.

My favorite moment: All of Book 5. Dark and amazing. It's hard to pick just one moment in there to stick with, because I like everything in it. So, we'll take 5 as all one event!

Luna, you may enter more than once, if you want, but you can only win once. And yes, you're entered for all three of the remaining giveaways.

The "final chapter" I'm referring to is the seventh book, which will be released in paperback on the 7th of July! :)

Does that last line 'Enter often' mean that I can enter more than once? Also, if I entered once I'm in for all of three giveaways, right? And last, but not least, what do you mean final chapter is up on the 7th? (Should have asked about that one earlier, truly should have.)

I have many favorite moments. One of them is when Harry finds the mirror at Hogwarts & can see his parents when he looks in the mirror.

2009-06-20T10:59:47.680-07:00

One of my favorite moments is Fred and George explaining kindly to their mother that they don't want to be prefects "it would take all the fun out of life". Heh heh. In the interests of honesty, I have to admit that I got to dislike Harry so much after Order of the Phoenix that I only skimmed 6 and never read 7....but I know I have Harry fans who would love a set as a summer reading prize! So I'm entering for them (-:)

One of my favorite moments, huh? I really like the end of Prisoner of Azkaban when a bunch of info about Harry's parents, etc. is revealed.

Ron's "love potion" incident in the sixth book is another great point in the book.

The final battle. It met all my expectations and more. I wanted the final showdown to be at Hogworts, I wanted everyone to witness it and I wanted Harry to defeat Voldemort in a most spectacular fashion. Done, done and done! Perfect ending.

2009-06-18T04:51:18.554-07:00

My favorite moment was probably when Snape killed Dumbledore in the Tower, with Harry invisible and entirely helpless.

I've always loved Snape: I like moral ambiguity in a man! At that moment, he transformed from misunderstood (yet possibly ginger-y good!)cookie to Rotten Irredeemably Evil Pastille, and the way JKR turned it around our heads - that he was in fact fulfilling a binding promise and trying to save Draco from doing the Dark Lord's bidding - goodness that was awesome. In my head, all his actions that aided the side of light happened because he has solid moral fiber underneath all that snark, and not because he had the hots for Lily (though that was pretty cute, too). :)

Hm, my favorite moment...that's hard. I honestly c...

2009-06-17T19:52:28.681-07:00

Hm, my favorite moment...that's hard. I honestly cannot pick. I love all the Harry Potter moments...but hm, I think that when he finds out when he's a wizard...I think that is one of my favorites.

The chapter "Spinner's End" from Half Blood Prince. It's one of the rare moments in the novels when we get to see the world beyond Harry. And it's awesome because we get to see Snape without Harry's biases toward the man. Plus, Wormtail gets smashed into a wall ... it's a chapter that I read over and over.

2009-06-17T18:37:11.246-07:00

I think my favorite scene is Harry's visit to the Burrow for the first time. Seeing dishes cleaning themselves, and all this magic going on, yet you get the sense he's a bit more bewildered by this loving and accepting family he's found himself surrounded by. It's achingly in character.
Or where the twins leave school with style. :D

2009-06-17T17:58:21.338-07:00

My favorite moment is the Sorting Hat scene in book one - Harry is so afraid of being put in Slytherin - which to me, tells so much about Harry in that moment. He doesn't *know* anyone yet, he's brand new, but instinctively, he knows what he doesn't want: To be placed in Slytherin.

That set up everything for me and I never looked back.

2009-06-17T17:02:55.777-07:00

It sounds silly, but my favorite moment is when Harry first gets the invitation to Hogwarts. He finally knows that there is something more for him out there. It opens up such a world of possibilities.

2009-06-17T15:34:24.276-07:00

I feel like this is kind of an obvious one, but looking at the other comments, perhaps not. For me, the final confrontation with Voldemort, with everyone watching Harry, and Harry, who knows he gets to win, and the huge surge of relief when it's over and we the readers, like Harry, aren't really sure what to do with ourselves. <3

2009-06-17T14:45:21.810-07:00

God, I am such a sap, because I honestly wasn't on the Snape bandwagon until the last book, and then I broke down crying when Snape sends out the patronus and Dumbledore says, "After all these years?" and Snape replies, "Always."

2009-06-17T12:56:54.106-07:00

I'm sure everyone has read "Deathly Hallows" by now, but just in case, spoilers below:

My favorite moment is when Harry uses the Resurrection Stone and brings back his parents, Sirius, and Remus. Harry has this absolutely amazing line, where he says, in that selfless way of his (slightly paraphrased, sorry), "I didn't mean for any of you to die. Especially (Remus, after just having had his son, Teddy). And Remus says, "He will know why I died and I hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life."

It kills me every time I read it, because I think it's just one of the main things that drives the characters in these novels.

2009-06-17T08:34:44.260-07:00

My favorite moment is at the end of the last book after the Battle of Hogwarts when Luna provides a perfect (calculated!) distraction so that Harry can escape the after party.

also, overall, I love the way that J.K. develops the character over the course of the seven books. His slow to grow, eventual courage made him even more heroic then Harry at the end of the seventh book, at least in my opinion. :) Not that Harry isn't wonderfully heroic, it just felt like Nelville's heroism was a more everyday, and therefore more spectacular form of heroism.
