Now me:

I would have to say that IMO Hermione's finest hour was when she 
deciphered Snape's potion riddle at the end of PS/SS.  I also love 
how she tells Harry that he's a great wizard at the end of that scene 
and that bravery and friendship are more important than books and 
cleverness.

Probably not on a four-year old comprehension level, however, but JKR 
has said that her books weren't meant for anyone younger than 8, so 
I'm not sure you're going to find an appropriate passage for 4 year 
olds.  You may need to reword it yourself into language 4 year olds 
can understand.
