[HPforGrownups] what surprised you the most?

hmmmm,... good question...
The scene that made me do a double take was in GoF, where Harry was in the 
infirmery and he had just finished telling Dumbledore all the details in the 
triwizard tournament. Then Mrs.Weasley embraced him in a motherly hug, and 
that Harry thought that it felt good, because he had never had a comforting 
parental hug.
And I thought about it for about minute, and realized that Harry probly 
DIDN'T recieve something as simple as a hug from the Dursleys.
JKR really did capture that moment beautifully, for it was a very touching 
scene. She also ended it rather abruptly with Hermione capturing Rita 
Skeeter. I also like the fact that JKR doesn't drag out the scenes, like 
soap opera's.
