This was a very moving scene for me, the striking notion that this 
boy had grown up without so much as a mother's hug. I admit I welled 
up a little bit. And I also shed a few tears for Cedric, the "spare".

How about you guys? Any misty moments while reading the books that 
you care to admit?

P.S. Like Kelly, I too have noticed that JKR knows how to throw in 
a timely diversion to keep things from getting too sappy. Just 
another piece of her genius.
