I have to agree that the saddest scene from all four books is the 
aftermath of Cedrics death from the moment where Harry brings back 
his body right through to the end. Particularly well expressed is the 
description of Harrys change in perception of other people and of 
friendship when he leaves the infirmary, it is written succinctly but 
with real feeling.

Another from GoF that I find particularly powerful is the trial of 
Barty Crouch Jr. The devotion displayed by the woman (who I have 
always assumed to be Mrs Lestrange) is wonderfully fanatical and 
gives an alternative to the view that all DE's follow Voldemort 
because they are scared. She is a true believer.
