Just too numerous to mention.  Cedric's death, obviously and the 
whole aftermath - in particular, Harry not wanting to let go of 
Cedric's body, Sirius' reactions when Harry is recounting to 
Dumbledore what happened, the hug from Molly Weasley, Harry's misery 
at Sirius having to go to the "old crowd" when he desperately needed 
a parent - and then, him having to go back to the Dursleys.

Apart from that, the thing that really chokes me up every time I 
read/hear them are the scenes between Sirius and Harry - Sirius 
convincing Harry he is innocent, Sirius' baffled and anguished 
dialogue with Wormtail on the whole betrayal, and most of all, Harry 
thinking that he can go and live with Sirius, only to have his hopes 
dashed almost immediately afterwards.  Lupin leaving as well was 
pretty miserable - leaving Hogwarts, going out into an unknown 
future, an (almost) friendless world... Horrible.

There are lots of other scenes which have an affect when I don't 
expect them to - but the above are the ones which really do upset me 
everytime I read them.
