And what about the scene in CoS when the trio find out that Ginny has 
been taken into the chamber?  If I remember right "It was the worst 
afternoon of Harry's life.." up till that moment...they were too 
depressed to even talk to each other that afternoon (which was of 
course what galvanised Harry into rescuing mode, just to be doing 
something to take his mind off things).

And Meg Rose's mention of Barty Jr's trial reminded me that I find 
that scene, with Barty's mother sobbing disconsolately all through
the court hearing, and her husband ignoring her state as well as 
Barty's pleas, particularly harrowing.  Reading about the desperately 
sad last few months of Mrs Crouch's life was probably the closest I've 
come to tears while reading the books.
