Re: where were Barty Jr.'s marbles - I agree with Suzanne: why 
are all the bad guys so DUMB? I suppose one could put it down 
to oversized egos - look how clever I am! Also, however, in this 
case, Barty sounded more than a little mad, which could explain 
the fact he never stopped to think he was in an area controlled by 
his master's archenemy ...

Re: saddest scene: Jenny from Ravenclaw ( who cries at the 
drop of a hat) had it dead on. There were touching scenes from 
the other books (like the one someone else mentioned, where 
Hagrid gives Harry an album full of photos of Harry's parents) but 
the scene at the end of GoF, where Harry is choking back tears 
thinking of Cedric's death, had me sobbing shamelessly.

much in books
