One reason I've put off rereading OoP is that Sirius's death and 
Harry's scenes with Nick, the mirror and Luna made me cry so much.  
What Nick had to say was especially poignant.  DD once referred to 
death as "the next great adventure".  Sirius would never have feared 
one of those...

If we're not talking about heartbreak and anguish, though, the scene 
where F&G blow Umbridge off and leave the school is brilliant!
