Since the Tear-Jerking Moments seemed popular, let's add another list.

Really, I'm not a compulsive list maker. Honest.

Anyway, by "YES!" moment, I mean the moment where you openly 
exclaimed, cheered, shouted out loud, whatever. Here is an example, 
from one of my favorite movies.

In "The Princess Bride" when Inigo finally gets the drop on the six-
fingered man and says, "My name is Inigo Montoya and I want my father 
back, you son-of-a-bitch."

That's a "YES!" Moment. 

My HP examples:

SS: Gryffindor wins! Yeah, I know, poor Slyth, blah, blah, blah, but 
it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy in Draco Malfoy. 

CoS: Gilderoy gets his! I loved it when Ron and Harry turned their 
wands on him and HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

PoA: Hermoine slaps the taste out of Draco's mouth! Gryffindor 
winning the Cup ranks up there too, but for sheer, visceral pleasure, 
thinking about Hermione just taking out all the "mudblood" taunts on 
Draco is the tops.

GoF: Take THAT, you dog-faced bitch! The look on Pansy's face when 
Hermione steals her thunder at the Yule Ball. 

OoP: Hagrid snaps! He takes on like 40 (OK, four, but my heart was 
pumping like it was 40) Aurors and KICKS THEIR ASS!


Man, I need to go see Terminator 3 this weekend.
