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."

Now me (Wendy)

My biggest OoP "yes!" moment was definitely when we found out that Firenze
was the new Divination teacher. I actually shouted "Whoo-HOOOO!" really,
really loud. That was fantastic.

There were lots of other OoP moments that I loved: Fred and George's exit
from Hogwarts was a classic, and several of McGonagall's comments were
priceless ("it unscrews the other way; the whole scene while Umbridge was
inspecting her class). Unfortunately, her overall behaviour throughout the
book has killed my enthusiasm for one of my favourite theories
(Evil!McGonagall). She rocked so hard in OoP I just can't bring myself to
think of her as evil anymore! <G>

Right now I can't seem to remember any big Yes moments from any of the
other books. I think I need to go back and re-read the whole series
straight through. My memory for details seems to be slipping a bit.

Cheers!
