You have got to be kidding!!  At 11 he saved the Sorceror's Stone, preventing 
 LV from returning at that time.  At 12 he slew (slayed?) a basilisk, saved 
Giny's life and  prevented Riddle from coming back.  At 13 he (and Hermione) 
saved 2 innocents from death and a fate many considered worse than death. He 
also fought off 100 dementors.  At 14 to paraphrase Dumbledore he 'shouldered a 
grown wizard's burden'. Escaped from LV and the deatheaters and brought 
Cedric's body back to his parents.  What else does this 15 year old boy have to do?  
Walk on water?

Melissa (who has a feeling that even if Harry managed to do that it wouldn't 
be 'spectacular' enough)
