Well, we've all the other 'Most...' combinations let's try this one.

What is the most heart wrenching or emotional line or scene in the
book to you the reader?

In CoS Harry certainly was on the 'outs' with most of the students and
was feeling very lonely, but that was nothing compared to the aching
loneliness he felt in GoF. 

Here is the scene that made my heartache, and still does. By far, GoF
has been the most emotional book so far.

Location: The Hogwart's Owlery.

Scene: Harry is sending an owl to Sirius to tell him that his,
Harry's, name has just come out of the Goblet of Fire, and he is now
the fourth champion.

"Finished," he told Hermione, getting to his feet and brushing the
straw off his robes. At this, Hedwig cam fluttering down onto his
shoulder and held out her leg.

"I can't use you," Harr told her, looking around for the school owls.
"I've got to use one of these..."

Hedwig fave a very loud hoot and took of so suddenly that her talons
cut into his shoulder. She kept her back to Harry all the time he was
tying his letter to the leg of a large barn owl. When the born owl had
flown off, Harry reached out to stroke Hedwig, but she clicked her
beak furiously and soared up into the rafters our of reach.

"First Ron, then you," said Harry angrily. "This isn't my fault."

I've never felt such heartache or felt so sad for Harry as I did when
I read that last line. That whole time that Harry and Ron are fighting
is a very heart wrenching part of the book.
