Hey, I'll go along with this ... these are random, as I think of them, in no 
particular order.

1.  Harry's undiminshed "sense of wonder" at the Wizarding World.  (It's 
worth noting that although Hermione is also new to that world, she never 
seems surprised, impressed, or even interested in things which she's never 
seen before.  And compare with the muggle-born Creevey boys.)

2.  The lavish descriptions of food at Hogwarts, the Burrow, Florean's Ice 
Cream Parlor ...

3.  Dumbledore kicking the posteriors of four Ministry wizards in OotP.

4.  Bill and Charley jousting with tables in mid-air at the Burrow.

5.  The entire Quidditch outing, until the Death Eaters got drunk and ruined 
it for everybody.

6.  The moment when we realize that Mrs. Figg is not what she seems.

7.  The Amazing Bouncing Ferret. ("Moody! How cool is he?")  Even knowing 
the truth, I still love it.

8.  The dialogue with the wizards who came to get Harry in OotP. ("Better 
wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!"  "Who do you know who's lost 
a buttock?" "Never you mind!")  (Moody walks with difficulty.  It may be 
because he has a wooden leg.  Or it may not.)

9.  Ron's sense of humor.

10.  Lupin's teaching style.

that's why)
