My favorite moments:

I like this thread!

My favorite moments invariably include Fred and George.  My most favorite is 
when Molly is shown Ron's letter saying he's been made a prefect.  When the 
twins learn of the disgace we hear:  "Oh, Mum's going to be revolting," 
groaned George.

And so Mum does get revolting:  "Mrs. Weasley let out a shriek just like 
Hermione's.  "'I don't believe it!  I don't believe it!  Oh Ron how 
wonderful!  A prefect!  That's everyone in the family!'."

"'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbors?" said George indicgantly, as his 
mother pushed him aside and flung her arms around her youngest son."

It goes on and is one of the scenes I had the most fun with.  Molly simply 
doesn't believe that fun and games and intelligence and success can go hand 
in hand.  I wish that JKR had given Molly more air time covering the moment 
when she saw just how successful these two sons had become.  She had to have 
noticed that their shop was the only one in sight that was successfully 
packed with shoppers in the otherwise depressing Diagon Alley, and had 
thoughts beyond fear at the sight of the poster in the window.  I can't wait 
to see how Fred's and George's inventions make a difference in book 7.

Another favorite time in the books was just after Fred and George made their 
big escape.  When the usually stodgy Professor McGonnegal joined the other 
teachers in allowing chaos to reign even to the point where she was giving 
Peeves a tip on how to unscrew a chandelier.

I can reread these books for the fifth time (and intend to) and can 
guarantee I'll be laughing out loud and getting funny looks from the people 
around me even then.
