Sherry Gomes asked for favorite Harry moments, and I
couldn't resist responding and making this my first
post to the list after months of lurking, smile.

Sherry listed the following moments as her faves: When
Harry stopped Sirius and Lupin from murdering
Wormtail; when Harry saved Dudley from the dementors;
when Harry first saw Diagon Alley; when Harry hears
Sirius offer to share his home, and when Sirius tells
Harry he is "truly [his] father's son" just before
flying off on Buckbeak.

I agree, I love all those moments. Another scene I
just love is the morning of Ron's 17th birthday in
HFB, when Ron eats the box of chocolate cauldrons that
Harry tosses out of his trunk in his search for the
Marauder's Map, and that have been spiked with love
potion by Romilda Vane. JKR's writing is so excellent
in that scene.  The dialogue is so perfect, and I love
Harry's quick thinking, deciding against letting Ron
run amok because, after all, they WERE best friends,
but letting Ron down from the levicorpus hex with a
hard crash because, after all, he did hurt a lot from
that blow in the head Ron gave him.  

Mary, presently listening to Jim Dale reading Order of
the Phoenix and expects that she'll make it through
Half Blood Prince again just in time to pick up
smoothly with Deathly Hallows ...
