My first favorite Harry moment is when he and Ron are getting acquainted and
Harry is so NOT full of his own celebrity:
*******************
SS/PS US version p.98-99
"Are you really Harry Potter?" Ron blurted out.
Harry nodded.
<snip>
"And have you really got you know..."
He pointed at Harry's forehead.
Harry pulled back his bangs to show the lightning scar.
<snip>
"Are all your family wizards?" asked Harry, who found Ron just as
interesting as Ron found him...
***************
And the second is when Harry unselfishly shares his newfound wealth with
Ron:
*******************
SS/PS US version p.101-102
Around half past twelve there was a great clattering outside in the corridor
and a smiling, dimpled woman slid back their door and said, Anything off
the cart, dears?
Harry, who hadnt had any breakfast, leapt to his feet, but Rons ears went
pink again and he muttered that hed brought sandwiches.
<snip>
Ron stared as Harry brought it all back in to the compartment and tipped it
onto an empty seat.
Hungry, are you?"
Starving, said Harry, taking a large bite out of a pumpkin pasty.
Ron had taken out a lumpy package and unwrapped it. There were four
sandwiches inside. He pulled one of them apart and said, She always forgets
I dont like corned beef.
Swap you for one of these, said Harry, holding up a pasty. Go on
You dont want this, its all dry, said Ron. She hasnt got much time,
he added quickly, you know, with five of us.
Go on, have a pasty, said Harry, who had never had anything to share
before or, indeed, anyone to share it with. It was a nice feeling, sitting
there with Ron, eating their way through all Harrys pasties, cakes, and
candies (the sandwiches lay forgotten)
