Geoff:
I agree with almost all your list, Alla - except certainly the 
epilogue. My moment, which I have quoted before, is the 
point in the Great Hall when Harry and Voldemort reach 
the end of their stand-offand the rising sun comes over the 
window sill as the final spells are spoken.

That was a moment of sheer ecstasy? ...beauty? ...drama?  
but it was a moment to savour.
