   I'm not sure which scene I hated the most, there are quite a few, but 
one that bugs me, is Harry walking through the forest to give himself up 
to die.  Having his parents, Sirius, and Lupin there just made the gag 
reflex worse.  I recall on the list when many of us thought that Harry 
would offer up his life, most of the list came down like a ton of bricks 
quoting teen suicide statistics.  I expected to see Harry go in a fight, 
not the way JKR killed him. That whole story line is just silly.
