<p>"MOMENT TO BRING THE SERIES TOGETHER: When at the end Riddle uses Avada Kedavra and Harry uses Expelliarmus."
I agree completely! I wrote the same thing in one of the other hundred HP7 threads... haha =)</p>
<p>SADDEST: When Harry says "I am about to die" into the snitch.
AWED: When everyone showed up at Hogwarts to fight
"WOOT!": Neville standing up to Voldy!
<em>TEAR</em>: The thought of no one coming home to Kreacher after he cooked all day... that made me incredibly sad, for some reason =P
"I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!": Harry being a Horcrux!
MOST CHILLING SCENE: Godric's Hollow... I could picture it all perfectly...</p>
<p>SADDEST: FRED. Dobby dying wasn't sad, it was beautiful. ***.</p>
<p>AWED: Snape being good (I figured he was at the end of the last book, but...)</p>
<p>"WOOT!": "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****"</p>
<p><em>TEAR</em>: Fred.</p>
<p>"I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!": Neville becoming Herbology Professor, Harry as a horcrux, horcrux in the room of requirement, Ron and Hermione (duh ;))</p>
<p>BEST QUOTE: "He has the capability of going faster than Severus Snape when confronted with shampoo".</p>
<p>SADDEST: Harry accepting and saying He was about to die..</p>
<p>AWED: Snape loved Lily all this time ...& when Harry walks right up to Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, as he says 'I believe I was...mistaken"...he takes off his cloak and goes "You weren't"...& when Harry plays dead, then pulls his Cloak, until Voldemort is going to curse Mrs. Weasley, and he removes it and shields her</p>
<p>BEST 'Non-action, non-fight scene': When Pansy says Harry was there, and all Griffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs turn to the Slytherins to protect Harry..it is like it seems it was with the 4 founders, when Slytherin parted from their ways.</p>
<p>"WOOT!": When Harry, Ron, and Hermione escape Gringotts bursting through the vault and flying on a dragon (?!), also when Harry Crucios the Carrow who spat on McGonagall (He says something like..Now I understand what Bellatrix said, you have to really mean it..haha)</p>
<p><em>TEAR</em>: When Harry was walking past the dead bodies and people griefing under his Cloak, past Ginny and the girl she was helping...trying to move on and looking back</p>
<p>"I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!": RAB being Regulus Black, Voldemort being killed</p>
<p>BEST QUOTE: "Don't pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, especially those that live without love" - (something very near to that) Dumbledore on the chapter King's Cross</p>
<p>QUOTE: "Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's."--Hermione. I'm sorry, but that's the best double entendre I've heard in a while, esp in a children's book. (whether she meant it or not.)</p>

MOMENT TO BRING THE SERIES TOGETHER: When at the end Riddle uses Avada Kedavra and Harry uses Expelliarmus. At that point I just thought, JK Rowling is a damn good writer, and really knows her ****. It is foreshadowed, that Explliaarmus is Harry's signature move, even in the face of death he chooses to disarm rather than kill. Dumbledore speaks wisely when he says, "Harry, you are the Master of Death."

</p>
<p>I really liked that. Espiecally because Lupin essentially said "Listen, Harry, you can't use that spell to save the world. It's a pretty sucky spell, actually..."</p>
<p>SADDEST: I started tearing up when Harry's parents, Sirius, Tonks, and Lupin appeared beside him and helped him walk to Voldy.</p>
<p>AWED: When Snape showed Harry his memories and the whole mystery between Snape and Dumbledore unfolded.</p>
<p>W00T!: When Neville cut off Nagini's head.</p>
<p><em>TEAR</em>: Harry's walk to his "death"</p>
<p>BEST QUOTE: "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU B*TCH!" Mrs. Weasley, pg. 736 or "OI! There's a war going on here!" Harry, pg. 625, when Hermione snogs Ron. HAHAHAHHAAHA. Love those quotes.</p>
<p>TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH: Ron and Hermione :) I kinda knew they would get married, too. But I thought it was a TAD bit unrealistic how they all got married. Hah. What did Harry do after Hogwarts? What did they all do? I wanted to know what they ended up doing for careers...</p>
<p>for your saddest momeny, tonks wasn't there. only his parents, sirius, and lupin.</p>
<p>edit: and for your last question about what they all end up doing, JK did an interview that answered it.
Harry and Ron went became Aurors and have revolutionized the department. Hermoine is also in the ministry of magic... but i forgot where...
anyway, they've made the ministry a much better place than it was. it's no longer corrupt, and she said it's a really good place to be.</p>
<p>Saddest: between Snape's entire newly-revealed life and Fred dying
Most surprising....Fred dying
Best quote: when Harry asks his mother to stay by his side.
Most annoying: the quick, almost casual deaths of Hedwig, Fred, Tonks, Lupin...too quick. Dobby got a lovely and really long send-off in comparison.
Corny: the kitchen elves coming in to the fray with cutlery...seemed squeezed in and last-minute. So did the giants.</p>
<p>Snape's life. I always loved Snape.
Fred and Dobby dying.
Harry walking to his death.
Lupin and Tonks dying after just bringing a new life into the world. </p>
<p>(I cried in all of them and still get teary-eyed when I think about them:()</p>
<p>--Awed--</p>
<p>The Deathly Hallows. J.K.R is a genius. </p>
<p>--Best Quote--</p>
<p>The part where Harry Ron and Hermione reach Hogwarts's room of Requirement and Ron says: " 'Well, food is the first exeption to the rule of Magical Transfiguration' said Ron to general awe" lol.</p>
<p>--Cried--</p>
<p>(All of the aforementioned in "saddest")
When all the house-elves and other creatures joined in the fight with Voldemort. It was amazing how so many would unite for the "greater good."</p>
<p>--Woot!--</p>
<p>Neville is a true Gryffindor!
Harry not dying! Yay!
Harry naming one of his sons after Professor Snape</p>
<p>-- WTH moment ---</p>
<p>Dumbledore planning Harry's death all along.</p>
<p>You didn't??? It was so sad!!! Yes I cried throughout most of the second half. And when I finally finished the entire book, I got up from my bed, stood in the center of my room, spread my arms towards the sky (or ceiling) and started spinning around in place thinking I was a marigold. I had tears in my face and a ridiculously big smile. :)</p>
<p>I didn't get emotionally involved with the characters at all. I never knew people could get so emotionally involved with fictional characters; with mere images constructed in their mind by [the recognition and analyzation of] odd symbols etched onto pieces of glued wood fibers. :p </p>

<p>Fascinating. Was this some sort of ritual? What do you suppose it symbolizes? Was it an expression of your joy?</p>
<p>I didn't cry.
In fact, I was kind of upset that I hadn't gotten as emotionally attached as some people had.
The only part that I thought was really sad was harry walking to his death. I was no where near tears.</p>
