    Oh GOSH. That’s such a difficult thing to choose! I really enjoyed (while relistening last week) Harry’s first Christmas at Hogwarts. Who couldn’t imagine this boy who never got anything and always saw his cousin getting all these fantastic gifts opening his eyes on Christmas morning to presents. His first presents ever. It’s lovely and I got all teary eyed. It’s probably not my favorite moment ever from the series, but something recently rediscovered. I love these books so much.

    I am subscribed. I have retweeted http://twitter.com/marvolosriddle/status/12069638140 and I have followed the blog on Twitter. :)

    - My favorite HP moment: Has to be when Harry realizes Sirius is family and that he is not alone. Sappy, I know!

    Awesome contest! I have subscribed to the Twitter feed, retweeted, and subscribed to the feed. And, now for the tough part: I think my favorite bit from the books is either Neville Longbottom in the seventh book, tired of that MF-ing snake, or perhaps the Quidditch World Cup, when we start to really see how vast the wizarding world really is.

  • http://www.emisi.livejournal.com Emily

    Hmm, my favorite moment in the books… probably when Hagrid crashes through the door on the island they’re hiding away on and tells Harry he’s a wizard. It’s just funny and cute. :) Also re-tweeted and subscribed, but I have no idea how to link to my tweet. :-/

  • Linda

    My favorite moment {aside from reading every single word of every single book to my youngest} is when Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees his mom for the first time. Eeee, just typing it now brings a tear to my eye.

    Subscribing to your emails as soon as I find the link.

    One of my favorite moments is when we find out if Snape is good or bad.

    My favorite Harry Potter moment is the first trip up to the castle. All the trips were great. But nothing compared to the first boat ride.

    I must admit, It’s been awhile since I’ve read these books, and I stopped at number four, but I think my favorite scene was probably Harry’s first trip to Diagon Alley.

    My favorite moment? Gah, there are quite a few great moments through the series, but I think that the beginning of the first book is what I’ll always remember first–Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, flying motorbikes and magic, sucking the reader effortlessly into Rowling’s world.

  • http://angiebatgirl.wordpress.com AngieBatgirl

    My fave Harry Potter moment is from the Prisoner of Azkaban. The entire scene in the Shrieking Shack when we find out that Sirius is a good guy and Peter Pettigrew is still alive. And when Sirius tells Harry that he might be able to go live with him. Sirius is my fave character <3

    Here's my tweet: twitter

    I also linked on Facebook but my Facebook is mostly private so it wouldn’t show up if I linked it.

    Thanks for this awesome contest!

    I think my favorite Harry Potter moment was the scene to get Harry from the Dursley’s house to safety in the final book. it was intense and sad and just a very great scene.

    Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite HP book and most memorable was when Harry came to a realization he has family in Sirius!

  • http://bookslistslife.blogspot.com Lisa

    My favorite moment is near the end of Deathly Hollows and I dont’ want to type it out because it was a bit of a shocker! Someone unexpected returns to help!

    So many favorite moments! But one that comes to mind is the first train ride to Hogwarts, when Harry buys the entire contents of the snack cart to share with Ron after seeing the icky sandwich Ron brought with him. The beginning of a great friendship.

  • http://athomewithbooks.blogspot.com Alyce

    My favorite Harry Potter moment is when Harry comes in to the common room after the quidditch match in book 6 and sees Ginny. I love these books and would really like to win a set for my son. :)

    “It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.” Lily’s love for Harry saving him from harm at the end of the first book is one of my favorite moments.

    It is really hard to pick one favorite moment. One of my favorite moments was when Ron came and rescued Harry from the Dursleys and flew him away in the flying car.

    I love the books. Favorite moment (well, most touching, I think), when Hedwig’s cage is dropped during the escape. I cried!

    Need these books for my school – all of our copies are completely worn out.
