Harry Potter Greatest Moments: Part 1

Well today I am going to share the TOP 10 Harry Potter book moments and TOP 5 Harry Potter movie moments. This will consist of 3 parts. Please feel free to share yours as well, so we can compare and talk about them

Harry Potter Top 10 Book Moments:

1. My first pick is in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Harry looks at Snape's memories and finally realizes Snape was a good guy. Rowling made this a perfect plot twist because she had most of us, if not all of us, fooled about what his true motive was. Also, this justifies a lot of Snape's actions and feelings of Harry than just Snape's hate for James Potter. His memories were a very important piece to the Harry Potter puzzle, which we call a series.
2. The next top moment comes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The part that I felt was important was when Sirius dies at the battle in The Ministry of Magic. Though sad I felt Rowling was right in allowing Sirius to die. Harry true destiny was to defeat Voldemort and stop the Death Eaters reign. And with Sirius there Harry was becoming attached to him, which isn't bad, but during that time Harry should only be focused on defeating Voldemort. There is also, and underlying theme that Harry must do it alone, which he did no matter what way you look at it. Dumbledore, his parents, and Sirius death were necessary for him to grow and succeed.
3. Another moment I felt was important, though many might not agree with, is when Dudley shakes Harry's hand and is genuinely worried about him. This was a touching moment because throughout Harry's life Dudley was second to none in making his life miserable. So when this change of heart comes it is a happy moment, but sad because it has to end so soon.
4. A significant moment, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is when was when Snape kills Dumbledore. Though we didn't know at the time, this was very tough for Snape and one of his most difficult trials in his life. This moment has gained more meaning after Deathly Hallows explained it. Dumbledore had trusted Snape and Snape the same, but when Dumbledore proposes the idea to allow Snape to kill him because he was dying any way Snape is appalled. This test Snapes loyalty to both the Dark Lord and Dumbledore, though in different ways. In the end Snape kept true to his words even though his soul was going to be damaged as he told Dumbledore. This moment shows just how heroic Snape was.
5. A very, very important moment was when Voldemort returns in Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire. This was important because the main bad guy of the story finally makes an appearance and now the book has its real conflict in which the main character must overcome. This part, at the end of the book, sets the tempo and other actions that will follow and ultimately the end of the series. It truly started at this part in a sense and ended with his fall as well.

This is it for now stay tuned for part 2 and 3.
Par 2 will be 5 more top book moments and part 3 will be 5 movie moments.

Harry Potter Greatest Moments: Part 3

At last part3. For this part I will name the top 5 Harry Potter movie moments and talk about them just like I did the top 10 moments of the book.
Here we go!

1. A movie moment that stands out and can be considered in this top 5 list is. . . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when they are playing wizarding chess. That part is amazing and fun to look at. Hey, I would love to have taken part in that. This part isn't a serious point like most of my book moments but it is important to me because it looked breathtaking in a sense.
2. My next top movie moment is when Harry watched him and his godfather being killed by dementors and he casted his stag patronus. This was in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This was nice moment because it allowed us our first true glimpse of his patronus, in full power. Also, it is weird when we get to see him watching himself die and then save his own life. Ha ha.
3. A great moment in Harry Potter movies was in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when they were battling at the Ministry of Magic. The fight was amazing, they were black and white blurs dashing across the place, sending jinxes and curses at each other. Also, the 2 on 2 when Harry and Sirius were fighting and Sirius calls Harry by his father name "James". That part is epic because it is like Sirius and James fighting along side again. But sadly Sirius dies shortly after. At least he got the illusion on being with James again before he left.
4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is where our next great moment comes from. The scene when they show us Slughorn. I was very interested in what Professor Slughorn looked like and their portrayal of him is somewhat what I expected him to be and also the memory which he tampered with was funny. He did a bad job.
   
5. The final part of this is Voldemort vs. Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This fight had excellent visuals which were breathtaking. The way they were moving things and front of them and the very end when Voldemort screamed was awesome. I actually bookmarked this fight on youtube, I was truly impressed with this fight. Also, it was very accurate in terms of the book and how Dumbledore using the statue was the chapter cover and a physical part in the book.

Well this is the end of my top 10 book moments and top 5 book moments. Looked forward to me doing this with Eragon and Twilight as well.
Thanks for reading!
