Favorite Moment in Book 6
For me, Half-Blood Prince is probably the saddest book in the series, thanks to, you know, That Moment That Must Not Be Named. I need to pick a lighter moment for this week's topic, so I'm going with Slughorn's Christmas party. I thought it was so sweet how Harry took Luna to the event. I also laughed at Hermione's attempts to avoid Cormac McLaggen all evening; I loved how that was incorporated into the film version of HBP.
That party was a bit of a mind-rest for everyone, and I was glad Harry went with Luna. They seemed good together and it was nice to see then have a bit of fun.
ReplyDeleteFor sure! I've always found HBP to be one of the darkest books in tone, with all of the flashbacks to Voldemort's past and the ending. This little break from the heavier stuff was very welcome.
DeleteAwwww, that's a wonderful moment, I agree with you Lee! I was always especially touched that Harry chose to bring Luna with him ♥ You're right that HBP is a terribly sad book but Slughorn's party is definitely one of the lighter and funnier moments :-D Awesome pick ^^
ReplyDeleteI don't think Harry could have chosen a better companion to bring to the party. It was so sweet of him, and I just love Luna.
DeleteAhhh great pick Lee! This was on of the funniest moments in the series. Hermione gave me so many laughs in that chapter :)
ReplyDeleteMcLaggen was so obnoxious I couldn't help laughing, but at the same time, I felt so bad for Hermione! She really got more than she bargained for agreeing to go with him!
DeleteI felt the same way about book 6. Once book 5 hit, things really got sad and 6 didn't get better. I agree with your moment a lot. I love the eyebrows line so much!! I'd have to also say the moment when Harry and Ginny get together. I approve of that match even after all the controversy going on. It was a definite bright spot in this one.

ReplyDeleteI loved the shocked reactions of everyone to the news that JKR thought Harry and Hermione should have gotten together, lol. I've always been happy with the way the relationships turned out, and it made perfect sense for Harry and Ginny to get together since she had such a huge crush on him starting in Chamber of Secrets.
