Harry Potter Moment of the Week (40): Best Harry Moment

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Best Harry Moment

How do you choose just one here?! I mean, we're talking about The Boy Who Lived and saved everyone—wizards and witches and Muggles alike! This is a really tough decision, but I'm picking Harry conjuring the Patronus to save himself and Sirius from the dementors in Prisoner of Azkaban. He had struggled so much with the spell during his lessons with Lupin, and to see him finally conjure the stag, and under those circumstances, was just freaking amazing.

  2. LOL yup, I struggled to narrow it down too this week. Harry is without a doubt THE most heroic MC in history so we had a multitude of ways to go here. I have ALL THE LOVE for your pick though. This moment is so so special ♥ When the chips are down, Harry ALWAYS comes through but to have him be able to witness his own self save his godfather?! Sigh...I just can't even describe my happiness when I first read this bit! Wonderful choice Lee ^^

    1. It's so heart-stopping as Harry waits for his father to conjure the Patronus and then realizes that Harry himself is the one who has to do it! And yes, I totally admit to being quite partial to this moment because of the Sirius factor! :D

  3. It's so hard to pick so if I were to choose it'll the the beginning when he got a letter and his muggle aunt and uncle were blown away and scared shitless of Hagrid

    1. The Dursleys' fear of Hagrid was hilarious! It was about time someone put them in their place, too!

  4. It really is difficult to pick one moment if you've got 7 novels at your disposal! I did love this moment as well because it's so important for Harry to save himself rather than to be saved! Thanks for sharing :)

  5. That was a very big moment. I was wondering what was going to happen when I first read that part and he said he saw James. I'm so glad it ended up the way that it did. It was something that really gave him a lot of confidence and allowed him to teach others. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    1. I loved how brilliantly plotted that part was. I also wondered how it was possible for James to have conjured the Patronus, and the way the reveal unfolded- wow. Ingenious!

  6. I was so happy the first time Harry managed a patronus, I was so scared about the happenings by that lake! Wish Lupin would have taught them more.

    1. All I could think as the Dementors swarmed the lake was, "NOOOOO!!! Sirius!" I could have cried when Harry saved the day with the Patronus!
