Harry Potter Moment of the Week (142)

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts and Lunar Rainbows Reviews. 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:
Favorite Quidditch Moment? From the Matches, Practices or Even the Quidditch Cup

The Quidditch moment that always pops into my mind first is from Sorcerer's Stone, when Harry catches the Snitch in his mouth. What a first ever Quidditch match for our hero—it nearly ends in disaster thanks to a jinxed broom! Harry winds up winning the match for Gryffindor, though, and I love how that moment is revisited in Deathly Hallows.

  1. Awww we went with the same moment!! I love how young Harry saves the day and how it all comes back full circle in DH ♥ What it means in DH and what it leads to really makes me emotional :*)

    1. Gah, me too! I absolutely love how it ties in to such a significant part of DH; just brilliant!

  2. I caught parts of Deathly Hollow a few weeks ago. I've forgotten about Ron trying out for the team! I do love that scene with him all clumsy, Hermione helping him out, and that girl who fancied herself inlove with Ron. So cute!

    1. I think I caught the same HP movie marathon, lol. If I catch an HP movie on TV, I'll totally watch it, even though I've seen them so many times!

  3. That was a really cute moment! I'm still reading the series right now (on Order of the Phoenix), so all of the Quidditch scenes are still really fresh in my head. I might have to join in on this meme soon! :)

    1. I hope you join in- it's a lot of fun! :D It's been quite a long time since I last read the books; I definitely need a refresher on all of the Quidditch stuff, lol.

  4. LOL you two did choose the same moment! I love this one though. I think Rowling was right on point with making it a save for Harry, but also one that didn't make him out to be too amazing for his first time. I love that the snitch came to mean something very significant later on as well.

    1. You're so right- Harry has his moment, but it kind of just happened, lol. And I'm still in awe at how JKR brought that particular Snitch back in the last book!

  5. As soon as I saw the subject of this post, I immediately thought "Harry catching the Snitch in his mouth". Just a classic moment, really, and I also really like the Quidditch match in CoS when he wipes the floor with Malfoy :)

    1. Ughhh- Malfoy! I thought Harry's first Quidditch match was going to end in a Gryffindor loss and possible injury to Harry, but all ended perfectly instead!

  6. That's the first one I think of too. Him hurling up the snitch to win is a pretty unforgettable moment.
