Also, Harry walking into that forest knowing exactly what it meant. I think it has to take more bravery to not fight than to fight.

I eventually went for the moment Hermione removes her parents' memories. Harry fully intends to sacrifice himself for other people, but who loves him will remember him. In comparison, Hermione removes her parents' memories based on a possibility, knowing that if they lose, her family will never even mourn her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-8151870630284110812014-07-18T13:59:36.500-04:002014-07-18T13:59:36.500-04:00I picked the same moment because I think it's ...I picked the same moment because I think it's THE moment of the books.

Gah that scene shattered my heart into a million pieces and filled me with hope, sadness and respect for Harry. It was perfection and achingly beautiful ♥ And I love that Neville finally gets his moment to shine and we get to see how truly far he's come. Harry inspired him for 7 years and it all came down to doing what needed to be done. And Neville stepped up!

It's just such an amazing moment for him. Harry meeting Voldemort in the Forest always makes me sad but also really proud of Harry, in a strange way! Just so courageous!
