That's a great one. Here's another one of mine and you had a part in this one, Duddahs. I have posted before how I took a really long time to watch DH 2 because I dreaded seeing so many great characters die. When I finally did watch it I really loved it though. Anyway before I watched it Duddahs kept mentioning about Snape's tear-I just thought it was meant he was crying. Then watching the movie I saw how they actually used the tear for memories in the pensieve and I immediately knew that's what Duddahs had meant! I remember that now every time I watch that movie.

Fangsfan1, Duddahs hopes that he did not spoil the moment for you re; "the tear" scene. Of all of the moments in DH2, this is the one that haunts Duddahs soul the most;  there is something about the way Snape's hand trys in vain to urge Harry to "Take it!" |

No you didn't spoil it at all, in fact it made it more fun because it wasn't what I had been expecting. It's one of my favorite scenes too and also when he tells Harry he has his mother's eyes right before he dies.

I remember first seeing the troll scene in SS. I loved the way Hermione urges Ron on by saying Wingardium Leviosa and then when it works Ron just saying "cool." And then Maggie Smith as McGonagall acting so disgusted but then giving them the points. I thought that scene was perfectly done.

That's a good one, I think everyone loved that one!
I remember my first glimpse of Near Headless Nick. I have always loved John Cleese and although he's absolutely nothing like how I pictured Nick, it was so good to see him as part of everything, he just seemed to fit.

Oh mine too, both in the book and the movie.
I also loved the glimpse of the Halloween celebration at Hogwarts with all the jack o lanterns on the ceiling-one of my favorite holidays and I loved showing that way of celebrating it.

OH man. I love this thread Duddahs. I can see I'll have TONS to post here. Great thread. I'm still backreading, but want to comment so much on things already spoken about. But first, I'll have to say one of mine. (Not sure YET if it's already been noted by one of you already.) For me, I discovered the first film before watching picking up the books. Ever since then, every time I went to one of their premiers, while sitting in the audience waiting for the curtains to part, Then there it happens.... The traditional THEME TUNE! I got goose bumps each and every time. I missed getting to see the first one at theaters, however recently, I caught the ABCFamily's Harry Potter weekend once again. It still happens for me... GOOSEBUMPS! Another moment in time for me had to do with Scrimgeour. I had seen him in the movie and not thought too much about it until someone on the HP actors in other movies mentioned he was in Love Actually. That's one of my favorite movies-I hadn't recognized him as Scrimgeour at first! I had to go back and watch it again-they were too such totally different characters. I still so a double take every time I see Scrimgeour now. SO FUNNY! Back in the day that Love Actually was due out, I was hanging out with my friends over at the Alan Rickman Forum. Of course no one ever let it pass when Alan was going to be in something new without telling the rest of us. I didn't get to see that until it was for rent. I LOVE Bill Nighy. I was shocked that he was cast for Scrimigeour. However, I am so glad that he was. I still think of him as Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Carribbean films. But what I think is so funny, when I read your post, I had just finished watching Love Actually, this morning on tv. LOL! |

I always loved how Trelawney and Rita Skeeter looked identical to how I imagined when I read the book.

Then watching the movie I saw how they actually used the tear for memories in the pensieve and I immediately knew that's what Duddahs had meant! I remember that now every time I watch that movie. Honestly, I was so worried about this scene. I know it would have been too gruesome for the film makers to make that scene the way it went in the book. I was horrified and it really tore at my heart and stomach in the manner JKR used to kill him. But I don't think she could do anything but that way.
So in the film, I worried that if they TRY to make it a PG 13 film, they can't do it that way. So how could they do it justice? I was worried they'd do something lame. I was sooooo glad they thought up that tear. It made my heart beat so hard. It was perfect. Saying that, I still would not choose JKR's or the film version were better... just different. The whole difference between film and book. Both were right for their type media.

Another moment in time-this sounds silly but I loved talking with Grandpa Lovegood about Umbridge's cat plates-Harry thought they were foul but we both loved them. Then when the movie came out-there they were! Cat plates that actually meowed-I got such a kick out of the moviemakers including this small detail. Every time I see that scene, where Harry goes into her office, I think of you and smile. I remember that conversation.  |

That scene broke my heart as well. Secretly, I was hoping the film makers would cut that part out, thinking they cut out other parts, why not this one for Hedwig. But I knew they couldn't. 
--------------------
Something I think about every time I see the scenes where Lupin turns into a werewolf.... and just before when Sirius Black was talking with Harry alone... and later when Harry and Hermione were both waiting for their first selves to come out and head for the tree... the feeling was so cold. The scene was definitely a cold chili night. I LOVED looking at the way the clouds cross over the bright full moon in the night's sky.
To this day, every time I go out of my house on a cold chili night and see the skies just like that, I tell my daughter there's a "Lupin's Moon out tonight. It brings back a smile and a flood of memories of the very night I went to see it for the first time at the theater. Same skies as was in the film. Also, memories of my online friends from that time. |

That's a great scene. Regarding the werewolf scene, I also loved how Snape stands in front of the kids to protect them, something that wasn't in the book. Also the way Sirius tries to talk to Lupin the werewolf and bring him back into himself.

Wow, I forgot that he didn't do that in the book. Thanks Fangsfan. I'm soooo in need to reread this whole series. As mentioned above, I'm enjoying my start already. ... Another scene that moved me, were the scenes when Harry went to Diagon Alley for the first time. All of the excitement of everything new. I remember when I watched movie one for the first time, like Harry, wondering what in the world is Quidditch. He watched all of the other kids his age drooling over the latest broom. I'll bet Harry thought it strange that there are REAL witches and they really DO ride brooms. |

Just a little scene but I loved it when Harry innocently tells Uncle Vernon he doesn't know how the snake got out "It was like magic." And the outraged look on Vern's face cracks me up-I always loved Richard Griffiths in that part.
