First of all: GREATE BOOK, I really thinks it was good, but only because of the ending.
I loved the ending (NOT that Dumbledor dies), when I read it, I just could'nt slip it:D.. Its was Great .
Whats bad? - I was a little dissapponted that Lupin not writting to Harry so much (know his on a job), but before i read the book, I really was looking forward to see them, knowing eathother a little bit better.
I'm also a little bit dissapponted, that Snape really IS EVIL:S.. But of cause, it is Snape
Saddest: Dumbledors dead, I cried, it whats, so.. Yes:D
Best: Harry and Ginny, Lupin and Tonks, thats greate, like the endning .. just wating to Hermione and Ron .. But really, don't know the best thing, there many:P

I thought Luna's quidditch commentary was absolutely hilarious! I also lost myslef laughing when Harry first tried out the levicorpus on Ron, and he just flew up in the air and after returning to his bed he said next time to use an alarm clock.
I nearly cried when Harry went to Dumbledore's office after the holiday break, and Dumbledore asked Harry about his visit with Scrimegour. Then when Harry admits that he's Dumbledore's man, Fawkes lets out a note, and Dumbledore starts to tear. I was so very touched. I also cried when Harry returns to Dumbledore's body and straightens his glasses and begins to clean his face.

the funniest bit for me was when ron finally came up for air when he and lavender stop kissin n it discribes it as a plunger sound i laffed for ages

The saddest bit was wen Dd pleads for his life and the worst bit was when Hagrid didnt believe him dead and then saw his body later on i nearly cried through the whole of the end!

For me, the saddest moment has to be where it says 'As he lay there, he beccame suddenly aware that the grounds were silent. Fawkes had stopped singing.
And he knew, without knowing how he knew it, that the phoenix had gone, had left the Hogwarts for good, just as Dumbledore had left the school... had left the world, had left Harry.'
That bit makes me want to cry, and I'm crying now reading it and typing it.
My second saddest bit in the book is where Harry breaks up with Ginny at Dumbledore's funeral, and Harry tells Ginny how he would feel, if it were her funeral and Harry's fault.
My third saddest bit is where Harry sees Meropes story. That is so upsetting about how her family and her husband treated her. I really didn't like the way her brother Morfin calls her a slut and says she dishonoured her family by sleeping with a muggle.
I also don't like it DM breaks Harry's nose. I used think Draco wasn't that bad but I don't like him now. (Tom Felton is still fit, though)
I don't really know what the funniest bit is but I like:

You SHOULD Be Worrying About

Funniest moments: there were quite a few humorous gems in this book, so it's going to be hard for me to pick just one out. All the Luna moments were great. The Sanguini moment at Slughorn's party also made me smile.
Saddest moments: when Dumbledore confronted Draco at the tower. I think it really showed a vulnerable, innocent side to Malfoy that we had never seen before. Malfoy is not this purely evil character. Of course, no one is purely evil (unless that person's Voldemort.) I thought it was tragic that Voldemort had such a tight hold on the Malfoys, and that Draco really didn't see any way out of his dilemma. Also, Dumbledore's funeral was very sad...it was the first time I had ever cried while reading a book.
Best moment: of course, I need a Grawp moment. I loved reading about how Grawp comforted Hagrid during Dumbledore's funeral. JKR sprinkled in some humor in describing this, and I felt like that helped make accepting Dumbledore's death (a little) easier.

Lets see:
The funniest bit- the Luna Lovegood commentary. I was really laughing when I first read this. I was really sad that Lee Jordan was gone because he was a good commentator. I never thought anyone could replace him.
The saddest bit- I would have to say Dumbledore dying. To tell you the truth, when I first read, I couldn't believe it. I re-read it like three times because I thought it was a mistake. I would have bet that Dumbledore would have died fighting Voldemort or something.
The best bit- Fred and George's joke shop. No really. I was just amazed by how much they accomplished. You would have thought, that by only recieving three O.W.L.s that they would hardly amount to something. But look, they are making more money than Percy, I bet, and he recieved like ten or something O.W.Ls. Remember those Shield Charm Hats they're making; they sold 500 to the Ministry. Imagine selling them like ten Galleons a piece. That is a lot of money. Every thing they make has advance magic. That is why I think that is the best bit.

There were so many funny parts in this book. One of my favorites is when Dumbledore tells Uncle Vernon about accidental rudeness occurring so often and that it's best if he remain quiet.
One of the best bits were when Dumbledore told the Dursleys that they never treated Harry as a son, but they had at least spared him from the damage done to Dudley. I also liked it when McGonagall told Neville that his grandmother should be thankful for the grandson she had. I thought both of those things really needed to be said.
Balderdash!
Aug 1 2005, 08:03 PM
Funniest - The glasses of mead attacking the Dursleys! I thought that was genious. It was so obvious that Dumbledore was amusing himself, trying to get his own back on them, on Harry's behalf.
Saddest - When Harry tells Scrimgeour, after the funeral, that he's still "Dumbledore's man through and through". I didn't cry - I don't usually cry - but it did have an effect on me. I was thinking about it, and how poignant it was, all through the next day. Also, Merope Gaunt's story was pretty horrible.
Best - Hmm, a couple of them. When Buckbeak attacked Snape. I had really hoped that he would finish Snape off, though. =/ Also when Ron was holding Hermione at the end. I was like, yes, at last!

Well... I can't choose 3 parts right now... i mean, I love lots of things!!! But I personaly love this parts:
1- "Harry looked around; ther was Ginny running towars him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her."---------------

Ohhh, it's sooooo cute!!! I was dreaming with that since I read COS!!! I'm a 100% Harry/Ginny couple since I was 10 (now i'm 15)
2- -- "He acussed me of being 'Dumbledore's man throught and throught' "
"How very rude of him"
"I told him I was"
Dumbledore opend his mouth to speak and then closed it again. Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry. To harry's intense embarassment, he suddenly realized that DUmbledore's bright blue eyes looked rather watry, and dtared hastily at his own knees. --------------------

That was so cute too... Oh this book have a lot to talk about... Well, I continue
3- --"It's going to be all right, sir," Harry said over and over again more worried by Dumbledore's silence than he had been by his weakened voice. "We're rearly there....I can Apparate us both back....Don't worry...."
" I am not worried, Harry" said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am whit you"----------------

The cutest one!!!! I thing it's my favorite... It make me cry!!! I really felt... I don't know how I felt when I read it, but it was great!!!
4- --"Such loyalty is admirable, of course," said Scrimgeour, who seemed to be restraining his irritation with difficulty, "but Dumbledore is gone, Harry. He's gone"
"he'll only be gone from the school when none here are loyal to him," said Harry, smiling in spite of himself.-----------------
I don't know if I'm the only one... but I don't like that Scrimgeour a lot...
Well... That's all by now... I love those parts of the book, and I love the book also!! When I read that Dumbledore was dead I wanted to stop read the book and close it!!!!

I was crying... but I trust totally in JK... she know what she's doing, and I think the next book will be awsome and totally different of what we read in HP books before

Aug 2 2005, 10:20 AM
ok, lets start:
sad:
- Harry and DD talking about Sirius, i was actually crying.
- DD's funeral and Harry talking about his plans. It is so unbelievable to me, that he wont go back to Hogwarts.
- Snape's betrayal(sp?), Ive always been a huge Snape fan. I was shocked when he killed DD.
- Narcissa and her visit at Snape. I really feel pity for her and Draco. I cant hate them.
- seeing Tonks unhappy
funny:
- all the scenes, when Harry is thinking about Ginny.
"He is your best friend's sister!"

i love it
- the Quidditch matches
- Phlegm
- DD reading Muggle magazines at the toilet
- Luna at Slughorn's Christmas Party
- Won-Won
- Hermione attacking Ron with the birds

Aug 2 2005, 12:16 PM
sad:
1. DD's death (I knew he was going to die, because in 5 book Rowling mentioned that he was old and tired, but why he died this way?????)
2. Snape being evil. I don't understand this and think there must be more than simply saying "I'm sorry" that DD trusted him. I mean, he was always mean guy but I thought that deep inside of him he's a bit good.
3. Billy's a werewolf
4. Draco in the toilet.
5. Bellatrix. I hate her. What a cruel stupid peron"If I had a son, I would be proud...." Go cure your brain!
6. Narcissa's pleading to Snape. Disgusting. I have the same feelings like Snape here. Indecent. Yeah, her husband and his cronies can kill others, but Voldemort can't kill her son because Cissy is sad
7. Poor Harry has so much things to do...
Funny:
1. Draco (I want to send them flowers")
2. Won-Won after drinking love potion. Oh my God, I laughed my ass off!!!!
3. Dobby (Dobby'll jump of the tower if he doesn't know where Malfoy is!)
4. U No Poo

Here goes:
Saddest bit- probably the thoughts that go through Harry's head during the funeral- very realistic- and fawkes singing in the background. That's about where I started to choke up.
Also the story of Merope and tom, and Luna's statement that the DA was 'Almost like having friends'.
Best bit- Toss-up between Harry stating and (later) restating his loyalty to DD, and the scene in the cave.
Funniest- lots here- "Sanguini." That is a fabulous name for a vampire!!!
- Ron being referred to as Rupert.
- Luna's commentary.
- Fleur "I am beautiful enough for ze both of us!" (ecause I actually know people who would not only say something like that, but believe it.)

hie there everyone
my funniest bit was the U-NO-POO, but also the bit when Ginny tells harry about romilda vane asking about a tattoo on his chest, and ginny saying he had really a horntail, and then saying ron had a fluffy thingie, but she wouldn't tell where, i just burst then!!!
for y saddest bit, it's difficult to tell: i would said when dumbledore is killed, but then i was just in shock, unable to take it in, and then, the part with bill in his bed, disfigured and mamied, and fleur surprising everyone, and then tonks grabbing lupin, i just burst out crying!
all in all, however, the best part of the book was the half-duel with harry and snape when he's killed dumbldore -"blocked again, and again, and again, until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, potter!"- and -"i, the half-boold-prince, it was MAGNIFICENT, SUPREME SUPERBE
the end was the most beautiulf bit, all in all, this book was the best of all!
Lav-Lav4Won-Won
Aug 5 2005, 10:46 PM
The funniest bit for me, well there are soo many.
I think the bit just after Hary kisses Ginny is funny as well, about the hippogrif tattoo. And the whole Ron/Hermione thing is funny as well because neither of them will admitt they like each other. Luna at the Quiditch match, commentating and her when Harry asks her to the christmas party and shes all excited.
The saddest:
Same as everyone else, the funneral. Started crying and had to stop reading because I couldn't see the page due to tears.
The best:
One of the best for me was Ron hugging Hermione at the end. I was like, yah!
The whole story is brilliant.

gwenhwyfar Posted on Aug 3 2005, 09:15 PM Saddest bit- probably the thoughts that go through Harry's head during the funeral- very realistic- |
Yeah i thought that that bit was realisticly done too. For the first time i think i actually properly connected with Harry, cos I hate to say it.
I laugh at funerals too

it's really not a good social skill to have. I do it by accident! I don't know why i do it, i just find everything that happens around me (even if it's not) so incrediabley funny, and i end up disguising my laugh as a cough. I do it on memorial sunday too during the minute silence. I really should stop, but that's my way of grieving. when i die i want every one just to giggle their socks off
I was at a funeral a few months ago and i was laughing silently, you know not to make any noise and i must have looked like i was crying because the old lady next to me was saying. 'It's alright dear, let it all out, it's alright to cry.' oopsie
JK must do it as well otherwise i doubt she would have made harry do it.
Anyway back on topic
I thought Merope's story was dreadfully upsetting also, unrequited love, i know how she feels!
Also Ron and Hermione not speaking, i thought that was sad too, they are so right for each other.
Also Harry breaking up tih Ginny and she telling her, that she had always silently hoped that he would like her :'( I'm so there with you Ginny!
Funniest - I love all the parts with Luna. Like when Harry asks her to the party, and she says Is that why you dyed your eyebrow? Should I do mine too? Or when she says something at the party (can't remember the exact quote) and Harry starts choking cause he's laughing so hard, and he thinks it was worth bringing her just for that.
Saddest - At the funeral, when Harry's thinking about how people have tried to protect him: his parents, Sirius, Dumbledore, and now they're gone, and he's completely alone. Also really touching was the part when Bill's in the hospital wing and Fleur gets all upset, and then her and Molly hug.
Best - the whole thing? No, I love all the Ron and Hermione parts. Especially when Ron says casually I love you, Hermione, and she gets pink. Those two are wonderful. And I'm not especially a Harry/Ginny fan, but I loved the part when he kissed her, because I think he's just awesome to be able to do something like that, as worried as he had been.

Best Bit: at the funeral when Ron is holding Hermione. i think the whole world sighed with relief, they are finally getting together.

Saddest Bit: definatly Dumbledore's funeral

Saddest Part: Would have to be that Harry forgot that Sirius died so fast.
|
Why so bitter?
I don't think Harry forgot Sirius' death, he refused meals and stayed in his room the whole time at Privet Drive, his room was a real mess. That’s how I did when my mother died! Such a deep sadness doesn’t need to last for months (thanks God it doesn't). After that it shows only when someone speaks about him, than he can't stand talking about.
The best part:
‘People expect you to have cooler friends than us’, said Luna, once again displaying her knack for embarrassing honesty.
‘You are cool', said Harry shortly. ‘None of them was at the Ministry. They didn’t fight with me’
My funniest part:
'Yes'
'Yes, sir'
'There's no need to call me sir, professor!'
If I was Snape, I'd have a real problem, because I would burst to laugh.
The saddest part:
And Harry saw very clearly as he sat there under the hot sun how people who cared about him had stood in front of him one by one, his mother, his father, his godfather, and finally Dumbledore, all determined to protect him; but now that was over. He could not let anybody else to stand between him and Voldemort; he must abandon for ever the illusion he ought to have lost at age of one: that the shelter of a parent's arms meant that nothing could hurt him. There was no walking from the nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died and he was more alone than he had ever been.

Funniest: DD hitting the Dursley's with the mead, it was hisatrical to me.
Best: When Harry hit Draco with the septasectum: Brilliant
Saddess: When harry told Ginny they couldn't be together, I waited 6 books for them to get together, they finally did and he breaks it off to protect her, stupid heros.
NickHilton
Sep 5 2005, 03:18 PM
Funniest Bit: Dumbledores arrival at Privet Drive.
Saddest Bit: Dumbledore growing weaker and becoming less powerful, which results in his death, in the cave.
Best Bit: Proffesor Trewlawney's, The Lightning Struck Tower speech, perfect!

Sep 5 2005, 03:42 PM
Hmm .. it's so difficult to say.
The saddest part, was in Dumbledores funeral. I started crying, and if you now look at that page, you can see that there has been water on the page, where my tears fell.
The funniest part (the book was so fun, I don't know where to start!) was when Dumbledore was hitting the Dursleys with the mead at Privet Drive, or when Harry said to Snape that it was no need to call him sir

.
The best part was when Ginny and Harry got together

. They're so cute!

Sep 5 2005, 03:47 PM
I don't have the book here. so I hope you understand what I mean, and excuse, if I don't remeber sentences right
Best parts:
1. Dumbledore and Harry talking about the propechy, especially the last bit. It was somethink like this: It was the difference of going to battle our head held high..... But Harry knew it meant all the difference in the world.
2.After Dumbledore's death when Harry didn't tell what they had been doing to Mcconal, beeing still loyal to Dumbledore
3. In Burrow at christmas and in Dumbledore's funeral:
''Dumbledore's man thorough and thorough''
Sadest bit:
1. Dumbledore's death ( I hate Snape!!!!) and his funerals
2. For funerals, when Harry realises that he's the only one who can destroy Horcruxes and beat Voldemort, and his alone now
3. Billy beeing atacked by verewolf
Funniest bit:
1. Dumbledore in Dursleys
2. Harry kissing Ginny. When I read the sentence, I laughed about 5 minutes before I could continue. It's romantic but funny
Darth_Oz
Sep 6 2005, 12:56 PM
Hmm... toughie
Funniest bit
"You-know-poo? They'll be murdered in their beds!"
Saddest bit
When Harry casts Sectumsempra on Malfoy - he really feels guilty for doing that I think and does not worry about his own fate
Nicest bit
When Fleur says that she'd marry Bill no matter what he looked like - that really made me smile
Coolest bit
When Ginny was fighting the Death Eaters, tanked up on Felix Felicis
Best bit
Harry talking about the future and going to find Godric's Hollow - finally!
samsmom
Sep 6 2005, 02:39 PM
Funniest - Wow! That's hard in this book. There was so much that I enjoyed, I laughed out loud many times, but the U-NO-Poo has to be a classic!
Saddest - When Harry told Hagrid that DD was dead, and he kept denying it. When they walked back toward the castle, and Hagrid saw the body on the ground and realized that Harry was right... It took a while for me to recover. Also, when Harry wouldn't leave the body, and different people tried to talk him into going inside, it was very poignient that all Ginny had to do was take his hand, and lead him away.
Best bit - When Harry was smelling the love potion, and later realized that the smell was Ginny.
I also liked - the part where Harry is under the invisibility cloak and bumps into Ginny, causing the argument with Dean that breaks them up. I enjoyed the part where Fleur stands up to Mrs. Weasley, saying that she's still marrying Bill, and Mrs. Weasley accepts her into the family in her own way.
Meggie
Sep 6 2005, 03:23 PM
Funniest... I'd have to say when Luna commentated the quidditch match, although Harry telling Snape that there's no need to call him sir is definitely up there
Saddest...when Harry had to make Dumbledore keep drinking the potion, even though it was making him ill
Best... hmm, so many, but my favorite was probably the very end, when Ron and Hermione tell Harry that they've had time to turn back and they're going with him no matter what he does

SAdd- When Dumbblydore dies cuz of Snape!

Darn You!! Darn You Snape To Heck!!!!!!!!!!
Best Bit-When Harry FINALLY goes out with Ginny and its soo cute and we all have that happy ending!!!
Madmoiselle Lilly
Mar 13 2007, 01:37 PM
For me, the funniest part was the "yes" "yes Sir" "you don't have to call me sir, professor". Haha, I thought that was great. But there were so many other funny parts like the "U-No-Poo" and the tattoo part at the end where Ginny is talking about the "tattoos" that Harry and Ron had.
The saddest part was definately the death and the reaction to the death and the funeral. It was soo sad and I cried for days over it! LOL! It was a great part of the book, one of my favourites, but it was incredibly sad.
Just for fun, I thought I'd say that my favourite quote in the book was:
"I see you are - "
"Dumbledore's man through and through," said Harry, "that's right."
Earlier on in the book, it's brought up but I couldn't find the page. You all know what I'm talking about. Any line with "Dumbledore's man through and through" - best lines in the HP series.

oh, yes; I liked that one as well; it expressed snape's usal sarcasm well, in my opinion.

Mar 24 2007, 04:33 PM
Wow. There are so many funny moments that it is hard to choose!
I'd have to give it to U-No-Poo: The constipation sensation that's sweeping the nation! with Malfoy's quote of "You'd better hurry up, they'll be waiting for 'the Chosen Captain'-- 'the Boy Who Scored'-- whatever they call you these days."
The Roonil Wazlib thing that occurred when Snape checked Harry's Potions book was also pretty funny... Harry was obviously in pretty deep trouble, but his excuse was really lame and just picturing the whole scene in my head made me crack up.
Saddest part... Dumbledore's death, with the Sectumsempra curse Harry puts on Draco when he's crying in the bathroom as a personal very close second
. I mean, come on, there's this poor kid crying in the bathroom and you put some spell on him that almost kills him? Smoooth, Harry
Most beautiful/nice moment is definitely when Fleur said that she'd marry Bill no matter what he looked like because she loved him. I never really liked her in the book until that point, and that was just so sweet of her to say
...

I think that the funniest, saddest, and best part of the book was Dumbledore's funeral.
It wasn't funny that he died, but how many of you can say when you read about Grawp sitting with Hagrid and comforting him you didn't chuckle. Or when Ron asked Hermione if he can punch Percy.
Obviously it was sad because it was a funeral. It was also sad because Harry broke up with Ginny. And who didn't feel bad when Hagrid was carrying Dumbledore's body and howling, or when Harry came to the realization that there was no more Dumbledore when Fawkes left.
I thought it was the best part because it all seemed so real. And those are the best parts of books, when you really feel like you're in the story, when that part of the book really affects you.

May 10 2007, 03:33 AM
The best part I can think of right now was when snape says "yes sir"and harry says" theree's no need to call me sir, Professor." I read that like 5 times in a row it was so great.
Harry's fake spiking of Ron's juice was also pretty great, same with the Romilda Vane love potion part. And when the Heads of Houses, Mcgonagall, Hagrid, and Harry are all making sure that DD be buried at Hogwarts
When Fawkes left the castle it was so sad.

the funniest moment for me is when harry and ginny were making out in front of the whole common room and ramalda want to throw aomething and dean broke glass. also in the next chapter the whole part about the tattoo hippogiff on harry and a pigmy puff on ron that was funny to.

Well, the very funniest part in the book to me, was this:
"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes,
sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."
That really, really had me laughing.
The saddest part to me was Dumbledore's funeral. It was poignant and raw and just so sad when his death was just so. . .
final. The phoenix, the emotion, people crying, really acknowledging he was gone.
The whole book was amazing, I loved it.
Those two parts were my favorites, for very different reasons. I love the poignancy and emotion of the funeral, and I love the humor in Snape's and Harry's exchange. It makes me smile every time.

That line with "You don't need to call me sir professor" was probably the funniest line in the book for me. I need to re-read the book again because I may have forgotten some of the funny bits but there is that one. Oh yeah! And the:
why are you worrying about U-KNOW-WHO
when you should be worrying about U-NO-POOH
the constapation sensation that's gripping the nation
Haha! That made me laugh so much.
The saddest part was the death of Dumbledore and the funeral and the aftermath and all that. I cried

The best bit for me would be the ending. That's always one of my favourite parts.
My favourite lines would have to be the ones with "Dumbledore's man through and through". When Harry said it at the end, it broke my heart. haha. And also when it's like "Dumbledore was gone from the Hogwarts, gone from the world, and gone from Harry." That might not be exactly how it goes but whatever. It's a very touching line.

Oh, this is a hard one...
The funniest would have to be "Won-Won!" I almost died when I read that.
The saddest was... hmmm... good question. I think it would have to be the continual bickering of Ron and Hermione. I always thought they should get together. We still have bk. 7...
The best was the Harry/Ginny kiss. I dropped the book and started screaming.
As you can tell, I'm a very shippy person.
When Sirius Died I Cried

Funniest?.. O.o;;;; Oh dear god, that's gotta be when.... huh?... I don't think there *is* any one time that stands out for me. >.<;;;;
EDIT: when Fred and George call themselves Gred and Feorge... now THAT'S funny. lol.
But SADDEST, oh man I've got that one DOWNNNN---- when Sirius goes through that barrier I dang near CRIED. When Lupin had to hold Harry back from following.... how sad. T_T
Umm... most TRIUMPHANT!!! That's gotta be when Fred and George ride out on their brooms and steal em/run off (or rather...
fly off..). lol.

Okay the best would have to be.... Fred (I think) calling out to Peeves and saying "Give her hell from us!" and then riding off. HAHAHA
The worst would have to be when Sirius died.... I didn't cry but it was sort of like I was numb or something like 'that didn't just happen, please tell me that didn't happen.' sort of thing.
There are sssoo many best and funny parts.... Fred and George and Sirius are some of the funniest (in my opinon)

Funniest thing for me in all of the books was when George sighed and told Harry that him and Fred tried to shut Percy up in a pyramid but their mum spotted them. or when George told Harry that he might have to attack Percy while in the shower. Oh golly, those are good times. Saddest bit for me is when Fred died. I felt so bad for George after that happened. I bet he was his best friend, not to mention his twin. I cried.

I thought the funniest bit of HBP was when Ron grew the mustache in Transfiguration and Hermione laughed at him and then Ron did an imitation of Hermione. I thought it was just funny how far they both went to get revenge on each other. The saddest part was definitely the funeral. I didn't really appreciate that part until I had someone close to me die in a car accident in December of last year. When I was reading HBP again a couple of months after this, I realized how great that part was written. During the funeral for my family member that died, there were moments that I wanted to laugh and moments that I cried, just like the emotions Harry felt during Dumbledore's funeral. The best part of HBP was definitely when Dumbledore is trying to make Harry understand how important love is. I still randomly read that part, it's so amazing. It's one of my favorite parts in the whole series.

hmm....its tough really to choose the saddest. the best bit would either be the "i am not scared harry. I am with you" part or the Malfoy explains it all part. Funniest is also difficult to choose seeing as how this book was especially humorous despite the ending. but i thoroughly enjoyed George's quote after Ron throws the knife at him. "if you want people to help you, Ron, I wouldnt chuck knives at them. just a little hint. We're off to the villiage, there's a very pretty girl working in the paper shop who thinks my card tricks are something marvelous...almost like real magic." basically sums up the twins in a nutshell

Oh wow!
Funniest: '' you dont need to call me sir, professor'' omg classic I couldnt believe he had actually said that to Snape...or that Snape didnt jinx him...hahaha
Saddest: Dd dying...ugh I knew it was coming but I still was NOT ready for it. It was utterly depressing...
Best :
QUOTE
I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, "I am with you.

It shows how much faith he had in Harry...and it breaks my heart...wow
