In Order of the Phoenix, when Fred and George pull that last prank on Umbridge and then Leave to open their own store. I was just so happy that finally something bad happened to Umbridge. She was like a devil dressed in pink.

I feel like crying again for all those memories... tears of sadness and joy.
One of my saddest memories, I think, is when Dobbie dies and Harry digs his grave. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Tears of shock arose when Fred met his end...There are so many! A fond memory is when Neville produced his patronus for the first time in DA class, another when Fred, George, Harry, and Ron were saying things simultaneously(a hilarious moment!) another when Harry and Cedric thought of winning the cup together, another when Harry and Hermione saved Buckbeak, another when Harry finally understood Snape, another when Neville stepped forward and said that thing bravely about joining Voldemort when hell would freeze over and calling the DA, then sliced the snake in half with Gryffindor's Sword, and....OH! I can't do this anymore...I feel the urge to reread each one of the HP books so strongly now that tears are rising...
But my favourite memory must be when I began to read the third Harry Potter book, which made me fall in love with the English language and tore all my fears and hatred of the language away.(I had read the translated version of HP 1 & 2 before, but the translation for the third one had not come out yet, and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen, so I just bought the English HP Book 3, and it was the best decision :D ). My journey in the world of English books began with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and it has not stopped since. My journey in the world of books magnified because I fell in love with the Harry Potter series, and that is, I believe, my most favourite HP moment.
Oh to heck with it. My favourite moment is when Fred and George just showed that evil Umbridge (:D) and flew away, and even Hermione was pleased! ^_^

Attending all the book and movie premiere nights with my HP friends. I always went to the midnight showing and I bought a ton of Slytherin items.

Those are my favourite moments too! My best friend and I had a HP movie marathon a few days ago and I was bawling my eyes out right beside her :')
Or maybe the whole Im holey conversesion but thats a little tainted from Freds coma like right after that. Yes it was a coma Fred shall never die it is impossable
The chapter of Mirror of Erised where Harry sees his parents for the first time was my favorite memory of the book!I love the series. I too want to reread the series now. I also totally agree with you Gwen!

There are so many! My first favorite would have to be when I was on a guided tour in London on a school trip and my friend Brandon and I kept making Harry Potter jokes and then our tour guide smiled and said, "let's take a short cut" and we went down this little street and I was like "I recognize this place!" and it turned out to be where they had filmed Knockturn Alley. Still one of the best guides I have ever had!
My other favorite was when my best friend and I went to see the Order of the Phoenix in the theater (we live hours from a theater so this in itself was very exciting) and there was a bald man sitting in front of us that looked quite a bit like Voldemort from behind. When they were discussing Voldemort's whereabouts I blurted out, "Think we found him right here," and we both got one of the worst cases of the giggles ever.
However I think the best of all was having a Harry Potter day in my classroom. It is my first year teaching and Harry Potter was the first unit I taught in my class. We read the story together over the course of the month and did lots of work around it. On "Harry Potter Day" I redecorated the whole room to be Harry Potter themed. We were all sorted into houses, did Harry Potter fizzing paintings (paint with baking soda in it and then you spray vinegar over top), ate Bertie botts every flavored beans (Still feel horrible about the one boy gagging over the vomit flavoured one), created our own hogwarts pets, designed new bean flavors, created new spells and had a potions class (food color fireworks in a jar, soap/milk/food colouring in a dish and played with different potion ingredients (fake bats, eyeballs, spaghetti in red food dye, glowing flies, etc.) and played Quidditch in gym. It was such a fun day!
My favorite Harry Potter memory ever was going to Universal and going to Harry Potter World 3 weeks after it opened. I felt like a kid. I made my husband take all kinds of pictures of me. I think my kids were embarrassed! Lol! I didn't want to leave. Now that Rey changed it, I told my husband it's time to go back. Hopefully we can do that soon :)
My favourite Harry Potter memory is definetly when I found out that there were two more people in my high scool that love Harry as much as I do. We became best friends since then! and all we want to do is to go to Universal and be crazy together.
Reading both HP1 and HP2. They were so different and fast read compared to my other books. I just loved that whole school setup. I usually read 20-50 pages and take a brake, with those I could eat more than 100 pages in one sitting easily.
It's really hard to choose, as most of us have grown up with the saga. Perhaps my best memory, and even my first, is my primary school teacher reading the first Harry Potter book outside in the playground, under a willow tree. I was mesmerized by it and wanted to know more, or simply read it by myself, so I begged my parents to buy a copy for me and started reading it again and again.That was in 1997, and I was only 7 back then :)
I remember I watched a Harry Potter movie marathon with my brother and it was AMAZING
I went to Universal Studios in LA around 2 years ago (November of 2019) and I got picked for the wand ceremony. I was so excited that I literally broke out in a rash. Like my whole neck and shoulders were super red from being so excited haha probably one of the best days of my life tbh
Rereading the series recently and feeling I have eleven again.
Harry and Dumbledore's train station scene
I was living with my Nana at the time and couldn't ask her to buy the book for me because I was near eighteen, in my last year of highschool and it just didn't seem right asking for something that I didn't need.
Everyone knew I was a Harry Potter fan, but I'd not mentioned the last book coming out when I was at home, never mind complained about not being able to read it. My Aunt came over one evening, got me in the car and instead of going to buy dinner like I thought, she took me out to buy 'Deathly Hollows'. I swear, it was one of the nicest, most unexpected thing anyone's ever done for me.
