I'm cheating on this one. My #2 favorite HP moments both involve a kiss:
The Silver Doe chapter:

I'm certain I've said this before on this blog, but The Silver Doe is my favorite chapter in all of HP canon. The entire series rests on the trio's strength as, well, a trio. Here is where it all reaches it's decisive and dramatic point. The trio succeeds or fails here. When Riddle Harry and Riddle Hermione emerge from that locket for a makeout session, we aren't sure how our boy Ron will take it. For a moment, we think he's possessed, that it's over for Ron, but he comes through like a champ. The series again reveals it's structure--Ron's journey begins in book 1 with a kickass chess match, and here, against the locket. Both times, he proves why the Sorting Hat put him in Gryffindor.
And, of course, THIS. KISS. YAY.

Man, we waited a long time for this one, slogged through a bunch of fanfic to get our fix, and kept our fingers crossed that these two would snog before either one got killed by Voldie. JK delivered, as usual, and gave us a satisfying but not overly saccharine resolution to this relationship. I read that Watson and Grint have already filmed this scene. It better be hot, or I will, will, um, write a VERY angry blog post about it. There. Quake in your boots, Watson and Grint.
I've saved my bestest moment for last. Check in tomorrow, and then, go see the damn movie.

#2 While Professor H has chosen the kiss between Hermione and Ron as her #2 moment, I too have chosen a Hermione moment for my #2 (I have been trying not to repeat moments so that you readers can have more variety). My #2 moment is when Hermione punches Draco in PoA. Although it is only the 3 book/movie I still found it very satisfying that someone finally let him have it and for it to be Hermione, pure poetry.
So while those of you watch HBP this week, please have mercy on those of us that must wait until the weekend to see the movie. It would have been perfect to go to the midnight show, but I need my sleep dealing with 2 younglings running around. I really wanted to go see it on opening day, but that would have meant keeping the younglings at a babysitter until 11 pm and that is not fair to them. So my hubby and I are going to the 4:30 show on Saturday which is perfect for the girls (they will get to spend time with their cousins and maybe even take a dip in the pool) amd they will be back in time for bedtime. So please, no teasing or posting any awesome scene from the movie until Saturday or at least put a warning for me.
