Numero tres:
Dead Dobby!
Source.
Sorry. Was that too flip? Dobby's death really did move me, more than any other death in the series (yes, more than Dumbledore's). The house elf plight, given short shrift in the films, is an important thread in the novels. The elves are the lowest rung of the magical ladder, and yet, they are, arguably, the most powerful creatures. Their love of service and passivity make them easy to push around. But not Dobby! Dobby rescues the trio and friends at their most dire hour, sacrificing himself for them, foreshadowing what Harry must do later. It was a lesson Harry had to learn. That he digs Dobby's grave by hand is also testament to Harry's gratitude to Dobby. After all, Dobby is Harry's biggest fan. And I'm Dobby's:)
Everything about Dobby's funeral is perfect (and in complete contrast to Dumbledore's extravagant ceremony). Luna's speech is a tear-jerker, and the headstone, "Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf" is the ideal tribute.

#3 from GoF the movie version. I like to think of it as "Study Hall with Snape" this is my second favorite movie scene of all, well at least so far. In this scene Harry, Ron and Hermione are in study hall and of course they are not studying. Snape comes around and forcibly pushes Harry and Ron's head down. In the end he ends up smacking Ron in the back of his head with a piece of parchment.
