Can’t really answer your question as it is my oldest daughter who is the Harry Potter fan. She has read every book, seen the movies, etc. If she was home right now, I’d call and ask her. I know they have collected many items as they are big fans.

There are so many! I grew up with this series, and it was the biggest thing. I always liked the 3 headed dog!
I remember first hearing about Harry Potter watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire when I was pregnant with my now 12 year old daughter. I very soon after found a copy of the first book at a discount store and it was all over after that. I was hooked 🙂 Now my whole family enjoys the series.
sorry, I went off of the favorite memory of harry potter instead of the rafflecopter instructions, my fave moment from the series hmm..that is tougher…I would have to say when Harry Potter discovers that Sirius black is actually a friend instead of out to get him.
1st episode when he gets the letter to the boy in the closet under the stairs

too many favorite moments to mention, but since I didn’t read the books (just saw the movies) I really couldn’t wait to see how it all ended – and I loved the ending and wrap up of the series!
Definitely when Hagrid first tells him he’s a wizard. Iconic!
When Hagrid shows up for the first time to get Harry.
I have been a Harry Potter fan since I was a kid. The day after I finished college for good I got a Harry Potter to bring me good luck on the first day of the start of the rest of my life. In the books there is a magical potion called Felix Felicis that brings you good luck when you drink it, thats what my tattoo is, a little bottle of Felix Felicis 🙂 I can send you a picture if I win!
I loved it when he was on the train on his way to Hogwarts for the first time.

All of them.
When they attack Lord Voldemort.

I love the interactions between Harry, Ron and Hermoine….great chemistry.
i have never seen harry potter movies
I like when Harry throws the Elder wand off the bridge
I love the lesson it teaches you…Friends always support each other no matter what. All of these movies are really good and it is hard for me to pick one scene, so I shared what I love about these movies
voldermont was killed
I loved the chess game in the first movie…. it’s an oldie but goodie!
Any comic relief-type moment. The series can be so “Serious” sometimes, it makes me laugh to see that bit of comedy every now-and-then.
My favorite moment from the series is early on when The Dursleys are trying to run from Hagrid and they are in the shack and there is a “Boom boom boom” at the door and …. the chapter ends… I had told my son just one chapter then bed… and he starts yelling “No don’t stop there!!! What happens, what happens!”
I loved it when Harry rode a broom for the first time
I loved it when the snake died. Go Neville!
I like the Quiddich games
Ive never seen them but my daughter is OBSESSED!
My favorite moment was when Neville went all hero and stepped up to challenge Voldermort.
I like everything with Hagrid 🙂
The jellybean/train scene in the first one!
When they fly on the broomstick and death eaters chase Harry
I love th jellybean scene!
I love when they beat Voldmort in the last movie.
I have never really watched a complete movie…just catch bits and pieces when the kids are watching…..but i like Hagrid
I liked it when Neville killed the snake
Owls I love owls
I am not the Harry Potter fan here but I did like the character Doby. This would make a great gift for my nephew who has read the books at least 3 times each.
when Harry first finds out he is wizard

I am not so much a fan as the kids are. They have seen several of the movies, but I have not yet!

i never had any intention of seeing the movies, but my wife (then girlfriend) dragged me to the theater to see the first one and I really enjoyed the whole movie.
My favorite moment was when Ron and Hermione finally got together.
My favorite memory of Harry Potter can’t be boiled down to a single moment or event in the Harry Potter saga. Watching (and reading) as Hermione grew from an overachieving nerd to a strong, intelligent young woman inspired young women (and young at heart) around the world.
I liked when he did his magic spells and the girl in the bathroom
The final battle of course!
I love when they first mention all of the different wizard candy in the first book/movie.
I am not familiar with the Harry Potter series so I don’t have a favorite. My son is positively obsessed with Harry Potter though!
My favorite part is when Ron and Harry were on the train together for the first time.
voldemort finally getting beat.
I was hoping to win this for my sister who is a big Harry fanatic I don’t know much about it but I do like it when they play Quid itch
I’ve never watched any Harry Potter movies, but my daughter in law watches them over and over and over!
There are so many but one is when Hermione punched Malfoy in Prisoner of Azkaban
I personally haven’t seen the Harry Potter movies yet, even though my kids have seen them all since we own them. Guess it’s about time I sit down and watch them!!
when they get the horcrux
My favorite parts of the movies is when Professor Snape revealed his memories and thoughts to Harry Potter and When Harry and Ginny were sending their son, Albus Severus Potter away to Hogwarts.
Watching that first Harry Potter movie in the theater was truly a magical experience. I was not familiar with the books or characters but was completely caught up in the film from the moment the movie started. I have enjoyed all the films and have since read many of the books, but nothing comes close to that first introduction to the series.
My favorite scene is Professor McGonagle attacks Snape in the last movie
I think my favorite moment might be with how much Neville has changed from the bumbling boy that always loses his toad in the first book to a brave Gryffindor at the end who is standing up to the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort’s supporters.
My favorite moment is when Neville takes charge in the last film.
I loved seeing the twins let loose on Hogwarts during the exams as their way of saying “peace out!” 🙂
I have not seen the movies, but my son is a huge fan
my kids absolutely LOVE the harry potters, I have never watched it 🙁
I like when we finally find out who Tom Riddle is.
Last Movie was epic. Family loved it!!
I like the Qudditch(?) scenes in one of the earlier movies.
My favorite moment was when harry turned his aunt into a large blue floating balloon.
I have not seen the movie but i work with a special needs child that would love this game.
The golden snitch.
Golden snitch , thanks
The scene after Snape kills Dumbledore and Harry chases him and Snape announces hes the Half-Blood Prince, and Snape’s memories in the pensieve after his death deserved the top spots.
my favorite part was at the beginning, when everyone gets sorted by the sorting hat
I love the Quidditch match.
when Harry fights with Valdmont
My favorite parts were finding out about Snape too! It took you for a couple turns there.
when Harry turned his aunt into a balloon lol
Definitely when Harry turned his aunt into a balloon
My favorite moment definitely has to be the Ron/Hermione kiss..HELLO!! 🙂
My favorite part in the series is when Harry goes to Hogwarts for the first time. You just know your in for a thrilling adventure!!
The quidditch match was so great to watch in the movie, even better than I had pictured it in my head. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
When it comes out Snape was in love with Harrys mom
I loved all the Harry Potter books but the very first is my favorite when he finds out he is a wizard.
My favorite part of the series was watching Harry fall in love!
I like when Harry first visits hogwarts for the first time
when harry was placed into a house by the hat.
I liked the Quidditch match. 🙂
The car flying through the town was neat..
When the basilisk gets a sword through it’s face
The Quidditch Match was my favorite moment.
When Harry first flies
My best memory of Harry is reading the first book when I was young. It introduced me to a whole new genre I hadn’t previously been interested in.
I liked when he looked into the mirror and saw his parents.
The Quidditch Match
I like the scene with the Weasley’s Wizard Shop
I like the Weasley’s Wizard Shop
My favorite Harry Potter moment was when Harry looked into the Mirror of Erised and saw his parents. Although it was a sad moment it was a moment that gave me goosebumps, you know what I mean?!?!
I loved the ending where you see them grown with their own families.
when they drink the potion that changes their appearances
Floating candles during dinner, no doubt.
