» Day 10: Saddest cene

In his cloak, Harry rushes away and hides in a nearby room. He discovers a mirror inside the room that is as high as the ceiling and decorated with gold and an inscription on the top. As he looks deeply at the mirror, he is terrified because he sees no reflection. He looks closer and sees about ten people staring back at him. A woman appears to wave to Harry, and a man puts his arm around her. She has the same eyes as Harry and he has the same tuft of hair. Harry realizes that this is his family.

“They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry’s knobbly knees - Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life…The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness.”

» Day 8: A scene you really wanted to be in the movies, but wasn’t - (complete scene) Lord Voldemort interrogating Mr Ollivander .

And then, out of nowhere, the pain in his scar peaked. As he clutched his forehead and closed his eyes, a voice screamed inside his head.
”You told me the problem would be solved by using another’s wand!”
And into his mind burst the vision of an emaciated old man lying in rags upon a stone floor, screaming, a horrible drawn-out scream, a scream of unendurable agony… . 
“No! No! I beg you, I beg you… . “
“You lied to Lord Voldemort, Ollivander!”
“I did not… . I swear I did not… . “
“You sought to help Potter, to help him escape me!”
“I swear I did not… . I believed a different wand would work… . “
“Explain, then, what happened. Lucius’s wand is destroyed!”
“I cannot understand… . The connection … exists only… between your two wands… .”
”Lies!”
“Please … I beg you… . “
And Harry saw the white hand raise its wand and felt Voldemort’s surge of vicious anger, saw the frail old main on the floor writhe in agony—”

» Day 7: Favourite Scene

Lily’s smile was widest of all. She pushed her long hair back as she drew close to him, and her green eyes, so like his, searched his face hungrily, as thought she would never be able to look at him enough.

” You’ve been so brave “

He could not speak. His eyes feasted on her, and he thought that he would like to stand and look at her forever, and that would be enough.

” You are nearly there “, said James. ” Very close. We are … so proud of you “

” Does it hurt? “

The childish question had fallen from Harry’s lips before he could stop it.

” Dying? Not at all “, said Sirius. ” Quicker and easier than falling asleep “

” And he will want it to be quick. He wants it over “, said Lupin.

” I didn’t want you to die “, Harry said. These words came without his volition. “Any of you. I’m sorry - “

He addressed Lupin more than any of them, beseeching him.

” -right after you’d had your son … Remus, I’m sorry- “

” I am sorry too “, said Lupin. ” Sorry I will never know him … but he will know why I died and hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life “

A chilly breeze that seemed to emanate from the heart of the forest lifted the hair at Harry’s brow. He knew that they would not tell him to go, that it would have to be his decision.

” You’ll stay with me ? “

” Until the very end “, said James.

” They won’t be able to see you? ” asked Harry.

” We are part of you “, said Sirius. ” Invisible to anyone else “.

Harry looked at his mother.

” Stay close to me “, he said quietly.
