Heartwarming moments? Let's see, there was this 5-alarm chili I had some time ago; a cold beer took care of it.

When I had no power for about a week when Hurricane Katrina hit Florida, I whipped out my Harry Potter books and just started reading them. I'm still astonished by how fast I read them. I finished the first on one day, and the second the next.

Then I'll translate. Just the happiest moment of your life. Not something simple, like being happy when laughing at one of Blokes funny posts, but almost like a divine experience happy. I'm sure some of us on here would mention performing a certain piece of music, one memory I would consider would be performing Kingfishers Catch Fire by John Mackey with a high school honor band at a near-by University. Perhaps the first time you met your wife, or your wedding day, I don't know, it's personal for everyone. Does that help a bit?

And to the OP, I don't know about everyone else, but I could read your original post just fine, I was just shocked, as shocked as you were probably, by what happened in your story, hence they :shock: .

And as a side note, I am proud to say that within eight hours of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, I had completed it.

Also, I liked it, it did make me think. Thanks for posting it.

My thoughts exactly.

Although, Harry Potter is clearly not a children's book, as I feel like I'm the only person at my high school who has not memorized the entire series.

Hell, yeah! I've read Deathly Hallows several times and I still think it's pretty damn cool. Right up there with Tolkein and Richard Adams (Watership Down). Now, the big question- if you could, in fact, shout "Expecto Patronum!" and conjure up a Patronus, what would it be? I believe mine would be a giant, winged, guinea pig.

Wow.

I like fantasy and make-believe as much as the next guy, but...wow.
