Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (novel)/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tear Jerkers in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (novel) include:

  • Eleven-year-old Harry looking into the Mirror of Erised and seeing his dead family is a heartbreaking moment and somewhat iconic in terms of the series as a whole.
    • On Pottercast, after DH had been released, John (I think, it's been three years) said he'd have liked to have read Harry looking into the Mirror again, only this time he'd've been the way Dumbledore described the "happiest man on Earth". Holy shit, was that emotional for this listener.
