I have a hard time believing there are great scenes in Harry Potter.
Still need to read them.
The soundtracks alone add immensely to the experience. The casting for the majority of the main cast was impeccable and the actors really brought the characters to life. Slughorn, Umbridge, Mad-eye, Snape, Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix among others were so well portrayed it's almost impossible to separate the book character from the actor.
(SPOILERS)
As for great scenes, I'd say Harry flying Buckbeak in POA, Harry's possession in OOTP, Aragog's funeral in HBP (or, rather, the whole Liquid Luck sequence), Harry and Hermione dancing in DH part 1, Courtyard Apocalypse in DH part 2 and the Resurrection Stone in DH part 2.
What's also interesting about these scenes is that 3 of them are completely original without the book's influence, and the other 2 were adapted to make them even better.
If it was easier to commit suicide with pop corn I would have ended it all during that first Harry Potter film
