The True 50 Greatest Scenes in Harry Potter Nomination Thread
Upon the recent fail of a top 50, I decided we should make our own!
Right now, we are in the nomination stage. Nominate UP TO 30 scenes from all the movies! I'll tally them and will compile a list of the top 50. From that, everyone will give a ranking of those 50 scenes. It'll be a lot of work, but we should be up to it!
So now, give me your 30 best scenes (no more than 30 nominations please). I assume with the number of members, votes will vary quite enough to get 50.
