For full-fledged "Harry Potter" fans, each word and each chapter of all the seven books that chronicled the life and adventures of "The Boy Who Lived" is just plain magic, but for author J.K. Rowling, she will always have a soft spot for a specific chapter in her final book.
Twitter user named Rob McCarter asked Rowling recently: "If you had to choose one chapter from the entire HP series as your favourite, what would you choose?"
The famed author tweeted back: "Chapter 34 Deathly Hallows 'The Forest Again.'"
Another Twitter user named Jessica responded to her answer by saying, "Really? Because I bawled..."
And surprisingly, so did Rowling when she wrote that specific chapter.
"So did I, but it was the culmination of 17 years' work and the most cathartic piece of writing of my life," she explained.
In "The Forest Again," Harry finally comes to terms with the fact that he must die in order to save his friends and teachers in Hogwarts. He realizes that he is the last Horcrux of Lord Voldemort, so when he is killed, so will Lord Voldemort be killed.
Harry also understands that Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore has known all along about this piece of information, and that is why he inherited the golden Snitch from him. When he told the Snitch "I am ready to die" and placed it on his lips, out came the resurrection stone, and all of Harry's loved ones - his parents, godfather Sirius Black, and Professor Remus Lupin all came to see him and guide him through his final journey.
Harry is terrified of dying and he simply asked them, "Does it hurt?" Sirius and Lupin both tell him that it will be quick and easy. Hidden by his Invisibility Cloak, Harry walks over to the part of the Forbidden Forest where Lord Voldemort and his followers are waiting for him. When he takes off his cloak, he drops the stone and all of his loved ones disappear. His good friend Hagrid, who was held captive by Lord Voldemort's men tears up and urges Harry not to surrender, but the young boy is resolute. Lord Voldemort raises his wand and he finally dies.
During an earlier interview with the Today Show by NBC, Rowling said that the emotional part came "when I finished writing."
"I didn't cry as I was writing, but when I finished writing, I had enormous explosion of emotion and I cried and cried and cried," she said.
