Worst Kick in the Gut Moments in the Series

[Quantus]

When Mouse was shot in TC, and Molly had to remove the bullet 

Followed by one of the bigger moments of awesome, when we find out he was faking

Susan getting turned and leaving Harry.

I am surprised that one hadn't gotten mentioned sooner.

i felt that when harry soulgazed helen beckett and saw the one scene replayed ( i assume repeatedly) as a very powerful and sad moment.

Marcone praying over Persephone

At the end of Ghost Story, Harry was realizing the unintended consequences of his actions with Molly.  Uriel said something to the effect of 'It's one thing if you say, "we'll roast marshmallows as the world burns'; it's entirely different if you say 'we'll roast marshmallows as Molly burns.', but it's the same result regardless."

Harry has always had a well developed need to protect those he loves.  To have had such a massive blind spot with a blatant disregard for probably the one person who depended on him as much as little Maggie (albeit in a different context) was a serious gut punch to Harry.

Heck, it made me feel guilty for liking that line when I first read it in Changes.

[AutomatedTeller]

"Mommy, mommy, mommy", she said.  "Owie, owie, owie."

White Night is filled with kicks in the gut.  Finding Anna dead.    I dunno if Lash committing suicide was a kick in the gut or not, but it was very powerful.

When Harry realizes that he's beaten the Merlin at Molly's trial and that he's killed Molly - that's bad.

I used the knife.  I saved a child.  I won a war.  God forgive me.

Even now I get goosebumps reading those lines.

[Icecream]

"Mommy, mommy, mommy", she said.  "Owie, owie, owie."

yes these lines. It's just sickening when a child is going through something like that.

[raljamcar]

when he realized kim delaney may have died just because of him.

[xakko]

"Mommy, mommy, mommy", she said.  "Owie, owie, owie."

White Night is filled with kicks in the gut.  Finding Anna dead.    I dunno if Lash committing suicide was a kick in the gut or not, but it was very powerful.

just listened to both of these today... but didn't get to what might be even more heart-wrenching during the fight at the Deeps, where Lash takes the psychic bullet for him.

and pretty much almost all of Ghost Story, top to bottom.

[Quantus]

In WN, when he went all dark side on the ghouls with the ants, and he was reminded that the kids were watching it all.

[Imnothere]

the worst kick in the gut moment that sticks out for me isn't when they find Ivy in the cage it's not even when Michael gets shot. It is when Harry goes up to the waiting room and sees Charity and Molly in their and he apologizes to Molly for not protecting her father

[Mr. Vimes]

I used the knife.
I saved the child.
I won the war.
God forgive me.

Two years later, still a kick in the gut.

[ItsallSuesfault]

When they're in the waiting room in TC and Molly Relizes she can't visit her father because she might short out his life support

[Teldra]

Pretty much the whole of Changes is filled with these moments for me, as Harry loses everything. But the point where I started crying was as he was taken away from his burning house after breaking his back, and all he could do was watch his house burn down. I think that's where I realised for sure that things would never be the same in the series again.
