deckardcanineA scene from the first Harry Potter film has been voted the best moment in movie history.
The scene, from 2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, shows the boy wizard discovering platform nine-and-three-quarters at Kings Cross train station in London before setting off for Hogwarts school for the first time.
The moment beat out competition from Dick Van Dyke's classic rooftop chimney sweep's dance in 1964 musical Mary Poppins, in the poll by the Oreo cookie brand.
I was appalled until I got to the Oreo detail. Most likely the average age of the voters is under 15.
