Goals and stakes

I'm just wondering if someone can help me with something. What are the characters goals and what are the stakes in the films Notting Hill and When Harry Met Sally?

Chase Cysco

i feel like Harry wants to figure out his feelings for Sally & Sally struggles with her belief that men and women can just be friends, with the stakes being whether or not she can let herself love Harry

In Notting Hill, William's goal is to win Anna’s love despite their worlds being galaxies apart. The stakes? A lifetime of regret if he lets the shooting star pass.

In When Harry Met Sally, their goal—unknown even to them—is to find love without losing friendship. The stakes? Eternal loneliness disguised as casual contentment.
