Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2: Difference between revisions

 

 

After destroying one Horcrux and discovering the significance of the three Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron and Hermione continue to seek the other Horcruxes in an attempt to destroy Voldemort, who has now obtained the powerful Elder Wand. The Dark Lord discovers Harry's hunt for his Horcruxes and launches an attack on Hogwarts, where the trio return for one last stand against the dark forces that threaten both the Wizarding and Muggle worlds.

* [[Book Ends]]:

** A musical variation: The film ends with the exact same music that the first film ended with.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: During the final fight between Harry and Voldemort, Voldemort briefly uses the longer parts of his robes to ensnare Harry.

* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: [[Doorstopper|Can't really be helped, though: there's just too much plot to stuff into a movie]], even with splitting it across ''two'' films.

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: {{spoiler|Severus Snape's death}}. Even then it's a [[Nothing Is Scarier]] moment as we see only a view through a dirty window, but can hear clearly the sound of {{spoiler|the snake striking him again and again}}.

* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]]: Said by Professor McGonagall of all people, after using the ''Piertotum Locomotor'' spell. Considering [[Sealed Army in a Can|what]] [[Animated Armor|it does]], can you blame her? Especially cute is the schoolgirlish giggle she gives after delivering the line.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]:

{{quote|'''Hermione:''' We've got to plan, we've got to figure it out!

* [[Musical Spoiler]]: Whenever the Slytherin locket is influencing someone's behavior, there is a characteristic, high-pitched noise.

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Voldemort vs Harry in the expanded fight scene. As Voldemort's wand won't work, he retorts to using his fists to give Harry a pummelling.

* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Neville}} has a an Oh Crap look on his face when {{spoiler|the barrier around Hogwarts fades, and hundreds of Voldemort's mooks come rushing towards the bridge he's guarding}}.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Snape, when he realizes that {{spoiler|Voldemort believes that Snape is the true master of the [[Elder Wand]] and thus Voldemort must kill him to gain the wand's allegiance. [[Slashed Throat|It ends]] [[Right-Hand Attack Dog|badly for]] [[Eaten Alive|him.]]}}

** Harry's basic resting-state throughout the movie. [[Beware the Nice Ones]] indeed.

* [[Trash the Set]]: Hogwarts gets utterly ''destroyed''.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Harry is able to stand toe to toe with Voldemort by this film due to this, though without Voldemort's knowledge and experience he is left running away much of the time. This is notable because up until this point anyone Voldemort has battled has [[Curb Stomp Battle|been slaughtered]], {{spoiler|like the goblins and workers in Gringotts, or the human guards at Azkaban}}. Dumbledore, described by most characters as the most powerful wizard alive {{spoiler|(for awhile, anyway)}} is only able to fight him to a stalemate, making Harry's strength all the more remarkable.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: It's safe to say that this happens to Voldemort as the movie progresses {{spoiler|as his Horcruxes are destroyed}}. This results in him randomly killing {{spoiler|Pius Thicknesse}} when he asks Voldy if he's alright. Of course, the murder is completely in line for the guy. By the end of the night, though, even Bellatrix is tip-toeing around him.
