Now I’m as much of a fan of the pensive scene as anyone else. Who didn’t cry when Snape said, “Always”? And let’s face it, when Harry pulled out the resurrection stone and asked Sirius if dying hurt, I was bawling like a baby. Oh, and we can’t forget Ron’s pot belly in the epilogue, though that evoked more laughter than it did tears.
But despite all those heart wrenching moments and the ones I didn’t even mention, my favorite scene had to be when Narcissa told Draco to come to their side and Voldemort gave him that awkward, creepy hug.
It’s a meme in the making, I’m telling you now. And walking out of the theaters I couldn’t help but ask around, “Did you know that Voldemort was a hugger?” Frankly, I think if he and Harry had shared a little love maybe they could have co-existed in the wizarding world quite nicely. But hey, it’s too late to find out if that would have worked. Maybe next time.
What was your favorite scene from part two?

Snape’s death scene, definitely <3. HEARTBREAKING.
guest
The credits so I didn’t have to watch it anymore. Just awful.
guest
The battle was amazing. I’m not usually one for action scenes, but they pulled off the magical battle fantastically and I could watch that over and over again.
I also loved how they did Snape’s pensieve scenes.
guest
I loved Snape’s scene when he was younger with Harry’s mom, definitely showed how much he loved Harry and then you begin to pity him :/

@darci - Oh my God Darci, I cried so much! When he sees Lily after she died, ugh, couldn’t handle it.
guest
Haven’t seen yet! :O
guest
If you stay until the end of the credits for The Deathly Hallows, Part 2, there is footage of J.K. Rowling rolling around in a pile of money, then snorting it.
guest
The movie was fantastic. There are so many good scenes I cried at Snape’s memories. Especially when Snape sees Lily’s body on the floor his reaction was so moving. Damn you Alan Rickman for making me cry. The Voldemort hug was priceless. Luna Lovegood’s line “Harry Potter you listen to me RIGHT NOW!“.
They pulled off the Battle at Hogwarts really well. My favorite scene of them all has to be when Narcissa and Draco were leaving hand in hand away from the fight with Lucius stumbling behind. It spoke volumes about their family relationship. The Malfoys are loyal to each other and no one else. Its the only time I’ve ever liked any of the Malfoys.

When Harry kept stepping on Dumbledore’s robes.

@KliffyTaicho@xanga - Agreed. It was one of the most boring, drawn out movies I’ve ever seen. I literally tried to fall asleep during it so it would go by faster.

@KliffyTaicho@xanga - Seriously?! How!?
@methodElevated@xanga - You probably liked the Half-Blood Prince didn’t you?

Mrs. Weasley vs Bellatrix! haha

@KickDrumHeart@datingish - All the movies were pretty “meh” to me. The earlier ones were definitely more watchable, but nothing to write home about.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought Voldemort hugging Draco was the most awkward hug ever. I even told my husband afterwards that Cracked.com needs to do an article about Top 10 most awkward hugs in movie scenes and the one where Voldemort hugs Draco would be # 1. Seriously, awkward and creepy.
My favorite scene was when Ron and Hermione finally kiss. I’m a sucker for Ron and Hermione.
guest
I loved it when Prof McGonagall stepped out and defended Harry the second he stepped foot in Hogwarts. She is so badass!
guest
@KickDrumHeart@datingish - Actually on behalf of my new found friend they all sucked.
guest
Snape’s death/the Pensieve.
guest
@methodElevated@xanga - Thank you I thought I was the only one that was going to say it instead of jumping on the band wagon and going on and on about how wonderful it was.

@methodElevated@xanga - @KliffyTaicho@xanga - I can respect your opinion. But why did you go see it then?

@bass_chick57 - Yeah. And all those too. haha

@KickDrumHeart@datingish - “Not my daughter you BITCH!”
God damn I love Molly Weasley.
There were so many great moments in that movie–
-when Neville’s running down the bridge after taunting the enemies
-Molly vs Bellatrix-Snape’s love story
-Harry talking to the departed loved ones about death
-Voldemort’s hella awkward hug
-when Hermione is dressed up as Bellatrix and she’s told to toughen up and Ron stands up for her (aww)
-trolol the epilogue
-when Neville wants to find Luna and tell her he’s got the hots for her
-McG’s “I’ve always wanted to do that”
-Ron and Hermione’s kiss (AHHHH!!!!!!!!)
-Neville’s speech to Voldemort about how Harry’s never gone
-Breaking out of Gringott’s
-Seamus’s comment to Ron about Ginny ignoring Ron (ha!)
there are so many more, but I don’t want to keep typing. Lol
guest
@KickDrumHeart@datingish - Because I had seen the first 6, missed the 7th part 1, so I had already invested all that time into watching the first few. Plus after the 6th I decided to read the series and I wanted to see how they were going to go about depicting it in the movies.
guest
definitely the pensieve scene, especially when Snape is in Godric’s Hollow. oh man, the look on his face when he sees Lily dead on the floor and then when he holds her and cries. *takes deep breath* not to mention it was beautifully executed based on what they read in the novel!
but yeah, Voldemort would NEVER EVER in a million years hug somebody. they shouldn’t have put that in the movie because it misrepresents him.
I also love most of the ones that @bass_chick57 mentioned! but I’m upset that they didn’t put in the scene where Harry uses the Cruciatus curse on Carrow for spitting in McGonagall’s face. it’s the only time in the series where he ever uses that curse!

@KickDrumHeart@datingish - My boyfriend took me. We thought it would be a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

@KliffyTaicho@xanga - I’m convinced The Onion is right. They could split up the last four minutes of Harry Potter 7 into seven full length films, and the fans would still think they’re the best things since sliced bread.

@ashleya - OMG I know! I was watching him walk into her destroyed house, clutching my face, sobbing, and trying not to wail “NOOOOOO! DON’T DO IT! DON’T GO IN THERE!” :’( But I don’t even think that was as painful as watching him die, and his last words being “you have your mother’s eyes.” Brb, curled in the fetal position for the rest of my life. </3

@methodElevated@xanga - OMG I noticed that, too! It was driving me crazy.

I think my favorites were definitely Ron and Hermione’s kiss, finally. Whenever Ron says “That’s my girlfriend” chasing after Crabbe and Goyle and Hermione stops to smile was a good one. Harry stepping out in the middle of the great hall and everyone’s jaws drop like so: O_o followed by lots of cheering. Neville’s speech about Harry. Anything after Snape starts dying where he’s still involved in the scene is so well done. Definitely Mrs. Weasley killing Bellatrix. And then the line from Ron “Harry, if we die saving them I’m going to kill you!”
There was more, but I can’t think of any more without either A) listing the whole movie, or B) going into a list of the things that bothered me.

@methodElevated@xanga - that is way over exaggerated, there was a lot I was completely unhappy with. But that’s another list for a different blog. Of course you’re going to get a bunch of gung ho fans on a blog asking what the favorite scenes were. (Then again, there are a bunch of fans who also go way overboard, so…)

Snape and Lily, hands down. Broke my heart into a trillion tiny pieces.
guest
in the forbidden forest with harry’s parents and remus and sirius….made me cry….I love Sirius!!!!
guest
When Snapes memories are seen by Harry. I can’t quit thinking about Snape and how much he really cared about him.
guest
My favorites:
- Snape’s memories.
- Neville’s big moment!
- “Not my daughter you bitch!”
- The awkward Malfoy/Voldy hug.
While we’re on the subject of scenes though – I hated the part where Fenrir Greyback was eating Lavender Brown ! That was so gruesome, and she didn’t even die in the book ! It just seemed really unecessary.
guest
The entire sequence of the Prince’s Tale, especially Snape producing his patronus and saying “always”.
guest
Mcgonagall all the way! “I’ve always wanted to use that spell!”
