harry potter and the dealthly hallows part two

Well, one week ago (last Monday), hayley fung and I went to watch harry potter and the deathly hallows part two together!
I haven’t known hayley for very long; I was more friends with her dad, uncle martin, who passed away from stomach cancer awhile back. I liked uncle martin lots; when ESS was still held downstairs in A1, I’d sit in one of those chairs lined outside the room after service, and he’d invariably wander along and sneak me a bikkie or some chippies, much to the wrath of my mother. XD
Anyways, I somehow got his daughter, hayley, as my friend on facebook, and one night, we were just chatting. I called her ‘hairy’ and she asked me, “umm … why are you calling me hairy?”
I replied, “umm … don’t I always call you hairy?”
She laughed, then said, “perhaps you’ve got me confused with some other hayley @ church.”
Well, @ that time, I thought I only knew one hayley! “aren’t you hayley fung, natalie’s older sister?”
Another laugh. “nope, that’s hailey. Different spelling. I’m hayley fung, uncle martin’s daughter.”
Lol, I was mortified! XD
Anyways, somehow, we decided to watch the last harry potter movie together!
I bought the tickets, coz I’ve got a companion card, meaning my companion gets in for free, and she bought the popcorn! :D
Mum left us @ the front entrance; much thanks to hayley who lemme gently hold her hand while we walked in together. Even better, she was fine with sitting in the front row, meaning I didn’t need to hike up the two steps that mother always forces me to take!
Anyways, here are all my favourite trivia, quotes and goofs from imdb:
Trivia first!
-This film is the only Harry Potter film to be released in 3D in cinemas in their entirety (only select scenes were available for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and only in IMAX).

-It was reported that a huge blaze wrecked the Hogwarts set after a battle scene went spectacularly wrong. According to the report, explosives used in action sequences set light to scenery for the wizardry school, and that firefighters battled for 40 minutes to bring the flames under control but the set - centerpiece for the film's Battle of Hogwarts climax - was left badly damaged. It was later confirmed that the fire was greatly exaggerated, and that the set that had been damaged was going to need be rebuilt anyway for use in another scene. Some actors were still filming at the studio but none of the movie's biggest stars -Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) or Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) - were involved. No one was injured.
-Kate Winslet was first considered for and reportedly offered the role of Helena Ravenclaw. The role was rejected by her agent before she was able to consider it, believing that Winslet would not want to "follow suit with every other actor in Britain by being a part of Harry Potter". The role subsequently went to Kelly Macdonald.
-In the two parts of this movie, Hermione impersonates both Mafalda Hopkirk; played byEmma Thompson's sister Sophie Thompson; and Bellatrix Lestrange; played by Helena Bonham Carter, who played Emma's sister in Howards End.
-Most of the events in this film - from the raid of Gringotts to the Battle of Hogwarts - take place over the course of a single day.
-In the story, Voldemort has created several Horcruxes in an attempt to cheat death. Appropriately, his name is French for "Flight of Death" or it can also mean "Stealer/Cheater of death".
-Alan Rickman, Bonnie Wright, Devon Murray, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Geraldine Somerville, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis, Robbie Coltrane, Rupert Grint,Tom Felton, Josh Herdman and Warwick Davis (as Prof. Flitwick and/or Griphook the Goblin) are the only actors to have appeared in all eight movies.

-When Harry goes into the Room of Requirement in the bottom left hand corner there is the knight that Ron rides from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Share this
-In every shot in which Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange appear together, she always moves so that she stands on his right, traditionally the position of the most loyal and trusted follower.
-Also in the Room of Requirement are the Cornish Piskies set loose by Gilderoy Lockhart inHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
-Not long after Alan Rickman started to play Severus Snape, J.K. Rowling told him some character secrets about Snape that would not be otherwise revealed until the last book. Most significantly, Rickman was one of the very few people other than Rowling to know (years ahead of the last book's publication) that Snape had been in love with Lily Evans (later Potter) when they were students at Hogwarts, and both Snape's protection of and antagonism toward Harry came from that. Rowling said that she shared this information with Rickman because "he needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of Lily's preference for another man, came from." According to Rickman, the directors prior to the publication of the last book were not privy to the information of Snape's true character either, and he had to ask them to defer to him the portrayal of Snape, whether or not they understood why.
-The script was originally written, like the book, to include Draco Malfoy's bully friends, Crabbe and Goyle. As in the book, Crabbe was to be killed in a climactic battle. Jamie Waylett's arrest and conviction on drug charges, however, forced the filmmakers to change this plan. Crabbe was written out of the script, with Goyle being killed in his place. Another Slytherin character Blaise Zabini (portrayed by Louis Cordice) would be used in Crabbe's place for this scene.
-The filmmakers persuaded Tom Felton to convince his girlfriend, Jade Olivia, to play Draco Malfoy's wife, Astoria Greengrass, in the film's epilogue.
-Both Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have stated in several separate interviews, that filming their much awaited on-screen kiss was an "absolutely horrible" experience, due to Emma's admission of Rupert being "like a brother." It took only six takes to complete; whereas the kiss between Harry & Ginny took around ten, Ron & Lavender approx. 15, and Harry & Cho took over 30 takes, by comparison.
-At the end of the film, Harry has two sons, one of whom he addressed as "Albus Severus Potter." The older one, never addressed by name, has the initials "J.S.P." on his luggage. This stands for James Sirius Potter.
-goofs next! :P
-Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): It is often referred that Harry's eyes are just like his mother's, but when you actually see her as a child it is very apparent that her eyes are brown, not the vibrant blue that Harry's are. Her eyes are blue later as an adult however.
-Continuity: After Aberforth presents Hermione and Ron with bread, they each pick up a piece. When the camera cuts back to them, Hermione is chewing, but the piece of bread she is holding has no bites taken from it.
-Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Harry reveals himself to Snape in the Great Hall he is wearing a Hogwarts robe but after McGonagall battles Snape and turns to help Harry up, the robe is gone and he is in regular clothes. However his regular clothes are beneath the robe, thus he could have quickly drop the robe without too much time being consumed, even during the battle scene between Snape and McGonagal.
-Continuity: When young Snape and Lily are shown laying on the grass in Snapes memory, from above they are laying parallel to each other, however as the shot pans across the lake, they are laying away from each other in a V shape.
-Continuity: In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), during the Battle of the Seven Potters, George Weasley loses an ear. However, when Fred and George are seen together during certain scenes in Part 2, George's ear is intact.
-Continuity: When Harry and Dumbledore are talking in King's Cross Station, Dumbledore's hand position changes; sometimes the right hand is covering the left, and sometimes his fingers are interlaced.
-Continuity: When Harry gains Severus Snape's collective memories, he is seen to collect only a few tear drops in a vial. However, later when we see Harry empty the contents of the vial into the Pensieve, the vial contains a much larger volume of liquid than what could have been reasonably collected earlier.
-Continuity: When Harry, Hermoine and Ron arrive in Hogsmeade after escaping from Gringott's, the streets, shops and homes in the town are completely covered in snow. When they arrive at Hogwarts, there is no snow anywhere on the school or on the surrounding grounds, yet Hogsmeade is the neighboring town.
-Plot holes: Cho Chang is one year senior to Harry. She was supposed to be passed out after Harry's sixth year. She is seen studying in Hogwarts in this part.(A/N: how come she couldn’t have flunked the year, and therefore repeat it?)
-continuity: SPOILER: In the resurrection stone scene, James Potter's "spirit" appears to have sideburns, which he has never had in any of the previous films and since he has been dead for 16-17 years, it would logically be impossible for his hair to have changed.
And finally, quotes!
-Harry Potter: [to James, Lily, Sirus and Remus] I never wanted any of you to die for me.
-Ron Weasley: We can do this.
-Lily Potter: Harry, you are so loved. Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Harry, be safe. Be strong.
-[from trailer]
Harry Potter: You'll stay with me?
Lily Potter: Always.
Sirius Black: Until the end.
-Molly Weasley: [to Bellatrix Lestrange] Not my daughter, you bitch! (A/N: I quite like this line! XD)
-Lord Voldemort: [to Snape] Only I can live forever.
-Professor Severus Snape: [to Dumbledore about Harry] You've kept him alive so that he can die at the proper moment.
-Lord Voldemort: Join me in the forest tonight and confront your fate.
-[from trailer]
Lord Voldemort: Harry Potter, the boy who lived... come to die. Avada Kedavra!
-Neville Longbottom: You were right, never better. I feel like I can spit fire.
-Hermione Granger: [Disguised as Belltrix Lestrange, addressing a Death Eater] Good morning!
Griphook: Good morning? You're Bellatrix Lestrange, not some dewey-eyed schoolgirl!
-Professor Severus Snape: [to the Hogwart's students] If anyone here knows any knowledge of Mr. Potter's movements this evening, I invite them to step forward... now.
Harry Potter: [Stepping out of the crowd] It seems despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a bit of a security problem, Headmaster.
-Luna Lovegood: Harry, wait, I need to talk to you.
Harry Potter: I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment, Luna.
Luna Lovegood: You won't find it where you're going, you're wasting your time.
Harry Potter: We'll talk later, ok?
Luna Lovegood: Harry!
Harry Potter: Later!
Luna Lovegood: Harry Potter! You listen to me right now! Don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem? There's not a person alive whose seen it. It's obvious isn't it? You have to talk to someone whose dead.
-Professor Severus Snape: For myself and a few select members of staff, this news comes as little surprise. We have for some time now considered Mr. Potter's return to Hogwarts as not merely possible, not inevitable.
-Professor Severus Snape: You have preformed extraordinary magic with this wand, my Lord, in the last hours alone.
Lord Voldemort: No, I am extraordinary, but the wand... it resists me.
Professor Severus Snape: There is no wand more powerful, Olivander himself has said. Tonight when the boy comes, it will not fail you I assure you.
-Argus Filch: [about the Slytherin students] Where exactly will I be leading them to, ma'am?
Minerva McGonagall: The dungeons should do.
-Flitwick: You do realize we can't keep out You-Know-Who indefinitely.
Minerva McGonagall: That doesn't mean we can't delay him. And his name is Voldemort, so you might as well use it, he's going to try and kill you either way.
-Harry Potter: Dumbledore trusted me to see this through.
Aberforth Dumbledore: What makes you think you can trust him? What makes you think you can believe anything my brother told you? In all the time you knew him, did he ever mention my name? Did he ever mention hers?
Harry Potter: Why should he...
Aberforth Dumbledore: ...Keep secrets, you tell me?
Harry Potter: I trusted him.
Aberforth Dumbledore: That's a boy's answer. A boy who goes chasing horcruxes on the word of a man who wouldn't even tell you where to start. You're lying!
-Professor Severus Snape: It's come to my attention that earlier this evening Harry Potter was spotted in Hogsmeade. Should anyone attempt to aide Mr. Potter, they will be punished.


Professor Severus Snape: [to Voldemort] There is no wand more powerful. It answers to you, and to you only.
-Ginny Weasley: [Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville have entered the Room of Requirement] Harry!
Harry Potter: Hi there.
[pauses waiting for a response from Ginny, then addresses Hermione]
Ron Weasley: Six months she hadn't see me, it's like I'm a Frankie First Year. I'm only her brother...
Seamus Finnigan: She's got lots of them, but there's only one Harry.
Ron Weasley: Shut up Seamus.
-Harry Potter: [to Snape] How dare you stand where he stood! Tell them how it happened that night. How you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you, and killed him. (A/N: I liked this line lots, too! :D)
-Ollivander: He's after you, Mr. Potter. You really don't stand a chance.
Harry Potter: I suppose I'll have to kill him before he finds me.

Hermione Granger: We can't just stand here. Who's got an idea?
Ron Weasley: Don't ask us. You're the brilliant one!

Harry Potter: Why are you here, all of you?
Lily Potter: We never left.
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: You wonderful boy. You brave, brave man.

Professor Albus Dumbledore: Of course, it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it's not real?
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love.
-Harry Potter: We have to go there, now.
Hermione Granger: What? We can't do that! We've got to plan! We've got to figure it out...
Harry Potter: Hermione! When have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose!
-Remus Lupin: It is the quality of ones convictions that determines success, not the number of followers.
Kingsley Shacklebolt: Who said that?
Remus Lupin: Me. (A/N: I liked this quote lots, too! XD)
-Albus Severus Potter: Dad, what if I'm in Slytherin?
Harry Potter: Albus Severus Potter, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was the bravest man I ever knew.
-Harry Potter: [Harry's son is nervous to go through the barrier] Together.


Ron Weasley: [as they're rescuing Draco and Blaise] If we die for them, Harry, I'm going to KILL YOU!
-Neville Longbottom: [discussing a battle strategy] Are you really giving us permission to do this?
Minerva McGonagall: Yes, Longbottom.
Neville Longbottom: Blow it up? Boom?
Minerva McGonagall: BOOM!
-Minerva McGonagall: I've always wanted to use that spell.
-Gregory Goyle: [aiming at Hermione] Avada Kedavra!
Ron Weasley: [chasing them off] Aaarrrgh! That's my girlfriend you numpty!
-Lord Voldemort: How can you live with yourself, Lucius?
Lucius Malfoy: ...I don't know.
-Kingsley Shacklebolt: [watching the protective enchantments start to crack] Actually, Dean, better tell Professor McGonagall we may need two or three more wands on this side.
-Harry Potter: Remus, your son?
Remus Lupin: He will one day know what his mother and father died for.
-Argus Filch: Students out of bed! Students out of bed! Students out of bed!
Minerva McGonagall: They are supposed to be out of bed you blithering idiot.
Argus Filch: ...Right, I'm sorry Ma'am.
Minerva McGonagall: Actually, Mr. Filch, your timing is impeccable. Could you please escort Miss Parkinson, and the rest of Slytherin house out.
-Ginny Weasley: Dad? Who's Hagrid carrying? Dad? Who is it?
Lord Voldemort: Harry Potter is dead!
Ginny Weasley: [screaming] No!
Bellatrix Lestrange: We won! We won! We won!
-Harry Potter: Does it hurt to die?
Sirius Black: Quicker then falling asleep.
-Harry Potter: I have to go back, haven't I?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Oh, that's up to you.
Harry Potter: I have a choice?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Oh, yes. We're in King's Cross, you say? I think, if you so desired, you'd be able to board a train.
Harry Potter: And where would it take me?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: On.
-Harry Potter: Voldemort has the Elder Wand.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: True.
Harry Potter: And the snake's still alive.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Yes.
Harry Potter: And I have nothing to kill it with.
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.
-Neville Longbottom: Let me get this straight, Professor. You're giving us permission to do this?
Professor Minerva McGonagall: That is correct, Longbottom.
Neville Longbottom: So, blow it up? Boom!
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Boom!
Neville Longbottom: Wicked. Um, and how exactly do you propose we do this, Professor?
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnegan? As I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics.
Seamus Finnigan: I can bring her down.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: That's the spirit. Off you go.
-Harry Potter: Ginny! Neville! Are you all right?
Neville Longbottom: Never better! I feel like I could spit fire! You haven't seen Luna have you?
Harry Potter: Luna?
Neville Longbottom: I'm mad for her. I think it's about time I told her, since we'll probably both be dead by dawn!
[Neville runs up the staircase; Harry and Ginny look at each other for a moment, then kiss]
Ginny Weasley: [whispering to Harry] I know.
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: We both know Lord Voldemort has ordered the Malfoy boy to murder me. But should he fail, I should presume the Dark Lord will turn to you. You must be the one to kill me, Severus. It is the only way. Only then will the Dark Lord trust you completely.
[Flashback of Snape killing Dumbledore]
Professor Albus Dumbledore: There will come a time when Harry Potter must be told something. But you must wait until Voldemort is at his most vulnerable.
Professor Severus Snape: Must be told what?
[Shot of Snape going through the halls of the Potter house]
Professor Albus Dumbledore: On the night Lord Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry, and Lily Potter passed herself between them, the curse rebounded. When that happened, a part of Voldemort's soul lached itself onto the only living thing it could find. Harry himself. There's a reason Harry can speak with snakes. There's a reason he can look into Lord Voldemort's mind. A part of Voldemort lives inside.
Professor Severus Snape: So when the time comes... the boy must die?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Yes. Yes... he must die.
[Shot of Snape collapsing at the sight of Lily's dead body]
Professor Severus Snape: You've kept him alive so that he can die at the proper moment. You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter!
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Don't tell me now that you've grown to care for the boy.
[Snape casts a Patronus in the shape of a doe, just like Lily's- the same one that helped Harry find the Sword of Gryffendor in Part 1]
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Lily... after all this time?
[Shot of Snape holding Lily's body in his arms while crying]
Professor Severus Snape: Always.
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: [after James and Lilly's deaths] The boy survives.
Professor Severus Snape: He doesn't need protection, the Dark Lord is gone!
Professor Albus Dumbledore: The Dark Lord will return! And when he does, the boy will be in terrible danger! He has her eyes.
[Snape pauses in shock]
Professor Albus Dumbledore: If you truly loved her...
Professor Severus Snape: No one... can know.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: That I shall never reveal the best of you, Severus?
-Ron Weasley: If I die saving Malfoy, I'm going to kill you, Harry. (A/N: how? He’s already dead! XD)
-Young Petunia Dursley: Freak! You're a freak, Lily! I'm telling Mummy!


Young Severus Snape: She's just jealous. That she's ordinary, and you're special.
Young Lily Potter: That's mean, Severus.
-Professor Severus Snape: You said you were to keep her safe!
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Lily and James put their faith in the wrong person, Severus. Rather like you. The boy survives.
Professor Severus Snape: He doesn't need protection. The Dark Lord is gone.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: The Dark Lord will return, and when he does the boy will be in terrible danger! He has her eyes. If you truly loved her...
Professor Severus Snape: No one... can know.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: That I shall never reveal the best in you?
Professor Severus Snape: Your word!
-Professor Albus Dumbledore: Don't tell me now that you've grown to care for the boy?
Professor Severus Snape: Expecto Patronum!
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Lily... After all this time?
Professor Severus Snape: Always.
-Professor Severus Snape: No! Don't kill me!
Professor Albus Dumbledore: The prophecy did not refer to a women. It spoke of a boy born at the end of July.
Professor Severus Snape: Yes but, he thinks its her son! He intends to hunt them down now, to kill them. Hide her, hide them all. I beg you.
Professor Albus Dumbledore: What will you give me in return, Severus?
Professor Severus Snape: Anything.
-Lily Potter: [to Harry] You've been so brave.
-Harry Potter: Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
-Professor Severus Snape: Look at me... you have your mother's eyes.
-Minerva McGonagall: Potter, I assume you're here for a reason. What do you need?
Harry Potter: Time. As much as you can get me, Professor.
Minerva McGonagall: Do what you have to. I'll secure the castle.
-Neville Longbottom: People die every day. Friends, family. Yeah, we lost Harry tonight. But he's still with us... in here
[gestures to chest]
Neville Longbottom: So's Fred, and Remus, Tonks... all of them. They didn't die in vain, but you will!
-Griphook: How did you come upon that sword?
Harry Potter: It's complicated. How do we get into Gringotts?
Griphook: It's complicated.
-Neville Longbottom: Right then, so what's the plan Harry?
Harry Potter: Okay, there's something we need to find, something hidden here in the castle, and it may help us defeat You-Know-Who.
Neville Longbottom: Right, what is it?
Harry Potter: We don't know.
Dean Thomas: Where is it?
Harry Potter: We don't know that either. I realise that's not much to go on.
Seamus Finnigan: That's nothing to go on.
-Minerva McGonagall: Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnigan? As I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics.
Seamus Finnigan: I can bring it down!
Minerva McGonagall: That's the spirit, now away you go.
-Helena Ravenclaw: If you have to ask, you'll never know. If you know, you need only ask. (A/N: umm … that doesn’t make sense? XD)
This was an awesome movie! ‘twas actually quite refreshing to watch a movie with someone other than your mother, meaning hayley didn’t squeak with fear and clutch @ me for anything even remotely scary, nor did she burst into tears and bawl her eyes out @ anything even ever-so-slightly touching, as mother always does. XD
- in general, most of the music was too … loud and action-ish for my tastes, but I really loved the music that was played during the attack on Hogwarts. 
- My favourite character, hands-down, was severus snape; I’m a sucker for those tall, dark sarcastic types. Actually, wait – snape wasn’t dark – he was sallow! But he was my favourite character, anyway. I particularly liked the scene when mcgonagall tries to blow him up with her wand – good ol’ snape dodged them all, of course – before leaping out of a window!
- But the harry potter series has finally come to an end … who will create the next fad to replace it?
- I still remember, eleven years back, when I was in year eight, the school decided that we were such a well-behaved cohort that they took us all to the hyperdome cinemas to see the first movie! :D can’t remember who I saw the subsequent ones with, although I saw the fifth one with aunty a and the sixth one with a bunch of church guys. I remember, after the sixth one, dr. lee asking me what had been my favourite part? I had replied enthusiastically, “when snape went AVADA KEDAVRA!”
- I was told that I was just HEARTLESS. XD
- Anyways, next post here … umm, whenever I find the time, I’ll put up my movie review of transformers three, which dad and I saw one Tuesday night @ garbo! Cya then~
- Cheers,
- Em. ^^
