"Filmsms" that should be included in the TV show! | Voldemort's death, snapping the elder wand, Neville's arc, More!
In this episode, we talk about moments in the films that should be in the TV show. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 2:10 Harry breaking the elder wand. In the book, Harry simply repairs his own wand then returns the elder wand to Dumbledore’s grave. It’s a nice message, but the film does this much better. Harry snapping the wand and throwing it off the bridge shows a much more powerful ending and a more finite ending to a painful journey.
· 10:04 McGonagall teaching the students to dance. This is a really funny scene and one that deserves a spot in the TV show. But it is also a perfect example of what is to come. Just as Harry has to learn to dance, he also has to learn how to fight and hunt Voldemort.
· 15:15 Harry and Hermione in the tent. After Ron leaves, Hermione wallows in sadness. Harry sees this and leads her in a dance. This illustrates Harry and Hermione’s relationship which is one we don’t get to see to often.
· 19:14 A weird Voldemort death. Voldemort isn’t human at the end, but in the book, he just dies and they put him in a room off the Great Hall. The film makes the wise decision of showing a weird death fitting of someone who has departed humanity, and the TV show should be taking notes. This moment should be more than an old man keeling over.
· 24:21 Neville’s bridge. He is always making progress, and this last sequence is the final test for him, a test he passes. This bridge scene where he takes down a hoard of death eaters is such an important scene that isn’t in the book, and the TV show should include it to finish off Neville’s arc in style.
