"Nowhere Is Safe"
— Official tagline
is the first instalment of a two-part film based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling.
David Yates, who directed the preceding two films, directed both parts, with Steve Kloves returning to script. The first part was released on 19 November 2010, with the second following in July 2011. Production of the two films occurred concurrently, and treated as if it were one film. The idea to split the films had been around since the middle of 2007, but only really came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloves when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling's approval.
On 12 March 2008, Warner Bros. additionally confirmed that the film would be split into two, to do justice to the book. David Yates, director of Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince returned to direct and Steve Kloves wrote the screenplay. According to Warner Bros. executive Alan F. Horn it allowed 'an extra hour and a half to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story.' Heyman described the workings behind the split: 'Deathly Hallows is so rich, the story so dense and there is so much that is resolved that, after discussing it with Rowling, we came to the conclusion that two parts were needed.' Due to the WGA strike, Kloves was not able to start work on the script until it ended.
Before David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, others had expressed an interest in the job. Alfonso Cuarón, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, had said that he would be 'tempted' to return to direct. Guillermo del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, had expressed interest in directing Deathly Hallows, but an increased workload ruled him out of the project.
Summary
, is the seventh and final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. In contrast to the book, this cinematic version has two full-length parts. Part 1: Harry Potter, with his closest friends Hermione and Ron must avoid school and instead search and destroy the Horcruxes—the keys to Voldemort's immortality. They perform this perilous mission alone without the guidance or protection of their professors, nor Dumbledore (who Snape killed). The three friends find a horcrux, but cannot destroy it. It is so powerful that it prevents them from working together. Meanwhile, the Wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorising and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as Voldemort's followers look for Harry with orders to bring him to the Dark Lord…alive. Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks. Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became 'the Boy Who Lived.' No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.
Synopsis
In the summer of 1997, Rufus Scrimgeour, newly appointed Minister for Magic, addresses the wizarding world. The ministry finally admits that Lord Voldemort has returned and is a grave threat. He concludes that the Ministry is strong. At the Dursley home, Harry Potter watches as the Dursleys pack up their car. Harry does not join because he knows he must find and destroy the Horcruxes even without the aid from the Order of the Phoenix. Similarly, Hermione Granger prepares herself for the perilous journey. She must hide herself by hexing her parents with Obliviate hex that erases her parents' memories of herself, including her appearance in photographs around the house. Ron Weasley also prepares himself for the journey, as he is seen standing outside the Burrow. Concurrently, Severus Snape arrives at Malfoy Manor, where Lord Voldemort is holding a meeting with his Death Eaters. Snape informs Voldemort of the date and time of Harry Potter's removal from 4 Privet Drive. While discussing their plans, Voldemort declares to his Death Eaters that he alone must be the one to kill Harry but that he requires another's wand to accomplish the deed, as his wand and Harry's are of the same core and so any fight involving them will end in stalemate. Lord Voldemort chooses Lucius Malfoy in punishment for his recent failures, also spitefully breaking the snake-head decoration off the wand after taking it. Voldemort then 'introduces' his gathered Death Eaters to Charity Burbage, the former Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts. He cruelly mocks her subject matter and expresses his contempt for her view that Wizards and Muggles should co-exist and interbreed. Charity pleads with Severus Snape to save her, invoking their past friendship, but Snape does nothing. Voldemort then murders Burbage on the spot, and allows his snake Nagini to devour her. Days later, several members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive at the Dursleys' to move Harry to the Burrow. Alastor Moody informs Harry that since they cannot Apparate or use the Floo network without alerting the Ministry of Magic, they must fly to the Burrow. The Order, including Ron, Hermione, and Fred and George Weasley volunteer to take Polyjuice Potion in order to disguise themselves as Harry so as to confuse the Death Eaters during the flight. Prior to leaving with Hagrid aboard Sirius Black's motorbike, Harry releases Hedwig to meet them at the Burrow. The Seven Potters are ambushed by Death Eaters during the flight to Devon, with the deaths of Mad-Eye Moody and Hedwig taking place. Voldemort duels with Harry, but Harry succeeds in overpowering him and Malfoy's wand, which is destroyed. After the Order arrive at the Burrow, it is revealed that George's ear has been cursed off by Severus Snape. Bill Weasley informs them that Mundungus Fletcher has fled upon seeing Voldemort. That night, awoken by visions of Voldemort through their connected minds, Harry attempts to leave, feeling guilty that people have been injured for him. Ron convinces Harry to stay and although he is the Chosen One, that the fight is bigger than him. The next morning, Rufus Scrimgeour arrives and meets with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, revealing that Albus Dumbledore has left them several possessions in his will. To Ron, he has left his Deluminator, a device used to remove and collect light. Dumbledore has left Hermione his copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a children's story book. To Harry, he has left the Golden Snitch that Harry had caught in his first Quidditch match. It was also intended for the Sword of Gryffindor to be left in Harry's possession, but it is missing and not eligible to given away, being the property of Hogwarts. At the Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour, Harry meets Luna Lovegood and her father Xenophilius Lovegood, whom Harry notices is bearing a strange symbol around his neck. He later talks with Elphias Doge, an elderly wizard and friend of Dumbledore's who wrote an obituary in The Daily Prophet about him. They are joined by Ron's Auntie Muriel, who suggests that Harry barely knew Dumbledore at all, informing him of several unknown facts about Dumbledore, including that he had a brother, Aberforth Dumbledore. He also hears of Bathilda Bagshot, a celebrated wizard historian who lives in Godric's Hollow. The wedding is interrupted by Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus which warns the merrymakers that the Minister Of Magic (Rufus Scrimgeour) has been killed, the Ministry has fallen and the Death Eaters are approaching. Almost immediately, the Death Eaters arrive and set the tent aflame. In the confusion, Harry seeks Ginny, but Lupin orders him to leave. Harry meets with Ron and Hermione, and the trio Apparate away, landing in Shaftesbury Avenue in Muggle London. After changing, they go to a small coffee shop to discuss their plans, when they are ambushed by Death Eaters again, disguised as city workers. The trio subdue Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle in a brief but violent skirmish and proceed to wipe their memories after Ron suggests killing them for what they did to Moody. The trio go into hiding at 12 Grimmauld Place. There, they discover the identity of R.A.B, the mysterious person who has allegedly stolen the real locket of Slytherin that Voldemort has turned into a Horcrux. As it turns out, R.A.B. is actually Sirius Black's little brother, Regulus Arcturus Black. Kreacher, the Black's house-elf, tells Harry, Hermione, and Ron that the real locket has been in the house, but that it has been stolen by Mundungus Fletcher. Harry orders Kreacher to find Mundungus and bring him back. At the Ministry of Magic many things are changing. Pius Thicknesse has replaced the dead Scrimgeour in the position of Minister for Magic. He decrees that all witches and wizards must be screened to determine their blood status, and Harry has also become a most wanted, labelled 'Undesirable No. 1'. Meanwhile, Harry has a vision of Voldemort finding Gregorovitch, a foreign wandmaker, whom he interrogates, before killing. Kreacher and Dobby return with Mundungus, who reveals that he has given the locket to Dolores Umbridge. The trio use Polyjuice Potion to take on the appearance of three Ministry officials and infiltrate the Ministry to retrieve the locket. The trio are separated as Ron must take care of Mary Cattermole, Reginald Cattermole's wife as well as an angry Yaxley; Harry goes to Umbridge's office to search for the locket; and Hermione follows Umbridge to the courtroom where she is holding unfair trials for Muggle-borns. In his search, Harry only finds the files in Umbridge's desk detailing the surveillance of his friends and their relatives. He later joins Ron and they go down to the courtroom, where a large group of Dementors are being used to scare the Muggle-borns on trial into submission and Umbridge is interrogating Mary. Harry, in a fit of rage, stuns Umbridge. He quickly retrieves the locket, and the trio successfully escape the Ministry after several wizards notice Harry, who has been deemed an Undesirable. Arriving in the Forest of Dean, Harry and Hermione discover that Ron has been splinched, and while Hermione tends to his wounds, she tells Harry that they cannot return to Grimmauld Place as Yaxley has been revealed to it. After Ron is healed, Hermione casts enchantments around the tent they have set up to conceal them from the Death Eaters who are now looking for Harry; the trio try to destroy the locket, but to no avail. They decide that they will search the countryside for more Horcruxes while taking turns wearing the locket. Soon, they realise that while wearing the locket, the wearer feels more angry, suspicious, fearful, and overall bad-tempered than normal. Ron is affected most particularly, and while wearing the locket he bitterly notices Harry and Hermione spending a lot of time together. They begin to listlessly wander the countryside, and one day while Harry is pondering the Snitch Dumbledore left him, Hermione tells him that Snitches have flesh memories. The Snitch can remember which person caught it, and it will only open to that person. One night, Hermione comes to realise why Dumbledore has left Harry Godric Gryffindor's Sword. She tells him that the sword is Goblin-made, meaning that it does not retain rust or scratches, but it does imbibe any and all things that will make it stronger. As Harry has killed Salazar Slytherin's basilisk in his second year with the sword, the sword is now impregnated with basilisk venom, one of the few rare substances that can destroy a Horcrux. This revelation causes Ron, who is wearing the locket, to snap. As the locket has increased Ron's increasing worry for his family and the fact that they have still not found another Horcrux yet, he lashes out at Harry and abandons the two in the wilderness after Hermione is forced to pick Harry over Ron. Hermione is heartbroken by Ron's sudden departure and Harry attempts to cheer her up by dancing together and smiling. The next day, Harry ponders about the Snitch. He presses his lips to it and writing appears: 'I open at the close.' He shows it to Hermione, but they cannot make anything of the inscription nor can they make anything of the weird symbol Hermione found while perusing her copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Later, Harry proposes that they visit Godric's Hollow. Hermione agrees, because she believes that the Sword of Gryffindor may be hidden there, in the home of Bathilda Bagshot. They depart for Godric's Hollow, and Hermione surmises that it is Christmas Eve. They pass into the graveyard, where Hermione discovers the same symbol upon a grave labelled 'Ignotus Peverell.' She looks up to find Harry standing in front of his parents' grave. She comforts him and conjures a wreath of flowers for the grave. The two then notice that they are being watched by someone who appears to be Bathilda Bagshot. She beckons them inside her home, where Hermione finds a copy of Rita Skeeter's book titled The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. As Harry proceeds to communicate with Bathilda, Bathilda responds in Parseltongue and does not directly answer Harry's questions, such as when Harry picked up a familiar picture in Bathilda's home. Later, it is revealed that Nagini has been disguised as Bathilda and attacks Harry. Hermione saves Harry and the two narrowly escape back into the Forest of Dean, where Harry learns his wand is broken. Harry awakens in the forest. Hermione tells him that they are in the Forest of Dean, where she has once visited with her parents, musing that they will not recognise her any more and vainly proposing that she and Harry turn away from their destinies and grow old together in hiding. She also reveals to Harry that his wand had been destroyed in the skirmish and that the man in the picture in Bagshot's home was Gellert Grindelwald, a dark wizard who was defeated in 1945 and a brief friend of Albus Dumbledore. That night, Harry sits outside on guard when a silver doe Patronus lures him. He follows it to a small frozen pond, where it disappears. Investigating further, Harry discovers the Sword of Gryffindor is at the bottom of the pond. He strips down and dives in to retrieve it without removing the Locket. Sensing the Sword, the Locket tries to strangle Harry to prevent its destruction. However, Harry is saved by Ron, who also retrieves the Sword from the pool. Harry proceeds to open the locket, which in turn liberates a dark force which attacks and isolates Harry, then trying to defend itself by producing illusions of Ron's fears and anguishes, including one in which Harry and Hermione show pure and complete despise towards him before engaging in a passionate kiss. Although reluctant and emotionally affected by the locket's illusions, Ron ultimately destroys it with the use of the Sword. They return to the tent, where Hermione grows increasingly angry at Ron for having the audacity to return. Ron reveals that Dumbledore's Deluminator not only collects and removes light sources, but it also guided him back to Harry and Hermione, conveniently when Harry was being strangled by the locket. Soon, Hermione proposes that they visit Xenophilius Lovegood saying that he could explain the mysterious symbol, which has again cropped up in The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. They visit the Lovegood House, where Mr Lovegood reveals that it is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. Xenophilius prods them on to read The Tale of the Three Brothers, and they learn of the three Peverell brothers. He informs them of the Deathly Hallows which are revealed to be three legendary items featured in the story: the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in existence; the Resurrection Stone, a stone that can bring back the dead; and the Cloak of Invisibility, which conceals the wearer from sight. Whoever wields all three items will become the Master of Death. Xenophilius then intentionally triggers the taboo on Voldemort's name as ransom for his daughter Luna Lovegood, whom the Death Eaters have captured. The trio successfully escape back to the forest, where a group of Snatchers are waiting to capture them. Hermione casts a Stinging Jinx on Harry, after which he envisions Lord Voldemort interrogating Grindelwald at Nurmengard. Grindelwald tells him that the Elder Wand lies with Dumbledore and Voldemort leaves. They are captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. At Malfoy Manor, Draco Malfoy is asked to identify the real Harry Potter, but he hesitates in doing so. Bellatrix spots the Sword of Gryffindor. She orders Harry and Ron imprisoned in the cellar, where Luna Lovegood, the wandmaker Garrick Ollivander, and Griphook the Goblin are also being held captive. Bellatrix tortures Hermione on how they got the sword, which she believed to be in her vault at Gringotts. Harry, using the two-way mirror Sirius Black had given him, sees another man's face staring back at him. He begs the man in the mirror for help, and Dobby immediately Apparates to save them. At Harry's request, Dobby Disapparates with Luna and Ollivander to Shell Cottage and arrives back to free Harry and Ron. Several duels ensue between Narcissa, Ron, Harry, and Draco, but Dobby is able to cause a distraction in which Harry disarms Draco and Ron retrieves Hermione. However, Bellatrix kills Dobby as the prisoners Apparate to Shell Cottage. The trio tearfully prepare a proper burial for him at Bill and Fleur's home. Voldemort breaks into Dumbledore's tomb and successfully retrieves the Elder Wand, unleashing a thunderbolt into the sky.
Pre-production began on 26 January 2009, and filming began on 19 February 2009 at Leavesden Film Studios, where the previous six films had been shot, and Pinewood Studios.
Eduardo Serra is the cinematographer. Yates said that the film will be shot 'with loads of hand-held cameras. I want to shake things up every time I go into this world. I like experimenting as we go along.'
In January 2010, Alexandre Desplat was confirmed to produce the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. The French composer recorded the music in London studios with the London Symphony Orchestra.
"We will start this summer, it will take me all summer, I will not have many holidays, but again it's for good reason, for the soundtrack. I would take every opportunity to use the fabulous theme composed by John Williams, I'd say it has not sufficiently used in the latest films, so if I have the opportunity and if the footage allows me, I'm going to arrange it, to give it another meaning... Well, I have no obligation to use it but I shall make it with great honour and pleasure."

The soundtrack was released on 16 November 2010 in U.K. and the U.S.

Escape from Privet Drive
•A scene is added at the beginning of the film, where Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour gives a speech assuring that the Ministry will 'remain strong' and take action against the Dark side. •The scenes of the film were not chronologically arranged, the Dursleys left before the meeting at Malfoy Manor in the film, however, in the book, it should be 'The Dark Lord Ascending' then 'The Dursleys Departing'. •A scene is added showing Hermione modifying her parents' memories and leaving, which was only stated in the book and not actually shown. In the film, instead of modifying her parents' memories to make them think they did not have a daughter, Hermione uses Obliviate, a more permanent spell. This is shown making her disappear from the family's photos, though it is possible she only used the spell on the photos and modified her parents' memories differently. There is no mention of restoring their memories later, though it can be assumed she had. •Harry never had the mokeskin pouch in the film version but otherwise he has his rucksack which was kept in Hermione's beaded bag. •Details of the Dursleys talking to Harry before leaving Privet Drive are omitted, and the Dursleys are briefly seen but without any spoken lines to Harry. Dudley does not show warmth towards Harry, nor does Petunia seem to. However, it had been filmed and is included as a deleted scene in the Blu-ray combo pack release. •The Dursleys appear to be leaving willingly, fully aware of their danger, rather than taken into magical protection by Dedalus and Hestia. •In the book, Snape arrives at Malfoy Manor accompanied by Yaxley with whom he has a brief conversation. In the film, Snape is alone. Yaxley is already in the meeting room when Snape enters. •There is no mention of the second breakout of Azkaban made in the film. It is possible that there may not have been a breakout, rather, Voldemort may have simply influenced the Ministry of Magic to have the prisoners released. However, Lucius Malfoy's physical condition has noticeably deteriorated, a likely reference to his imprisonment. He is also more noticeably afraid and unstable, though this may be attributed to Voldemort's increasing prowess. •In the book, Yaxley places Pius Thicknesse under the Imperius Curse, giving the Death Eaters control over the Ministry. In the film, Pius Thicknesse is (presumably) not under the curse, but is a willing Death Eater or accomplice. However, he seems to be noticeably nervous before Voldemort and appears to be threatened and afraid of Nagini. •Voldemort does not taunt Bellatrix and Narcissa about Tonks's marriage to Remus Lupin. •In the film, before Voldemort kills Charity Burbage, Draco seems to have some sympathy over her death. •The shard of glass in which Harry sees Aberforth Dumbledore's eye, though seen many times in the film, is not explained in the film proper, as Sirius's two-way mirror was omitted from the previous films, and is only featured in the final film. The shard is only explained in a deleted scene from the final film, where Ron asks about it and Harry tells him he can see Dumbledore in it. •Due to their omission from the previous films, Bill Weasley and Mundungus Fletcher introduce themselves to Harry when they arrive at Privet Drive. •Tonks' marriage to Lupin, and subsequent pregnancy are not explained in the film, she starts mentioning herself and Lupin, but gets interrupted by Moody. •There is no mention of Harry's Polyjuice Potion being gold-coloured or tasting better than other Polyjuice Potions. Instead, Moody warns those that haven't taken Polyjuice before that it 'tastes like goblin piss'. •Harry refuses to allow the others to take the Polyjuice Potion and become him, just as in the book. However, in the book, after being pressured by Moody, Harry reluctantly provides his hair for the potion, whereas in the film, Hermione snatches some hair from the back of his head after he initially refuses. •In the book, Moody provides drinking glasses for the fake Potters, pouring some potion in each glass. In the film, Moody only has his flask of the potion, which each Potter decoy takes a drink from, and then passes to the next. •In the book, each Potter decoy carries a rucksack and a cage containing a stuffed owl. The decoys do not carry either of these in the film, and Harry having his owl would serve as a give-away to the Death Eaters. •The Battle of the Seven Potters has been expanded in the film, including a chase between Hagrid and a Death Eater, taking place over a Muggle freeway, with cars and other vehicles being overturned or thrown at Harry and Hagrid. The chase continues through a tunnel, where Hagrid is upside-down as he drives along the tunnel ceiling, with Harry hanging from the sidecar, having to run across the roofs of the oncoming vehicles. •The sidecar does not get separated from the bike like it does in the book. •In the film, Harry lets Hedwig go free before leaving Privet Drive, and she returns while Harry and Hagrid are being pursued. She then blocks a Killing Curse that a Death Eater cast at Harry, which gives him away during the Battle of the Seven Potters. In the book, Hedwig remains in her cage the whole time, eventually being killed by a stray curse. The give-away in the book is when Harry uses a Disarming Charm on Stan Shunpike. •Due to Andromeda and Ted Tonks' omission from the film, the Order of the Phoenix all arrive at the Burrow instead of their respective safe-houses and Portkeys. The aftermath of the Burrow's burning in the previous film is not brought up, and the house appears undamaged. •Remus Lupin does not identify Severus Snape as George Weasley's attacker, leaving the identity of the attacker a mystery. •George's ear isn't removed, but it is heavily scarred and deformed. •Molly Weasley smiles at George's 'holey' joke about losing an ear, instead of becoming even sadder. •The news of Moody's death is reduced to a statement by Bill. The group drinking and toasting to him is omitted.
The Wedding and the Luchino Caffe Duel
•In the film, a scene is added showing Harry attempting to leave the Burrow at night, but he is stopped by Ron, who persuades him to stay until after the wedding. •The days Harry, Ron and Hermione spend at the Burrow between their arrival there and the day of the wedding are largely omitted in the film, including preparations for the wedding and for the Horcrux hunt. In the film, the wedding appears to happen the very next day. •Harry is supposed to be disguised as Barny Weasley, another Weasley relative, at the wedding, so nobody would give away that he was there, but in the film he is not disguised. •Harry and Ginny share a kiss in the Burrow's kitchen instead of Ginny's bedroom before being interrupted by George Weasley instead of Ron. It is also not mentioned that this was his birthday kiss to remind him of her if he meets a veela when 'he's off doing whatever he's doing' but merely a normal kiss. •In the book, after Ron catches Harry and Ginny 'snogging', he has a brief argument with Harry afterwards that Harry shouldn't get her, Ginny's, hopes up again after they broke up in the previous book. This was omitted from the film as Harry and Ginny never broke up in the previous film due to the fact that they never dated because they kissed 'secretly' in the Room of Requirement instead of kissing in the Gryffindor common room in front of all of the Gryffindors. •In the film, the scene in which the ceremony official is presiding over the ceremony and Bil and Fleur saying their vows is omitted, and instead only the wedding reception is shown. •Viktor Krum, Gabrielle Delacour, Apolline Delacour, Monsieur Delacour and possibly Charlie Weasley are all present at the wedding, as they are in the book, but their roles are reduced to extras in the film. Olympe Maxime also attends the wedding in the film, whereas she was not said to have attended in the book. •Hermione wears a red dress to the wedding as opposed to the lilac one she wears in the book. •The Patronus at the wedding is not identified as Kingsley Shacklebolt's, and appears as a ball of white light rather than a lynx. However, Shacklebolt's distinctive voice can be heard speaking out of it. •During the reception, Harry learns from Elphias Doge that Dumbledore had a brother named Aberforth. Harry never knew that Dumbledore had a brother and Elphias states that he was always very private, even as a boy while in the book he does know about it. •When Death Eaters arrive at the wedding, Elphias Doge approaches Harry Potter and says a goodbye before fleeing. •Harry initially tries to assist Ginny in fighting a Death Eater at the wedding, before he is hurried by Lupin to flee with Ron and Hermione. •In the film, Harry, Ron and Hermione Apparated in Shaftesbury Avenue instead of Tottenham Court Road. •Harry is not under the disguise of the Invisibility Cloak whilst in Shaftesbury Avenue. •Harry's birthday party does not happen, as Hermione and Ginny had planned it with a cake to take place at the end of the wedding. •During the scene when the Trio fights the two Death Eaters, the waitress is in another room listening to an MP3 player instead of being in the firefight and hit by a stray spell.
Infiltration of the Ministry
•A scene is added showing Death Eaters stopping and searching the Hogwarts Express. Their intentions are left ambiguous until explained by Xenophilius Lovegood much later in the film. •Cho Chang, Katie Bell, and Cormac McLaggen are all seen on the Hogwarts Express, even though they should have graduated the previous year. However, a possible explanation to all this is that Katie was to return to make up for all the time she spent in St Mungo's and McLaggen failing all his studies due to thinking up Quidditch plans or had to repeat a previous year. Another explanation would be that they had left the school due to Dumbledore's death prior to taking their N.E.W.T.S. With regards to Katie, she is implied to be in Harry's year in the films anyway seeing as she is shown to be in his Potions class in the sixth film. •The events of the new school year at Hogwarts, including the re-forming of Dumbledore's Army and Snape's position as Headmaster have been largely omitted, except for an announcement about the latter, and a scene where Harry observes Snape with the Marauder's Map and finds him in the Headmaster's office. •Lupin is not present at Grimmauld Place, and the large argument between him and Harry about the former's son is omitted. •A scene is added in Grimmauld Place where Hermione unsuccessfully attempts to teach Ron how to play the piano. •The tale of Regulus Black's death is omitted from the film. •Kreacher is accompanied by Dobby when he returns to Harry with Mundungus Fletcher even though Dobby has been omitted in all of the previous films (except for the Chamber of Secrets). •Hermione never puts the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black in her beaded bag as the portrait was omitted from existing in Grimmauld Place but was only seen in Dumbledore's study in the 5th film. •Harry never remembers that the Slytherin locket has been in Grimmauld Place and they passed it around trying to open it while cleaning up Grimmauld Place in the 5th book because the cleaning up part has been omitted from the 5th film. •Only Mafalda Hopkirk's ambush is shown, and Albert Runcorn and Reginald Cattermole appear to have been Stunned, as Mafalda was, rather than given Skiving Snackboxes. •Harry does not recover Moody's magical eye from Umbridge's door at the Ministry, nor does he appear to recognise it as Moody's. •In Umbridge's office, when Harry is trying to find Salazar Slytherin's locket, he finds four record files which are added into the film: Moody's, Hermione's, Sirius's, and Dumbledore's. •Harry, Ron and Hermione have their disguises wear off at different times: Harry's wears off first, followed by Hermione's, then Ron's. •The man being dragged from Umbridge's courtroom does not claim to be related to Arkie Alderton, but another wizard. •A humorous scene is added where Ron, as Reginald, tries to leave Mary Cattermole so he can regroup with Harry and Hermione. Before she lets him go, she forces a kiss onto him, unaware that he is in fact Ron. Ron's Polyjuice Potion wears off at this point, and at the same time the real Reginald finds Mary and Ron kissing. Ron then leaves Reginald and a very confused Mary to regroup with Harry and Hermione. •Ron, as Reg Cattermole, stuns Yaxley in the Ministry of Magic as they are escaping, rather than Harry Potter under the Invisibility Cloak, as he does in the book.
Harry, Ron and Hermione walk away from their last year at Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, putting an end to Voldemort's bid for immortality. But with Harry's beloved Dumbledore dead and Voldemort's unscrupulous Death Eaters on the loose, the world is more dangerous than ever.
