Harry Potter/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

*** That scene was so well-shot. When "Moody" used the [[One-Hit Kill|Avada Kedavra]] on the spider, and just as you see the green flash and the spider's limbs start to go limp, the camera changes its focus depth to Harry in the background, who is absolutely white as a ghost because he sees the green light and almost knows what it is ''before'' "Moody" explains it.

** It's actually both a [[Tear Jerker]] AND a [[Moral Event Horizon]] for {{spoiler|Fake Moody. Think about it. HE is the one responsible for Alice & Frank's demise, along with the Lestranges. Now look at that scene again. He is basically torturing Neville for: A) His own ends, just to get a chance to revive his Lord, and B) Because he KNOWS how Neville would react.}}

*** God, that scene... somehow it's made even worse by the fact that, in the middle of this fantasy series with all sorts of funny spell effects and whimsical [[Noodle Incident|noodle incidents]], we get a very low-key, realistic depiction of a son visiting {{spoiler|his mentally shattered parents.}}

*** What got me was Harry's reaction - the part where Neville looked like he was "daring them to laugh" and it said "Harry didn't think he'd ever seen anything less funny in his life."
