Line 115:
* The part after Snape leaves the castle. The scene plays one of [[John Williams]] 's old themes for the first two films, the torches in the Great Hall light up, and it gives a feel that things are finally going to get under control and something epic is ahead.
* ''"Man the boundaries! Protect us! '''Perform your duty to our school!"'''''
** And then, after giving that order, she turns to Molly Weasley, grins like a giddy first-year, and says "I've always wanted to use that spell!"
* The film took the book's climax and made it more intense so it would be better-suited for the big picture. The result? Nagini ''chases Hermione and Ron through the castle'', destroys their basilisk fangs, and is about to kill them when [[Big Damn Heroes|Neville comes just in time to destroy her]]. And Harry's and Voldemort's final confrontation gets turned into an epic chase scene through the school rather than a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] like in the book. The book version was awesome in its own way, but it wouldn't suit the big screen very well.
* [http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/11/02/harry-potter-dvd-jk-rowling J.K.] commented on the McGonagall vs Snape showdown saying she didn't like the "[[Faux Action Girl|marginalization of women when the fighting breaks out]]. The only downside to this is that she mentions that, in an earlier draft of the book it was actually Harry [[What Could Have Been|that fought Snape]].
