Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The entire bit surrounding Ron coming back after running out of the group. The hug he and Harry share gets me every time...
  • The dancing scene between Harry and Hermione after Ron had left. Oh, calm down. It acknowledged the elephant in the room--the latent sexual tension between Harry and Hermione--and resolved it quickly and quietly, while boiling down to a sweet moment between two people with nothing to hang on to but each other just then.
  • When Ron comes back - the look on his face when he sees Hermione. Quickly turns into a Crowning Moment of Funny when Hermione responds with "You've been gone for months and all you can do is say HEY?!"
  • Ron picking up and carrying Harry's backpack back to the Burrow after he talks him out of leaving before the wedding.
  • The scene where Harry dances with Hermione in an attempt to cheer her up. This was thought up for the film, and is immensely effective. Two people who have an unconditional, platonic love for each other, holding off the despair and hopelessness together. The fact that the song playing during this scene was O Children, one of this troper's favourite songs, reduced him to a sobbing child in the cinema.
    • This troper thinks the reason this scene works so great is that it's also Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson dancing, two young adults having grown up together, and this togetherness is coming to a real end, as well as their characters' lives could be (they both could die, technically speaking, from their characters' POV.)
