Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2/Fridge
Fridge Brilliance
- Voldemort, Bellatrix, and Nagini all die and shatter into small pieces. With Bellatrix that's because of the weird... liquid nitrogen spell that Molly Weasley used. With Nagini and Voldemort, it could call back to the very first movie. Remember Quirrell when he touched Harry. Instead of burning, like in the books, Quirrell actually crumbled into ash, piece by piece. Scary, yes, but if that's a deliberate callback, that's pretty cool.
- Rewatching the eighth movie, I just thought of something. When Dumbledore was trying to convince Draco to give up, not kill him, and go into hiding, might he have been trying to course-correct. He might have known Draco disarming him would screw up his plans to break the power of the Elder Wand and hope to win it back by defeating Draco, by convincing him to surrender so the original plan, having Snape kill him without ownership of the Wand passing from him. Brilliant.
- I thought that this film was awesome, but didn't quite get why Voldemort's talk/showdown with Neville had so much emphasis put on it. Then I remembered- Neville could have been the chosen one, so he's facing the man who almost marked him as his equal!
- During Voldemort's death scene, the music playing is called Lily's Theme. Why is this important? Because the greatest Dark wizard of all time, in the end, was destroyed because a twenty-two-year-old mother refused to step aside and let her child die. Lily Potter vanquished Voldemort just as much as Harry did.
- At the end of the film, what's the very last thing we, the audience hears? An unnamed and unseen child yelling, "Goodbye!" This very well could be a farewell from the filmmakers to those in the audience who started watching the series as little kids, and saw it all the way through to the very end... a piece of their childhood saying farewell at the end of a journey from one stage of life to another.
Fridge Horror
- Where is Parvati Patil?! Her sister Padma is seen, so where's Parvati? Considering what happens to the other twins in this film, my paranoia is justified.
