Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • McGonagall animates the stone knights to defend Hogwarts and then... with all the excitement of a first year just arriving at Hogwarts... gleefully says, "I've always wanted to use that spell!" And then giggles like a schoolgirl.
    • Made all the more priceless by Molly's expression. It positively screams, "...really?"
    • When this troper went go go see Deathly Hallows 2 in the theater, nearly everyone there cracked up at that line. That giddy tone was just so unexpected from McGonagall.
  • Voldemort's INCREDIBLY awkward attempt at hugging Draco following what he believes is his final victory. He simply has no idea what he's doing. This gained Memetic status as "awkward Voldemort hug".
  • Neville taunting the onrushing Death Eater army after they hit the defensive barrier. And then his Oh Crap reaction after the barrier is eventually neutralized.
  • After Hermione drinks the Polyjuice Potion to look like Bellatrix:

Hermione: "How do I look?"
Ron: "Hideous."

    • Helena Bonham Carter's performance during that entire sequence is such a hilarious contrast to how she usually is in these movies, playing Hermione-as-Bellatrix trying so hard to look dangerous.
  • Another, when McGonagall starts getting the school into defense mode and she tells Neville he can go blow up the bridge:

Neville: You're actually giving us permission to do this?
McGonagall: That is correct, Longbottom!
Neville: To blow it up? Boom?
McGonagall: Boom!

    • And then immediately after that, Neville asks how they're going to blow it up:

McGonagall: Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnegan; as I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics.

    • This entire exchange had the whole theater in stitches.
  • Neville calmly regaining consciousness in slow motion while the battle rages on behind him, looking a little punch drunk, but otherwise pretty nonchalant.
    • What really hit this troper was that, not only was the Battle of Hogwarts raging on in the background, there was a guy flying through the air, in slow-motion, on fire, while Neville looked like he was getting up from a nap.
  • The film adaptation of Filch running in screaming "STUDENTS IN THE HALLS! STUDENTS OUT OF BEDS!!!" He bursts into the Great Hall, packed with students and teachers. Everyone just gives him a deadpan stare, which just screams "You idiot." He takes a step back from all the concentrated vehemence, complete with a little "...Oh."

McGonagall: They're supposed to be, you blithering idiot!

    • In a wonderful Funny Background Event, after all the dust has settled, Filch can be seen trying to clean up the massive amount of rubble and debris that much of Hogwarts has been reduced to... with a push broom.
      • Oh god, that was hilarious! In fact, I'm almost positive that when the film goes to DVD, poeple will start freezing it at random moments to inspect the various background moments and Freeze-Frame Bonuses.
      • YMMV... this troper found it heartbreaking to see how he's utterly lost his bearings and is grasping at straws for something he can do while his life has literally crumbled to pieces around him (keep in mind this is an old man who can't even do magic and whom no one ever took seriously except for Dumbledore).
  • Luna's OOC Is Serious Business moment in the final film ("Harry Potter, you listen to me RIGHT NOW!")
  • Pansy Parkinson's hysterical "What are you waiting for? He's standing over there! Somebody grab him!" In the books the narration portrays her as a bitch but in the movie, she seems to be a random Slytherin girl which makes it more funny.
  • Harry gets a moment of Genre Savvy early on in the film, wwhen Ron and Hermione ask what the plan is. Harry basically replies, "I'm making this up as I go along. None of our plans work out anyway."

Harry: Since when have any of our plans actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose.

    • Made even more hilarious when you consider that in the book, they literally spend months planning stuff and wandering about trying to figure out what to do, and when they do get around to doing something, everything goes to shit and loads of stuff starts to happen all at once.
  • Harry has an important mission for the D.A.:

Harry: Okay, there's something we need to find, something hidden here in the castle, and it may help us defeat You-Know-Who.
Neville: Right, what is it?
Harry: We don't know.
Dean: Where is it?
Harry: We don't know that either. I realize that's not much to go on.
Seamus: That's nothing to go on.

  • After The Trio get back to Hogwarts, Ginny breaks through the crowd in the Room of Requirement and Harry and Ginny just stare at each other

Ron: I just get back and she looks at me like I'm a franky first-year
Seamus: She's got plenty of those though. There's only one Harry.
Ron: Shut up Seamus.

  • Ron chasing after the Terrible Trio in the Room of Requirement, yelling "THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND, YOU NUMPTY!" after Goyle attempts to use Avada Kedavra against Hermione.
  • "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!"
  • The moment where Voldemort announces "Harry Potter is DEAD!" and follows it with an absolutely ridiculous "HEH HEH HEH..." One of the funniest moments in the film, it's so awkwardly done, it's reached Memetic status. Four movies worth of Voldemort's characterization completely fell flat on its face right there.
    • This troper remembers how the whole theatre burst into uncontrollable giggles, "Whats?" and even Face Palming. You can only wonder just how could they have left that in there.
  • Voldy's half-second of visible anger management before he says, "Well, Neville, I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to hear what you have to say."
  • Harry tries out the wand Ron gave him:

Harry: (points at a candle) Engorgio! (candle turns into a geyser of fire, Harry points wand at candle, in panic:) Reducio! (candle goes back to normal)
Hermione: What's going on in there?!
Harry, Ron: Nothing!

    • For this troper, the fact that Harry's voice morphs as though he's successfully gone through puberty a second time when he hollars "REDUCIO!!" put him in stitches and made him have to rewind and watch again.
