Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Really, anything scary in the book Deathly Hallows are ten times worse in the movies. Voldemort's soul was sick and we get Harry and Voldemort merging mid-apparation. Freaky. But Fiendfyre is God-awful as well. It was like someone called up Satan and personally escorted his worst demons through the gates of Hell!
    • In the Purgatory-esque scene, we get a much more vivid picture of Voldemort's soul (well, the parts that have been removed from the Horcruxes, at any rate). It looks like an abortion... combined with Freddy Krueger.
    • When Voldemort uses his cloak as "tentacles" to attack Harry, he looked a little too much like a certain well-dressed gentleman...
    • Voldemort's death is... very graphic. He starts dissolving into paper like shreds, with a truly horrifying, despair-filled look on his face.
    • In the film, Voldemort's ultimatum to the school is accompanied by a chorus of inhuman shrieks, which is revealed to actually be coming from students. Apparently, whatever spell he was using had a side effect of mind raping random people.
  • For any twin, Fred Weasley's death is this, on top of being a Tear Jerker. It's not the death itself that's the nightmare, it's the fact that George is left alive and alone (well, without the person so close to him, they're all but extensions of each other). And, rather understandably, he never gets over it. It's especially bad if you are also rather terrified of loneliness.
  • The scene where Harry uses the Cruciatus Curse on Amycus Carrow can be very disturbing.
  • This picture of Fenrir Greyback. Don't look in his eyes too much.
  • Voldefetus. It doesn't help that this horrific...thing is seen in an extreme closeup, covered in blood against a completely white background. It's impossible to miss.
  • The ghost in the tower pulling a Jump Scare when she suddenly screams at Harry during his search for one of the Horcruxes.
  • Nagini attacking Snape. The movie has this as a Nothing Is Scarier moment—we see it only partially through a dirty window, and only hear the sound of the snake striking at Snape again and again. God, the screams.
