HOGWART

Hogwarts didirikan oleh empat penyihir hebat bernama Godric Griffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, dan Helga Hufflepuff pada sekitar tahun 1000 M. Nama-nama mereka kemudian dijadikan sebagai nama asrama murid-murid Hogwarts yang memiliki kepribadian yang sesuai dengan keempat pendiri tersebut. Hogwarts memiliki semboyan "draco dormiens nunquam titillandus" yang berarti "jangan membangunkan naga tidur"

Berkaitan dengan Salazar Slytherin, diceritakan dalam Harry Potter dan Kamar Rahasia bahwa Slytherin membangun sebuah kamar rahasia yang dihuni oleh monster yang hanya bisa dikendalikan oleh keturunan Slytherin (belakangan diketahui kalau monster ini adalah Basilisk, ular raksasa yang bisa membunuh hanya dengan pandangan matanya). Slytherin membangun kamar rahasia ini dengan harapan agar cita-citanya untuk menjadikan Hogwarts sebagai sekolah sihir hanya untuk mereka yang berasal dari keluarga penyihir dapat terwujud.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

The film opens as Hermione and Harry simultaneously prepare to begin searching for and destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes. Meanwhile, Severus Snape arrives at Malfoy Manor and tells Voldemort and the rest of his council that he has been apointed the new head of Hogwarts, and that the Order of the Phoenix will move Harry Potter from Privet Drive to a more secure location. Voldemort borrows Lucius Malfoy's wand to avoid doing battle with twin wands and murders Charity Burbage, Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts.

After Harry's fearful and loathsome in-laws, the Duresleys, flee from their house and the neighborhood thus leaving Harry alone, the Order of the Phoenix arrives to meet Harry, and six others, which include Ron, Hermione, Fred and George Weasley, Fleur Delacour, and Mundungus Fletcher, to take Polyjuice Potion to become Harry's doppelgängers. Harry and the six copies leave Privet Drive paired with a protector, with the real Harry riding with Hagrid on his flying motorcycle. They are intercepted almost immediately by Death Eaters, and the pairs scatter. Voldemort appears, but Harry's wand defeats Voldemort's borrowed one and they arrive safely at the Burrow. All but Mad-Eye Moody, who was killed in the skirmish by Voldemort, and Mundungus, who disapparated when he saw Voldemort, arrive after, but George has a bad head wound from a curse Snape conjured. Ron convinces Harry to remain at the Burrow until after Bill and Fleur's wedding, before leaving to find and destroy the Horcruxes.

Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour arrives at the Burrow and distributes the items from Dumbledore's last will and testament to Ron (the Deluminator), Hermione (personal copy of "The Tales of Beetle the Bard"), and Harry (the first Snitch Harry caught and the missing Sword of Gryffindor). During the wedding, Harry sees Xenophilius Lovegood and notices a strange symbol on his necklace. Harry talks to Elphias Dodge, one of Dumbledore's old friends, and Ron's Aunt Muriel, a gossiper, and learns that the Dumbledore family once lived in Harry's hometown, Godric's Hollow. A Patronus message sent by Kingsley Shacklebolt appears and warns that the Ministry has fallen, Scrimgeour is dead, and that "they are coming". Death Eaters appear, and Harry, Ron and Hermione disapparate to London.

Taking refuge in a cafe, they discuss their immediate plans, but before they can leave two Death Eaters arrive. The trio win the duel and escape to Grimmauld Place, where they discover that Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius' younger brother, is the R.A.B. from the false locket found at the end of Half-Blood Prince. Kreacher reveals that the real locket was in the house, but Mundungus took it when he looted Grimmauld Place. Harry sends Kreacher to retrieve Mundungus, who explains that Umbridge extorted it from him in return for not revoking his peddler's license. They plan to break into the Ministry, now under the eye of Death Eaters, to recover it.

Harry, Ron, and Hermoine capture and impersonate three Ministry members and enter their secret Ministery offices, but are quickly split up: Hermione to the courtrooms with Umbridge to witness a false trial, Ron to the Head of Magical Law Enforcement's (Death Eater Yaxley's) office to deal with a lingering rainstorm charm, and Harry is left free to wander since he serendipitously copied the Death Eater Runcorn. Harry finds Umbridge's office, but not the locket, and makes his way down to courtroom, joined by Ron. They and Hermione stun Umbridge and take back the locket, and attempt to leave the Ministry. However, their Polyjuice Potion wears off, and during the battle to Floo away, Yaxley catches hold of them as they appear at Grimmauld Place.

Since they can no longer safely hide there with Yaxley now a Secret-Keeper, Hermione apparates them away to a forest. Ron gets splinched in the process, preventing the group from leaving their location until he recovers. They attempt to destroy the locket, but it proves indestructible to their magic, so they are forced to take turns wearing it despite its negative effect on their morale. While wearing it, Harry sees a vision of Voldemort interrogating and killing Gregorovitch the wand-maker, and going off in search of a mysterious teenage wizard that Gregorovitch said robbed his shop many years ago.

As they apparate around the countryside to camp in secluded places, Ron becomes increasingly suspicious that Harry and Hermione are becoming more than friends. While wearing the locket, he overhears Hermione discover that, if they can find the Sword of Gryffindor they can use it to destroy the Horcruxes. This realization that they must find yet another thing they don't know the location of, coupled with his increasing suspicion and resentment, drives him to leave the group and return home. Harry and Hermione are forced to teleport away, leaving Ron no way to return even if he wished to. Hermione takes his exit very badly, so Harry dances with her to a song on the radio to cheer her up--but the romantic situation is too much for Hermione, and she reverts to her sad mood.

Harry decides to visit Godric's Hollow, both to return there for the first time since Voldemort attacked him and to try and meet Bathilda Bagshot, a magical historian who "knew the Dumbledores better than anyone". They find the church graveyard, and Hermione discovers that a man named Ignotus Peverell's tombstone features the same symbol on Lovegood's necklace and in Dumbledore's book. Harry discovers his parent's gravestone, and an old woman approaches them while they pay their respects. Harry guesses that the woman is Bagshot, and they follow her to her home. Harry sees a picture of the teen from Gregorovitch's memory, and Bagshot takes him to the attic while Hermione wanders downstairs. She finds signs of a bloody attack, and realizes that the real Bagshot must be dead; the woman with Harry decomposes before his eyes into Voldemort's snake Nagini, and after a fight Harry and Hermione escape with the only casualty being Harry's wand. Hermione says that the teen from Gregorovitch's memory is Gellert Grindelwald.

In the forest where they spend the night, Harry sees a patronus doe while keeping watch, and follows it to a frozen pond. He discovers the Sword of Gryffindor at the bottom, but as he swims to reach it the locket goes berserk and attempts to drown him. Ron appears and saves him, grabbing the sword, and Harry convinces Ron to try and destroy the Horcrux. When Harry opens the locket using parseltongue, a monstrous black cloud erupts and shows Ron terrible visions--spiders, a ghostly Harry telling Ron that Mrs. Weasley wanted him for a son, and a ghostly Hermione mocking him and asking why she would choose Ron over The Chosen One, and the two forms begin kissing. Ron angrily attacks the locket with the sword, destroying the Horcrux, and the two return to the tent. Hermione is furious with Ron for leaving and returning like nothing happened, but the trio decide to visit Mr. Lovegood to find out about the symbol.

At the Lovegood house, Mr. Lovegood teaches them about the Deathly Hallows--an invincible Elder Wand, a Resurrecting Stone, and an Invisibility Cloak--and tells them the story of the three Peverell Brothers, who possessed the items. When the group attempts to leave, Mr. Lovegood reveals that the Death Eaters have taken Luna, and he must keep them there until they arrive to see his daughter again. They escape in the ensuing attack, but disapparate back to a former campground, where a group of Snatchers are waiting to capture them and take them to the Ministry. Hermione uses a Stinging Hex to disfigure Harry's face, but when the Snatchers see Harry's scar through the swelling they instead take the group to Malfoy Manor to collect a reward that was set for Harry.

Since the Malfoys and Bellatrix cannot be sure that the disfigured person is Harry, despite the fact that he is travelling with Ron and Hermione, they refrain from summoning Voldemort until the swelling dies down. However, Bellatrix sees the Sword of Gryffindor, which she believes resides in her vault at Gringott's Bank. She imprisons Harry and Ron in the cellar, where they find Luna, Ollivander, and a goblin; Bellatrix brutally tortures Hermione to try to find out how they stole the sword. Wormtail takes the goblin upstairs to be interrogated, and Harry summons Dobby, who frees Luna and Ollivander before breaking Harry and Ron out. They go to rescue Hermione and the goblin, but despite winning the duels with Dobby's help - Harry manages to win Draco's wand and picks up Bellatrix' wand - Bellatrix throws a knife that stabs and kills Dobby as they disapparate. Harry gives Dobby a proper burial on the beach where they appear.

The movie ends with Voldemort opening Dumbledore's tomb and taking the Elder Wand.


May be better



The film opens with Rufus Scrimgeour, newly appointed Minister of Magic, addressing the magical world about Voldemort slowly returning to power. The film cuts to Harry Potter watching as his fearful and loathsome uncle Vernon, cousin Dudley, and aunt Petunia Dursley pack up their car and leave him behind in their empty and abandoned house. Ron Weasly is shown standing outside the Burrow, contemplating the tasks ahead that he knows he and his two friends will have to face soon. Meanwhile, Hermione Granger is going around her own house, erasing herself from all of the family portraits, as well as wiping her parents' memories of anything having to do with their daughter before finally leaving.

Severus Snape, meanwhile, arrives at Malfoy Manor, where Lord Voldemort is holding a meeting between himself and his Death Eaters. Snape takes his place among them, and informs Voldemort of the date and time Harry Potter will be moved from Number 4 Privet Drive. He also informs the group that the Ministry is just within their control. Voldemort tells his Death Eaters that he alone must be the one to kill Harry, but he cannot do so with his wand due to the connection shared between their cores. He forces Lucius Malfoy to give him Malfoy's own wand. Voldemort then kills Charity Burbage, the Muggle Studies teacher from Hogwarts, and feeds her body to Nagini as the Death Eaters look on.

Several members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive at Number 4, Privet Drive to move Harry to the Burrow. Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody informs Harry that since they can't apparate or use the Floo network without being watched by the Ministry of Magic, they must fly to the Burrow. Ron, Hermione, Fleur Delacour, Mundungus Fletcher, and Fred and George Weasley all take Polyjuice Potion in order to disguise themselves as Harry. The plan is that if the Death Eaters attack them while they move, then they won't know which Harry Potter is the real one. Before taking off with Hagrid on Sirius' flying motorcycle, Harry releases Hedwig to fly and meet them at the Burrow. Everybody takes off and is almost immediately attacked by the Death Eaters. A chase ensues, during which Hedwig joins the fight, but is killed. Harry is then pursued by Voldemort himself. Harry's wand acts of its own accord and defends Harry from Voldemort's curse, destroying Lucius's wand. Harry and Hagrid then pass through the protective enchantment surrounding the Burrow and land.

The rest of the Order arrives at the Burrow, shaken because of the attack and the obvious betrayal. George and Lupin show up, with George's left ear having been cursed off. Bill Weasley arrives and sadly informs the group that Mad-Eye Moody was killed and that Fletcher had fled in fear. Afterwards, while everyone is asleep, Harry attempts to leave, feeling guilty that people have been injured or killed for him. Ron stops him and convinces him that the fight is bigger than him, and that he should stay long enough to see Bill and Fleur's wedding.

Harry dreams of Voldemort raging at an imprisoned Ollivander, the wandmaker, about Lucius's wand not working to defeat Harry. While the group is setting up the tent for the wedding, Rufus Scrimgeour arrives and meets with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He reveals to them that Albus Dumbledore left them several possessions in his will. To Ron, he left his deluminator, the device Dumbledore used on his arrival at Privet Drive to turn out and put back lights. To Hermione, Dumbledore left his copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a series of wizarding children's stories. To Harry, he left the Golden Snitch that he caught in his first Quidditch match. Scrimgeour also tells Harry that Dumbledore also left him the sword of Godric Gryffindor, but since it was not Dumbledore's to give away and that the sword is currently missing, Harry does not receive it.

Bill and Fleur's wedding commences, and Harry sits and talks with Elphias Doge, an elderly wizard who knew Dumbledore and wrote his obituary in The Daily Prophet. They are joined by Ron's Auntie Muriel, who tells Harry that he barely knew Dumbledore at all, and proceeds to tell Harry snippets of Dumbledore's strange past, including information about his father killing three Muggles, his sister dying tragically and strangely, his brother being a recluse and oddball of the Dumbledore family, and the Dumbledore family living in Godric's Hollow as neighbors to the Potters and Bathilda Bagshot, a world-renowned author and historian. The wedding is interrupted by Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus arriving suddenly to inform everybody that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, Scrimgeour is dead, and the Death Eaters are coming. Harry, Ron, and Hermione apparate to central London just as the Death Eaters arrive.

They go to a small coffee shop to discuss their next course of action is, when they are suddenly attacked by two Death Eaters. The trio subdues them and wipes their memories, wondering how the two knew where they were. The trio decides to go to Number 12 Grimuald Place to hide. While there, they discover that R.A.B, the mysterious person who stole the real locket of Slytherin that Voldemort turned into a Horcrux, is actually Sirius's brother, Regulus Arcturus Black. Kreacher, the resident house-elf of Grimauld Place, tells the trio that the real locket was in the house, but that it was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher. Harry orders Kreacher to find Mundungus and bring him back. The film cuts to the Ministry of Magic, where Pius Thicknese, a Death Eater, has taken the position of Minister of Magic, and has decreed that all half-blood witches and wizards must be screened to 'see if they truly are of magical descent'. Harry has a dream of Voldemort finding Gregorovich, a foriegn wandmaker. Kreacher returns to Grimuald Place with Mundungus Fletcher, as well as Dobby, a house-elf that Harry freed from the Malfoy family in his second year at Hogwarts. Mundungus tells the trio that he was forced to give the locket to a Ministry woman in order to save himself from being arrested for pawning without a license. It's revealed that the woman is none other than Dolores Umbridge.

The trio use Polyjuice Potion to take on the appearance of three Ministry officials, and sneak into the Ministry to find Umbridge. They end up seperated; Ron having to take care of an angry Yaxley, another Death Eater, Harry to go to Umbridge's office to find the locket, and Hermione to the very courtroom where Umbridge is holding trials for muggle-borns. Harry doesn't find the locket in Umbridge's office, and he meets up with Ron again. Together, they go down to the courtroom, where a large group of Dementors are used to scare the muggle-borns on trial into submission. Umbridge is interrogating a woman who turns out to be the wife of the man that Ron has changed into. Harry, in a fit of rage at Umbridge, stuns her. He quickly retrieves the locket, and the trio and the muggle-born woman, Mary Catermole, evade the Dementors. The trio quickly escapes from the Ministry with Yaxley on their tail.

They suddenly arrive in a forest. Ron has been splinched, and while Hermione tends to his wounds, she tells Harry that they can't go back to Grimuald Place because Yaxley followed them and found out of its' whereabouts. They are now forced to wander the countryside in a tent. After Ron is patched up, the trio attempts a variety of spells to destroy the locket, but despite their best efforts and most destructive spells, the locket remains unscratched. They decide that they will search the countryside for more Horcruxes while taking turns wearing the locket. They deduct that while wearing the locket, the wearer feels much more angry, suspicious, fearful, and overall bad-tempered than they normally do. Ron is affected most particularly, and while wearing the locket he bitterly notices Harry and Hermione spending a lot of time together. The film cuts to Harry holding the snitch Dumbledore left him. Hermione tells him that snitches have flesh memories, meaning the snitch can remember which person caught it and it can only open for that one person.

Hermione is struck by a revelation one night about why Dumbledore left Harry the Sword of Gryffindor. She tells him that the sword is Goblin-made, meaning it does not retain dust, dirt, or scratches, but it does imbibe any and all things that only make it stronger. Because Harry had killed a basilisk in his second year with the sword, the sword is now impregnated with basilisk venom, one of the few rare substances that can destroy a Horcrux. Ron, who is wearing the locket, overhears this conversation and finally snaps, provoking a yelling match with Harry. The fight ends with Ron leaving the two.

Harry and Hermione apparate from the campsite the next day, leaving behind any chance that Ron can find them again. Hermione is particularly saddened by Ron's departure, and Harry notices. One night, while listening to the radio, Harry invites Hermione to a friendly dance to lighten their moods. The next day, Harry is holding the snitch yet again, and this time he places it to his lips. Because he originally caught the snitch by nearly swallowing it, he gets a reaction from it. Five words appear on the snitch's gold covering; "I open at the close."

Harry and Hermione decide to go to Godric's Hollow for two reaons. The first being that it was where Harry's parents died and he wishes to visit their grave. The second being that Bathilda Bagshot, a historian and a friend to the Dumbledore family, lives there and they believe that Dumbledore could have left Gryffindor's Sword with her. They apparate to Godric's Hollow and realize that it's Christmas Eve. Harry and Hermione go to the town's graveyard to search for Harry's parents' grave. Hermione notices on the grave of one 'Ignotus Peverell' the exact same symbol that was inked into her copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" left to her by Dumbledore. Harry finds his parents' graves, and Hermione conjures a wreath of roses for it.

The two then notice that they are being watched by none other than Bathilda Bagshot. They follow her to her house, all the while remaining silent. Once there, Bathilda goes upstairs and Harry follows her, leaving Hermione to investigate downstairs. Hermione notices that Bathilda owns a copy of Rita Skeeter's new book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", and takes it out of curiosity. Harry takes notice of a picture of a young man on the way upstairs. Once upstairs, Bathilda finally speaks to Harry, but in parseltongue. Harry responds, not knowing that it's a trap. Bathilda's body falls away to reveal Nagini to have been controlling her. Nagini attacks Harry and Hermione, hearing the noise, comes upstairs to help. Harry is bitten by the snake, but the two manage to escape.

When Harry awakes, Hermione tell him that in the commotion at Bathilda's, his wand was destroyed. She also reveals to Harry that the picture he saw of a young man is the same picture in "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore". The man is Gellert Grindelwald, a dark wizard from the mid-1900s and a brief friend of Albus Dumbledore's. That night, Harry sits outside on guard when a silver doe-patronus appears to him. He follows it to a small frozen pond. The Sword of Gryffindor is at the bottom. Harry strips down and dives in to retrieve it, but the horcrux around his neck senses the Sword and tries to strangle Harry. Ron suddenly arrives and rescues Harry, as well as retrieving the Sword. Harry uses parseltongue to open the locket so Ron can destroy it. The locket tries to fight back by using fearful apparitions on Ron, including a large smokey monstrosity and spiders. Then it takes the form of Harry and Hermione, who tell Ron what a failure he is. The Harry and Hermione apparition share a passionate kiss, and Ron, enraged, destroys the Horcrux.

They return to the tent, where Hermione grows increasingly angry at Ron for having the audacity to return. Harry and Hermione wonder how Ron found them, and he tells them that the Deluminator that Dumbledore left him was what got him back. He says he heard Hermione's voice coming from it and he clicked it. A small blue light came out and went into his chest where his heart was, and he apparated and arrived in time to see the silver doe.

The trio decides to visit the Lovegood house due to the fact that the symbol Hermione sees in "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" has popped up everywhere, including around Xenophilias Lovegood's neck at Bill and Fleur's wedding. Mr. Lovegood tells them the tale of the Three Brothers and the Deathly Hallows, which are revealed to be three incredibly powerful magical items; The Elder Wand, a wand of immense power that is rumored to be unbeatable, The Ressurection Stone, a stone that can bring back the spirits of those who have died, and The Invisibility Cloak, making the wearer completely invisible. The rumor goes that the person who brings these three items together will become master of death. Xenophilias tries to turn the trio over to the Death Eaters as ransom for his daughter Luna, who they have captured. The trio escape and disapparate magically back to the forest, where a group of Snatchers are waiting to capture them. Hermione magically disfigures Harry's face so he is unrecognizable. They are captured and taken them to Malfoy Manor in order to collect a reward that was set for Harry.

At Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix Lestrange imprisons Harry and Ron in the cellar, where she has also imprisoned Luna Lovegood, the wandmaker Ollivander, and Griphook the Goblin; meanwhile, she violently tortures Hermione to try to find out how they acquired the Sword of Gryffindor, which she had believed to be safe in her vault at Gringotts. Harry has another vision and sees Voldemort finding Grindelwald at the wizarding prison, Nuremgard. Grindelwald tells him that as a result of a long ago duel, Dumbledore is now the master of one of the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand.

Harry, using a magical mirror his godfather Sirius gave him, sees another man's face staring back at him. He begs the person in the mirror for help. Dobby then appears and at Harry's request, rescues Luna and Ollivander and returns to help Harry, Ron, Hermione and Griphook. The group rescue the battered and bloodied Hermione with Dobby's help; Harry wins Draco's want and scoops up two others, including Bellatrix's wand. But, as they dispparate, Bellatrix throws the dagger, which she used to carve the word "mudblood" into Hermione's arm, at Dobby, causing it to sink into his chest, killing him. Harry gives Dobby a proper burial on the beach near Shell Cottage, the home of Bill and Fleur.

The films ends with Voldemort visiting Dumbledore's White Tomb on the islands near Hogwarts, he splits open the coffin and steals the Elder Wand; triumphant he sends green lightning shooting into darks clouds that gather overhead.

To be continued....

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Harry is devastated by Dobby's death, and when he buries him he does so by hand, without using magic. When they all come out to lay Dobby to rest, they thank him for saving their lives.

After the funeral, Harry questions Griphook about the sword, with which he managed to escape. Harry needs Griphook to help him break into Gringotts bank, because he now thinks that another Horcrux is hidden in Bellatrix Lestranges vault. Griphook tells them he'll think about helping them and let them know when he decides.

Harry also questions the wandmaker, Ollivander, asking him if its possible to fix his broken wand. Ollivander cannot fix it. Ollivander does tell him, however, that Voldemort really is seeking the Elder Wand so he can evade death.

Soon after questioning Ollivander, Harry begins to truly understand what hes meant to do. Hes supposed to destroy the Horcruxes and not go after the Elder Wand.

Griphook has finally agreed to help them break into Gringotts. The only hitch is that he wants Gryffindors sword in return. Harry agrees, but inwardly squirms at the thought of his white lie. He will give the sword to Griphook, but he doesnt tell him when.

One night Lupin shows up suddenly and announces that he and Tonks have had a boy. They've named him Ted, and the group gets to celebrate for one night. Lupin asks Harry if hell be a godfather to the baby, and Harry agrees.

Their plan is simple: Go with Griphook, with Hermione disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange in order to access her vault. As Harry stole Bellatrix's wand during their tussle at Malfoy Mansion, they have her wand and even some of her hair for use in the Polyjuice Potion.

When they Apparate into the Leaky Cauldron they're surprised to see how bad Diagon Alley looks. There are many more shops dealing in the Dark Arts, and most of the nice ones have closed down.

Their plan goes reasonably well. Hermione makes a very convincing Bellatrix, and with only a few snags Griphook manages to get them down to her vault. Its guarded by a half-blind dragon, but they get past that obstacle fairly easily thanks to Griphook.

Suddenly things start to fall apart. They're discovered to be imposters and the treasure in the vault starts multiplying every time its touched. Harry manages to spot what they came for: Hufflepuff's cup, which he is sure is a Horcrux. He just manages to get it before They're all crushed to death. Griphook escapes with the sword, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron manage to get back out of the bank on the back of the half-blind dragon.

When the dragon finally gets them down low enough they jump into a lake, somewhere far away from London. Once they've treated their many injuries, they discuss the fact that they lost the sword they so desperately needed to destroy the Horcrux.

Suddenly Harry has a vision of Voldemort, who just found out that they took the golden cup from the vault. His rage is apoplectic. He kills almost everyone around him, and he cant believe Harry knows so much about his past and his Horcruxes. Voldemort now is no longer sure the rest of his Horcruxes are safe and realizes he must go check on all of them immediately to make sure.

As Harry comes to he realizes that the last physical Horcrux, other than the snake Nagini, is at Hogwarts. That is where they must go next, and soon, because Voldemort will be checking to make sure its safe.

As soon as they Apparate into Hogsmeade Village, a scream rends the air, alerting the Death Eaters to their presence. They're taken in by the barkeep of the Hog's Head, who hides them from the Death Eaters and makes up an excuse for the alarm going off. Once he's thrown them off the trail, he closes the door and looks Harry, Ron, and Hermione up and down. Harry suddenly recognizes him as Dumbledore's brother. He finds out that Aberforth is the one who sent Dobby to rescue them when Harry shouted into the mirror.

Aberforth also tells them the truth about Dumbledore's past, and agrees to help them get into Hogwarts. He speaks to the portrait of his dead sister, Ariana. She leaves and brings back none other than Neville Longbottom.

Neville is overjoyed to see them but Harry is horrified at Neville, who looks like he recently was beat almost to death. Neville leads them through an opening behind the portrait, down a long, dark hallway. Its the last secret passageway into Hogwarts. As they walk, Neville fills them in on whats been happening at Hogwarts. Its been horrible, and the three cant believe at how different things are at the school.

When they get to the school, they are surprised to come out in the Room of Requirement. There is a cheering crowd waiting for them, and they're all happy to see their old friends again.

Theres an argument, however. Harry knows that they don't have much time, but everyone wants to help him. He insists they stay behind, and he gets even more panicked when more and more people start pouring in from the Hog's Head. Luna, Dean, Fred, George, Ginny, Lee Jordan, and Cho Chang all come climbing through. Harry, with some urging from Ron and Hermione, agrees to let them help. He figures out that they're looking for Ravenclaw's long lost diadem, a type of tiara she wore.

When Luna takes Harry to the Ravenclaw common room to look at a statue of Rowena Ravenclaw wearing the diadem, they're met by one of the Death Eater professors, Amycus Carrow, who instantly touches the Dark Mark to alert Voldemort that they found Harry.

They stun the Carrows and begin to tell Professor McGonagall what they're up to. They tell her that they must find the lost diadem before Voldemort gets into the castle. McGonagall tells Harry that she and the others will secure the castle against Voldemort as long as they can so that Harry can search for the diadem.

As they're walking through the hall they run into Snape. He and Professor McGonagall duel fiercely with magic so quick that Harry has never seen the like of it. When the other professors show up to help McGonagall, Snape jumps out one of the windows to join Voldemort, who is now just outside the grounds.

The professors immediately begin putting charms and spells all around the castle to hold off Voldemort.

When Harry gets back to the Room of Requirement he's shocked to see that even more people have shown up, including lupin, Kingsley, and Ron's whole family.

All the Death Eaters, the Malfoy's, Bellatrix, Snape, and Voldemort group together in the forest by the castle. All the other death eaters (around 400) take out their wands and destroy Hogwarts magical forcefield. They all Dissaparate, except Bellatrix, Snape, and Voldemort. Snape and Bellatrix conjoin their magic and make the largest dark mark over Hogwarts ever seen. Bellatrix disparates with the rest of death eaters. Voldemort agrees on where to meet, and Snape nods, then Disapparates.

Watching the dark mark from outside, McGonagall informs Flitwick to let all the of age students stay to fight if they wish, but escort the others to Hogsmeade where they can escape to safety.

In the Great Hall, teachers and prefects are sneaking the younger students out of the school before the battle begins.

The Order and the professors have agreed upon a battle plan and start splitting up. Many students who are overage have stayed to fight, and they're all preparing for the battle that will come soon. The air is tense with expectation, and Harry, who is starting to panic, still does not know where to begin looking for the diadem.

As he races through the hallways, he has an idea. Everyone keeps saying the diadem hasn't been seen by anyone in living memory. That does not, however, include ghosts. He hunts down Nick, the Gryffindor ghost, and asks him about it. Nick points him towards the Grey Lady, who is Ravenclaw's ghost, and Harry asks her about the diadem. She tells him that she was Rowena Ravenclaw's own daughter, and that she was the one who stole the diadem from her mother. She also confesses that she revealed the location of the diadem to one other student, Tom Riddle.

Harry runs into Hagrid after talking with the Grey Lady, and suddenly he knows exactly where the diadem is. He realizes he saw it last year in the Room of Requirement, when he went in to hide his Potions book. Its a tiara, on a stone bust, in that junky old room. He can't believe it.

Hermione and Ron sneak into the Chamber of Secrets, where they are attacked by a giant tsunami of Voldemort. They retrive a fang from the almost decayed body of the basilisk and kill the cup. After the "life flashing before their eyes" moment is over, Ron and Hermione lean in, and kiss.

As he's racing to the Room of Requirement he finally finds Ron and Hermione, who had the brilliant idea to go down into the Chamber of Secrets and get some basilisk fangs, which is one of the only other things that can destroy the Horcrux. Hes amazed at their brilliance. Hermione has already destroyed the cup.

The battle has begun and they race even harder to get there. When they finally get the Room of Requirement open, they begin searching for the stone bust on which Harry knows the diadem sits. They're disgusted to find out that Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle and Blaise Zabini are in the room as well.

They begin to duel and Harry just manages to grab the tiara before the piles of junk bury it forever.Blaise was disarmed by Harry and then stunned by Hermione. The room catches on fire from a spell and they manage to get out, saving Malfoy and the stunned Blaise Zabini in the process. Goyle is burned to death by the Fiendfyre.

After they get out, they happily realize the tiara got destroyed in the magical fire, but suddenly Percy and Fred come into view, dueling with two Death Eaters in the hallway. Suddenly the wall is blasted open from the outside, and Fred is killed in the explosion.

Many students (many Quidditch players) fight off death eaters in the Quidditch pitch. The Quidditch pitch is burned down afterwards by death eaters.

A montage of things show: Gryffindor Common Room being broken into, Herbology Greenhouses being destroyed, Centaurs and elves fight death eaters, many ogres and giants destroy whats left of Hogwarts,and Death Eaters start a gigantic fire.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to drag Fred's body out the way, and Harry can't permit himself to grieve. Out of the noisy hall, Voldemort's magnified voice over says if Harry doesn't turn himself in, in one hour, then he will kill every person who sides with Harry, and then he will kill Harry.

Harry decides to act when he sees Lupin and Tonk's bodies being carried in. Hermione tries to stop him, but Harry leaves the great hall. As Harry is racing out, along with many other students running down the grand stair case, he's stopped by Ginny who automatically kisses him. Without another word, she allows him to leave.

Snape and Voldemort stand at the boathouse. Voldemort sends several striking spells to the window at the Great Hall from there. After many "reducto"s, everyone gets out of the Great Hall (with the exception of several bodies (including Fred's) before the Great Hall burst into a flame and caves in.

While they are in there, they hear Snape talking with Voldemort. Voldemort wants to know why the Elder Wand won't work for him like its supposed to. He cant do the extraordinary magic that he thought he'd be able to, and he blames Snape for this. Because Snape is the one who killed Dumbledore, Snape is the wand's true owner. He therefore must kill Snape in order for the wand to work properly, and he does this immediately, with no remorse, setting Nagini on Snape, and his body floats into the water.

Voldemort leaves the boathouse, and a hand (Harry's) grabs Snape and pulls him to the dock. Snape quickly pulls out his wand, and extracts a memory and gives it to Harry. Snape tells Harry "Look at me", then Snape slowly bleeds to death.

A large battle erupts on the Viaduct and Bridge (including a Neville and Bellatrix faceoff). It ends with the bridge collapsing, causing many unknown deaths.

In Snape's (formerly Dumbledore's) office, Harry stuns some Death Eaters wandering around the pensive.

He decides to look at Snape's memory to see what he'd been trying to tell him.

What he sees is so shocking that he doesnt even know how to comprehend it. Snape, it turns out, had been in love with his mother, Lily, since he was a boy. He worshiped her, and even though he lost her to James, Harry's father, he never stopped caring about her. While Harry was at Hogwarts Snape did whatever he could to protect him, and it was all done out of love for his mother.

Harry also sees that last year, after Dumbledore took the ring Horcrux that shriveled his arm, he had a limited amount of time to live in spite of Snapes best efforts to remove the curse. Dumbledore knew that Malfoy had been put to the task of killing him, and asked Snape if he would do it when the time came, since he was dying anyway. Events and memories unfold, and Harry sees that Snape was loyal, that he always was, and that perhaps he even cared for Harry in spite of his best efforts to hide it.

Harry also finds out that a piece of Voldemort's soul is inside him, and has been since Voldemort tried to kill him as an infant. He must die in order for Voldemort to be truly defeated, and Voldemort has to be the one to do it.

Harry's heart seems to beat harder and with more vigor now that he knows he must die. Now that he knows, he feels more alive than ever, and wonders if it will hurt. As he sits in the office coming to grips with the fact that he must die soon, he knows that he won't duck out. Too many people have died for him already.

He can't bear to say goodbye to anyone, so he doesn't. Harry sees Neville on his way out, and tells him that if something happens to him, he must kill Voldemort's snake at all costs.

As he walks across the grounds towards the Forbidden Forest, he's flooded with memories of his time there. Everything is suddenly so precious, and he wishes more than anything that he just had more time to live his life. He realizes suddenly that the Snitch might open now that he is about to die, and when he tries it sure enough, it opens. The Resurrection Stone falls out. When he turns it, his parents, James and Lily, and Sirius, and Lupin all appear, ghostly white in the night. They stay with him as he walks to the middle of the forest to meet his doom.

When he finally finds Voldemort, it only takes a moment. There is a flash of green light, and SLOW MOTION OF HARRY FALLING, WHILE THE "MEMORIES" OF THE DECEASED SURROUND HIM.

When Harry opens his eyes he is alone in a bright mist. The more he looks around the more it looks like hes in some domed room. He thinks that he is in King's Cross. He sees an ugly, small crying child and before he can do anything about it, Dumbledore appears.

Dumbledore tells Harry that he (Harry) is not really dead, and explains to him that because Harry let Voldemort kill him, that piece of Voldemort that was inside Harry is now gone. Harry still doesn't understand why he's not dead, however, and Dumbledore tells him that because Voldemort used Harry's blood to regenerate himself, Lily's protection is now inside both of them. His body keeps her sacrifice alive, and its because of this that Harry is still alive.

Dumbledore also tells Harry about the Hallows, and how all this time Harry has had the magical Cloak from the legend. He explains all about his true past, his duel with Grindelwald, and their quest to obtain all three Hallows for themselves. He is sad and bitter about his past, but is determined not to have any more secrets from Harry.

He also tells Harry that he has a choice to stay or go back, and Harry decides to go back. Before going back, he looks at the child for the last time when Dumbledore tells him to pity the living, not the dead.

When Harry opens his eyes again he's back in the forest, face-down on the ground. He hears Voldemort, who is on the ground as well, telling someone to make sure hes dead. Soft hands touch his face, and a whisper asks if Draco is alive. He whispers that he is, and Narcissa yells back to the crowd that Harry is, indeed, dead. Voldemort makes Hagrid carry him back up to the castle to show everyone Harry's body.

When they reach the grounds all the fighters of Hogwarts come out. Harry is still pretending to be dead, and his heart hurts to hear their grief for him. As Voldemort tortures Neville for trying to defy him, several things happen at once. Centaurs flood the grounds, shooting arrows at the Death Eaters; Grawp comes bursting out of the forest; and Neville manages to slice off Nagini's head with Gryffindors sword, which he pulls out of the Sorting Hat.

A new battle rages on, and Voldemort runs into Hogwarts. Under his cloak, Harry follows him, intent on ending it for good. The battle is fierce, and Harry winds in and out, determined to get to Voldemort.

Many battle in whats left of the great hall. Bellatrix (who also almost kills Ginny) battles Molly Weasly on a table. As Bellatrix taunts, Molly kills Bellatrix and sends her off the end of the table.

In the great battle in the Entrance Courtyard, Harry reveals himself before Voldemort kills another person.

Voldemort confronts him, locks him up, and asks why he isn't dead. Harry explains what Dumbeldore told him.

Voldemort releases Harry, and demands a duel to prove he's the owner of the wand. Harry explains why he is the owner of the wand. Voldemort replies "Only I can live... forever."

They break out into a slow motion duel. spell lock. Many VOICEOVERS from all movies strike while the 1 minute slow motion duel continues. The voice overs end with "Only I can live... forever." and small lighting strikes come from the elder wand, to Harry's wand, then to Voldemort's hand, disarming him.

Voldemort is dead, and Harry is left alive, the true master of the Elder Wand.

After its over Harry wants nothing but to be alone. He sneaks out with Ron and Hermione in order to tell them everything that happened. They go up to Dumbledore's office for one last talk with the Headmaster's portrait, and Harry decides to release the Elder Wand because it causes more trouble than its worth. Dumbledore, it turns out, agrees with him. Before returning the Elder Wand, however, Harry uses it one last time to repair his old broken wand.

19 YEARS LATER Harry and Ginny have arrived at Kings Cross to see their kids off to school. Lily, their daughter, is not quite old enough, but James and Albus are leaving. Its Albus's first year, and he's very nervous that he won't be in Gryffindor like his father. They run into Ron and Hermione, who are also there dropping their kids off. Everything ends happily ever after

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Scarred by his experience at the Ministry of Magic with Voldemort, Harry is reluctant to return to Hogwarts. Dumbledore encourages him to continue, after transporting him to see a former professor, Horace Slughorn, hoping that Slughorn would return to Hogwarts and take Harry under his wing.

Meanwhile, Death Eaters begin to wreak havoc both towards Muggles, destroying the Millennium Bridge, and Wizards, kidnapping the wandmaker Mr. Ollivander and destroying his Diagon Alley shop. Bellatrix Lestrange entreats Severus Snape to enter an Unbreakable Vow with Draco Malfoy's mother, Narcissa, assuring that he will complete the task assigned to Draco should Draco fail and that he will protect him and make sure he doesn't get hurt. Harry, Ron and Hermione, while in Diagon Alley, spot Draco entering Borgin and Burkes and taking part in a ritual with other Death Eaters, and become suspicious of his actions.

At Hogwarts, the school is under tight security to prevent the Death Eaters from entering the school. With Slughorn back to teach Potions, Snape is given Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry and Ron are encouraged by Professor McGonagall to take up Potions now that Slughorn, with lower standards, is teaching the class; however, as neither was expecting to take the course, they have to find textbooks for themselves in the bookcase. Harry's book is annotated with more exact instructions to complete potions, giving him an edge over the other students; he finds that it once belonged to the "Half-Blood Prince", a term Hermione cannot figure out. Meanwhile, Ron becomes the successful Gryffindor's Quidditch goalie, attracting the love of Lavender Brown, much to Hermione's chagrin. Harry is also upset over Ginny's attraction to Dean Thomas. During the Christmas Break while Harry and Ron are at the Burrow, the Death Eaters with Bellatrix in charge come intending to kidnap Harry, but are forced to retreat after they are outnumbered by Order of the Phoenix members. Before they leave they set fire to the Burrow, and the Weasleys are gathered outside the house, leaving Harry regretting the evil that he has brought down upon people he cares about.

Dumbledore reveals to Harry through the Pensieve memories of Tom Riddle (Voldemort's original name)including a false memory from Slughorn, when Riddle asked him about a certain restricted Dark Art. The memory fails to reveal this art, and Dumbledore believes that the key to defeating Voldemort is to learn what Dark Art Riddle asked about, and instructs Harry to further confide himself to Slughorn. Using a Luck potion he won earlier in the school year, Harry is able to bring Slughorn to be intoxicated with Hagrid and convinces the professor in his stupor to give him the true memory. This memory reveals that Riddle inquired about the creation of Horcruxes, devices that store a portion of the creator's soul to allow them to live indefinitely. Dumbledore reveals that Riddle's diary and his mother's ring were two of seven Horcruxes that Riddle had created, and that they must track these down and destroy them to make Voldemort mortal.

Meanwhile, Harry continues to be suspicious of Draco's actions, following him around the school but no success in determining what he seeks. Harry believes Draco to be behind two indirect attempts on Dumbledore's life, one through a cursed necklace that Katie Bell, under an Imperius Curse, was bringing to Dumbledore as a gift, and another through a bottle of poisoned wine that Slughorn, similarly cursed, planned to give to the professor. The latter is discovered accidently when Ron ingests the poison; though he recovers with medical treatment, he unconsciously mumbles Hermione's name in front of Lavender, sending her away crying. After this incident, Harry corners Draco in the toilets and after a short fight casts the Sectumsempra curse from the Half-Blood Prince's book, severely harming Draco. Snape arrives knowing that he let Draco get hurt and that he broke one of the promises and heals him. Ginny convinces Harry to hide the book in the Room of Requirement to prevent him from using it again; there, they discover, unknown to them, a Vanishing Cabinet, which Draco has been attempting to repair, but think nothing of it further. Ginny also reveals her love for Harry, and they kiss after she hides the book.

Dumbledore implores Harry to help him recover another Horcrux, the location of which he recently learned. The two transport themselves to a seaside cliff, and enter a cave where the Horcrux is located. On a small crystalline island, Dumbledore forces Harry to make him drink a mind-altering liquid in order to reveal the Horcrux. While Dumbledore recovers from the liquid, Harry recovers the Horcrux, a small pendant. Harry tries to help Dumbeldore recover, but they are attacked by numerous inferi. Dumbledore recovers in time to set them aflame, and the two return to the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore, still weakened by the trial, instructs Harry to go to get Snape. However, before Harry can go, footsteps are heard, and Dumbledore tells Harry to hide on the lower floor. The footsteps belong to Draco, who prepares to kill Dumbledore, but cannot bring himself to do so. Meanwhile, with the Vanishing Cabinet fixed, Bellatrix and other Death Eaters are able to invade Hogwarts through a similar cabinet at Borgin and Burkes, and join Draco in the tower. Snape silently arrives on the lower floor, indicating to Harry to stay quiet, and then goes upstairs, joining the other Death Eaters. Snape then casts the killing spell Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore, throwing him over the side of the Tower and killing him. Snape, Draco, and the other Death Eaters depart the school, Bellatrix casting the Death Eaters' sign over the school, destroying the Great Hall and setting fire to Hagrid's hut in glee. Harry tries to stop them with the Sectumsempra spell, but Snape deflects it and stuns him. As he departs, he explains to Harry that he is the Half-Blood Prince and the creator of the spell.

Harry returns to the school to find the staff and students mourning over Dumbledore's death. Harry walks over to Dumbledore's body lying in front of them, grieving as Ginny comforts him. When he returns to the late headmaster's office one last time, McGonagall confronts him and asks him to open up to her, but he does not comply and leaves. A portrait of Dumbledore can be seen hanging on a wall behind them.

Harry reveals to Ron and Hermione that the Horcrux they got was a fake, containing a message from an "R.A.B." that stated he had already taken it, but is also seeking to end Voldemort's life. Harry tells his friends that he does not plan to return next year, instead seeking out R.A.B. and the other Horcruxes so that he may put an end to Voldemort; Ron and Hermione remind Harry that they are his friends and will help alongside him in his goal.

harry potter and the Order of Phoenix

Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley Dursley are attacked by two Dementors, but Harry manages to drive the Dementors off with a Patronus charm. Shortly thereafter, the Ministry of Magic detect the act of underage wizardry and attempt to have Harry expelled from Hogwarts immediately, but this is modified to a trial later in the summer. After experiencing horrible nightmares depicting the evil Lord Voldemort's return, Harry is awoken by the arrival of an advance guard of wizards who escort him to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization founded by Dumbledore. It is only now that Harry discovers that under the Ministry's influence the newspaper The Daily Prophet has launched a smear campaign against anyone who claims that Voldemort has returned, leaving Harry feeling isolated and betrayed by the Wizarding community. Harry and the other members of the Order fly to 12 Grimmauld Place, the home of Sirius Black, where they meet with Sirius, Remus, Ron, Hermione and others. Later, Ron and Hermione express concern about Harry's situation with the Ministry.

Harry and Arthur Weasley head to the court where Harry's trial will take place, briefly spotting Lucius Malfoy speaking with the minister on their way. With the help of Dumbledore and Harry's neighbour, Mrs Figg, Harry is cleared of all charges at the Ministry and is allowed to return to Hogwarts. However, during Harry, Ron and Hermione's fifth year at Hogwarts School, the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, a Senior Ministry official who refuses to teach practical magic to her students, as the Ministry fears Dumbledore will organize his own personal wizard army. One day during class, Harry is punished for claiming that Cedric Diggory was killed by Voldemort, which according to the Ministry's official policy is a lie. In Umbridge's office, Harry is forced to write "I must not tell lies" repeatedly as punishment. However, the sentence is magically imprinted on his hand instead, causing scarring. Meanwhile, as Umbridge's control over the school increases, Ron and Hermione aid Harry in forming a secret defence group, calling themselves "Dumbledore's Army" or DA for short. Harry, Ron and Hermione start teaching at Hogwarts, training students in defensive spells to become part of the Army. Draco Malfoy and other Slytherin students are then recruited by Umbridge to try to uncover the secretive group, creating the Inquisitorial Squad. Meanwhile, Harry officially begins a relationship with Cho, as they kiss one day after training. In an attempt to tighten her oppressive grip on Hogwarts, Umbridge dismisses Professor Sybill Trelawney and tries to have her banished from Hogwarts, which is only prevented after Dumbledore's intervention.

Harry's nightmares continue, including a dangerous attack upon Arthur Weasley in the Department of Mysteries involving Nagini, Lord Voldermort's snake, which happens to turn true. Harry's anger starts to get out of control, as his mental connection to Voldemort grows stronger. Fearing Voldemort will exploit his connection with Harry, Dumbledore immediately instructs Professor Snape to give Harry a crash course on Occlumency lessons in an attempt to block Harry's mind from the Dark Lord's influence.

Meanwhile, Bellatrix Lestrange escapes from Azkaban along with other Death Eaters after one of the prison walls is damaged by lightning flashes. At Hogwarts, Umbridge, Filch and her loyal Inquisitorial Squad, uncover Dumbledore's Army after interrogating one of the students, Cho Chang for whom Harry had developed intense feelings. Dumbledore is questioned and makes an impressive escape as Fudge orders his arrest. With Dumbledore gone, Umbridge becomes the new Headmistress, and her sinister dominance over the school continues. Later, Hagrid introduces Harry, Ron and Hermione to his half-brother giant, Grawp. Later, Harry reverses Snape's spell by glimpsing into Snape's mind. It is then that Harry learns that Harry's father used to bully Snape when they were students at Hogwarts, which appears to be the real cause behind Snape's resentment towards Harry. Meanwhile the Weasley twins, Fred and George formulate a plan of their own.

During an O.W.L. exam, the Weasley twins execute their plan, launching a firework display in the great hall causing chaos for Umbridge, Fudge and the students of Slytherin house. As the students cheer joyously outside, Harry suffers a vision of Sirius trapped within the bowels of the Ministry being interrogated about the Order. Harry, Ron, and Hermione rush to search for Sirius, but Umbridge, soon after, catches the trio attempting to use the Floo Network, and begins interrogating Harry. She calls for Professor Snape to bring Veritaserum for use during her interrogation, as she has for all of her previous interrogations, but Snape tells her that the supply has been exhausted. Hermione then tricks Umbridge into entering the Forbidden Forest along with Harry and her in search of a faux weapon, really leading her to the hiding place of Grawp who has since freed himself from the tree he was latched to, when a herd of centaurs, who have their own issues with the Ministry, emerge and carry the Headmistress into the darkness. Hermione and Harry head back to Hogwarts to find Ron and other DA members, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley, the group decided to fly to London by way of the Thestrals (winged horse-like magical creatures) to the Department of Mysteries of London City in an attempt to save Sirius.

The six enter the Department of Mysteries, where they uncover a prophecy involving Harry and Voldemort, but are soon ambushed by Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius's deranged cousin. After a brief battle and a failed escape attempt, the Death Eaters, manage to take Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Ginny as hostages threatening to kill them if Harry does not hand over the prophecy. Sirius appears, with the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, and attacks the Death Eaters causing Lucius to drop the prophecy, which then shatters. A battle erupts as the Death Eaters try to stop the students from escaping, resulting in Sirius's death at Bellatrix's hand. Back in the Atrium, Harry corners Bellatrix, where he struggles with his desire to enact the Cruciatus curse. Voldemort himself appears, ready to kill Harry when Dumbledore emerges to face his battle against Voldemort.

A brief but furious duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore takes place, in which Bellatrix escapes through the Floo Network. When Voldemort disappears, and the battle seems over, Harry suddenly finds himself possessed by Voldemort-- recalling images of his past, of his family and his friendsbut throws off Voldemort's influence, stating that he is stronger than Voldermort through his friends and his ability to love. Ministry officials, including Fudge, hastily arrive via the Floo Network moments before Voldemort disappears.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Ministry is forced to end their smear campaign and Umbridge is removed from Hogwarts, awaiting a formal investigation. Dumbledore explains that he had attempted to distance himself from Harry all year, hoping it would lessen the risk of Voldemort discovering and using the connection between the two. While the students head home from Hogwarts at the end of the academic year, Harry tells his friends that they have one thing Voldemort does not: love, a power worth fighting for.
