HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 1
Hermione Granger makes her parents forget her and the Dursleys leave their home. Both actions are taken in a effort to protect them from Voldemort. The use of six decoy Harrys, created through use of polyjuice potion, to get him to a safe location results in the death of ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody as they are attacked by Death Eaters, since Snape has betrayed the plan to Voldemort. Rufus Scrimgeour arrives at the Weasley’s house and reads Dumbledore’s will. The wizard gave Ron his deluminator, Hermione his copy of The Tales of Beadle the Bard and to Harry he gave two items: the first snitch he caught at Hogwarts and the sword of Gryffindor. All the legacies are handed over, except for the sword, which is lost. At the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacore, Harry learns that Bathilda Bagshot, a friend of Dumbledore lives in Godric’s Hollow, the village where both his father and Dumbledore were from. Voldemort’s followers take over the Ministry of Magic and the wedding guests have to flee. Harry, Ron and Hermione disaparate to London. After being attacked by death eaters, they go to 12 Grimauld Place. There they learn that the locket that did not contain a horcrux, but a note signed R.A.B. was owned by Regulus Black. They remember that they had seen an identical locket in the house before, which they deduce must be the one with the real horcrux. Harry learns from the house elf, Kreacher, that Mundungus Fletcher had stolen the locket. On August 2, 1997 [41:50 to 45:42] Kreacher is sent to find Mundungus Fletcher. They learn that Mundungus sold the locket to Delores Umbridge. Using polyjuice potion to disguise themselves, the three infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and get the locket. Ron is injured in their escape and they cannot destroy the locket, no matter what they try. While the three are on the move from place to place Harry has a dream about a powerful wand. Ron becomes discouraged and leaves them. Harry and Hermione visit Bathilda Bagshot in Godric’s Hollow, whom Harry thinks might have the sword of Gryffindor. Instead they are attacked by Voldemort’s snake, Nagini and barely escape. At their next campsite Harry sees a doe patronus and follows it. It leads him to a pool where the sword of Gryffindor is on the bottom. He almost drowns trying to get it, but Ron appears and saves him. Ron uses the sword to destroy the horcrux. Ron tells how the deluminator led him to Harry and Hermione. The trio visit Xenophilius Lovegood and learn about the Deathly Hallows, three very powerful magical items. They are a cloak of invisibility, the resurrection stone, which can bring people back from death and the elder wand, which is unbeatable. They are captured by death eaters and taken to Malfoy manor where they find Luna Lovegood, Ollivander and Griphook imprisoned. Bellatrix Le Strange tortures Hermione, but the house elf Dobby appears. With his help everyone escapes, after Harry disarms Draco Malfoy. However, Dobby is killed. Voldemort takes the Elder wand from Dumbledore’s tomb.
