Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
Synopsis
Minister Rufus Scrimgeour addresses the wizarding media stating that the Ministry of Magic will remain strong as Lord Voldemort gains power throughout the Wizarding and Muggle worlds. Meanwhile Harry is seen when the Dursleys go into hiding and Hermione, using a spell, blanks her parents' minds, erasing everything they know about her. Later on Severus Snape arrives at Malfoy Manor to inform Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters of Harry's departure from No. 4 Privet Drive. Voldemort commandeers Lucius Malfoy's wand, as Voldemort's own wand cannot be used to kill Harry. Meanwhile, the Order of the Phoenix arrive at Privet Drive and escort Harry to safety using Polyjuice Potion to create six decoy Harrys. During their flight to the Burrow they are ambushed by Death Eaters, resulting in the deaths of Mad-Eye Moody and Hedwig. Voldemort attempts to kill Harry with Malfoy's wand, but fails. At the Burrow, Harry has a vision of Ollivander being tormented by Voldemort, who claims that the wand-maker had lied to him by informing him of the only way to kill Harry: obtaining another's wand.
Scrimgeour arrives at the Burrow and distributes items from Albus Dumbledore's will to Ron, Hermione and Harry. Ron receives Dumbledore's Deluminator; Hermione, The Tales of Beedle the Bard; and Harry is given the first Golden Snitch he caught at his first Quidditch game at Hogwarts. It's revealed that Harry was also willed to receive the Sword of Godric Gryffindor. However, Scrimgeour states that the sword is an important historical artifact, is not eligible to be given away, and that it had disappeared.
Later, the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour is disrupted by Death Eaters, who have infiltrated the Ministry and are using its authority to persecute Muggle-born witches and wizards. Before the disruption, Harry speaks to Elphias Doge and Ron's great-aunt Muriel about what Doge wrote in The Daily Prophet about Dumbledore, and Harry learns that he has a brother named Aberforth and a sister named Ariana. Muriel informs Harry of Bathilda Bagshot (who currently lives in Godric's Hollow), a celebrated magical historian who knew the Dumbledores well and may have known about Sword of Godric Gryffindor. The trio disapparate to London and find sanctuary at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. There they discover that the "R.A.B." from the false Horcrux locket is Regulus Arcturus Black, the younger brother of Sirius Black. From Kreacher, the Black's house-elf, they learn that Mundungus Fletcher stole the real locket. Kreacher and Dobby apprehend Fletcher, who reveals that the locket is in the possession of Dolores Umbridge. Under the disguise of Polyjuice Potion, the trio infiltrate the Ministry and successfully retrieve the locket, narrowly escaping into the Forest of Dean, but revealing it to Yaxley and thus losing 12 Grimmauld Place.
Unable to destroy the Horcrux, they take turns wearing it in order to dilute its negative psychological effects. Harry sees a vision of Voldemort interrogating Gregorovitch, a renowned wand-maker who claims that a teenage boy had once stolen the legendary Elder Wand from his shop. Voldemort then begins a search for the thief. While Ron wears the locket, he is overcome with the suspicion that Harry and Hermione are forming a romantic relationship. As a result, under the mistaken assumption that Hermione has rejected him, he abandons them in anger. Harry and Hermione then visit Godric's Hollow where they seek Bathilda Bagshot, the historian who may have the Sword of Gryffindor, which they believe will destroy Horcruxes. However, they are instead cornered by Voldemort's snake, Nagini, and barely escape. Harry's wand is broken. Hermione identifies the mysterious thief seen in Harry's vision as Gellert Grindelwald.
When evening falls, Harry sees a doe patronus which leads him to a frozen pond. Gryffindor's sword is beneath the ice. Harry enters the pool through the ice to reach the sword. The locket around his neck attempts to strangle him, but Ron returns to rescue him. Ron eventually overcomes the locket's power, smashing it with the sword.
The trio then visit Xenophilius Lovegood to learn about a symbol seen several times on their journey. As explained in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, they learn that the symbol represents the quest for the Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility. With these three items in one's possession, one is virtually invincible. Lovegood betrays them to the Death Eaters in an effort to have his kidnapped daughter returned. At the Forest of Dean, Harry envisions Voldemort learning from Grindelwald that the Elder Wand lies with Dumbledore. The trio are captured by Snatchers and taken to Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix Lestrange imprisons Harry and Ron in a cellar in which they discover Luna, Ollivander, and Griphook the goblin. She tortures Hermione for information on how they found the sword of Gryffindor, which was supposedly in her vault at Gringotts (she uses a knife to carve "Mudblood" on Hermione's arm). After Dobby apparates to save them, a short battle ensues, and Harry duels with Draco and defeats him. Dobby is killed by Bellatrix as the protagonists escape to Shell Cottage. As Harry mourns the loss of his friend, Voldemort breaks into Dumbledore's tomb and takes the Elder Wand.
