Couple of more things once a wizard or witch turns 17 they can do magic outside of school. That's the "trace" they were talking about. It's why they needed to all turn into Harry cause he hadn't turned 17 yet and disapparte like they all could.

Interesting makes so much sense about the name Voldemort now!! Well it sad mad eye doesn’t get a more heroic end in either the movie or book! Yes can see the 1 movie would have been 3hrs+ if it wasn’t split! We’re actually starting to read the books now!

Yeah, there’s a deleted scene capturing this sentiment too ... I really wish the latest home releases of the series included all finished deleted scenes. There are YouTube compilations of deleted scenes and some of them (this especially) are pretty important for context and fleshing out character development.

In the book there's a tender moment between Harry and Dudley (as tender as any moment between them could be after almost 17 years) when Dudley tells Harry he doesn't think Harry is a waste.

While I think some questions were answered on YouTube, it’s harder to ensure spoilers are avoided there. I’m sure I’m missing some of your questions but to answer some: - Hermoine casts Obliviate on her parents (and they take a trip to Australia in the books) to protect them as the Death Eaters could come looking. - The Death Eaters find the trio in that London coffee shop because one of them said “Voldemort”. After the ministry fell, it was made that saying his name could be tracked. It’s why everyone begins saying “You know who” again. - Mad Eye doesn’t get a “better” death in the books either. I never knew why but then again, while he’s a great character in the books, I think Brenden Gleeson’s performance made him even more memorable so it feels that much more unfair in the films. - Kingsley sends the warning at the wedding - Of course, there’s financial gain for WB to split the last book but although some scenes in this film may feel stretched (the timeline is months and months in the book), if they had done only one film, certain subplots would have needed to be cut in order to get a film anywhere near even 3 hours which is about as long as film companies wanted to make films back when we were all allowed out to see them (you want to be able to show them as many times in one day as possible, especially as so much of a film’s earnings are in the opening week. Keep up the great work guys!
