Welcome to “Friday Favorites” which highlight some of my favorite movie-related things.
As I’ve said before, I have a hard time writing about Harry Potter. It’s something that’s so personal for me that I’m unable to separate my emotions enough to talk about the things that mean so much to me, much less do a full on analysis. In spite of that, however, there are some things I can’t resist bringing up, one of which is this scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (starting at 1:10, with the Piertotem Locomotor as just a bonus):
“Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.”

“I told you!” Ron hissed at Hermione as she stared down at the article. “I told you not to annoy Rita Skeeter! She’s made you out to be some sort of — of scarlet woman!”
Hermione stopped looking astonished and snorted with laughter. “Scarlet woman?” she repeated, shaking with suppressed giggles as she looked around at Ron.
“It’s what my mum calls them,” Ron muttered, his ears going red.

“Oh for heaven’s sake!” Hermione cried. “Listen to me, all of you! You’ve got just as much right as wizards to be unhappy! You’ve got the right to wages and holidays and proper clothes, you don’t have to do everything you’re told — look at Dobby!”
“Miss will please keep Dobby out of this,” Dobby mumbled, looking scared.
