Warner Bros.

It's really convenient how many times people in the Wizarding World forget magic or skills they've shown previously for the sake of increasing the story's drama.

Instead, the group decide to try and run away and are quickly captured, once more proving how terrible and unprepared they were for the job of hunting Horcruxes.
