10 God-Awful Scenes In Otherwise Perfect Movies
1. Voldemort And Harry's Weird Face-Merging Moment - The Deathly Hallows: Part II
After seven whole movies of wizarding adventures and twists and turns, Harry Potter and Voldemort's inevitable final battle was always destined to be something that had the potential to make or break The Deathly Hallows: Part II.
And for the most part, this climactic battle between the wizarding world's big bad and The Boy Who Lived actually managed to live up to expectations, with Ralph Fiennes' despicable Dark Lord pushing Potter to his absolute limit as our heroes threw everything they had at him and his Death Eaters.
But that being said, there was one rather unexpectedly comical chunk of CGI chaos thrown into the Battle of Hogwarts. Your writer is, of course, talking about the particularly surreal visual of Harry and Voldemort's faces being merged together as the two fly around the war zone mid-duel.
It's not just the sole image of Daniel Radcliffe's face being oddly digitally combined with the snake-like Voldemort's that sticks out for all the wrong reasons either, the entire smoky grappling match through the air is incredibly cartoonish and zaps a lot of the intensity out of this showdown for the ages.
Things do eventually get back on track by the time they crash back into the courtyard. However, you'd be lying if you said these few seconds of bizarre digital wrestling didn't briefly pull you out of the magic that was this otherwise deeply satisfying Potter finale.
