10 Most Satisfying Harry Potter Movie Moments
3. Molly Kills Bellatrix (The Deathly Hallows Part 2)
With the possible exception of Professor Umbridge, Bellatrix Lestrange is the most hated Harry Potter character. She delights in causing pain, and her devotion to the Dark Lord is unparalleled.
During the closing stages of the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix is wrapped up in a duel against Ginny. Molly Weasley, determined to save her daughter from a terrible fate, steps up to face the Death Eater. Bellatrix’s cackle soon turns to a look of discomfort as she struggles to keep her ground, and before long, Molly’s deadly spell finds its mark.
Watching Bellatrix burst into pieces is a terrific moment. Ever since The Order of the Phoenix, she’s been a sadistic irritant, and Molly’s triumph – though unexpected – is the perfect end for this twisted Death Eater. In the previous wizarding war, Molly lost both her brothers to the Death Eaters, so killing Voldemort’s most devoted servant is the ultimate revenge.
It’s just a shame the fight couldn’t have gone on for longer, but what we do get is still immensely satisfying.
