10 Most Skippable Harry Potter Movie Scenes

6. Harry And Voldemort Fight In The Clocktower - The Deathly Hallows: Part 2

The second part of The Deathly Hallows is packed with great moments, and in the final minutes of the movie, Harry has to fight his archnemesis one last time.

For whatever reason, Voldemort occasionally forgets he’s a wizard during this encounter. There are several moments when Harry appears to be finished, and rather than casting a deadly spell, the Dark Lord resorts to Muggle tactics like slapping, kicking, and strangulation.

Harry, meanwhile, decides to grab his nemesis by the neck and jump off the tower. This is a ludicrous tactic given Voldemort can fly but Harry can’t. For the convenience of the plot, Harry’s mistake isn’t fatal, but it’s still a laughably stupid decision.

Thankfully, Voldemort's ultimate downfall is much more satisfactory – the music is superb. So, next time you decide to re-watch The Deathly Hallows, you'd be wise to skip the Clocktower fight and jump straight to the good stuff.
