10 Unintentionally Funny Moments In Harry Potter
2. Voldemort’s Awkward Laugh – The Deathly Hallows Part 2
The second part of The Deathly Hallows is regarded by many as one of the best entries in the Harry Potter series. As great as the majority of the film is, Ralph Fiennes’ performance is very strange at times.
After announcing to the surrounding crowd that ‘Harry Potter is dead!’, Voldemort produces a bizarre laugh. Indeed, when watching this scene for the first time, such a laugh is disconcerting more than amusing. But with repeated viewings, this moment becomes very funny.
