12 Dumbest Decisions In Harry Potter Movies

1. Voldemort Didn't Check For A Pulse

If you knew that there was pretty much one person in the world who could kill you and you'd just killed him and were about to parade his body in front of his supporters, you'd probably check he was dead, wouldn't you? You know, particularly if he'd survived a Killing Curse once before in mysterious circumstances...

But that sort of logic clearly isn't for Lord Voldemort, who chooses to ignore the obvious benefits of checking if Harry is dead after their meeting in the clearing in the Forbidden Forest and instead just sips a big cup of his own ego wine and goes to rub his victory in to his enemies.

It would have taken seconds to discover that Harry was alive and Voldemort could have done something more to kill Harry properly, or at least run away from his seemingly immortal foe. It's just stupid.
