13 Movie Moments That Surprised The Hell Out Of The Audience
11. It's The Little Things That Matter - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part I
After Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) gets into his Horcrux-fueled snit and storms off into the night, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are left alone; the former is upset at the lost of his best mate, but Hermione is truly distraught. Shes sitting there, moodily staring at nothing, listening aimlessly to Rons radio as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds plays Oh, Children. Harry gets up and walks over to her, removes the Horcrux from around her neck and sets it aside, and then, taking her hands, he starts to move them in cadence with the song. She looks slightly exasperated, but soon mellows out and even giggles a bit as Harry attempts - badly - to dance, but as the song ends, her expression returns to sorrow, and she drops Harrys hands and turns away. Of all the scenes in the film, that probably was the most controversial among the Potter faithful. Its been established in the books and films that Harry and Hermiones feelings for each other are more sibling-like than anything else, but this little charming scene set off a firestorm in the Twitterverse, blogosphere and Facebook domain, with a lot of people calling it names bordering on the sacrilegious. Harry realized that the enormity of losing Ron was weighing down on both of them, and the emotional draining power of the Horcrux wasnt helping either of them deal with it very well. And crucially, since series author J.K. Rowling was an executive producer of the film, the scene couldnt have happened without her blessing, and for the complainers, it becomes a case of hit the next chapter button.
