The Golden Trio have always overcome great odds to save the day throughout the series, therefore it's a heart wrenching moment when the insecure Ron Weasley ultimately decides to abandon his friends during their seemingly impossible mission to find and destroy Horcruxes.
The scene is startlingly raw, with all three leads giving great performances, especially Rupert Grint, whose anger at Harry is partly justified due to the hopelessness and desperation of the situation.

Three inseparable best friends for the majority of the previous five movies suddenly become two and for a moment it is easy to believe that this really is the end of an era for the characters.
