INT. STAIRS, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
HARRY comes down the stairs with his bag. Just as he
reaches the bottom floor, there is a loud "ROAR" from
behind the house. He puts the bag down, draws his wand
and walks cautiously into the kitchen.
INT. KITCHEN, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
HARRY relaxes when, through the back window, he sees
RUBEUS HAGRID dismounting from an enormous motorcycle
with an attached sidecar. Beside him are two thestrals —
BILL WEASLEY and FLEUR DELACOUR dismounting from one, and
KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT and HERMIONE GRANGER from the other.
Around them, RON, FRED, GEORGE, and ARTHUR WEASLEY, as
well as ALASTOR MOODY (holding an enormous sack),
NYMPHADORA TONKS, REMUS LUPIN, and MUNDUNGUS FLETCHER are
dismounting from brooms. Wrenching open the back door,
HARRY hurtles into their midst.
EXT. BACK GARDEN, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
HERMIONE flings her arms around HARRY, and RON claps him
on the back.
EVERYONE
(ad lib)
Heya, Harry! How have you been?
HAGRID
All righ', Harry? Ready fer the
off?
HARRY
Definitely. But I wasn't expecting
this many of you!
MOODY
Let's get undercover before we
talk you through the plan.
INT. KITCHEN, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
All fourteen of them are huddled in the small kitchen.
BILL and FLEUR have their arms around each other, as do
LUPIN and TONKS.
KINGSLEY
We think that Voldemort is using
his spies in the Ministry to track
all magical activity in this
house. If we cast a spell to get
you out, he may be able to follow
you. We have no choice but to take
you out in the open.
TONKS
You'll be going to my parents'
house. From there, you can use a
Portkey to the Burrow.
HARRY
But won't it be sort of obvious
where I'm going when fourteen of
us fly there?
MOODY
Ah, I forgot to mention the key
point. Fourteen of us won't be
flying there. There will be seven
Harry Potters moving through the
skies tonight, each heading for a
different safe house.
From inside his cloak, he withdraws a flask of Polyjuice
Potion.
MOODY (cont'd)
All we need is some of your hair.
INT. KITCHEN, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER
FRED and GEORGE raise their glasses of potion to each
other in a toast.
FRED & GEORGE
To Harry!
They drink. At once, their features begin to bubble and
distort like hot wax until they looked just like Harry
Potter.
FRED & GEORGE (cont'd)
Wow, we're identical!
FLEUR (O.S.)
Bah!
The camera pans to the side to reveal a third Harry
Potter in FLEUR's dress and speaking with her voice,
examining his reflection in a handheld mirror.
FLEUR (cont'd)
I'm 'ideous!
The camera pulls away to reveal six Harry Potters
standing side by side, looking awkward in clothes that no
longer fit. MOODY unties the sack, and clothes spill out.
MOODY
Get changed, quickly. Don't forget
the glasses.
MOODY turns to the real HARRY.
MOODY (cont'd)
We think the Death Eaters will
expect you to be on a broom,
protected by a skilled Auror.
Instead, you'll be on the bike
with Hagrid.
HAGRID
That all righ'?
HARRY
(hesitating)
That's great.
He smiles nervously.
EXT. BACK GARDEN, DURSLEYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
There is a great roar from the motorcycle as it soars
upward, along with the two thestrals and eight brooms.
HAGRID is on the motorcycle, and HARRY is in the sidecar.
The six fake Harrys are now completely indistinguishable
from the real one, right down to their clothes and
glasses. Two of the fake Harrys are on thestrals — one
with BILL and one with KINGSLEY. The other four fake
Harrys and their companions are on brooms. They all climb
into the sky, where they find themselves surrounded by
about thirty hooded Death Eaters on brooms.
HAGRID
Hold on tight!
Rolling over to one side, the motorcycle swoops under and
out of the circle, pursued by four of the Death Eaters.
Meanwhile, the rest of the circle has broken apart, each
of the fake Harrys and their companions flying in a
different direction with Death Eaters hot on their
trails. Bright flashes of red and green light streak
through the night sky.
The focus switches between different groups of pursuers
and pursued before settling on MOODY and a fake Harry,
who is in fact MUNDUNGUS. They have shaken off all but
one of their pursuers, who shoots a curse that narrowly
misses MUNDUNGUS. MOODY fires back a spell that knocks
the Death Eater off his broom.
MUNDUNGUS
That was close! I knew I shouldn't
have come along.
MOODY
You signed on, Mundungus. It's too
late to turn back now.
MUNDUNGUS
Why did I have to be Harry? Why
couldn't I be a protector?
MOODY
The Death Eaters will be aiming to
capture Potter, not kill him.
Voldemort wants to do that
himself. You're in less danger
than I am.
Suddenly, VOLDEMORT is behind them, wand at the ready,
flying without a broomstick. MUNDUNGUS squeals in panic
and breaks away from MOODY's side.
MOODY (cont'd)
No, you spineless worm!
VOLDEMORT aims his wand at MOODY.
VOLDEMORT
Avada Kedavra!
A jet of green light hits MOODY full in the face, and he
is dead even before he falls off his broom. With a loud
"CRACK", VOLDEMORT disappears. Cut to another part of the
sky, where VOLDEMORT reappears behind a thestral carrying
KINGSLEY and a fake Harry. VOLDEMORT fires a string of
curses at KINGSLEY and his companion, but the thestral
successfully evades them.
The camera pans to yet another section of the sky, where
HAGRID and the real HARRY are still pursued, and shot at,
by four Death Eaters.
HAGRID
This'll do for 'em!
He slams his whole hand onto a purple button beside the
speedometer.
Dragon fire bursts from the exhaust, and the motorbike
shoots forward. The Death Eaters swerve out of sight to
avoid the deadly trail of flame. The sidecar starts to
sway ominously, its metal connections to the bike
splintering with the force of acceleration. HAGRID pulls
out his umbrella from inside his jacket pocket.
HAGRID (cont'd)
I'm on it, Harry!
HAGRID aims between the bike and the sidecar.
HAGRID (cont'd)
Reparo!
There is a deafening "BANG", and the sidecar breaks away
from the bike completely. The sidecar with HARRY in it
speeds forward momentarily, then begins to plummet. HARRY
points his wand at the sidecar.
HARRY
Wingardium Leviosa!
The sidecar rises like a cork, unsteerable but airborne.
HAGRID
I'm comin', Harry!
HAGRID reaches the sidecar as it begins to fall in
earnest. His huge hand seizes the back of HARRY's robes,
hoisting HARRY out of the falling sidecar and onto the
motorbike's seat, back-to-back with HAGRID.
Curses streak past them; two of the Death Eaters have
caught up with them. HARRY points his wand at the nearer
of the two.
HARRY
Expelliarmus!
The Death Eater's wand flies out of his hand.
OTHER DEATH EATER
That's him, it's the real one!
The two Death Eaters fall back and disappear from view.
HAGRID
Harry, what's happening?
HARRY
I don't know!
HARRY clambers around on the seat to face forward and
seizes hold of the back of HAGRID's jacket.
It is the calm before the storm. Suddenly, HARRY touches
his scar in pain. Moments later, VOLDEMORT swoops in
front of the motorcycle. HAGRID lets out a bellow of fear
and steers the bike into a vertical dive. There is a
"BANG" as a spell hits the vehicle, and sparks shoot out
from the engine. The motorbike spirals through the air,
completely out of control.
A Death Eater appears beside them. With a shout, HAGRID
launches himself off the bike at the Death Eater, and
they both fall toward the ground, their combined weight
too much for the broomstick. HARRY is still clutching his
scar with his wand-free hand, the pain now forcing his
eyes shut. VOLDEMORT is practically on top of him by now.
VOLDEMORT
Avada —
HARRY's wand hand suddenly shoots upwards as if pulled
abruptly by a string, and a spurt of golden fire erupts
from HARRY's wand and engulfs VOLDEMORT's wand. The
latter shatters.
VOLDEMORT (cont'd)
No!
HARRY and the motorbike fall through what looks like a
protective bubble around a house. VOLDEMORT is unable to
enter the bubble; toward him, it behaves in a springy
manner, like a balloon.
EXT. TED'S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER
HARRY opens his eyes, the pain in his scar seeming to be
gone. Looking down, he sees HAGRID spread-eagled on the
ground below him. He pulls hard at the handlebars and
smashes into a muddy pond.
FADE TO BLACK.
