HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
Fan screenplay by Wui-Ming Gan, based on the novel by J. K. Rowling
Chapter 3: Fallen Warrior
TED (V.O.) Harry.
HARRY (V.O.) Hagrid?
FADE IN:
INT. LIVING ROOM, TED'S HOUSE - NIGHT
HARRY opens his eyes. He is lying on a sofa. TED TONKS is standing in front of him, watching him anxiously.
TED Hagrid's fine, son. How are you feeling?
HARRY sits up quickly.
HARRY Voldemort's coming. He was right there —
TED Easy, now. You're safe here, at least for the moment. They can't get within a hundred yards of the place. I'm Ted Tonks, by the way — Dora's father.
HARRY Tonks, I mean Dora, is she...
TED Dora's all right. She just sent word.
A door opens, and HAGRID squeezes through it, limping but alive.
HAGRID Harry!
Knocking over two delicate tables, he covers the floor between them in two strides and pulls HARRY into a hug. TED gestures to a hairbrush on a table.
TED The Portkey's right there, if you're ready to take it.
HARRY Yeah. Thanks for everything.
HARRY and HAGRID each place a finger on the hairbrush, and a moment later, they seem to jerk upward, and their surroundings are a blur. Finally, they come to a stop...
EXT. LIVING ROOM, THE BURROW - NIGHT
HARRY and HAGRID arrive in front of a sea of people. Before anyone else has the chance to greet him, LUPIN leaps forward and grabs HARRY.
LUPIN Where and under what circumstances did I first meet Harry Potter?
HARRY Um... on the train to Hogwarts. You saved me from the dementor.
LUPIN releases HARRY.
LUPIN I'm sorry, Harry, but I had to check.
HARRY surveys the people in the living room. All the fake Harrys are now looking like their real selves again. One of GEORGE's ears is missing; in its place is a clean, gaping hole.
HARRY George, your ear —
GEORGE I'll survive, Harry. I wish I could say the same about everyone
BILL Mad-Eye's dead.
TONKS You-Know-Who acted exactly as Mad Eye expected him to. He chased Mad Eye first, and when Mundungus gave them away he switched to Kingsley.
HARRY And then he came for me. They seemed to recognize me, I don't know how —
HAGRID Harry Disarmed a Death Eater.
LUPIN Harry, the time for Disarming is past! Voldemort is trying to kill you! At least Stun if you're not prepared to kill!
HARRY We were hundreds of feet up! If I Stunned them, they'd have fallen and died, same as if I killed them!
LUPIN You were under attack, Harry. You gave yourself away by not attacking back.
HARRY I won't blast people out of my way just because they're there. That's Voldemort's job.
There is an uncomfortable silence.
HAGRID Wait till it gets out yeh did it again, Harry! Fought him off when he was right on top of yeh!
HARRY It wasn't me. My wand acted of its own accord.
HERMIONE You mean you reacted instinctively.
HARRY No. The bike was falling, I couldn't have told you where Voldemort was, but my wand shot a spell at him. It wasn't even a spell I knew.
MRS. WEASLEY Often, when you're in a pressured situation, you can produce magic you never dreamed of. Small children —
HARRY It wasn't like that!
FADE TO:
INT. MALFOY MANOR - NIGHT
The camera moves through the house. There is nobody in sight, but we hear voices not too far away:
OLLIVANDER (O.S.) I told you, Potter's wand shared a twin core with your wand. That's why your wands connected when you tried to kill him in the graveyard two years ago.
VOLDEMORT (O.S.) You told me the problem would be solved by using a different wand! The wand I used tonight belonged to Lucius. Why was it destroyed?
OLLIVANDER (O.S.) I don't know! (screams) Perhaps, when your wands connected in the graveyard, his wand imbibed some of your power. Perhaps it recognized you tonight, and regurgitated some of your own magic against Lucius's wand.
We have moved into the cellar, and as the camera pans across the room, we see OLLIVANDER lying in rags upon the stone floor, writhing in agony. Before him, with a wand pointed at him, stands VOLDEMORT.
VOLDEMORT You see my problem. I must kill Harry Potter, but all of my attempts have been thwarted. There is something you're not telling me.
OLLIVANDER No... please... I beg you...
VOLDEMORT Crucio!
OLLIVANDER's scream is even more horrible and drawn-out this time.
