HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
Fan screenplay by Wui-Ming Gan, based on the novel by J. K. Rowling
Chapter 10: Godric's Hollow
INT. ROOM OF REQUIREMENT, HOGWARTS - NIGHT
The room is filled with students. NEVILLE's face is
swollen and scarred. He is speaking to GINNY.
NEVILLE
We can't hide in here forever! I'm
telling you, we need to stand up
against Snape and the Carrows —
GINNY
And look where that's gotten you!
You've seen — hell, you've felt
what they're capable of. After all
the things we've done, their next
punishment just might kill us!
The door opens and SEAMUS hurries in with a group of
students, and a sack in his hand.
SEAMUS
I was able to steal some food from
the kitchen, but it won't be
enough for all of us. And I ran
into these kids. They're in
trouble with the Carrows, that's
why I brought them here.
NEVILLE
(to GINNY)
Look around you! We're starving,
and there's barely any space to
breathe. The room isn't big enough
—
There is a grinding sound, and the walls of the room
start to recede, until the room has doubled in size.
NEVILLE (cont'd)
(to the room)
Are you sure you can't do anything
about food?
To his astonishment, a door materializes in the wall in
front of him, and swings open.
FADE TO:
EXT. FOREST - EVENING
The treetops gleam white in the growing darkness. The
camera pans down, and we see the tent, pitched on the
snowy ground.
INT. TENT - EVENING
HERMIONE is reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
HARRY
Hermione, I've been thinking. I
want to go to Godric's Hollow.
HERMIONE looks up.
HERMIONE
Yes, I've been wondering that too.
The more I think about it, the
more likely it seems it's there.
HARRY
What's there?
HERMIONE
Well, the sword, Harry! Dumbledore
must have known you'd want to go
back there to visit your parents'
grave, and after all, Godric's
Hollow is Godric Gryffindor's
birthplace —
HARRY
What?
HERMIONE
Honestly, did you ever pay
attention in History class?
Godric's Hollow, Godric
Gryffindor, Gryffindor's sword,
Dumbledore must have expected us
to make the connection!
FADE TO:
EXT. GRAVEYARD, GODRIC'S HOLLOW - NIGHT
Close-up on a sign saying "Godric's Hollow". The camera
pans to reveal HARRY and HERMIONE walking through the
graveyard, examining the names on the headstones with
lighted wands. HERMIONE stops in front of a crumbling,
mossy stone, frowning at a symbol engraved on it that
looks like a triangular eye, its pupil crossed with a
vertical line.
HERMIONE
Harry, look at this.
HARRY
What?
HERMIONE
I've seen this sign before.
She reads the name on the stone:
HERMIONE (cont'd)
Ignotus Peverell.
HARRY
I'm going to keep looking for my
parents, all right?
They continue their search. A few moments later...
HARRY (cont'd)
I found them!
Close-up on a headstone made of white marble, with two
names engraved upon it: "James Potter, born 27 March
1960, died 31 October 1981" and "Lily Potter, born 30
January 1960, died 31 October 1981". Switching back to a
wide shot, we see HERMIONE coming to HARRY's side.
Suddenly, HARRY grunts in pain and brings a hand to his
scar.
NAGINI's P.O.V. — NAGINI the snake is slithering through
the graveyard toward HARRY and HERMIONE.
HARRY (cont'd)
Hermione, down!
HARRY pushes HERMIONE out of the way, as NAGINI leaps
into view and toward HARRY. As HARRY raises his wand, the
snake bites his forearm with such force as to send the
wand spinning backward into a tree trunk. A powerful blow
from the tail to his midriff knocks him backward, near
the same tree. NAGINI slides over him and begins to coil
itself around his torso.
NAGINI
(hissing)
Yes... hold you... hold you till
he comes...
HERMIONE reaches them and points her wand at the snake.
HERMIONE
Incendio!
NAGINI's tail bursts into flame, and the snake thrashes
off HARRY and into the snow, which extinguishes the fire.
HARRY crawls toward the tree and picks up his wand. To
his dismay, the impact has nearly severed the wand in
two; one fragile strand of phoenix feather keeps both
pieces hanging together.
HARRY
No!
The snake launches itself at HARRY once more.
HERMIONE
Harry, get out of the way!
HARRY leaps out of the way, and the snake hits the tree,
at which HERMIONE's wand is pointed.
HERMIONE (cont'd)
Confringo!
The tree is blown to smithereens, and the snake is buried
under the falling fragments.
HERMIONE (cont'd)
Come, quick!
As HARRY runs towards her, their hands find each other's,
and they Disapparate.
EXT. FOREST - NIGHT
HARRY and HERMIONE Apparate into the middle of the
forest. HARRY holds out his broken wand to HERMIONE.
HARRY
Mend it. Please.
HERMIONE
I don't think I can —
HARRY
Please try!
HERMIONE points her wand at his.
HERMIONE
Reparo!
The dangling half of the wand reseals itself. HARRY holds
it up.
HARRY
Lumos!
The wand sparkles feebly, then splits into two again.
HARRY (cont'd)
Well, then, I'll just borrow yours
while I keep watch.
