Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 Scene 29

Scene 29

• Harry heads back into Hogwarts, where the survivors are trying to recover from all the drama.
• Harry gets some friendly looks as he passes, and a hug from Hagrid.
• He is reunited with Ron and Hermione, and they walk outside together.
• Hermione then asks the question that has been on all our minds (right?): Why didn't the Elder Wand work for Voldemort?
• Harry explains that while Voldemort thought the wand answered to Snape, it really answered to Draco (because Draco had disarmed Dumbledore right before his death). . .until the other night, when Harry disarmed Draco.
• Even though Harry won a different wand from Draco, that whole thing changed the Elder Wand's allegiance.
• Ron asks what they should do with the most powerful wand in the world, clearly enticed by having all that power. Harry destroys it.
