Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2

With help from the goblin Griphook, the trio breaks into Gringotts, takes Hufflepuff's cup from Bellatrix's vault, and escapes on a dragon. At Hogwarts, Snape flees and the final battle begins. The cup and Ravenclaw's diadem are destroyed. Voldemort kills Snape, who gives Harry his memories: he always loved Lily and protected Harry at Dumbledore's request. Harry learns he also carries a piece of Voldemort's soul and gives himself up. Struck down, he comes back to life. Neville kills Nagini with the sword of Gryffindor, and Harry defeats Voldemort, because the Elder Wand was loyal to him. Harry snaps the wand. Nineteen years later, he sees his kids off on the train to Hogwarts.
