I’ll admit while watching that scene earlier this evening I choked back tears. Really a great film.

Just finished my Christmas Eve viewing.

Also watched a streamer reacting to it. She loved it but was not happy Potter got away with the 8k.

Maybe not the Christmas spirit but..... Imagine a universe where Potter didn't get away with it.

One of those movies that hits differently the older I get.

Sure does. Of course you tear up at the end when George realizes his treasure was his friends, but when Mary says this (a life with George) is what she wished for with tears in her eyes.

The most unbelievable thing was that Mary would have ended up being a spinster librarian, having never married. But they had to find a way to work her into the story somehow.

Emotional moments in the movie:

Young George hugging mr gower
George telling his dad is a great guy
George 5000 dollar speech to Mr potter
George loaning his money during the bank run
Mary this is what I wished for
George hugging his son
George smashing his Miniature models
Mr Potter’s you’re worth more dead
George prays at the bar
Ending scene

I may be missing a few more.

What makes this move so great is that even when you watch it for the 10th time and know what’s coming at each scene, you still get emotional and fight back tears.
