New Hermoine scene in Deathly Hallows

Hermione Grainger actress Emma Watson has revealed in the latest issue of SFX that a new scene that’s not in the original Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel has been created for part one of the movie.

“[Director] David Yates asked Steve Kloves to write this lovely scene at the beginning of the movie which is not in the book, but which I feel is very important for Hermione’s character. You see her wiping her parents’ memories in order for her to start off on the adventure with Ron and Harry. She knows that Voldemort could try to use her parents as a device to get to her in some way, which means they might be in harm’s way. So she wipes their memories so they forget she ever existed. All the photos of her around the house disappear. It’s a really tough way for the film to start but really important to see the sacrifices that she has to make.”
