Welcome to the bleakest camping trip in cinematic history. In this episode, we hit the woods for Deathly Hallows Part 1 where our trio leaves Hogwarts, Ron acts like a noob, civil liberties collapse, and Voldemort takes over literally everything except a very specific radio frequency.
From infiltrating the Ministry in bad disguises to destroying Horcruxes with a sword they found in an ice pond (duh), this is the slow burn (emphasis on slow) before the final battle for Hogwarts and the future of the wizarding world.

Key Takeaways
Welcome to Rewatching! Each season, we do a fan-friendly, deep dive into the most recognizable and nostalgic film franchises in pop culture such as The Lord of the Rings (Season 1), Harry Potter (Season 2), and many other favorites. Our cast and crew, similar to the franchises, are new every season but what they lack in consistency they make up for with a love of these films. We are fans first, not experts and...fair warning: there will be spoilers because this isn’t "Watching"... this is Rewatching.
