What Spell Did Molly Weasley Use to KILL Bellatrix? - Harry Potter Theory

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be taking a closer look at one of the most satisfying and honestly most surprising moments in the entire Battle of Hogwarts: Molly Weasley defeating Bellatrix Lestrange. More specifically, we’ll be examining how the books and films portray the moment differently- because despite reaching the same outcome, they actually handle Bellatrix’s death in VERY different ways. We’ll also FINALLY be putting the question to bed of what spell she actually used to kill her, because I think I’ve got a definitive answer this time. During the Battle of Hogwarts there are obviously a lot of memorable moments. The castle is basically descending into total chaos. Spells are flying everywhere, giants are tearing through the grounds, Voldemort’s forces are overwhelming the defenders from every angle- and in the middle of all that madness, one duel suddenly becomes the emotional centre of the battle.
