Trust Harry. He is our last hope.

Many reviews for Deathly Hallows, Part 1 have been circulating in papers, magazines, and on the web over the past few days. (The reviews have been rather great!) One particular review stands out, and that is the one that appeared today in USA Today. The review, titled "A Magical Beginning to the End" poses to the reader the following:
“Menacing and meditative, Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise, though audiences who haven't kept up with previous chapters will be hopelessly lost. Not that the film is worried about your memory. If anything, director David Yates hopes to test it. Hallows features a few pop quizzes: What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry went to see professor Remus Lupin? What were the last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to Lupin and Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt? If you can't answer either question, you may want to bone up on your reading or viewing materials; the movie isn't waiting for you."
Well, USA Today, I do know the answers to those questions. It was a grindylow in a tank that sat in the corner when Harry went to visit Professor Lupin. And, the last words Albus Dumbledore said to Lupin and Shacklebolt were..."Trust Harry. He is our last hope."

Bam.
