Books Quote by Jack Goldstein
““In the film of The Deathly Hallows, Hermione is seen obliviating her parents - this isn’t mentioned at all in the book. Many critics have said this was a fantastic thing for the film to feature however, as it sets the tone of the final chapter (or two) in the Harry Potter series.””
