Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: The final battle between Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and Harry Potter (Danielle Radcliffe) finally takes place at Hogwarts where Harry desperately seeks the last Horcruxes while those opposing Voldemort fight to defend the school and their lives.

Kitty Cameos: After Harry confronts Snape (Alan Rickman) in Hogwart’s assembly hall, Argus Filch (David Bradley) comes running into the room carrying his Maine Coon cat, Mrs. Norris, in his arms.  He delivers what he feels to be the urgent news to Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) that the students are out of their rooms (seemingly not noticing the students are all assembled in the hall.)  Once again Filch was mostly used as comedy relief in this film.

Later during the war we see Filch among those who have fought and been wounded, but Mrs. Norris is not seen then.  She is seen after the battle is over in the background of the scene where Hermione and Ron approach Harry after his duel with Voldemort.  Filch begins the overwhelming task of cleaning up the school by sweeping up in an area which has been completely destroyed.  Mrs. Norris sits beside him watching, ever the faithful friend.

Purr Blur: Right after the scene in the assembly hall the students scatter about the school as chaos ensues.  The paintings on the wall also take flight and go crazy.  A cat sitting in a man’s lap in one painting is seen jumping down and chasing a dog out of another painting.

Final Mewsings: Cats would rather sit out epic wizard wars.
