Snape’s Movie Death Ruined Harry Potter’s Elder Wand Twist

Severus Snape’s death was an impactful moment in the Harry Potter books and movies alike, but the screen adaptation made a mistake that significantly altered the Eldar Wand twist. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Voldemort used his wand to slash Snape’s throat before allowing Nagini to finish him off. He did this believing that his servant was the true master of the Elder Wand, and it wouldn’t be until later that he realized (too late) that the Death Stick’s loyalty belonged to someone else. Still, the moment Voldemort successfully used the wand to seriously injure Snape, he should have realized the truth.
