![]() Making selections on awkward shapes has always been a bit of a pain but with the introduction of the Curvature Pen tool, the process has got a little easier. The Curvature Pen tool is located under the Pen tool in the Tools panel and you can use it to select specific areas of an image. The top row on the below image was drawn with a mouse and without the brush stroke smoothing feature while the line below did have the brush stroke smoothing option applied and you can see lines are much smoother. In fact, even if you're using a mouse or pen to make edits, the software now produces much smoother lines when the brush stroke smoothing option is selected. Brush presets also retain their properties from tool presets and there's a symmetry tool that allows you to draw mirrored.Īs well as adding new brushes and making them easier to access/arrange, Adobe has worked hard to smooth brush strokes when working with trackpads and fingers on touch devices.

There are also useful 'rich tooltips' now built in which pop up when you hover your cursor over a tool and they display a description as well as a short animation on how the tool works. They're a useful addition that are easy to follow and they will help those who have zero or just a basic level of photo editing knowledge.

Since Voldemort has strong reactions whenever these Horcruxes go bye-bye, the destruction of the diadem causes Harry to have yet another flash of Voldemort's thoughts. Using a fang that Hermione and Ron stole out of the Chamber of Secrets, they destroy the diadem. ![]() Slippery Snakesīut anyway, Harry has achieved his goal: he's got the Horcrux. Hermione and Ron show up to assist, fresh from destroying the Horcrux stolen from Bellatrix's vault, but the room literally ends up engulfed in flames before it's all over, and Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, and Goyle barely make it out (Crabbe? Not so lucky, we're afraid). Malfoy and his lackeys, Crabbe and Goyle, trail Harry into the room because Harry has Malfoy's wand, and Malfoy wants it back. Unfortunately, things go pear-shaped there as well (what, did you expect any step of this story to be easy?). Rowena Ravenclaw's deceased daughter): The crown is in the Room of Requirement. It takes some coaxing, but Harry eventually gets what he needs from the Grey Lady (a.k.a. With Luna's help, he figures out that the object is likely Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem, and that he should talk to the Grey Lady (Ravenclaw Tower's resident ghost) to find out where it is. The Order of the Phoenix show up, ready to fight alongside the rest of the students (excluding Slytherin, natch) and professors.īut Harry isn't focused on the fighting part just yet, since he still needs to find the Horcrux hidden in the school. Voldemort shows up outside and starts threatening to make all kinds of trouble if the school's inhabitants don't turn Harry over within the hour. ![]() Once Harry enters the school, it's chaos. Aberforth sent Dobby to help Harry at the end of the last movie, and he makes himself useful now (after some balking) by helping the kids get into the school via a secret passage behind one of his paintings. Yup, that's right-Albus Dumbledore's brother.Īs it turns out, he's the person Harry's been seeing in that little piece of magic mirror he's been carrying around. They take refuge in a nearby house, and the owner turns out to be none other than Aberforth Dumbledore. When they arrive in Hogsmeade (you know, the town near Hogwarts), they immediately trip some kind of magical alarm that alerts the Death Eaters to their presence. So, he and the gang head back there to see if they can find it. Oh, but one good thing comes from the vision: when Voldemort's thoughts turn to Hogwarts, Harry realizes that one of the Horcruxes is probably there. When he hits the water, Harry gets a flash of what's going on in Voldemort's mind, and it's not good: Voldemort knows that they're after his Horcruxes, and he's not pleased. Once they've gotten a safe distance from the bank (and uh, the entire city), the kids jump off the dragon's back. Luckily, this crew is resourceful, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron use a dragon that has been imprisoned in Gringotts' basement to ride out of the bank. So, he scurries off, leaving the kids behind. After all, in his view, he only promised to get them into the vault, not out of it. Then, when they get past all that nonsense, Griphook kind of leaves them in a lurch after he's gotten his hands on the Sword of Gryffindor. The bank seems to have been warned that imposters might be trying to get into Bellatrix's vault, and even when Harry and the others manage to get over the first hurdle, they get into serious issues once they actually enter the vault: Bellatrix's treasure has a spell on it that causes it to multiply when touched, so the kids end up nearly swallowed in a mountain of duplicate treasures. Unfortunately, the trip to Gringotts doesn't exactly go smoothly. Sure, the sword is what they were planning to use to destroy the Horcruxes, but step one is getting the Horcrux, right? So, Harry agrees. Griphook agrees, but only on the condition that Harry give him the Sword of Gryffindor in return. To that end, they interview Griphook, a goblin who worked at the Gringotts bank and got mixed up in Harry's drama at the end of the last film when the kids were trying to escape from Malfoy Manor.įrom that whole escapade, Harry has realized that Bellatrix probably has one of the Horcruxes in her vault, and he wants Griphook to help him retrieve it. So, Harry and his pals are in an extra hurry now to figure out where the rest of these Horcruxes are and destroy them. (Yeah-we're off to the races right away.) What's the Elder Wand? Oh, only the most powerful wand in the world, according to legend. We jump right back in where the story left off: Voldemort has stolen the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb.
