[@acemstudio]

They honestly should've kept the scene in the book where Dudley said "I don't think you're a waste of space." was just a nice subtle nod to the fact that Dudley had changed his POV towards Harry. Not everyone needs to be redeemed, sure, that's what Draco's character is for (I HATE the deleted scene of him like THROWING the wand at...at who exactly? ugh) but this was a nice way to show people that bullies are people too. And sometimes they can come around. You don't HAVE to forgive them, but sometimes just acknowledging that change is enough. And sometimes showing sympathy, as Harry did towards Snape in his dying moments, is also enough.

[@saraquijano4212]

Draco throwing his Wand to Harry was actually a good scene. I don't know why they deleted it.

[@MidoriNatsume]

​@@ruturajshiralkar5566 Draco Sadboy throwing his wand to Harry. The wand that Harry already yanked out of his hands weeks earlier. I wonder why the scene was cut. Edit: I know it's Narcisa's wand. And I don't care. Harry is already using Draco's real wand, that already accepted him as his master. This shows that Draco was supporting Harry without outright saying it outloud, because Malfoys always keep their ass safe first. It's consistent with his character.

[@austinburras2993]

My guess the reason why they didn't keep it was they didn't really show much of the dirty sleeves and the 1st 3 movies yeah but the last ones not so much

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how BADASS Neville’s Nan is. Raised her grandson on her own, single handily took on a load of death eaters when they tried to kidnap her and then runs to go help Neville fight in the final battle after being on the run for a year from some of the darkest wizards of all time.

[@TheIrisCZ]

I love how proud she is about Neville. At first she thought him weak, because the two strongest and closest people to her were punished in a much worse way than death, and Neville was being nothing but a pushover in her eyes. Then, he stands up for himself at the end of the OOTP and you can see the immediate 180 she does. 'Have you seen my grandson?’ ‘He’s fighting,’ said Harry. ‘Naturally,’ said the old lady proudly. ‘Excuse me, I must go and assist him.’ The sad thing is, Neville was always this strong, he just wasn't given the chance to be himself. It's ironic, that when he is himself, he is the best of his mother and father. He is what she wanted all along. In my eyes, Neville is the master-class of character writing.

[@roisingrant]

@@TheIrisCZ And it's the coming-into-his-own in this way that makes him a Gryffindor. Very few of us are straight-up "bold" and "brave" or "arrogant" to begin with - bravery is a learned skill, and a skill you don't learn unless you really value whatever you're pursuing. You're willing to ignore every sign screaming at you not to do something, in order to do it because it's what's right. "Arrogance" only comes into it because we prioritise our morals over our fears, which some folks don't understand - they'd rather play it safe than stand out for going against the grain. Apologies for the wall of text but Gryffindors get a bad rap so it needed saying. Rant over lol.

I always felt like a huge miss throughout the series was to leave out the « everyday » interactions in the common rooms. The production may have felt like it was unnecessary and should be replaced by more meaningful scenes but to me, the scenes where students are playing game, having group conversations, snogging in the corners are what makes this whole thing even more relatable. It really highlight the fact that they’re still teenagers, doing teenagers things. And not just for Gryffindor it would have been nice to have some insight into other common rooms too.

Personally that was always a cringe scene for me and really hard to watch. There’s no romantic chemistry between Rupert and Emma and it was really obvious in that scene. I think they were just too good at being friends with each other that far into the series. I’m glad they cut it. They both seem uncomfortable as lovers.

[@bubblelicousbling2335]

I think they should’ve added more memory scenes with young Petunia and Lily nearing the end of the movies, like how Petunia wrote letters to Dumbledore asking if she could go to Hogwarts with Lily, and how she called Lily a freak at Kings Cross right before Lily left for her first year. It would’ve shown that Petunia never really hated her sister, she was just overcome with envy. The deleted scene where Petunia redeems herself is one of the most heart-warming scenes to me even though it was deleted, because it showed that as much as she resented Harry because of both his and Lilys gifts, she still has something to empathise with Harry, due to the loss of Lily

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

The problems is that that didnt happened, in the book the only one that show a little remorse is Dudley, I dont think you are a wasted of space, that is the delate scene that should have in the movie, in the book, he watched Harry was a about to said something and in the end, she couldnt, the same a Drako, he didnt help Harry, he wasnt a death eater but that dosent mean he was good

[@osmanyousif7849]

A little late to respond to this, but I have two scenes in mind for Petunia’s character in order to dive into what kind of person she is. The 1st one can happen during either Harry’s 2nd - 5th year of Hogwarts during the summer. Vernon and Petunia is either making a mockery of Harry and his wizard life trying to get him to try and wake up in how the real world works, as a way to lower his optimistic view of life, or probably making more insults about his parents and still calling Harry’s mother “a freak”. Harry tries to talk back towards Petunia and this dialogue happens - Harry: You know, I think you’re jealous. Petunia: Sure, I'm jealous of a bunch of dimwit folks like you. Harry: Yeah. Because they never accepted you into my school. Because you're a Muggle! You’re ordinary and stock… Petunia: [makes something break in the kitchen] SO…. it's back to that stupid subject again. You think I don't know what's goin' on where you're from!? I know what goes on in that freak-show world. It's a big conspiracy, and every one of you is in on it! Just 'cause you can wave a stupid stick around, you think you're better than I am?! I'M NOT AN INVALID; I KNOW I’M JUST ORDINARY!! I LIKE BEING ORDINARY!! I CAN’T HELP IT IF THEY SAID YOUR MOTHER WASN’T!! THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME!!! Harry: (realizing he messed) I… I… I didn’t mean…. Petunia: [roaring] GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!! The 2nd one can happen during the sixth year of summer for Harry, where Petunia is alone in her room checking herself out in the mirror, only to be greeted by a figment of Lily’s reflection - Lily: You always looked better with your hair tied. Petunia: What are you doing here, freak?! Lily: I didn't want to miss whatever event my sister goes to. Petunia: Don't pretend to play all sweet. I know what you are and you already made your point with me when you left our family. Lily: I think you're confused. I tried Petunia, I wanted them to let you join me in school. Despite what they said, I would’ve vouched for you my whole life. Petunia: [spins around] Well, you were wrong! Why would you?! I know this is where I belong! Not in a place for people like you would make me fear you. Lily: No. I loved you, Petunia. I do. [Petunia’s back is to the mirror, but her body is shown trembling. After a pause, she spins around and slams the mirror/throws something at it with a scream of rage, shattering it. Alone, she falls on the countertop and sobs.]

[@ian-fb2rw]

I really liked the deleted scene between Snape and Harry from the first movie, as he sounds exactly the way James did when he went to school together with Snape. It just immediately gives Snape the impression that Harry is, and will act exactly as his father, giving him another reason to why he hates him so much.

I was thinking the same thing. "it doesn't really add anything to the movie." That was foreshadowing, something every good movie/story has. It also wasn't "lore from the books," the sound of the crow of a rooster can kill it actually comes from mythology. EDIT: I wrote does when I meant doesn't

I don't think making Goblet of Fire over 3 hours would have been bad. Making 2 movies out of it would have been hard with finding a good stopping point but 3 hours would have helped pace the film better in places like the Quidditch World Cup, the time between the second and third task, the third task itself, and the aftermath of Harry returning from the graveyard (Parting of Ways chapter).

[@ceciliacarlid6113]

I definately agree that GoF would have benefitted from including the Quidditch World Cup and the Parting of Ways scene. But you don't have to make it three hours to do that. You could have just cut some of the unnecessary and stupid additions, most of all the looong scene with the dragon chasing Harry all over Hogwarts, destroying the school, nearly killing Harry and finally crashing and dying herself, but also minor ones like that pointless biting candy scene and the recurring nightmare (if the dream was real, looking into Voldemort's mind, the same scene wouldn't be recurring)

[@grahamdamberger7130]

I think the stopping point would have to be some time between the Yule Ball and the second task. Maybe just after the Yule Ball, with the scene between Karkaroff and Snape outside, where Karkaroff reaches for Snape's arm only for Snape to pull it back, foreshadowing that Snape might have a dark mark which would label him as a Death Eater. And since there was another scene later with the two of them outside Snape's classroom with Karkaroff showing his dark mark to Snape, I think It would be appropriate to have the first half end with the scene outdoors and the second half begin with the scene outside the Potions classroom, showing the transition from Karkaroff wanting to see Snape's dark mark to him showing Snape his own dark mark. There would be some issues with continuity, however, so I don't think it would be able to work that way.

[@officialmonarchmusic]

I agree. Then, we could have gotten something closer to the complex plot fo the book. We also really needed that amazing scene with Barty Crouch Sr. where he is talking to a tree and then on his knees, horrified and saying he needs to see Dumbledore and Voldemort is stronger

I agree with the Petunia scene being number one but I like the Dudley redemption scene better because of one small detail and it is when Dudley silently challenges his father. Right after Dudley asks his dad why Harry isn't coming with him, Vernon replies that Harry "does not want to" and Harry says, " I'll just be a waste of space isn't that right Vernon?" and you see Dudley look at his father, slowly close the door, and then slowly, deliberately go around the car, step over the chain around the yard all the while, not looking at Harry but looking at his father, challenging him to say anything, as he defies his father. Dudley is still arrogant, strutting a bit, chewing his gum, but you realize that he has changed and is becoming a good man. To me, it makes the next part where he holds out his hand to Harry and tells him that he doesn't believe Harry is a waste of space all the more powerful and I wish that small part of the scene is talked about more.

[@mary-catherinecroshaw6369]

Wow, I hadn't seen the Mirror of Erised scene before but that's genuinely beautiful. It's also by far some of the best acting from the boys in the first movie, when they were still coming into their own and sometimes their acting wasn't so great.

number 1 spot is on point and needed to be in the film. it's humanises aunt Petunia, also shows that very real fact of sibling rivalry, how jealousy can ruin a relationship but when life changes you reflect and realise you never hated them and regret not making amends. it also shows a little regret in her treatment to Harry in some regards.

[@danielrehacek3061]

In the deleted scene in the first movie where Snape and Harry are talking about different things about potion making, it is there that Snape tells Harry about Bezoar, or the stone from a goats stomach. This stone is also used in the 6th movie Half Blood Prince to save Ron from the poison in the brandy Professor Slughorn gives to "ease the nerves". Now Harry possibly read about it in Snape's potions book, but this scene gives us a small detail that Harry was listening to Snape even when he was putting him down. Just a small little thing to pick up on.

Actually in the books there’s a conversation between Harry and Hermione right after Ron’s accident. She is trying to convince Harry to sip the princes book and he says without it Ron would be dead - referring to having read about the bezoar there. And hermione replies or you could have just listened to Snape on first year.

[@darajeeling]

Very much agreed, would have loved more backstory in the movies.

[@andrewclemente5657]

I think a cool idea for a series is to go through each harry potter movie amd cut/remove scenes you think weren't important, and add important scenes from the books that were missing, keeping the overall duration of the movie the same. Essentially making a "perfect" adaptation with no missing info, but still limited by the constraints that the directors had in terms of screen time

[@jennipark6107]

Yes! Do it movie flame!

[@vikingdragon7100]

Fantastic idea! Often fans are naive about time constraints and other cinematic considerations and just want the movies to include most details from the books. However making a video essay within this framework you have to be really creative about what scenes to cut and include and how everything connects. Putting yourself into the role as a screenwriter, director and editor rather than as a book fan sounds like a fun video essay to watch, which surely will lead to an interesting discussion from a more cinematic point of view.

[@sebbyj6654]

A lot of these scenes are included in the movies on Peacock, I noticed a lot of these don’t feel deleted to me because they’re already integrated into the streaming platform versions of them.

[@dannyjorde2677]

21:37 Honestly, I despise this deleted scene. First of all, the acting isn't very good. But worse, in the books this was a beautiful moment with Neville, when he arrives with his legs jinxed and Hermione helps him, they try to cheer him up, Harry says he's worth 12 Malfoys and he gives him a Chocolate Frog... In the movie, they just ignore Neville and they leave him there with everyone laughing at him. I don't know why so many people like it.

[@BoomBrush]

I have not read the books, so maybe I'm bias here (I'd like to sit down and read them one day). But I don't like the scene either. I recall there being tension between Ron and Hermione from the first film, but that tension feels weirdly entangled with this exchange between Neville and Seamus. Is there any context/backstory behind their exchange in the books? Maybe it's the acting, or his age and voice being different but Seamus expressing annoyance gives me "child temper tantrum" vibes and it feels out of place in a Harry Potter movie.

Neville is such a beloved character 💜🤍. They made him into a badass over night in the movies but he gradually built up to that in the books. Besides standing up to his friends in the first book, his gran & him were big supporters of Harry & Dumbledore (just as big as the Weasley’s). I just wished they were able to show more of that.

[@_5_0]

Bro i thought i was crazy thank you

[@HopeTheThing]

As someone who’s only seen the movies (though I will soon read the books), I can see why they cut the Petunia scene. I understand what they were going for with this moment of redemption, and showing how Voldemort has deeply affected the lives of all of these people and it gives Petunia some humanity. However, all we get in the films are negative ties between Petunia and Lily. Petunia calls Lily a freak, and was obviously jealous, on top of which she abuses and neglects her sister’s son, and while I haven’t analyzed the films to a fault, they show no pictures of Lily in Petunia’s home, nor do they give even the smallest hint that Petunia cared one iota about Lily’s existence. Then all of a sudden we have Petunia saying “I lost a sister” with zero backstory or evidence why she should care, so it feels out of place with the knowledge the movies have given us about Petunia and Lily’s relationship.

[@anna-5104]

In my opinion it was a crucial scene, because she cared for Harry for 17 years, although Vernon wanted to give Harry away to an orphanage right away. She still was a terrible person, but she loved her sister enough to take Harry. Also, since you don't know, in the books she actually cared a lot about Lily. Her character arch is very exciting and has the most similarities with Snape's. You'll find out what I mean exactly in the 7th book. I hope you'll read them. I love all of the books.

[@joez833]

​@@anna-5104 She and her husband abused Harry since he was a baby. Harry could had a better childhood even in an orphanage. I do think deep down there is part of her that still loves Lily, but she buried it too deep and just could not face it because of her jealousy. To me the scene is touching at the first glance, but when I think deeper, I don't think a woman who mistreated her sister's child for 17 years would admit her love to her sister at the end. It just feels meaningless. It's just too late. She and Snape are quite different to me. Harry looks a lot more like his father than his mother, which can explain why Snape did not like Harry. Snape knew how much he hates James and how much he loves Lily very clearly the whole time.

Great list. Funnily enough, some of the scenes that stand out to me quite often in the Harry Potter films are the ones that were deleted, particularly the ones you have on the top ten, like Hermione becoming friends with Harry and Ron, Dudley being kind to Harry, and Harry meeting Snape. It's really cool seeing these deleted scenes and how it could change the movie in some way, shape, or form. For me, the deleted scene I wanted to see, and this isn't necessarily a deleted scene, but it is shown in a behind the scenes footage, and it's of Draco giving Harry his wand to fight Voldemort. While minor, it would have given Draco his redemption moment and it would have been great to see the series end with Harry and Draco helping each other. Just my view on it personally. Love the video and keep up the great work!

The scene where Harry explains the family history with the horcruxes should be way higher because in that scene Ron informs Harry & Hermione that the name "Voldemort" was cursed which explains why the gang suddenly stopped using it and why it was such a big deal when Luna's father said it. It's crucial information that fills in an unintentional plot hole & inconsistency as most movie fans remember how big of a deal it was for Ron and Hermione to start saying the name, why would they along with Harry suddenly stop saying it? Other than that though, I agree with pretty much everything else. Especially the last few scenes, I remember those being cut for pacing reasons however they were still important scenes. At least there are extended versions of these movies which were shown on TV and apparently some of the streaming services. Not sure if any home releases like the 4K versions include them, if not then hopefully some day they're included as an option.
