Lupin is my favorite HP character and I really wish he was more developed in the films. David Thewlis, the actor who played Lupin, did do a fantastic job with what he was given though.
@@zarianugget541 Voldemort had no use for humans (Muggles), and he did fear death, so his death *as a human again* was quite relevant, as Rowling had written it. "Hollywood" always thinks their take on things is better than that of the authors'.
Oldenweery Exactly, but also everyone in the Wizarding World had built him up to be some ethereal being that was somehow beyond humanity. So it was poignant to see that at the end of the day he was just human, nothing more.
One day they really should make Harry Potter into a series with a high budget, like Game of Thrones. That way they can include every detail from the books that was left out of the movies.
I was not expecting Neville’s parents in St. Mungo’s to be number 1, but I agree! Neville is my favorite character. That was such an important scene. And it’s one of my favorites in the entire series.
how about the one in Order of the Phoenix where Ginny was basically the only one to talk some sense into Harry about how he was not possessed by Voldemort?
In my opinion, The Order of the Phoenix is the best book, but the worst film throghout the series, with lots of important details being cut out. For some absolutely nonsense reason they added some crazy shit thus distorting the characters and the plot
@Alisa Shafar I absolutely hated the dancing-scene in the tent. Others found it endearing or cute, but the fact that they were só close and almost kissed and then Hermione walks off and Harry looks as if he's just been dumped (plus, the next morning, Hermione suggests they should grow old together and Harry is the one ignoring her this time) just made for an awkward 'they're not in a love-triangle"stamement for the adults in the movie. I can just héár the adults thinking; 'Ohhhh..she was in love with Harry all this time. Oh no, wait, she walks off. I guess he was in love with hér then. And now she loves him back, wants to grow old and he's done with her. Hm." Because somehow *all* movies need to have the characters to fall in love and suggest that real friendship doesn't exist without sexual feelings *ugh* >
@@Widdekuu91 Yeah, "Hollywood" likes to think their take on things is better than the author's. The books clearly show Harry and Ginny's love for one another growing all the time---except Harry doesn't know how to handle it. The same can be said of Ron and Hermione's relationship in the books. You can see his jealousy coming to the fore in the Christmas Ball scene in the book. He's jealous but doesn't know why! I kind of saw it in her attitude toward Ron---and don't forget they acknowledged his affection for her when she rushed into the dining hall after being "un-petrified" in the second movie. They don't even reference earlier material!
@@oldenweery7510 Yeah, there are a lot of 'foreshadowing' moments in the books and little comments about Hermione or Ron that stares at her or wonders where she's at. It's a shame that had to go and make room for the uneccessary awkward-love-stuff that was not written about. OH and miss Giant (whatshername, the Dutch one is Mallemour, I forgot her name temporarily) *eating* (!!!) from Hagrid's beard! What were they thinking?!
The one I was waiting for the whole list, thinking it would be #1, was Fred & George’s campaign against Umbridge. In the books, the one bright spot of Dumbledore’s ouster from Hogwarts was the fact that it unleashed the Weasley twins. Prank after prank after prank, conducted with sly assistance from the teachers, had Headmistress Umbridge tearing out her hair in frustration for weeks until the final huge prank (turning a big chunk of the castle into a swamp) was enacted as a distraction in order for Harry to burgle her office. And when she finally thought she had them cornered, they made their glorious escape. It was deliciously satisfying, but the movie reduced it to just a bit of fireworks. Not even an honorable mention?!?
I would have lost my mind if we got to see Kreacher and the Hogwarts House Elves join in the Battle of Hogwarts. Behind Harry the door that led to the kitchens was blasted off its hinges. The house-elves of Hogwarts swarmed into the Entrance Hall, screaming and waving carving knives and cleavers, and at their head, the locket of Regulus Black bouncing on his chest, was Kreacher, his bullfrog’s voice audible even above this din: ‘Fight! Fight! Fight for my master, defender of house-elves!
In conjunction with the Marauder's story and becoming animagi (I believe that's the plural) I feel like it should have also been mentioned that in Goblet of Fire Rita Skeeter was also an animagus herself. She turned into a beetle and spied on Harry to try to eek out embellished stories.
@@cacho2112 If memory serves correctly, Hermione discovers that Sweeter is an animagus, right? Then, she puts a cover over her and threatens her or something?😕. Was that a deleted scene on the DVD, too?
I don't think it's right that the movies skip over the development of Lupin and Tonks' relationship. Even though I've never read the books, I would have loved to see them meet and fall in love.
The Quidditch finale where Slytherin cheat like motherlovers that was huge c'mon it's the only time Harry actually gets to win the quidditch cup personally because I think Gryffindor wins it again but he was suspended because him and one of the twins destroyed malfoy deservedly so tho
Also about the scene in The Order of The Phoenix where Harry asks Headless Nick if there was a possibility of Serious's coming back even as a ghost and the afterward conversation with Luna Lovegood.
First of all, there is no Charlie Weasley present in the movies at all. They mention him in passing, but that’s it. In the books, doesn’t he fight with his family at the Battle of Hogwarts? Honestly, Petunia receiving the Howler from Dumbledore should have been more than an honorable mention. In the books, you find out more about Petunia. When Lilly was revealed to be a witch and was accepted into Hogwarts, Petunia wrote to Dumbledore asking if she can attend the school as well. So, Petunia’s hatred of wizards and witches stems more from jealousy then anything. In The Order of the Phoenix (I think), Petunia knows what the Dementors are, asking how “aren’t they suppose to guard Azkaban?” This leads Harry to ask how Petunia knows about them and she continuously says, “doesn’t matter, go to your room”. And in The Deathly Hallows, Petunia shares a somewhat tender moment with Harry when the Dursley leave to go into hiding.
There was loads. It was quite tertiary to the main story, but if you re-read Half-Blood Prince after having read the hospital wing scene, literally every scene with either of them is about their relationship angst. Deathly Hallows as well.
I would have loved to have the scene from the sorcerer's stone where Charlie Weasley sends his friends to pick up Norbert and deliver him to the dragon sanctuary . However what I would've done is have Charlie go with them since we only see Charlie for a second on that paper that Ron shows Harry in prisoner of azkaban . Also I wished Bill was introduced in goblet of fire since we Bill only appears in that paper that Ron shows Harry and in Deathly Hallows parts 1&2 .
In hp and the cursed child, Dudley actually took Harry’s old baby blanket (the only thing that he had left from his parents) from the Dursley house and gave it to Harry.
Yeah, but I've always pointed out that since they already had to do an immense amount of CGI anyway, they should've added him in. I don't know why they had to even try using a real actor. Maybe they could've got somebody with an easily recognized voice to dub the CGI version.
@@myerklamb8529 Yes, he does---and he's very important to some of the plot points. Loved it when the Weasley twins passed on the gauntlet him when they decided they'd had enough of an education---and The Frog Queen. Spectacular, and barely touched in the film.
Some of these were way less important then Voldemort's parents and the Gaunts. It explained his difficulties with love and shed light on the darkness Voldemort came from. I still feel sorry for his mom.
I was missing the scene in the Goblet of Fire when the Weasley's came bursting through the Dursley's non-existent fireplace to pick up Harry. That scene makes me laugh every time.
They messed up Ron and hermiones characters completely making their relationship in the movie seem to come out of no where. In the books you can see their relationship/love blossom. Their first kiss in the book was better and made more sense . I hate how they protrayed Ron in the films even giving some of his lines to Hermione . In the books you really get to see his character grow and mature unlike the films .
What also should have been in the movies is the obstacles in the maze (4th book, Harry Potter & the goblet of fire)... for example 1) Sphinx with it's riddle, 2)Blast-ended screwt & Aragogs offspring.... Also, the fight after Dumbledore dies (Hagrid & Mcgonagall fighting/being attacked)....
Not bad MsMojo! Although I must say the movies are still BRILLIANT! They did a great job all around and crammed a whole lot of story and detail into them all the same. My favorite bit from this List would be Dudley's goodbye. Would have liked to see that in the Theatrical Version.
What about the Quidditch world cup? And when Mr. Weasly comes thru the fireplace to meet the Dursleys? (Where they destroy their living room lol). And when DUMBLEDORE meets the Dursleys? And ummmm Ginny's character in general. Movie version Ginny is terrible. Ginny was actually one of my favorite characters when I read the books. but in the movies, she was different (and not for the good).!!
The most important things to me that were left out were the meetings Harry had in Dumbledore's office in Half-blood Prince, looking at memories in the pensieve, especially the stuff about the Gaunts.
They don't make Ginny and Harry's kiss in the Common Room in the movie but they do to Ron and Lavender's...? I don't get it. They should've at LEAST put in the main characters second kiss (but most important) He married her later. And what about their second kiss in Ginny's bedroom on his birthday that was interrupted by Ron and Hermione? ANGER
@@chubkuriboh I've thought of that myself, but I think we may be whistling in the dark, unfortunately. Lord knows, they've turned other movies into TV series, with or without success. (Who knows, they might have encouraged more kids, particularly boys, to READ.)
Professor Dumbledore's funeral wasn't in the movie and it should of been and at the end when Harry just breaks the elder wand and throws it in the moat instead of what should of happen, Harry repairing his own wand, the one he preferred and then returning to Dumbledore's tomb that always bothered me and made me angry
PipsKay I think breaking the Elder Wand was the better call. Besides everyone new where Voldemort took it from and it is the most logical place for Harry to have hidden it.
Number 10 on this list is number one for me it should have been in the movie but yet again it wasn't David Yates is a sucky director you should have been Chris Columbus that did the last two movies he did the first two he should have finished it
#6. I was so mad that they did Ginny and Harry’s first kiss SO WRONG! It’s also played into why Ron started to ignore him and and why Harry/Hermione became closer! #4. Tonks and Lupin were one of my favorite couples and they did them so dirty!! #3. Peeves. I will never forgive them for Peeves because he helped Fred and George with their exciting scene and helped during the final battle! Also I hated that the Winky story and S. P. E. W. was completely ignored.
I would've loved the S.P.E.W. in the movies. In the Dutch books, it was called Stichting(Foundation) Huiself (Houselve) voor Inburgering (for Integration) en Tolerantie (and Tolerance.) It was already a bit cheeky in the books, but now imagine that in the movie! :D
With the way old movies are always brought back again, I wouldn't be surprised. It would be weird though having to see and become accustomed to a different cast
I miss the battle of Hogwarts house elf scene. It's my favourite bit from all the books. Creature leading the charge would have been awesome to watch :)
All of these, plus more, will be included in 10 years when the story is remade into a series on Amazon, Netflix, the WB streaming service or whoever will hold the rights at that point. It might even be HBO after the GoT spinoffs are done.
The final battle in the films and Voldemort's death were perfect. They faced off just as they did in PS. Just the two of them. The two bastions of good and evil, fighting one-on-one. If the book had them one-on-one, and the film didn't, a lot of people would be arguing that it was a typical film making things overly visual and dramatic. I much prefer his film death. Voldemort's ultimate goal was immortality. For him to just disappear is very poetic. He wanted to live forever, and, just like that, he was gone. He didn't leave a body behind to be buried, or burnt. His life's goal was just over; completely reversed in a matter of seconds. Like Slughorn says, "But that's life I suppose. You - you go along, and suddenly… Poof." Also, it makes sense his body wouldn't survive. We know the soul and physical body are linked - that's why Voldemort looks the way he does. We know that having such little and damaged soul makes your body vulnerable to being destroyed - as that's what happened in Godric's Hollow, all those years before. In Godric's Hollow, his body vanished. It makes sense to assume it disintegrated like it does in DHP2. Voldemort only survived that because of his Horcruxes. This time he has none left, so his body again disintegrates, but now his soul gets trapped in Limbo, forever. Book fans want to have their cake and it eat. They talk about how Voldemort was less than a man, having lost 7/8 of his soul, that's why his appearance is changed. Yet they'll also say "he was just a man, that's why he should die a normal death." You can't have it both ways. Fact is, he was less than a man, his body's destruction in Godric's Hollow reflects that, and that's why his film death makes perfect sense. I understand his book death, but you cannot deny that his film death has deeper meaning than "HOLLYWOOD SUX. ONLY INTERESTED IN SFX" like most people claim it does. Neville gave Harry the gillyweed in 4th year. Seeing more house-elves would be awesome, but what would be cut? Sectumsempra is the only spell he invented. And it was a point of contention. You just made up it wasn't. Because you're so fucking clearly biased.
YES!! PEEVES! He should have been in the movie. Rik Mayall filmed all his scenes for the first movie but it was cut out of the movie. They don't even have the deleted scenes in the extras. I want those scenes
The part to where Ginny took Harry's place as seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team was true because in the video game adaptation it did that after Harry casted the Sectumsempra spell on Malfoy in some random bathroom at Hogwarts, Snape came in to check on Malfoy and asked Harry on where he learned that spell and Harry gave no answer. So Snape decided to suspend Harry from the Quidditch team and served detention for what he did.
Well, I searched "scenes in harry potter books that should have been in the movies" precisely because I was thinking of Neville's parents. So I'm glad that that's the #1. Agree with pretty much all the others. I would like to note though, that if the potions puzzle in the 1st book is included, then they should also follow the Devil's Snare scene as it was in the books. In the movie, if I remember right, they made it so Hermione was calm and knew exactly what to do to kill the plant. But in the books, it was Harry's idea to light a fire, then Hermione was panicking and said, "yes, but there's no wood!" It was only after Ron bellowed, "are you a witch or not?" that she thought to use her flame spell. I believe in the movies, they gave that 'room' to Hermione instead so they don't have to include the potions room. So basically, they left 3 rooms to highlight each one's ability: (a) Devil's Snare for Hermione, (b) flying key room for Harry, and (c) chess room for Ron.
The whole battle of Hogwarts was totally different. No giants, houselves, dragons, centaurs, etc. I wish they would have included the scene with McGonagall in Ravenclaw tower. Also, the beginning of Goblet of Fire with the Weaselys meeting the Dursleys, Bill meeting Harry, the Weaselys, Harry, and Hermione sitting in the good seats at the world cup, and the muggles who ran the campsite. and later in the book, Molly and Bill visiting Harry for the family day. Tonks was my favorite and she was underutilized in the movies. She was at Hogwarts a few times in the sixth book T
Mojo can never get a list right!! Why on earth would they put St. Mungos at number 1, when almost none of the info is all that substantial to the final book & movies?! The Gaunt Memory not only shows important info about Voldemort’s lineage, but also showcases 2 Future Horcuxes!! How TF does that memory only get an honorable mention when by any metric, it should’ve been at least in the top 3, if not number 1! And to top it all off; Dumbledore’s “explain it all” speeches at the end of GoF & OotP being reduced to practical uselessness in the movies doesn’t even get an honorable mention?! Do they intentionally do this just to infuriate actual fans?! 🤔😡💯
I'm sorry but I hated SPEW and Peeves and I'm glad they left it out...I wish they would of included St.Mungo's Hospital though, Neville visiting his parents would have been amazing to see.
Goblet of fire world cup Quidditch. Harry and the weasleys in the seats with the minister for Magic.We meet Draco's mother for the 1st time,Winkey is keeping a "spare seat", while shaking as she's scared of heights, and the leprechaun show before the match. I would have loved to have seen them. Plus winky getting fired/freed because the guy in the "empty seat" was really an invisible Barty Crouch jr, who escaped thanks to stealing Harrys' wand!
Harry deffending Albus Dumbledore and telling Aberforth how much Albus is hurting over what happend with their sister - the Weasleys and Malfoys loyality over family like Fred and George trying to beat Draco for insulting their family, Ron getting mad at Harry for kissing Ginny because of how hurt Ginny was of the break up and Draco deffending his family everytime someone talks bad about his mom or dad or Lucius begging Voldemort for him to go to Draco - Snape asking the portrait to not call Hermione a mudblood - Snape trying to hit the deatheater that attact Remus - Remus telling Harry that Snape helped him by giving him portion for when he was a werewolf - Fleur's and Bill's relationship - Harry checking to see if Ginny was safe when he was on the run and Hermione crying over Ron - how much other characters lost in the first wizarding war: Molly two brothers, Neville both parents, Remus all of his best friends (or he atleast thought so), Sirius his best friend - the houseelfs and centaurs coming to deffend Hogwarts - Albus admitting how brave he thougt Snape was and hinting he belonged in Gryffindor - how brave Ron and Neville were
Another name for this title is top 10 reasons why I am looking forward to the HBO Max remake. Edited; Also, House Elves were not mistreated in Hogwarts. The purpose of S.P.E.W was to remove House Elves from their one purpose of life, not improve it which is something Hermonie should have done.
There’s deleted scene in Hp and the deathly hallows pt 2. When Harry and Voldemort fall to the ground outside of Hogwarts (when they’re about to have the final duel) Draco runs to Harry and throws him his wand. DRARRY IS REAL
I just want half blood prince to be done over to fix all they missed! and screwed up! same with 2nd half of Deathly Hallows. ALSO not a big plot point its just one of my personal fav scenes when Harry destroys Dumbledore office at the end of Order of the Phoenix
The Weasleys coming to see Harry as his family during the Tri-Wizars tournament is one if my favorite missing scenes ans really explains Bill and Fluers relationship as well. No exact scenes, but i always felt Nevilles didnt get enough in the movies. Hes much more impactful in the books
It is definitely a good thing the SPEW plotline wasn't included. The entire subplot is about how it's OK that the house elves are slaves because they like being enslaved and Hermione is being an idiot to try to free them. Dobby is considered an outlier among the elves and the only lesson the books end up promoting is "treat your slaves better". It's very obvious why this was dropped.
Oh do NOT get me started on how badly they mangled the Half-Blood Prince revelation. Even Alan Rickman said he was disappointed with how the storyline played out.
Only the Malfoy House's House Elves are mistreated (and likely in other ill-tempered Houses as well). House Elves live to serve, and without doing so, they live without purpose.
I love the Half Blood Prince movie, but it really should’ve been the Voldemort’s movie, because this is the book where he wins, and where is backstory is shown.
There were many good things in the books that were left out, but Harry’s and Voldie’s end battle in the movie were annoying. Clearly someone wanted to push the limit for what ”cool” special effects they had access to instead of going with the actual story. No witnesses to his death was really bad but other parts too like Harry being able to grab Voldie and pull him with him and still live to tell the tale.
What about the funeral of Albus Dumbledore? That was A MOMENT!
Oscar I was shocked that they didn’t include it in the movie. I mean COME ON! It’s DUMBLEDORE’s death!
I would have loved to see more Fakes
Yeah, how could you forget the man that told Harry to go and find Horcruxes and almost killed him? XD
What about Percy being a brat and then making up with the family + Fred Death scene 💔😔
@Marianne i never relally liked percy but i forgave him at the battle of hogwarts him joking with fred was adorable
The fact that Lupin and Tonk’s relationship was basically nonexistent in the movies has always been one of my least favorite parts of the movies.
yeah I always say I care about 1 of them dieing
CW Fan I know
I didn’t really care about tonks because she ruined my favorite ship but since lupin is my fave character I pretty much died when he died
Lupin is my favorite HP character and I really wish he was more developed in the films. David Thewlis, the actor who played Lupin, did do a fantastic job with what he was given though.
Agreed!
The Harry and Dudley respect moment should been part of the big movie.
Sad it was a deleted scene.
Absolutely!
The fact they filmed it and didn't include it was silly
At least we sorta got it compared to the rest of this list that one was actually filmed
That and malfoys run should have made the cut
You're right about Voldemort's death, because in the book it shows him dying like a human, his greatest fear.

Some things are better left unseen. But yeah, most scene´s should be better in a tv series

I agree.
I have been saying this for ages. Too many key moments and interesting plots were left out of the movies.
Can the percy jackson fandom have some
Because seriously
We need help
Have you SEEN our movies
if this list doesnt include the scene where harry destroys half of dumbledore's office screaming at him then i declare it invalid

9 should be Umbridge confirms that she was the one who sent Dementors after Harry.
And "The kiss", Hermione kissed Ron because he was worried about the elfs, not because of the "adrenaline"

Who the Marauders are and the backstory. Plus; how they REALLY got into the whooping willow
Not including Ludo Bagman really pissed me off..
To be fair I don’t remember Lupin and Tonks getting a lot of development in the books. Honestly to me it came kind of out of left field.

However what I would've done is have Charlie go with them since we only see Charlie for a second on that paper that Ron shows Harry in prisoner of azkaban . Also I wished Bill was introduced in goblet of fire since we Bill only appears in that paper that Ron shows Harry and in Deathly Hallows parts 1&2 .
In hp and the cursed child, Dudley actually took Harry’s old baby blanket (the only thing that he had left from his parents) from the Dursley house and gave it to Harry.
Peeves scenes were actually already filmed.. but they couldn't make him look any different from the house ghosts, so they took him out.
Yeah, but I've always pointed out that since they already had to do an immense amount of CGI anyway, they should've added him in. I don't know why they had to even try using a real actor. Maybe they could've got somebody with an easily recognized voice to dub the CGI version.
Still, it's pretty criminal that they excluded him. It's been a while since I've read them, but I'm pretty sure he appears in all 7 books.
@@myerklamb8529 Yes, he does---and he's very important to some of the plot points. Loved it when the Weasley twins passed on the gauntlet him when they decided they'd had enough of an education---and The Frog Queen. Spectacular, and barely touched in the film.
Should had more Dobby Harry and Ginny kiss and Neville parents
@Holly ludlow
Comma's are important. I thought you were suggesting something spicy there.
Some of these were way less important then Voldemort's parents and the Gaunts. It explained his difficulties with love and shed light on the darkness Voldemort came from. I still feel sorry for his mom.
REGULUS BLACK
I would have liked to see more of what was in the book in The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the worst adaptation of the all the books. Voldemort's history should have been explored a lot more 🙄
Any Harry potter fans?
ranim faizul me
ranim faizul I’m a big fan of the books. I don’t really care for the movies.
C Ewe I mean I like the movie, grew up with them, but the books are lot more epic, I always tell people to read the books
Fudge & Scrimgeour talking with the muggle minister.... Crabbe & Goyle being little girls 4 Draco. I really want to see that 😂
What about the quidditch World Cup?
I was missing the scene in the Goblet of Fire when the Weasley's came bursting through the Dursley's non-existent fireplace to pick up Harry. That scene makes me laugh every time.
also because of the way harry hid the potions book he later knew where to find the horcrux. But they cut that part out, too, didn't they...
belen they didn’t cut the horcrux thing so much as forgot it even happened.
They messed up Ron and hermiones characters completely making their relationship in the movie seem to come out of no where. In the books you can see their relationship/love blossom. Their first kiss in the book was better and made more sense . I hate how they protrayed Ron in the films even giving some of his lines to Hermione . In the books you really get to see his character grow and mature unlike the films .
What also should have been in the movies is the obstacles in the maze (4th book, Harry Potter & the goblet of fire)... for example 1) Sphinx with it's riddle, 2)Blast-ended screwt & Aragogs offspring.... Also, the fight after Dumbledore dies (Hagrid & Mcgonagall fighting/being attacked)....
Excuse me! Leaving out the memories about the Guants and young Voldemort should have been number 1!
Not bad MsMojo! Although I must say the movies are still BRILLIANT! They did a great job all around and crammed a whole lot of story and detail into them all the same. My favorite bit from this List would be Dudley's goodbye. Would have liked to see that in the Theatrical Version.
6yo me was so salty that the potions riddle wasn't in the film.
You must've been a very adept reader since you were reading before even going into kindergarten
AMYSCHILD GAMER LIVE In the UK we start school at 4 but my dad read it with me
@@Gandellion oh then my bad lol my apologies
The Dursley’s should be arrested for everything they did to him
What about the Quidditch world cup?
And when Mr. Weasly comes thru the fireplace to meet the Dursleys? (Where they destroy their living room lol).
And when DUMBLEDORE meets the Dursleys?
And ummmm Ginny's character in general. Movie version Ginny is terrible. Ginny was actually one of my favorite characters when I read the books. but in the movies, she was different (and not for the good).!!
I'd also add Molly Weasely comforting Harry in the hospital wing at the end of Goblet of Fire.
@NansJns
Oh my god, I forgot about that one. I still have a drawing that I'm working on, of that scéne.
It was heartbreaking.
@@Widdekuu91 It really was! I was so disappointed when it wasn't in the movie.
The most important things to me that were left out were the meetings Harry had in Dumbledore's office in Half-blood Prince, looking at memories in the pensieve, especially the stuff about the Gaunts.
They don't make Ginny and Harry's kiss in the Common Room in the movie but they do to Ron and Lavender's...? I don't get it. They should've at LEAST put in the main characters second kiss (but most important) He married her later. And what about their second kiss in Ginny's bedroom on his birthday that was interrupted by Ron and Hermione? ANGER
They should have made it into a TV series!! One episode per chapter!
No.
i wouldn't say one episode per chapter but i like the way you think
@@chubkuriboh I've thought of that myself, but I think we may be whistling in the dark, unfortunately. Lord knows, they've turned other movies into TV series, with or without success. (Who knows, they might have encouraged more kids, particularly boys, to READ.)
#3. Rik Mayall was just too naturally talented and funny for the producers to keep around.
celticwolff who
I think Rik Mayall died. Not sure when it was in relationship to his character as Peeves.
@Jeremy Brookes Phoebe Cates who incidentally is Kevin Klines wife was in Drop Dead Fred not Carrie Fisher.
Did you put on the countdown petunia saying to Harry you didn't just lose a mother that night in godrick's hollow I lost a sister.
Professor Dumbledore's funeral wasn't in the movie and it should of been and at the end when Harry just breaks the elder wand and throws it in the moat instead of what should of happen, Harry repairing his own wand, the one he preferred and then returning to Dumbledore's tomb that always bothered me and made me angry
PipsKay I think breaking the Elder Wand was the better call. Besides everyone new where Voldemort took it from and it is the most logical place for Harry to have hidden it.
Number 10 on this list is number one for me it should have been in the movie but yet again it wasn't David Yates is a sucky director you should have been Chris Columbus that did the last two movies he did the first two he should have finished it
I thought the birthday party for Nearly Headless Nick should have been in the movies. That was a really funny part of the book.
They are currently playing the Harry Potter mouse on the USA network. I wonder if that’s what sparked this list?
#6. I was so mad that they did Ginny and Harry’s first kiss SO WRONG! It’s also played into why Ron started to ignore him and and why Harry/Hermione became closer!
#4. Tonks and Lupin were one of my favorite couples and they did them so dirty!!
#3. Peeves. I will never forgive them for Peeves because he helped Fred and George with their exciting scene and helped during the final battle!
Also I hated that the Winky story and S. P. E. W. was completely ignored.
I cringed when they said "the room of hidden things"
It's the room of requirement not the room of hidden things
-Hermione
I would've loved the S.P.E.W. in the movies. In the Dutch books, it was called Stichting(Foundation) Huiself (Houselve) voor Inburgering (for Integration) en Tolerantie (and Tolerance.)
It was already a bit cheeky in the books, but now imagine that in the movie! :D
I really hope we one day will get to see the entire Harry Potter series as a TV show, where they can add some of the books best moments.
With the way old movies are always brought back again, I wouldn't be surprised. It would be weird though having to see and become accustomed to a different cast
I miss the battle of Hogwarts house elf scene. It's my favourite bit from all the books. Creature leading the charge would have been awesome to watch :)
I like how the movies turned out, and hey they could've been way worse
@Astell Dark Shadow
Not to be mean, but anything 'could be worse' and that's not a high bar to set for a multimillion franchise.
I would want to know more about the Black Sisters
You just ruined the last film in just a few sentences
All of these, plus more, will be included in 10 years when the story is remade into a series on Amazon, Netflix, the WB streaming service or whoever will hold the rights at that point. It might even be HBO after the GoT spinoffs are done.
The final battle in the films and Voldemort's death were perfect. They faced off just as they did in PS. Just the two of them. The two bastions of good and evil, fighting one-on-one. If the book had them one-on-one, and the film didn't, a lot of people would be arguing that it was a typical film making things overly visual and dramatic.
I much prefer his film death. Voldemort's ultimate goal was immortality. For him to just disappear is very poetic. He wanted to live forever, and, just like that, he was gone. He didn't leave a body behind to be buried, or burnt. His life's goal was just over; completely reversed in a matter of seconds. Like Slughorn says, "But that's life I suppose. You - you go along, and suddenly… Poof."
Also, it makes sense his body wouldn't survive. We know the soul and physical body are linked - that's why Voldemort looks the way he does. We know that having such little and damaged soul makes your body vulnerable to being destroyed - as that's what happened in Godric's Hollow, all those years before. In Godric's Hollow, his body vanished. It makes sense to assume it disintegrated like it does in DHP2. Voldemort only survived that because of his Horcruxes. This time he has none left, so his body again disintegrates, but now his soul gets trapped in Limbo, forever.
Book fans want to have their cake and it eat. They talk about how Voldemort was less than a man, having lost 7/8 of his soul, that's why his appearance is changed. Yet they'll also say "he was just a man, that's why he should die a normal death." You can't have it both ways. Fact is, he was less than a man, his body's destruction in Godric's Hollow reflects that, and that's why his film death makes perfect sense.
I understand his book death, but you cannot deny that his film death has deeper meaning than "HOLLYWOOD SUX. ONLY INTERESTED IN SFX" like most people claim it does.
Neville gave Harry the gillyweed in 4th year. Seeing more house-elves would be awesome, but what would be cut?
Sectumsempra is the only spell he invented. And it was a point of contention. You just made up it wasn't. Because you're so fucking clearly biased.
#2 Yes. Sirius being my 2nd favorite and POA being my favorite book. THAT pissed me off to no end
I was so pissed when I found out he wasn’t in a relationship with Lupin. Wolfstar is my otp ship
Happy Easter 🐣🐰🐇 Sunday!!!
Thanks!
If they did #8 right; people like me would've known; they did cut alot
Voldemort ' s past
1# voldemort past
YES!! PEEVES! He should have been in the movie. Rik Mayall filmed all his scenes for the first movie but it was cut out of the movie. They don't even have the deleted scenes in the extras. I want those scenes
The part to where Ginny took Harry's place as seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team was true because in the video game adaptation it did that after Harry casted the Sectumsempra spell on Malfoy in some random bathroom at Hogwarts, Snape came in to check on Malfoy and asked Harry on where he learned that spell and Harry gave no answer. So Snape decided to suspend Harry from the Quidditch team and served detention for what he did.
Well, I searched "scenes in harry potter books that should have been in the movies" precisely because I was thinking of Neville's parents. So I'm glad that that's the #1.
Agree with pretty much all the others.
I would like to note though, that if the potions puzzle in the 1st book is included, then they should also follow the Devil's Snare scene as it was in the books.
In the movie, if I remember right, they made it so Hermione was calm and knew exactly what to do to kill the plant.
But in the books, it was Harry's idea to light a fire, then Hermione was panicking and said, "yes, but there's no wood!" It was only after Ron bellowed, "are you a witch or not?" that she thought to use her flame spell.
I believe in the movies, they gave that 'room' to Hermione instead so they don't have to include the potions room. So basically, they left 3 rooms to highlight each one's ability: (a) Devil's Snare for Hermione, (b) flying key room for Harry, and (c) chess room for Ron.
The whole battle of Hogwarts was totally different. No giants, houselves, dragons, centaurs, etc.
I wish they would have included the scene with McGonagall in Ravenclaw tower.
Also, the beginning of Goblet of Fire with the Weaselys meeting the Dursleys, Bill meeting Harry, the Weaselys, Harry, and Hermione sitting in the good seats at the world cup, and the muggles who ran the campsite. and later in the book, Molly and Bill visiting Harry for the family day.
Tonks was my favorite and she was underutilized in the movies. She was at Hogwarts a few times in the sixth book
T
Mojo can never get a list right!! Why on earth would they put St. Mungos at number 1, when almost none of the info is all that substantial to the final book & movies?! The Gaunt Memory not only shows important info about Voldemort’s lineage, but also showcases 2 Future Horcuxes!! How TF does that memory only get an honorable mention when by any metric, it should’ve been at least in the top 3, if not number 1! And to top it all off; Dumbledore’s “explain it all” speeches at the end of GoF & OotP being reduced to practical uselessness in the movies doesn’t even get an honorable mention?! Do they intentionally do this just to infuriate actual fans?! 🤔😡💯
I'm sorry but I hated SPEW and Peeves and I'm glad they left it out...I wish they would of included St.Mungo's Hospital though, Neville visiting his parents would have been amazing to see.
Goblet of fire world cup Quidditch. Harry and the weasleys in the seats with the minister for Magic.We meet Draco's mother for the 1st time,Winkey is keeping a "spare seat", while shaking as she's scared of heights, and the leprechaun show before the match. I would have loved to have seen them.
Plus winky getting fired/freed because the guy in the "empty seat" was really an invisible Barty Crouch jr, who escaped thanks to stealing Harrys' wand!
Harry deffending Albus Dumbledore and telling Aberforth how much Albus is hurting over what happend with their sister - the Weasleys and Malfoys loyality over family like Fred and George trying to beat Draco for insulting their family, Ron getting mad at Harry for kissing Ginny because of how hurt Ginny was of the break up and Draco deffending his family everytime someone talks bad about his mom or dad or Lucius begging Voldemort for him to go to Draco - Snape asking the portrait to not call Hermione a mudblood - Snape trying to hit the deatheater that attact Remus - Remus telling Harry that Snape helped him by giving him portion for when he was a werewolf - Fleur's and Bill's relationship - Harry checking to see if Ginny was safe when he was on the run and Hermione crying over Ron - how much other characters lost in the first wizarding war: Molly two brothers, Neville both parents, Remus all of his best friends (or he atleast thought so), Sirius his best friend - the houseelfs and centaurs coming to deffend Hogwarts - Albus admitting how brave he thougt Snape was and hinting he belonged in Gryffindor - how brave Ron and Neville were
Another name for this title is top 10 reasons why I am looking forward to the HBO Max remake.
Edited; Also, House Elves were not mistreated in Hogwarts. The purpose of S.P.E.W was to remove House Elves from their one purpose of life, not improve it which is something Hermonie should have done.
The entire Gaunt family scenes in Half Blood Prince. Fuck that movie! It missed out on so much vital information.
There’s deleted scene in Hp and the deathly hallows pt 2. When Harry and Voldemort fall to the ground outside of Hogwarts (when they’re about to have the final duel) Draco runs to Harry and throws him his wand. DRARRY IS REAL
I just want half blood prince to be done over to fix all they missed! and screwed up! same with 2nd half of Deathly Hallows. ALSO not a big plot point its just one of my personal fav scenes when Harry destroys Dumbledore office at the end of Order of the Phoenix
The Weasleys coming to see Harry as his family during the Tri-Wizars tournament is one if my favorite missing scenes ans really explains Bill and Fluers relationship as well.
No exact scenes, but i always felt Nevilles didnt get enough in the movies. Hes much more impactful in the books
It is definitely a good thing the SPEW plotline wasn't included. The entire subplot is about how it's OK that the house elves are slaves because they like being enslaved and Hermione is being an idiot to try to free them. Dobby is considered an outlier among the elves and the only lesson the books end up promoting is "treat your slaves better". It's very obvious why this was dropped.
I personally think Lupin should’ve abandoned tonks and went to Sirius. WOLFSTAR IS BETTER THAN RONKS
Oh do NOT get me started on how badly they mangled the Half-Blood Prince revelation. Even Alan Rickman said he was disappointed with how the storyline played out.
Only the Malfoy House's House Elves are mistreated (and likely in other ill-tempered Houses as well). House Elves live to serve, and without doing so, they live without purpose.
Something that should have been in both: Harry finding a resurrection stone and bringing Hedwig back
(I love Hedwig, she’s adorable)
I love the Half Blood Prince movie, but it really should’ve been the Voldemort’s movie, because this is the book where he wins, and where is backstory is shown.
There were many good things in the books that were left out, but Harry’s and Voldie’s end battle in the movie were annoying. Clearly someone wanted to push the limit for what ”cool” special effects they had access to instead of going with the actual story.
No witnesses to his death was really bad but other parts too like Harry being able to grab Voldie and pull him with him and still live to tell the tale.
