Day 24

Question: any particular scene from the books that you wished was in the movies?

Several.

 Some pretty big ones like:

  • The scene with Neville's mother and grandmother in St. Mungo's 
  • Harry fixing his wand with The Elder Wand 
  • Lee Jordan's commentaries on the Quidditch matches 
  • A ton of stuff from The Order of the Phoenix (lots of The Weasley twins) 

And some stuff that was cut out for good reasons but would have been fun to see:

  • The house-elf/S.P.E.W. storyline 
  • More time in classes (potions and herbology particularly) 
  • Firenze and his class 
  • More Quidditch games!!

What would you want to see included in an extended release of the Films?

  1. I haven't seen most of the movies, so I wouldn't know a lot.

    BUT, from the last 2 films, I wish they had shown the 3 discovering that there was an underground radio station. That would've been a nice ray of light in the midst of all that darkness.

  2. Oh, yes, that would have been brilliant! I did like those sections -- and it would have made Ron's speech about waiting to hear about his family dying on the radio so much more gut-wrenching.

    I like the movies as themselves -- adaptations of books. (I also love seeing the kids grow up and of course the brilliant actors like Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs and Kenneth Branagh who are so fun to watch)
