Movie flame please I've been wanted to ask you. Can you write when you can your own Harry potter sequel. I know you will make it better than the curse child one. Please if you can

MovieFlame: Hogwarts legacy review! Make gameplays, I'll watch!

did you notice that some cuts of the movie have the deleted scenes? considering my view they should have been left in anyway, its a nice touch. consider all the improv crap that gets in and you can understand why these deleted scenes wouldnt have been hard to keep.

Me too!!

I guess they did that with the first film right ? because i've seen the deleted scene in the movie.

If you watch them on cable TV they do add some of the deleted scenes back into the movies. You can actually find the first 2 movie's extended cuts on a torrent site, not that I would do such a thing.

@@yahyakanouni yeah the first two movies have got official extended editions but it would be cool the same with the rest of the series

I mean what can't you milk out of Harry Potter fans... 😀

More wholesome too

yes!!! those were always my favorite moments of the books because it showed everyday life in the magical world!

and thats what im hoping we will get in the series

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.

@@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.

Much better than neville's uncle who threw him out a window in my opinion

Augusta Longbottom is true queen, such a bad ass

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

One of those is literally in the movie

@@UhmHi-tw2lh keyword "MORE" not "I wish they would've added A memory scene"

And also adding Snape calling Lily a mudblood and making the end of their friendship

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 t 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.]

I thought they should’ve kept it as well

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

​@@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.

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

@@MidoriNatsume i think it makes sense that Harry would’ve lost the wand he was using (Draco’s i think) when Voldemort “killed” him in the woods, so then Draco tossed him the one he was using.

Every single time I re-read HBP these lines always give me chills and make me smile. Truly some great words

I hate that they took those out of the movie for this reason!!! Imagine sacrificing that and In Noctem for setting the Burrow on fire...

Wasn’t that in the movie though?

Chills every time

Same

I agree. I feel like it adds weight to her decision when you see it was necessary to do.

A lot of movie only people don't get that scene at all. What may have helped is a sort of memory or reference back to the memory erasing and fading into Yaxley standing in the empty house.

Same

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

Yes!

I hated the fact that the relationships weren't focused on a little bit more. Breaks my heart!

Ive seen that part before while watching the movies on Freeform

Hagrid was skipping stones too when they tried to comfort him in POA, also a nice link.

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.

What do you mean she's in lots of movies, like that famous one about Romeo and Juliet

She plays queen Elizabeth in the Crown on Netflix and she is amazing

That’s how I feel about Helena Bonham Carter. I loatheeed her as Bealtrix. Then I saw her in a Kings Speech and realized what a phenomenal actress she truly is.

@@daisycakes4she’s so good in the crown too made me forget she was bellatrix

I'm just glad I read the book first.

That’s what I was saying and I was like these aren’t deleted haha

I genuinely have never seen the theatrical versions of these, only the peacock ones.

No there is one. He is skipping stones waiting for harry in hp7.2. But that scene is nowhere to be found!! If someone finds it pls let me know

@@pfaloa probably on the blooper reel

I think there is one where Voldemort goes to a Muggle arcade and plays Space Invaders. Truly a wonderful deleted scene. Shame they cut it 😉

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)

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.

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

@@ceciliacarlid6113 Or remove the Yule Ball and focus more on the Barty Crouch family storyline.

@@connorwiederich I agree that there is much that could have been improved with the Crouch mystery. I don't think skipping the yule ball would be the answer, though. It is a key moment in the Romione story ark, where Ron starts to see Hermione in a different light

i like how a a school teacher gives a under age student some brandy. would be considered grooming in the muggle world. lol

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.

also the context is funny - snce the HBP only scribbled in "just shove a bezoar down ther throat" instead of helping with a real antidote - which earns Harry even more praise from Slugorn XD Ironic, really...@@belensoria1664

PREACH!!!!!! 100%

I hate that scene with Bellatrix and Fenrir since it's not in the books because they had protective enchantments all over the Burrow while Harry was there.

God I hate that scene. We lost out on more voldemort memories for THAT?! It's so stupid, so out of place, and adds absolutely nothing. If they know Harry is there, why do they leave? They just wanted to burn the burrow? But then it's back the very next movie like nothing happened - because nothing did happen in the books. So it coming right back in a few months time makes Molly's horrified expression make no sense.

@@higglybiggly1174 Harry being sassy to the new minister at the burrow is so much better. They should have kept that

It annoys me that Ron in the next scene doesn't acknowledge at all that his family and home were attacked.

I don’t think they are anymore

Especially given with the fact that after the events of the books, it's canon that Dudley and Harry kept in touch, and visited each other with their kids. it would've really shown how Dudley changed and grew to finally accept his cousin as family.

The petunia scene doesn't make sense!! It makes her character even worse! So you lost your sister and your way of grieving is by abusing her son instead of taking extra care of him??

@@Wandasolosurfavs And she dint say anything he wanted to say something and stop, because she couldnt say anything to make things better, a Forgive me would have better, but in the end that dint happened

@@Wandasolosurfavsi agree, dudley is much more redeemable than petunia because he was raised by them to behave that way and has only recently reached an age where he would start questioning and making decisions for himself, while she was a grown ass adult when her orphaned nephew was left in her care and she not only allowed but actively participated in his abuse for nearly two decades.

I totally agree!

True but some of these were before the conversations with Sirius. I think it just makes sense. The element of Gryffindor is fire, their common room has many fires. When you see a fire and you are in a thinking mood, you naturally gravitate towards it. It seems repetitive but I think it's realistic.

Giant Spiders

Well, mosquitos exist, and I'm sure Hagrid is smashing those on impact.

Definitely this! He'd just be like ello little fella and smile

@@TheHomerowKeys a bird and a mosquito (a pest/insect ) are two entirely different things lol

yes! And not just big creatures, remember in the books he also mends bowtruckle's legs

They actually could have gotten away with some comment letting him know who they were just as the elevator door closed without any real damage to the plan.

@@Rhewtani in the books Harry whispers to Arthur that the ministry was keeping close tabs on him and his family and that he wasn't safe, trying to give mr Weasley a heads up. But instead Mr Weasley took it as a threat and got pissed since he didn't know it was harry as Runcorn.

I think it was shown a little bit when Tom was explaining about Ginny to Harry in COS

@@user-br4ms5vs2x ooo... then maybe I don't know what I'm talking about ^^'

Yikes

PETA would’ve been mad about that one.

tbf the series has some pretty morbid stuff in it too. The books especially so

No honestly it was so damn adorable, his sassiness just makes him even more likeable considering his circumstances

I don't think it's deleted bc I watched Harry potter on some random free movies site and it kepth the scene

@@Filipsplaying Some site have the extended versions of the films that keep in some of the deleted scenes. Chamber of Secrets, for example, has an extended version that adds in scenes like Ernie talking with the Hufflepuffs about Harry being the Heir of Slytherin. Philosopher's Stone also has one and one of those scenes is that "elephant skin" scene.

​@@Pachiidesuon moviesmod I remember 1 and 2nd movie have extended cuts its completely free to download

I think he did himself dirty 🥱

I haven't read the books in years, but wasn't the Dudley arc with Harry basically him being a bully to Harry (1-4), to him being afraid of Harry (5), to him flat-out avoiding/not acknowledging Harry (6), to him respecting/accepting Harry (7)?

Yes! Do it movie flame!

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.

If you have a lot on your mind staring at or into something help makes things clearer. I stare at fire from time to time just watching the flames and seeing the coals change.

That was just b roll that fans found it wasn’t deleted. And it’s interesting that you like it because I despise it and am so glad they didn’t put it in. It literally goes against everything Draco’s character arc put forth and would have changed his character in a way I don’t like. It just fed into the Draco obsessed girls that fantasized about him in ways that the story never even close to telling about him. Just my opinion but thanks for sharing I love hearing other fans thoughts

​@@MovieFlame How would it have changed his character? Draco showed much remorse and some sympathy throughout the last three movies for his actions. He also didn't tell the others about Harry when Harry had a deformed appearance. Also when he was called out by his parents to join the other side, he looked reluctant. Throwing his wand to Harry would have fit his story. I don't see how it wouldn't.

@@nessajade5107 I’,m glad you asked! 1. It completely changes Draco's character, he was described as a huge coward who doesn't care about anyone but himself and his family, running and throwing Harry a wand made it look like like he cared about him, while that was never the case. The only reason he didn’t say it was Harry was because he didn’t want them to call Voldemort to them because he was terrified of him. 2. It is opposite to what happened in the books, the last time we saw him during the battle, he’s is running towards death eaters shouting he was on their side. 3. It doesn't make sense… Draco threw Harry a wand that he didn't have…Harry already took his wand in Malfoy manor, so he was using his mothers, and he lost that in the room of requirement after he was disarmed and the place was set on fire. He didn’t have a wand to give 4. Draco's character was never supposed to be redeemed in the movies or the books, JK Rowling herself said "Sometimes a bully is just a bully". She based his character on her bullies and that is exactly why he is in the story: to bully and make the main character's life harder at Hogwarts. There’s no deep story that these Draco fan girls have created online, he’s just a bully who shouldn’t be redeemed. 5.This scene was rightfully cut and not even an after thought for an addition to the movie because it was never released as an official deleted scene, or even talked about by any of the crew or cast, it was just a throw away thought that they scrapped immediately after experimenting…It was never meant to be in the movie, and rightfully so. Fans just found it in a b-roll compilation and the Draco fan girls made sure it went viral because it fit their narrative that Draco is this misunderstood boy

@@MovieFlame I think it's just a matter of opinion. Everyone can have different interpretations on how they view a character. I agree that Draco is a bully. But I also think he is misunderstood. He spent most of the half blood prince, crying and looking depressed. Draco’s deterioration as the stress of his assignment begins to prove too difficult for him to achieve. Dumbledore himself even points out to Draco how little he seems to be trying to achieve his goals toward the end. "Forgive me, Draco, but they have been feeble attempts.… So feeble, to be honest, that I wonder whether your heart has been really in it" He also couldn't bring himself to kill Dumbledore. If he was just a bully with no redeemable qualities, he would have done it. You could argue that he didn't say it was Harry because he was scared, but he also could have done it because he knew it wasn't right. He was also very reluctant to join Volemorts side when his parents called him. Draco did bad things.... but at the end of the day, I personally just think he was a scared teenage boy.. With parents (Especially his Dad) Who were pushing this all on him. I haven't read all of the books yet, but as a movie watcher... i've found that the three last films... just show Draco as a helpless scared child with no choice, not a bully. That's just how he was portrayed in the movies. It may be different in the books. This is just my interpretation from watching the movies. You can feel differently.

@@nessajade5107 I didn’t read all of your comment, just the top, but it’s not a matter of opinion when the author of the series intended it the way I said it

That wand-throwing scene makes no sense tho 🤷🏼‍♀️ for Draco's redemption I would have preferred if he was destroying the diadem in the room of requirement not Goyle with his accident fiendfyre (as for the book goes) 🙅🏻‍♀️

@@timimaksai8081 but how would he know the diadem was to be destroyed? horcruxes nature is a secret shared by only a few

I first saw the movies on SCFY and never realized that they were deleted scenes

Therefore they weren't deleted. More like exclusive scenes from the extended versions, like the Blu-ray version

That happened in Mexico when they were aired in Cartoon Network, and i just knew about it right now.

Yea I watched them all on peacock for the first time and was so confused by this list so I looked at the comments

@@viniciusmarques9964 Are you new to movies? Deleted scenes means it wasn't in theaters. It's common for there to be other versions after release. Seriously, are you like an alien?

Bro i thought i was crazy thank you

Right, I was watching this saying "ive seen a lot of these scenes but its on the tv versions lol

If I'm not wrong there WERE extended editions released on DVD for the first two films. Haven't seen them but I know they exist

You have your wish 😊

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.

​@@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.

@@joez833 this

@@anna-5104 "cared for harry" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

@@wholethedogsout880 "cared for" meaning giving him a place to stay, giving him food and stuff, not actually caring deeply lol. She was still horrible.

Same!! I was just wondering this. I remember the egg scene and the "bits of elephant skin" part so clearly, but when I paid for the movies through a streaming service it never came! I was beginning to think I had dreamt those scenes😂

Oh wow, there are extended versions of the movies?! Never knew that, I only ever knew about the Lord of the Rings Extended versions. Cool.

Yeah well, in the book he thinks that but doesn't say it.
