The eight Harry Potter films were fantastic adaptations of the beloved books. However, there were still many plot points that had to be excluded for time. The upcoming Harry Potter TV show will have a longer time to include more details from the books, and we’re hoping that means they’ll include these ten things we didn’t get to see fleshed out in the films.
Ron’s Personality
Ron’s character in the films often gets relegated to the comic sidekick instead of the brave, valued, and caring friend he is in the books. Plenty of his lines are often given to Hermione instead, which takes away from Ron’s growth and character development and keeps him in the role of the sidekick. The reboot show is the perfect chance to give Ron the deeper characterization he deserves.
Cleaning 12 Grimmauld Place
Cleaning the Order’s headquarters did take a good chunk of the massive Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so it’s understandable why the filmmakers cut this scene. But this sequence would have also revealed that the trio had discovered Slytherin’s locket before they knew its significance. It’d be nice to see this on screen, along with the interesting hazards presented by magical cleaning (Doxies, anyone?).
and Dumbledore’s Prophecy Explanation, Ginny’s Characterization, Voldemort’s History, Dumbledore’s Funeral, Fred’s Death, Ron and Hermione’s First Kiss, Dumbledore’s Background.
So many good bits were left off in Order of the Phoenix so I’m looking forward to hopefuly hava an adaptation that does it justice. Especially “Have a biscuit, Potter.” scene.
That said, I’d love for them to copy the “Sorry professor, but I must not tell lies” scene as Umbridge is taken by the centaurs. Not from the book but auch a good scene.
