Top 35 Darkest Moments LEFT OUT of the Films - Harry Potter Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing BOOKS vs FILMS - honing in on some of the darkest BOOK moments that, for varying reasons, simply never made their way onto the silver screen.
While the film adaptations brought the magic of Hogwarts to life on the big screen, they were not without their limitations. In the process of adapting the complex and intricate world of the books into a more visually-driven medium, certain dark and unsettling moments were omitted or altered, leaving fans with a somewhat diluted version of Rowling's original vision.
These were moments so dark that (in the case of some) they had to be removed in order to keep the film’s PG rating down.
Today, we’ll delve into these dark moments left out of the films, exploring the reasons behind their omissions and the impact of these changes on the overall story.
This is a compilation style video but I’ve also included an ADDITIONAL part 4.

The twins did not intend to torture anyone. The cabinet had been broken by Peeves the year or two before. They did know it was broken, but not what it would do. Rita was only in the jar for a few days. Hermione made sure she was safe inside. Greyback’s true worst trait was his attacking children and eating humans. He is the one who attacked Remus Lupin at the age of 5.
This video is click bait. Those don’t even look like Fred and George, with the weird filters. I thought they were Molly’s twin brothers, the Prewitts.
I can’t stand videos like this one.
Still. Putting someone in a broken magical object not knowing what the consequence will be, to me, seems more problematic than putting someone into a working or broken magical object knowing exactly what the consequence will be. Also, "not intending to” gets you far but rarely absolves you complete from a crime.
"I did not intend for him to die in a car crash when forcing him to drive a broken car" really wouldn't hold up.
@@ruud9761 it wasn’t the nicest thing to do, but it was a bit of self defense, especially when you remember all the evil tortures Umbridge used on students. Fred and George had already been hit with her cruelty, so I can say I blame them all that much. Shove an evil bully into a broke object to prevent yourself for getting some unknown evil punishment. If someone attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself. Umbridge was looking for any excuse to attack Harry and his friends.
@@MythStarFire Their reasoning was losing a points for the stupid house contest. That is the MOST stupid and pathetic reasons for wanting to see what random harm can be done to a person by trapping them in a magical object. Then again they tried to trap Percy in an allegedly de-cursed pyramid so it is RIGHT up their alley for wanting to harm if not kill a person for stupid reasons.
Yea non of that is torture........of course.
Some facts about the films -
- Helena Bonham Carter apologized profusely multiple times to Emma Watson during the torture scene, hugged her, and asked if she was okay multiple times.
- The reason Daniel Radcliffe’s screams were muted during the scene where Sirius black dies is because Daniel Radcliffe lost a family member in real life and he was grieving over it. The screams were surreal to the point where both Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter cried
I've been there when my grandma died... Felt like the world stopped
Hermione should have taken Rita the beetle to the ministry and turned her in. Whatever happened to her after that would have been well deserved
She should have done that after order of the phoenix, because of Hermione threatening Rita Skeeter they brought out Harry's story about how Voldemort returned to the public through the quibbler. Because it was Rita Skeeter that interviewed him (basically a very well known writer for the daily prophet) more people started to believe harry's side of the story which was essential for both parents and students to prepare against voldemort.
When Harry used the cruciatus curse, it was when the Carrows' went to attack McGonagall. I think that really made an affect on Harry - it's not a darker trait per se, but more from protecting a maternal figure who has protected Harry for many years. The enjoyment of doing it, like with Bellatrix, is what makes it dark. There is an element of human Psyche that they do things that are perceived dark out of love or protection of a person or thing. I mean, who hasn't thought 'I'd kill anyone who'd hurt my mum/child/beloved pet'?
When Harry reacted to Minervabeing spat on like that, JK Rowling made a lot of people feel very good about where she took Harry.
Agreed. It’s like watching Anakin break down after his mother dies in front of him after a month of torture, just hoping to see him one last time. I’d bet most people criticizing it would go apeshit (unless their mother was terrible lmao)
I think it still clearly qualifies as a dark moment, though. He’s quite literally using an unforgivable curse which is dark magic by definition. If somebody spat on you in the real world and you tortured them you would go to “Azkaban.”
@@samcotten2485 That's why I compared it to killing someone in the real world. Like most people generally don't go round wanting to kill or torture someone, but everyone can have that out of character moment. It is dark, but for most people it's triggered by something bad, not just enjoyment.
Hopefully some of these moments will appear in the HBO series, which finally have its director and screenwriter
I hope so too!
as long as they follow the books as the source material and not just try to replicate the movies, it should be a success
@@ayubious hopefully
God I hope Hermione doesn’t get so much favoritism in the series
i though it was literally meant to be a page by page adaptation? or is that wrong?
My initials are RAB. My kids were incredibly excited about that than anything since.
@rebeccabiddix6319 same here. Although I'm single, but my brother, sister, mom and dad were excited about the initials revealed to be R.A.B.
Cheers!
Is this English?
Um... Sorry, but that's kind of cool.
I hate that people credit Peter’s death as an act of heroism which isn’t the case. He didn’t do it for love or respect he was simply paying a debt back for Harry not letting Sirius kill him
Agreed, bit that on itself indicates a form of nobility. He felt an obligation to repay the debt, which he did not have to do.
@@horseradishpower9947 oh no I fully agree that it is a form of nobility and he 100% didn’t have to but I also think he gets to much credit for it because it wasn’t out of love or respect. I think it’s more so the people who act like Peter cared about Harry like Peter wasn’t the one who told Voldemort where to kill Harry at in the first place. I probably should have worded it a tad bit better
@robertritter8444 it was an inkling, an ember. Had Peter lived, he might have had a slow path to redemption.
I don't think he was ever particularly heroic, just eager to be at the seat of power, whatever it may be. He had a weak character.
@@horseradishpower9947So did Gollum and he saved the world.

"A fate worse than death.....being expelled?"
I love how at 17:28 you had to show us what a jar looks like 😂
I noticed that but really didn’t think anything about it … until I saw this comment ~ now I see how funny it is 😂
crucial detail
I’m pretty sure at least one of the reasons they didn’t include these was to keep a pg/pg-13 rating.
Wow this was a nice video to see in my notification.I don’t know what to comment for the algorithm but hopefully some of these moments get added to the HBO series whenever that comes out
When thinking of Winky and Dobby, if we keep to true lore, it's the House Elf (Brownie or Hob) that selects the family they'll serve, not the wizard selecting the elf. I imagine that in both cases, it was a huge shock that they were both treated the way they were, especially in Dobby's case, after the fact.
Similar to cats then?
With Winky I believe her mother served the family before she did. So generations of house elves stay with the same family, possibly.
Could definitely be a miniseries
So when Wind Rose wrote, "One mug filled with mead till the morning, TOO MUCH FOR AN ELF," they weren't kidding.
I really do reckon that these will be in the TV version with the new director and new screenwriter will be working with JK Rowling work and vision
I certainly hope so!
@@HarryPotterTheory totally 💯 😄👍
That would be delicious.
It's video refresh my memory about harry potter books 📚. It's been many years.
Loved the reading of the passages in the books. Felt like I was listening to an audiobook and loved it. Would listen to all the books narrated by you.
Stephen Fry does solid job though.
Molly W is awesome 😊
She’s a bit too overbearing
One thing to keep in mind in the 5th book and movie is that Harry’s emotions are being affected by Voldemort so his anger isn’t all his
The last two books. He had to wear the horcrux, which affected all of them when they wore the locket.
Always love your vids, keep up the great work!
Well, that was dark. Detailed and dark. Thanks for putting this together. I feel I glossed over the depth of these moments when I read the books.
the even darkest parts is that Greyback was gaycoded, so he being a predator, specially for children, is even more disturbing and hurtfull. also the fact that the werewolf virus was based on HIV, something that JKR has comfirmed herself.
the fact that the Deadthly Hollows`s simbol was the wizarding world`s zwastika; that was the reason Krumb lashed out on Mr Lovegood at BIll and Fleur`s wedding. and then complitly brushed off when Dumbledore made Harry choose between becomin a thyrant worse than Voldemort or keep the status quo.
the fact that nothing changed after Voldemort`s defeat. everything went to normal, just with out the potential treath of an evil uprising. there still exist class divide, house elves`s slavery and goverment corruption.
the crimes of the elite deatheaters were unpunished. there were little to no consequences for the Malfoy family, at all.
Yeah, that in the end not much changed is one of the darkest and more realistic parts of the story. I like happy endings as much as anyone else but oftentimes it seems contrived that every injustice is resolved and from now on there is no more discrimination, hatred and corruption in the world. That is not how societies work. If for example the house elves were a big player in voldemorts defeat and tried to leverage this earned respect and goodwill to better their position it could be possible that for example their situation would have changed. Is that in line with what we know what the house elves would most likely do in such an scenario? Definitely not. It is also quite likely that Voldemorts second rise to power even worsened the racism against Werewolves and giants for example since again, some of them fought for the dark lord.
It wouldn‘t be realistic that suddenly all the racism vanished and would in my opinion even disregard the actual hard fights activists and human rights movements endured in our world, which makes it shallow at best.
As a side note: the werewolf curse in Harry potter is really not different in what it does to what you would expect from 99% of fantasy novels. I do not think that it is wise to throw all forms of infectious curses or infectious evil entities under the „This is an HIV allegory and therefore problematic“ bus. This lashing out just provokes simple fans of the genre to see themselves or things they love as under attack.
@@Aufsammelkabblerto your side note...JK Rowling confirmed that Lupin's lycanthropy was meant to be a metaphor for HIV
❤ Awesome as always thanks
Fudge deserves an eternity of crucio…
Get rid of the goofy grin on the thumbnails. 👎
This is brilliant! To me, most of what Harry learns through memories in the pensieve about Voldemort, was really dark. Including the whole thing about the Gaunt family and awful treatment of Merope.
Although, I don't think that Harry realising how to use an unforgivable curse meant that he had turned dark, because even the best and nicest people in the world have some tendancy towards destructiveness. The trick is in mastery of it, which Harry was beginning to learn.
You say these were cut to maintain the PG rating, but to be fair none were really necessary to the plot overall. It was clearly much more of a lack of time issue
The thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
With Barty Crouch Jr. it wasn’t immediately obvious that he is guilty, at his first trial. JK left it to the reader to make up their own mind. It made his story even darker. Until the end, when he really confirmed that he is a psychopath indeed.
The bit with Mollys boggart always gets me. Especially in light of what happens later. Even in her worst fears/nightmares, she didn't see the twins separated. At least when she saw them dead they were together. So it just makes Fred's death even sadder
How Old this "moments" are.... 😢
Meanwhile i read the books, grow up, work, find love, make Babies and now my 1st child is reading the chamber of the Secrets 😢..... I hope we get some new stuff😢
Doesn't Nick mention at some point that if you become a ghost you can't undo that choice, you'll stick around forever, whether you want to or not?
Ariana Dumbledore became an obscurial after she was traumatised, they usually die quite young and have sudden outbursts (as seen in Fantastic Beasts with Aurelius) which killed Kendra. Just a little added point from me :) ⚡️
39:28 yep, he was SIRIUSLY demented
41:00 so he got expelled?
A technical suggestion: adjust your audio settings for less low end and more high end and speak further away from the mic.
The worst part is that to most of us who are watching this, we already already know 99%-100% of all this.
Know I'm not alone with these books being a comfort space.
Lol maybe it's more for me due to typical issues (lol unless I'm the lone potter nerd who's ended up in prison) but yea, I know other people know every detail presented here plus more lol
Greyback was not a DE! What are you talking about?! But I do agree he is a savage. He is far worse villain than Tom himself. I can understand why Barty Jr. hated his father. His father literally mentally abused him he was so evil. He got the ending he deserved. It made sense to cut Bertha Jorkins out. The only thing they needed to do is to say what happened to her in details and that's it. Overall cutting most of these moments was a severe crime against the books. I hope that the show will fix it.
Pseudo death eater is what he says, meaning almost a death eater. Which most people who watch the movie assume all followers of Voldy are death eaters, this clarified he is not
@@GraciiGram I never heard the word "Pseudo" in the video. I will re-watch. I fell for this misconception before. I watched the movies before reading the books.
Wasnt the torture of the Roberts family covered in the movie but just not clearly referenced?(Like it happened but wasnt explained?)
Lets see the cabinet. if i remember correctly the cabinet was broken afther the twins pushed him inside by the poltergist droping it (headless nick convinced him to do it and the reason why nick did it was to distract ubridge and the cartaker because she was attempting to use the truth serum on him, this was not known but nick knew harry had not done anything and wanted to get him out of that room and was probably aware what she had been doing while dumbledoor was stil at the school and was afraid what she might do to harry with dumbldedoor no longer at the school. the inquisitor thingy was revealed the morning or later in the day the day afther dumbledoor was forced to leave the school and the twins said they pushed the guy inside and the cabinet would have been destroyed afther that unless i remember wrongly.
@@deb4762 ah i remberd wrong guess it was the twins that did something to get harry out of umbridges office
@@deb4762 ah ty its not easy to remember all the events exact placement when there is years since you read all the books last hehe
Is no one gonna talk about fred and george in the thumbnail 😂
They can make such a dark version of the early Wizarding World I don't know why they don't
The Gaunt shack should have been in the movies. Instead of all the teenage romance. They should have given Voldy’s past more attention.
Twins, WTF!!! Montague was never the same I'm sure😢😢😢
The twins were bullies, they had fun but not their victims, just like the Marauders.
Well you can Google what centaurs tend to do to their prisoners to get an idea of what happened to Umbridge.
fun vid!
I've never understood Harry: why did voldemort need me to get this
Bellatrix: you dare use his name YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD
Voldemort is a half blood not pure what the hell?
Voldemort was very ashamed of that fact and likely never told anyone else
Like. Twin. Weasley
Someone should start making book-accurate movies 😂
Barty deserved every year of the curse!! Are you crazy ?!? He KNEW his son couldn’t be cured and without that curse would kill him anyway! 🙄 Naw…NO SYMPATHY !! He Father’s only mistake was letting his wife manipulate him into the PLAN and not turning him over! 😖
They. Are. Funny. Wizard
Hopefully the HBO remakes won't be as bad as the Amazon's Lord of the rings series
Like turn her into a Werewolf?
For the algorithm
The movie's are never as good as the book 📚 no matter what franchise ❤
Uncle. Charles. Lee. Ray. Hi. Draco. Malfoy. Meet. Some. Day
They couldn't put everything into the movies; otherwise they'd be several hours long.
😂
In. Love. With. Emma. Watson. Kiss me. Julie
I know you probably didn't realize this, but your comment is kinda creepy.
👍👍👍
The book is always better than the movie.
👍
Charity's death was meaningless in the movie, we'd never seen her before, don't recall even hearing her name in any movie.
It is not meaningless, though. It paints a realistic picture of corruption and what happens to whistle blowers who seek to expose it.
:)
Getting a bit fed up of coming on this channel to see the same repurposed videos. Unsubscribed
