19 Facts From Harry Potter Books That Were Never Mentioned In The Movies And Every Fan Should Know Them
It’s natural to think that when you’re translating a book into a movie, something will eventually get cut. More often than not, the films cut out a lot of what the books spend heaps of time setting up for the reader.
This was, of course, inevitable in the Harry Potter series. You know, Harry Potter, the wizard with the scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead? Yeah, the movies left out a lot of context and subplots.
Throughout the seven books, there’s a number of facts and scenes that are never mentioned in the movies that the fandom agrees is a huge shame. The absence of some of these is more significant to the plot than that of others, but, overall, people missed these tidbits in the movies.
Bored Panda has collected some of the best facts in the Harry Potter universe that are mentioned in the books, but were unfortunately not included in the movies. Vote and comment on the ones you like the most in the list below!
Oh, and spoiler alert! Some of the things you’ll read in this article will spoil some things if you haven’t read the books.

House Elves Were Combatants In The Battle Of Hogwarts And Fought Against The Death Eaters
The Battle Of Hogwarts was an epic final battle in the Second Wizarding War that included a bunch of combatants. One particular group of fighters was never shown in the movies, particularly the house elves who came rushing out of the kitchen, brandishing knives and fighting the Death Eaters.

I wish they put this in the movie. It helped show that the house elves arent inherently weak and submissive and that they can fight if they need to. ALSO IT IS TOO SOON TO SHOW ME DOBBY

Probably because the visual effects bill was already tremendous, adding a complete cgi army of house elves would be too much.

Before Severus Snape Kills Dumbledore, Dumbledore Paralyzes Harry And Throws The Invisibility Cloak On Him
Before Snape said the decisive words—Avada Kedavra, the killing curse—Dumbledore actually cast an immobilizing spell on Harry and threw the invisibility cloak on him so that he’d not intervene and not be seen by anyone in the Astronomy Tower. Unlike in the movie, where Harry just stood on the lower floor and stared.

Harry Didn’t Break The Elder Wand—he Actually Returned It To Dumbledore’s Tomb
In The Deathly Hallows, Harry is seen breaking the Elder Wand and tossing it out. In the books, however, Harry returns the Elder Wand to Dumbledore’s tomb. It’s said that nobody apart from Harry could actually use it at this point, and he’s had enough adventures with it for this lifetime. Besides, originally, it was Dumbledore’s wand in the first place.

Snape Actually Called Lily Potter A “Mudblood” During Snape’s Worst Memory
Some people are of the conviction that what makes Snape’s Worst Memory the worst one is the fact that he is bullied by the Marauders. However, it is actually the fact that he, in the heat of the moment, calls Lily, his love interest, a “mudblood,” for which Lily never forgave him.

Unlike the movies, this WAS shown in A Very Potter Sequel, a fanmade musical by Team Starkid that was also a sequel to A Very Potter Musical, which was made by the same company. This is another reason why imo AVPM, AVPS, and AVPSY are better adaptations of the books than the movies, even if they're parody.

At one point, Dudley was attacked by the Dementors and Harry saved him. He ended up thanking Harry and shaking his hand when the Order of the Phoenix was escorting the Dursleys into hiding.

Rita Skeeter Is An Unregistered Animagus Who Would Transform Into A Beetle To Collect Information
Rita Skeeter is a journalist for the Daily Prophet and an unregistered Animagus who would often turn into a beetle and snoop around to learn people’s secrets for her articles. This is never mentioned in the movies, but there are speculations of it being hinted at in The Goblet Of Fire when Skeeter conducts an interview with Harry and as she shoves him into a broom cupboard, she says “you should feel right at home, then,” possibly meaning that she knows Harry used to live in a cupboard under the stairs. The only way she could have known that is by listening to anyone who knew about it and mentioned the fact.

In The Movies, Nobody Ever Tells Harry That His Dad Could Turn Into A Stag

I was so mad. It was the most crucial part! The Whomping Hollow was placed only for Lupin. They couldn't be as humans around Lupin. They became unofficial animagi. Pettigrew could do transform in their 5th year? Pettigrew as a rat would touch the knot and there by Lupin goes right into Shrieking Shack. Due to all the adventures and exploring they did as animagi - They created the Marauders' Map. Harry should know - who transforms into what and their nicknames. Without that, how will he know that stag is his father's form/father? And later realization that dad is inside him and it was he who cast patronus and why it took stag form!

The 2 kids who lost their parents, Harry and Tom Riddle. Both grew up in situations where they were not loved and in fact borderline mistreated. But, as Dumbledore pointed out to Harry, the difference lay in the way each structured his life afterwards. Harry gravitated towards love and friendship while Tom Riddle sought only power over others. They grew to be very different men. It was not their choice to be orphaned, but it was their choice to become the person that they each did become. For that reason, Voldemort is to be pitied, but not excused.

I want to say to her shhhhhhhhhh, no one actually wants to hear from you. They just want another book of equal quality.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. The movies are fine, great, enjoyable! I love the movies. Most of the time they do a pretty good job expressing the book even. However, unless you read the books, you CAN'T fully appreciate the series because there are so many minor details, foreshadowing, and character development that they had to leave out. I get that they can't make a 500+ page book into a decent length movie without leaving some stuff out, but if you really want to get all the good stuff about Harry Potter, read the books.

HEAR, HEAR! I've always thought it would be great to make HP into a television series with each book being one season of the series. They could go into so much more depth that way.

They left so much stuff out of the movies, and sometimes not even for reasonable time constraints that will happen for any book to movie adaptation. They often wasted it for stupid action scenes like that dragon chase in part 4.

I agree! I would also like to add... The fourth film was the worst! It just feels like they tried to cram in so much and things just jump from one scene to the next without any flow. Also, the hair. Why was everyone's hair such a mess?!
