I never thought when I released this video that it would be watched a quarter of a million times. It brings me such joy to read all your comments. Thank you to everyone for sharing your love for the Harry Potter series with me!

I don’t care so much about the Petunia scene, but cutting the Dudley scene was a crime. Yes, he was a mean kid, but he was raised by mean parents, seeing them abuse Harry and believing it was ok. When he grew up he started thinking for himself and this is such a great character development and they just cut it … Also Draco throwing Harry the wand, that’s a scene of only one or two seconds, there was NO need to cut it.

I don't understand why did they deleted Dudley's redemption!! "i don't think you are a waste of space" this has me sobbing

Normal redemptions in movies: saves lives Redemption in Harry Potter: Maybe you aren’t a waste of space.

"I'm just a waste of space, isn't that right Vernon?" Nice to see Harry taking his final chance to take a dig at the person who caused him so much pain over the years

Fun fact: when Dudley grew up and had a kid the kid became a wizard and Dudley didnt know what to do so he went to harry and ginny for help

i heard the kid who played dudley lost so much weight that he wore a fat suit in this scene. his real names harry too

This literally made me cry. An actual genuine smile. Kinda cute :0

I don’t know what’s worse. The directors taking out Draco’s redemption, or taking out Dudley’s redemption. Probably both.

They took out all the redemption scenes I don’t get why

I’m crying. I’ve never seen this scene. Didn’t know it existed until today. Wow

When Dudley closed the door to go to Harry, he looked at his father with defiance, as if saying "I'm not gonna be like you anymore". And when he stepped towards Harry, he walked with a purpose. This proved to me that Dudley had some good in him, that if given the chance, Harry and him could have been good friends.

I think the Dudley scene shows that he really did care about Harry. They had a brotherly relationship obviously because well they were raised together although it's made out that they hated each other. you can see that Vernon thinks it's like they'll leave and be back soon and Harry will live with them again. Petunia on the other hand has known the risks and is sure that Harry will Die. Dudley knows the danger is well. He genuinely grew a liking for Harry and thought that leaving him was completely mad and unfair. Hermoine's scene with her parents is obviously heady breaking and so is Ron's with Arthur. Ron knows how worried his dad is and just wants everything to be OK.

"you didn't just lose a mother. I lost a sister" me: awwww "i don't think you're a waste of space" me: about to cry "see ya big d" me: sobbing my heart out

OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe Petunia would say such a thing! 1:52 "You didn't just loose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, I lost a sister." She said a nice thing, for once, and not to Dudley or Vernon, to, Harry Potter...The one she said was abnormal and weird...I can't believe I just heard that...

The saddest for me was Hermione erasing herself from her parents memories

And the best part is after 19 years Harry and Dudley still kept in touch along with their children.

“You didn’t just lose a mother that night in godrics hollow you know. I lost a sister.” Thats a great line. Really shows there was more than meets the eye with the dursleys. And dudley showing a touch a love was great too. Would’ve loved if those scenes stayed in but i get why they didn’t

This is a five minute long scene, and there is SO much rich character growth in it. Yes, Dudleys redemption, but also the scene showing Arthur working on the radios so the members of the order can stay in touch, knowing his son will likely be on the run soon too? Petunias facial expressions when she stands in the living room and sits in the car? Dudley awkwardly shuffling back to the car while Vernon watches in bewilderment? These moments tell us so much about the characters and it's criminal to get rid of them :(

They literally deleted Draco and Dudley's redemptions, and it pissed me off

It's been fourteen years since the book released, ten since the movie, and I still cry like a baby for these characters. Rowling may be controversial now but she was right when she said, "Whether you come back by page, or by big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." 🥺🥺

The way Dudley walked away super awkward was so perfect given the countless amount of years and times he was a giant prick to Harry, but finally when all comes to serious shit he realizes it. At least he tried to be a good cousin for once lol

i didn’t know this scene existed.i’m crying the shut outta me

Life Lesson: most of the people who are the antagonists in your own story are not actually bad people at heart and may well have been your good friend in other circumstances.

Anyone else notice the crack in Harry’s voice when he said “see ya Big D.”

Wow I think this is the kindest Dudly has ever been to Harry

Not just Dudley,Petunia also acknowledged her sister and showed that deep down she didn’t only hate Lilly. It still makes me sad to hear ”I lost a sister”,too bad they did cut important things like that.

It was the music that made this opening a real tear jerker 😢

I would totally understand if the movie's couldn't include books scene's which were hard to edit or was just difficult , Adding Magic or any problem but scenes like this Dudley Character Improvement and many more small details should be in the movie's l mean it was already shooted what was the point of deleting it ? I'll be always mad at them for not adding this scene also ruining Hinny relationship and Ruining the Torture scene of Hermione , Ron did so much on the book during that scene , movie showed none of it

I seriously think Fiona Shaw gave the most heart wrenching performance in these scenes. It’s a shame she only had a few lines and in the final cut it was reduced to her just sitting in the car

Ugh. Why. WHY DID THEY LEAVE THIS SCENE OUT?!?!

"I don't think you're a waste of space..." "Thanks" I know but that was priceless

The Petunia scene is very touching in a way because the Dursley’s strong aversion to magic seems to make alot more sense. She lost a sister to the magic world, it’s not wonder she hated it.

I was literally teary... feels like they finally understands harry's worth..

Every time i watch these deleted scenes, they make me cry like a baby Thank you so much for posting these scenes!

Hermione erasing her parent's memories was one of the saddest things here.

Fun Fact: The films actually had Hermione use the wrong charm to modify her parents memories. The obliviate charm is irreversible so instead she used a charm that created false memories that was reversible so after the war was over she found them and restored their memories

I wish they kept all this in as it would explain a lot. Plus shows a genuine emotion with Harry and the Dursley’s like in the book.

Why would they want to take all the emotional and heart warming stuff that we have been waiting to see since the beginning out???

1:57 Glad she didn’t say she lost a freak of a sister. Until now she’s been the real freak

0:08 Hermione has a beautiful voice

I don't care what Rowling thinks or does, but this series right here is a masterpiece. I grew up with it, I read all the books, watched all the movies and played all the games (yep will be getting Hogwarts legacy as well). This series will always have a special place in my heart.

“See ya big D”

The Dursley's departure scene (and Dudley's bit) in the book is clearly more fleshed out and emotional and fitting that into this movie would've been counter productive to run time as it was split in two parts already. But how they did this little scene to do justice to the books but didn't even add it in to the movie is absolutely criminal!!!

I forgot just how much pain Hermione was in that she had to obliviate her parents to keep them safe.

This was a pivotal scene they left out of the theatrical release. It essentially shows the reader-audience the Dudley was spoiled by circumstance and understood Harry saved his life several years prior. We get to see Dudley actually think for himself and grow up in this very short scene.

am I the only who loosing my shit over how Dudley stares down Vernin as he steps over the fence thing?

I can't believe they've deleted Dudley's mother scene, it was perfect for the movie, absolutely perfect!

This Dudley scene where he asks why Harry isn't going with them is actually in the book so I don't know why they cut this screne out....

Is it me or was the dialog between the aunt and harry really really good. It was almost a small pinch of empathy for harry.

Dudley's redemption is amazing. Really shows that Dudley wasn't a bad kid and just had bad parents. Unfortunately I think this scene was filmed and acted poorly and that is why it was cut.

If they didn't delete this scene I would've been bawling my eyes out at the beginning of the movie 💀

Dudleys Scene is so important... especially considering, that his kids were magic and he told them, that if they ever needed help, they could just go to the ministry and ask for Harry Potter... He changed so much.

I was so happy they included this scene in the film. For so many years they successfully made us fans absolutely despise the Dursley’s but I’m happy out of all of em it was Dudley that stuck out the olive branch.

I love this scene! For Dudley to question his dad is pure cousin respect. Gawd, why cut this scene!?? Not the best decision...

This legit made my heart ache. I’ve been wanting to see this for so long now. They finally accepted Harry for once... excluding possibly Vernon.

I was expecting Dudley and Harry to hug each other in that scene.

I just found out about this deleted scene and after watching it, I was crying. Not having that in the movie is a travesty.

Awwww WTF! 😭😭😭 I NEVER SEEN THIS. I'm crying.

I've never seen Dudley being so kind.

4:32 petunia knows what kind of power harry is up against

I luv duh bit where Dudley just looks at his father and just steps over the chain 🤭

The music was too damn loud

Beautifully put together ❤

It’s the fact they had to erase themselves from their lives from their parents to fight back and they couldn’t go back to their lives

4:14 the bit of sadness in Harry’s voice. Either that or he’s mentally laughing at Dudley’s old nickname.

rewatching for the millionth time and i’ll never understand why they cut dudley’s scene there. It adds so much to the heartbreak of the moment. Hermione is literally removing herself from her parents memories, but not her parents from hers. Ron’s nervous for his family and lowkey keeping watch outside for anything bad. This would have been much better than just petunia’s butthurtness about leaving home.

The opening scene ended up just giving a glimpse of the Dursley's and after watching this I hate that they didn't add that scene because it would've showed how Dudley wasn't so heartless after all.

bro this scene is amazing why didn't they put it here

I haven't seen this version of the film but I might add that the door slam noise could serve as a great transition between the Dursley's and Weasley's shed scene

Dudley: I don't think you're a waste of space. Me: Wow...great scene. Why would they cut it out? Harry: Big D. Me: Oh...

Im glad the Dursleies have moved home. A Change is as good as a rest.

These are really cool extra scenes, the radios foreshadowing Ron always listening to one, Harry's "family" actually caring, etc. But it really messed up the flow and the timing of the music, which is absolute perfection in the theatrical opening scene.

i feel like ever since harry saved dudley from the dementors, dudley has wanted to tell him something like this, but always been too afraid to because of vernon. the way he looks back at vernon to see if he'll stop him is really telling in that manner

Keep uploading please I miss JJ edits

They really should have kept this in the original release, it's honestly perfect.

I am crying right now these scenes make me feel so sad 😭😭😭

WE NEEDED THIS SCENE

"Honey, why do we have so many empty picture frames?" "No idea, leave them, we won't need them in Australia"

I forgot how epic this intro was

Te quedó genial bro. Felicidades

Shows the regret that Dudley had bullying Harry all those years

Thank you 🙏🏽

It just makes me cry😭

I think this redemption scene hits rlly hard because the dudleys never rlly thought there'd be any dangers after that one time. But now that they know theres actual danger, aunt petunia probably feels like she could fr lose someone close to her sister. And dudley rlly matured up and realized how horrible he was

It’s like all three of them knew bad was coming there way.

Did anyone notice that when Harry asked Uncle Vernon if he was a waste of space, he stayed silent for a moment before he got in the car. Vernon was thinking “Damn, I’ve been such a sick to my nephew for his whole life and this may be the last time I ever see him.” This should’ve stayed in the movie because it showed how through the 10 year journey, Vernon grew to realize he was such a Jerk and now he may never see Harry again. I just thought I’d point this out because this is a great detail and when I first caught that, I almost cried

When Harry asked if he was a waste of space to Vernon, I genuinely think that Uncle Vernon wanted to say no.

You can see that on Dudley's face there is some regret for all the hurtful things he said and done to Harry

Seeing the Dursley's leave Privet Drive was so sad.

nice recap lovd it

This was soooo sad even if i have watched these parts soo many times😢😢😢😢...and the "see you big d" had me in tearsssss

This should have been there..... Ohh my goodness I 'm in tears

These scenes are golden and should be included maybe in an extended cut

This is much better then the official version. so much deeper

I wish they didn't cut out the scene with Petunia and Dudley. In a way, they were able to look past Harry being a wizard and see him as a person who's always cared regardless of how he was treated.

awesome compilation! I loved this so much, it encapsulates so much of the pain and sacrifice in these scenes (the music was a bit loud at times, especially during Petunia's and Dudley's scene, but I can understand youtube copyright may raise hell if that wasn't the case, but then again, they may raise double hell for having those scenes AND music... so perhaps I have no clue what I'm talking about.)

Omg this is so good

This made me cry

I loved the Dudley redemption scene I teared up and almost had an anxiety attack haha
