He should've been put in the films, if nothing else than to have this beautiful line: "It unscrews the other way, Peeves."

Goddamn, Rik Mayall as Peeves would have been fucking legendary.

Peeves listening to George and Fred telling him to give Umbrige hell was iconic! I can’t believe he wasn’t in the movies 😂

Shame we never got to see what Rik Mayal was like as Peeves. I would've liked a scene involving Peeves tormenting Filch with lines like "Shan't say nothing if you don't say Please."

What was Chris Columbus thinking? Rik Mayall would've owned Peeves

It’s always a good day when suspect uploads.

I remember when I was a kid, Peeves terrified me. I was playing the PC version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I was at the level when I was practicing the Skurge Spell, and then suddenly Peeves appears. We fought each other, he ran away, and I thought that that was it. It wasn't until later, when I discover a treasure crest during the Diffindo Spell lesson, and I decided to open. AS soon as it opened, Peeves jump scared me and attacked me. Since then, I was terrified to open another chest, cause I was afraid that Peeves was in those treasure chests. And sometimes, I was right. It wasn't until years later, I realized that I could use the Alohomora spell to open the chests at a distance, of which I use that tactic in order to prevent myself from being jump scared by that bastard.

Peeves played a major role. He smashed the vanishing cabinet that Malfoy repairs in Book 6 for the DE to get into the castle. Among other things!

We should sign a petition to get WB to release all deleted scenes in a special extended edition of HP.

4:34 "It's not Spew, it's S-P-E-W" . (Just a quote from Hermione)

I LOVE Rik Mayall. Wish he could have been immortalised in the HP films! When he passed away I was genuinely crushed.

The cutting of Malfoy's redemption haunts me everyday

I Would have liked to see the Weasley twins flying away in the later film with a cut to peeves saluting them

Ah man, Peeves is my favourite from the books and the games and Rik being cast as Peeves is ingenious. I was upset that he was cut off from the films and not in any.

It's a shame Peeves wasn't in the movies, but I love his Hogwarts Legacy design. His voice is funny af too.

This was a brilliant insight into the behind the scenes of the Harry Potter films. Great video Suspect, keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Time to start a petition. Honestly, it'd be a great idea to make extended cuts of every movie. Hell I'm sure they could totally do a rerelease in theaters and people would flock to the screenings so fast!

Curious how Harry Potter video games started out cartoony but switched to realistic designs in the 4th game and onwards.

I’m loving these discussion videos- this and the ‘25 things I hate about movie theatres’ are great additions and I think you should do more of them. Rik Mayall would have been great in HP, I just know it: Hell, maybe for a 20th Anniversary release in 2021 we can get the deleted scenes released. But that’s just wishful thinking.

This was excellent! I didn't know any of this, I'd love to see more videos of this nature.

You’re back praise the lord!!!

Oooh, new format! Cool! Always nice to see a new vid of yours!

Hey Suspect. I think I may have found something interesting relating to Peeves being in the film. According to IMDb for the Philosopher’s Stone, I found this sentence on the trivia page and I’m quoting it: *“The troublemaking poltergeist Peeves (played by Rik Mayall) does not appear in the movie, nor in deleted scenes on any home editions of the film. However he can be seen for a moment in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. When Harry and his friends go to the Gryffindor common room after dinner the first evening. He is seen 'walking through' Dean Thomas. Mayall claimed he didn't find out that he was cut from the film until he saw the movie. Mayall claimed that he was cut because the young actors and actresses kept laughing at his performance.”* Now I am not saying this is 100% legit since IMDb isn’t to be trusted, but i did try and watch the scene this was referring to to see if Peeves does appear and it’s quite hard to spot. Just thought you’d like to know seeing as how this is quite interesting.

Great video mate! One thing I heard from the guides from my recent trip to the Warner Studio tour. They told me he was cut from the film because he kept making everyone laugh. Apparently because of this, they couldn't get any usable footage.

Loved your Rik impressions! Thanks for the video! It answered our question perfectly!

I knew Rick Mayall for my childhood favorite Drop Dead Fred! Too bad his role didn't make it into the HP series.

Awesome! Always excited for your vids and extremely anticipated for your upcoming reviews! Also, Harry Potter just makes my nostalgia bones tickle

I love seeing you put up new content, these videos are fun and I would love to see more of them. I also have begun looking into more of Rik's work, the guy is amazing!

It’s always good to see that you’ve uploaded suspect!

10:27 that was bloody brilliant 😂 thanks for the laugh!!

Let's just say this... if Warner Bros ever release all 8 films as extended editions with all the deleted scenes put in... what else can I say, just take all my money at that point, really hope one day we can see Rik Mayall's scenes

Peeves may not have been important to the mains story in most of the books. But the lack of him on the Order of the Phoenix, when the twins make absolute chaos, and Peeves joins them. That rob a lot o people of a great moment in cinema.

Has it been five years since his passing? Jesus. Fucking love Rik Mayall. RIP 😥

Dude your videos kick ass. Been watching for years. Funny you touch on this too, I was just thinking about the fact that such a reasonably prominent character never made it to the films. Glad you touched on it.

Amazing video thanks for the info

I miss rick mayal I wish he was in the film

@7:10 - I KNEW IT! I knew Ron said something different in that scene. I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid and thinking "Ron's mouth didn't look right in that moment". My parents thought I was crazy.

I was always under the impression that the reason they cut out Peeves and Dobby is probably because they wanted to avoid 2 Jar Jar Binks’.

Can you make a Top 10 list of films you will never review?

I'd love more videos like this! I was so interested in Rik's involvement in the franchise, and have always wished it would be released

I love the idea of doing these types of videos! Keep it up!

*Sees Ross in notifications* This will be interesting. Edit: Peeves was mentioned in a film skit called the Queens handbag.

YES! Im so happy you included the scenes from the games. I always thought the Peeves depiction was rather memorable

I'd love more stuff like this Maybe for games maybe talk about pitches for hypothetical games

Unusual suspect posts in the same week as the new sleepycast is coming out? I am no longer suicidal!

"never plot relevant" Okay, tell that to the Vanishing Cabinet which he interacts with in several scenes including in the Philosopher's Stone. He also drops it, causing it to break and being put into storage in the Room of Requirement.

Dude, you are way better than the Nostaglia Critic!!! All praises on you, Suspect!!!👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I gotta say this mystery footage of Rick’s portrayal as Peeves, reminds me a lot of Doug Lynx’s portrayal as P.T. Boomer from Thomas and the magic railroad.

He upstaged everyone in his scenes. Flash Braveheart...Woof!!!! Perhaps he was too freaking good to make the final edit because the actors on HP couldn't hold a candle to the people's poet?!

9:30 There actually are extended cuts of the first 2 films, included on the wonderful Hogwarts collection boxset, and they’re pretty cool. It’s just bits and pieces here and there, though Chamber of Secrets has some alternate takes too, and yes that means CoS is over 3 hours long in its extended form aha. No Rik Mayall though, he never made it into any of the new stuff. Great video though, always a great day when Suspect uploads!

Great video

This is an incredibly well done video. Im new to the channel but what a great intro!

We need you to do new 2019 Harry Potter reviews lol, you developed your editing techniques so much since the old ones came out

Suspect talking about Harry Potter is again is a surprise but a welcome one to be sure

As someone who's watched this video multiple times and been dying to see rik's scenes, part of me is kinda shocked they didn't try adding peeves to the fantastic beasts movies to make up for the fact that they cut him from the originals, even if he wasn't in the school at point I wouldnt be suprised since those movies seem to be making it up as they go

Thank you for the edited portion of Peeves (Drop Dead Fred) it has made my life

Great Video & I look forward to your future videos! Here are some films you should consider reviewing in the potential future: -Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them -Fantastic Beasts & the Crimes of Grindelwald -The Hobbit Trilogy -Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse -Spiderman: Homecoming -The Original Star Wars Trilogy -Rogue One -Solo: A Star Wars Story -The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi -Star Wars: Clone Wars -The Jurassic Park Trilogy -Jurassic World & Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom -Godzilla (1998) -Godzilla (2014) -Kong: Skull Island (2017)

The Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Set Had Peeves

If only they cast Ade Edmondson as the Bloody Baron alongside Mayall's Peeves.

It still would be cool if Rik's footage got released one day. I also heard that they apparantly shot footage with the other ghosts to use for the first four movies. (Simon Fisher-Becker A.K.A the Fat Friar told this at a panel) Talking about the ghosts, does anyone know if John Cleese actually shot something for Order of the Phoenix, 'cause there was rumour and some news reports, I believe, that said he'd be back for that movie, but he never appeared in it and I wonder if he ever came to set and it was cut or if they intended to film with him, but never got to it.

Nice one mate. Great vid. Always happy when you appear in my sub box!

Hey suspect you talking about Bottom actually got me into the show and I have to say this thank you for introducing me to this show my personal favourite KZfaqr ever

Hey suspect great vid ounce again btw I hope the next review is either Star Wars 4 Spider-Man homecoming or Indiana Jones 2

Awesome video dude you should do funny bits with rik mayall like you did with will smith in ur matrix video

How could you not mention that Rik Mayall played fricking FLASHHEART on BLACKADDER!!! He always stole the show when he was on, even amongst legends like Roman Atkinson and Stephen Fry.

His death hit me hard too and I'd love to see his portrayal of Peeves also Rip you fantastic legend !!! Gone but never forgotten !!!

That would of been awesome to see Ric in the movies.

Am I dreaming. Is it real. Is peeves in a video. By the unusual suspect. *fanboys loudly*

Hey Ross, since you enjoyed the first Fantastic Beasts. What do you think of the Crimes of Grindelwald, I bet it has plenty of material for a review?

Nice to see you suspect.

That end was perfect!

To be fair that concept art isn’t as creepy as his appearance in sorcerer’s stone on ps1. Now that’s nightmare fuel

Bro any video on your channel I’m happy :)

I always remember Rik and Helena Bonham Carter in a TV movie called Dancing Queen. I absolutely loved it and them in it. Another sorely missed talent ❤️

Peeves in the 1st PC game scared me so much as a kid haha

Nice video!

Rik was in Drop Dead Fred, which also had Carrie Fisher in a minor role. Fisher's last movie was The Last Jedi, which had Ade Edmondson in a minor role. Ade is best known for his work with Rik Mayall. The circles complete.

Good video I would like movie videos like this

Worth having him anywhere in the book/movie just to watch him smaking Umbridge with a sock full of chalk as she ran out of the school

I think they were going for a ghost, because I remember seeing a picture of him, and he looked like a ghost, not a creature.

My son, now nearly 36!! Was an extra in the first film. He had the time of his life with Rick Mayall - who was naughty, kind, entertaining and utterly delightful. We would be ecstatic to see cut footage (hoping we’d get a glimpse of our 11year old) What a force of nature he was. I loved Kevin Turvey!! He is sadly missed.

I really hope the next review is Star Wars ✊ keep the reviews coming suspect.

They dropped the ball on a lot of things in the movies. Terry Gilliam was supposed to direct, JK had such a big influence on the films but she didn't have the final say..she should have made it a condition when she sold the rights.

I think it would alleviate some of the stress of putting out new reviews if you did these editorials. Not only are they good introspection on your person, but they well researched too. It's not too different from Doug Walker when he buffered his reviews every two weeks with editorials. I say upload at your pace and don't do a rush job. A video done well is better than a video done fast. Another top 10 video would be fun. Maybe your favourite movies or marvel movies.

If they do like a harry Potter reboot, do you think they'll put him in the movie

Peeves from the Philosopher's Stone PS1 game is really scary.

Hey! I saw the dailies! The kids were cracking up, Rik was unrelenting.

yes! release the Peeves!

The presence of magic + strong emotions can manifest spirits. The concentration of magic youth at Hogwarts manifests a poltergeist. The concentration of negative emotions in azkaban manifests dementors. Bogart's are manifested by fear. That is why peeves isn't technically a ghost.

I hope this isn't a false memory, but here in the US, the Young Ones was first released on a DVD set called "Every Stoopid Episode." My sister had this set, and I have memories of the special features including interview clips with Mayall. He was being interviewed about the young ones, but the interview was conducted on the set of Harry Potter and he was in costume, When I moved out on my own, I bought my own copy of The Young Ones on DVD, but by then "Every Stoopid Episode" was out of print and had been replaced by the "Extra Stoopid Edition" which is objectively superior because the episodes are complete (the previous release struggled with some music copywrite clearance) but the special features were all different and these interview clips were absent.

I don't mind if it's a three-hour cut, we need to see those deleted scenes.

Hey suspect I was wondering if you'd ever do a review of Tron Legacy. I just watched it again recently and it was a lot better than I remembered.

ah thank god, my stomachs been feeling achy so its nice to see suspect upload a video about my favourite poltergeist

A poltergreist is not Ghost but a spirit that appears in houses/buildings. It similar to a klabauterman in boats, is the spirit of the boat/house that is there to protect it from people who are disrespecting the place. In Scandinavic/norse belief you have the character Nisse/Tomte/haugvette, which is a small version of the original owner of a farm/land that protects the living resident, often (In Norway) wearing a red pointy hat and with a beard (not too different looking to a dwarf/santa clause) Other similar creatures: Kobold, a Germanic sprite/spirit

Love the accent. I can't figure out how The Unusual Suspect makes "shown" into a four-syllable word, while turning the "o" in "Stone" into a schwa (that's what you call the sound of the word, "a.")

0:26 Your upload schedule is as inconsistent as an M. Night Shyamalan script. Still love you though 😂😀

Seriously it's a disgrace they haven't yet added it to the deleted scenes of a Harry Potter box set. He's one of the best English comedians the country has produced. I'll cherish seeing Bottom Live until the day I die!

Haha great vid but I thought u ment alcohol when I saw the title

when are you going to do the temple of doom video?
