Out of respect for Rik they should release his Peeves scenes!!!! RIP Peeves

NOBODY could have played Peeves better then Rik Myall, i will forever be upset that they denied us his amazing talent and our beloved Peeves. Big big mistake, and now we shall never have a chance for them to make amends. RIP Rik, you funny man.

Are you kidding me? This was the guy who would have played Peeves?!! HE'S PERFECT!!! HOW COULD YOU CUT HIM OUT?!!!

The problem is that there is no recorded scene anywhere on the internet where we could see him play peeves which bogles me sooo much

I can actually visualize him saying "ooh ickle firsties what fun!" He is the perfect peeves and I am so cheesed off that his scenes were cut! RIP Rik xx

@ the end: "It WAS crap, 'cause I wasn't IN it." LOL Rik's lines are always pure win.

I REALLY want to see the peeves scenes

I hope they bring out the 3 hour version with him in it honestly rik mayall is a legend

Im laughing so hard about him telling his kids he was Hagrid 🤣🤣

He fits Peeves brilliantly. Drop dead Fred was peeves.

That's definitely one (of many) thing that was missing from the movie adaptations of the Harry Potter series: Peeves. And the worst part is that Peeves wasn't even in the deleted scenes!

Is there a petition online for Warner brothers to release this cut footage?

Add the Peeves scenes in as a tribute to Rik Mayall.

I remember being so pleased when they announced that he was cast as Peeves, and so disappointed when I learned that his scenes were cut. I agree with everyone else, that his scenes should have been restored to a special edition DVD.

Who are the casting geniuses of Harry Potter? He's like exactly how I envisioned Peeves... Shame they cut him.

Your trying to tell me Peeves was in the Harry Potter films all along and this absolute legend was the one playing him, and they cut it from the final cut...

I miss Rik Mayall so much. The world is not the same silly place without him but his comedy and work is untouchable

"and I got the money: Significant." lol

"I got the money - significant" you beautiful cynical bastard Rik. 4 years gone and it still breaks my heart

R.I.P Rik Mayall, more people would have known who he was if his Harry Potter scenes weren't cut but now that he's no longer with us, maybe his scenes will finally be released

"It was crap, 'cause I wasn't in it" XDDD

They should just remake all eight of the films with him in. They'd be 10 times as good. Or better yet they could just release the scenes that he did.

there will never be another Rik xxx

Goodbye Rik. Your star burned bright, we watched, we laughed and we changed.

Honestly they missed a trick, Rik Mayall simply WAS Peeves the Poltergeist! Could there be anyone else to play that role?? It was practically written for him!

Really, you can't blame anyone for laughing at Rik... the man is pure comedy. I've never not seen him be funny

I love thinking about this interview everytime I'm around Potter Knobs 😂

I'm just now learning about this and honestly I'm choking back tears. He would've been perfect!!

what a great man. i know its not the norm but this man ( and eddie) made my teen years. bottom was a real life saver. im sad i never got to see them live. sad

RELEASE THE SCENES! He's seriously my favorite character-!

Sad both Rik and Robbie are gone now

@ 2:42 - 2:46 when he laughed, for some reason i couldn't help laughing along with him XD

Damn! He would have been amazing as Peeves, hopefully some day his scenes will be shown as extended footage, like when all 8 films are on DVD

He was so awesome

Hahaha, I love Rik!!! As soon as I heard about the book being turned into a film, Rik was the first person I thought of to play Peeves. Especially because I thought he was similar to Drop Dead Fred which I love also.

OMG I was always annoyed that they cut peaves from Harry Potter. Now I'm fucking furious, because I always imagined him a Rik, always. How could cut him, how dare they.

Truly and sadly missed, RIP Rik.

Rik and Ricky, my favourite two comedians, share the same brilliant personalities

I want to see what was cut.

'Do you want to be in it?' 'Yeah' 'You're in' I wish casting was that easy!

R.I.P :(

bye to the best comic ever

Best interview ever!

Jesus! I love his delivery of that "THUNDERSTOOORM!!" line. Lots of boom and snarling in his voice. Very nice!

Rik mayall should be in more (popular) things, hes such an amazing talent.

He couldn't do his part because he made everyone laugh so much what a guy

As someone who works in film, it's easy to forget *this footage probably doesn't still exist.* Filmmakers sometimes shoot hundreds of hours of film, and even if not that still a lot. The "deleted scenes" are only the last few they take out near the end of editing. There's hours of footage that's cut before that, which they have no incentive to keep, so they just destroy it to make space in their archives. They likely cut his scenes out before everybody else.

oh gawd i musta watched this a bunch of times i still laugh at it rik's laugh is contagious LOL

omg i know it make me giggle when they showed the part in THE RAVEN haha

Can't believe that the footage of Rik playing Peeves has not surfaced !

We need to see the Peeves cut scenes on KZfaq!!!

For me, the best film Rik had appeared in was An American Werewolf in London.

I freakin love Lord Flasheart.

amazing actor, so sadly missed, one of Britains best satirical actors, loved him miss him xxxx

Told all my friends that Peeves was cut from Harry Potter. They all got pissed. There you go. Now, Warner Bros, release the cut scenes for all to see!

One of the great injustices of our time that Rik was cut from the film; I love Peeves in the book, and can imagine no one more suited to play him than this Legend. RIP Rik, we miss you man 😢

Rik got the most adorable laugh ever! haha makes me giggle

It hard not too fancy him 😂❤💜 xxx

Rik your a FUCKIN' Legend my friend

That was funny!! And doing a gig in my home town was better than attending the Premiere!! Awesome!

I just love him. 😍😍😍😊

Took me a second and a peek at Wikipedia to realize that Rik Mayall plaed "Drop Dead Fred" and I was like: Great choice for peeves!

love u rik

Rik Mayall was a ridiculously funny guy in real life as well as acting. You should read what his daughter had to say about him. To see more, look up The Young Ones. Just incredible. He was the *ideal* Peeves and it was so sad he was left out. Now it's too late. :(

I'm so surprised to hear rik was a part of Harry potter for awhile... I'm so mad he got cut I love Rik

R.I.P. Rik Mayall.

now i'm upset that they cut peeves from the movie. This guy is hilarious

Peeves looks like a funny character

Tragic he was cut out of the film, he would have been perfect. Also, I want to see him in The Raven.

I wish they would just release those deleted scenes already

How do you cut Rik Mayall out of the movie? Absolute comedy genius and would have been such a joy to watch. Hope one day we get the deleted scenes

Every time I think of Peeves I think of Drop Dead Fred. He would have been amazing in the films but he lives in my memories as both Drop Dead Fred and Peeve even if he was never in the film

They are releasing the first HP on DVD as an extended edition (no info yet on whether the other movies will be released the same way). I don't know, though, if there will be any new extended/deleted scenes beyond what they already play on TV and are on the old DVDs. So, I don't know if they'll add Rik's parts back in or not. But I'm hoping so. That'd be awesome.

I like how he asked what Harry Potter was, but then convinced them he'd read it. A good dishonest guy.

Rick: Those utter, utter, stupid, bastards! Those stupid, stupid, stupid bastards BUGGERY! Arse! Head! Features! Face! Why did they cut the scenes out? Eddie: 'Cause your an anarchist mate! Imagine you being in all eight features. They would've prosecuted you for giggling them to death. And, and they would've prosecuted me as well, for not stopping you! With a cricket bat of course!

OMFG I LOVE HIS LAUGH AND SNORT LMAO

It seems like they still used his likeness (crudely speaking) in the video games that were released for the film, and even the ones for later films. I played the games as a kid, so it's a trip for me seeing a guy who really looks like that, haha

@waterwind2266 My thoughts EXACTLY!!! I about died when I found out they cut him! He is so amazing!! I wish they would make an extended version and put him back in! I LOVE THIS DUDE!

You're a true Harry Potter fan when you know who Peeves was. I really wished they would have kept his scenes in it would have made the films better. Rik Mayall would have made the best Peeves (R.I.P Rik) 😢

Why, God? Why'd did You take him from us?

I might of bothered to watch a Harry Potter film if Rik was in it but I’ve never seen one.

R.I.P., Rik Mayall.

They should have put them on the DVD!

For pity’s sake they should release peeves footage and let rik make us laugh again

hahahahaha that snort at 0.44 classic rik

A phenomenon.

OMG!!! NOW I'M FREAKIN' PISSED!!! i wanted peeves to be in the movie too!!! they had peeves cast as rik mayall and didn't even put him in the movie?!?!?!?! AAAAHHHH!!! rik mayall was perfect for that part and he wasn't even put in it! SO MAD!!!!

OMFG Rik could of been in it!!!! how dare they not put him in it it would of been great i can easily see him as peeves who else can?

just imagined we could've had Rik giving Umbridge hell in OOTP like Fred had asked him too!! I'm a potterhead for life alas my two and only grievances are that Rik was cut, and the movies didn't stay true enough to the books. So much we missed out on! Rip Rik, my favourite man 🙏❤

heard this story before! Huge shame they cut him out, so many epic british actors, and quite a few comics from his era in these films, but where the flip was Rick??!

LEGEND.

I love his laugh

Riks the main reason i wanted to see the film! hes one of my favorite comedians ever! :D but i didnt see him!! :( is there any footage anywhere from what ever they cut? id like to see it.

He's aged very well.

Why haven't these scenes at least been posted on the Internet somewhere?

My brother didn't read Harry Potter before both of us watched the movies for the first time, and I was SHOCKED when Peeves didn't appear. I made him swear to read the books, because... Harry Potter without Peeves was devastating xC

I’ve not read the books or seen the movies but I Definitely would have done if Rik was in it. Total Bloody Legend! Luckily, he knew it 😂♥️

What a fascinating character.

Maybe Peeves will appear in a future Fantastic Beasts movie

Such a cool guy
