When adjust a   novel into a film , more than a few things are bound to be left out . There ’s just more leeway to tell a story in 800 pages than there is in two and a one-half hours . That ’s peculiarly true for theHarry Potterseries . Some notable storyline and fiber were slew entirely from the films .

Some of these type would have total some astuteness to the story and the decision to leave them out is questionable .   Conversely , others may have do the level to become bloated .

Here are the characters we wanted to see the most and the ones we ’re glad never made it !

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley looking at a crystal ball in Harry Potter.

Glad: Bane

InHarry Potter and the Sorcerer ’s Stone , a pivotal scene catch Harry come face to face with a centaur named Firenze . He saves Harry from what ’s left of Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest . In the leger , Harry also meets a less friendly centaur named Bane , who chastises Firenze for allow Harry to ride him to safety , visit him a common mule .

This is a display case where more conflict hurts a screenplay . Bane is a character who has a few other important scenes in the books , including during the Battle of Hogwarts andHarry Potter and the Cursed Child . However , he ’s   not all that important and viewers hardly missed anything by leave the centaur out of the adaptation .

Wish: Peeves

The wraith that roam the foyer of Hogwarts are n’t seen often in the films . Nearly Headless Nick look in memorable scenes in the first two installments and we get a pivotal scene with the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 . Still , there ’s one entity   exit out of the screen version .

Peeves   is a poltergeist who causes devilment throughout the books . He would n’t have bring much to the story , but watching him bring mayhem would have been a gracious little delicacy within the lighthearted nature of the first two films . Plus , a compelling visual would be how a poltergeist differs from a spook . He did make some appearance in video game , though . Rik Mayallwas cast and even filmed some prospect as Peeves , but they were thin out from the last product .

Glad: Ludo Bagman

Ludo Bagman was kind of the sodding character to introduce inHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire . As the pass of the Department of Magical Games and Sports , he oversaw the event of the Triwizard Tournament . His gambling trouble led him to lose a bet to the Weasley Twins and they used that money to fund their eventual jocularity shop .

While it would be nice to see where the Weasleys got their money from , keeping Bagman out of the movies was a near move . There are a lot of concepts and lineament to introduce in the 4th pic . Bagman may have been seen by most as one new face too many .

Wish: Teddy Lupin

Sadly , the films mostly keep the human relationship between Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin in the iniquity . It ’s a lively facet of the Holy Scripture , yet we just see it on the big screen . The most significant   omission from their romance is their son , Teddy Lupin .   His omission lessened the impact of his parents ' death in the net film .

With his parent gone , Teddy becomes a young orphan . It ’s a similar situation to that of Harry himself . In the book , we learn that he grew up to become closely to the Potters . At the very least , he could have had a talk line or two during the closing scene that takes place 19 yr in the future .

Glad: Professor Binns

The teachers at Hogwarts make up some of the most memorable characters in the series . Severus Snape , Minerva McGonagall , and Rubeus Hagrid come to mind . One of the more unique   staff members is Professor Binns ,   who teaches History of Magic . He digest out because he ’s a ghost .

Binns put across away in his sopor and fetch up the next morning to instruct as if nothing had happened . His dull vox take to students falling asleep during deterrent example .   Leaving him out of the film worked because we already had some interesting teachers and because   he is mostly undistinguished to the overall floor .

Wish: The Longbottoms

Neville Longbottom flower from the laughing stock of the school to one of the heroes during the Battle of Hogwarts . A lot about him is left to the book , include   his status as   one of those babies alluded to by the " chosen one " prophecy . The other was , of course , Harry Potter .   Neville ’s parent ,   Frank and Alice , were member of the Order of the Phoenix .

We only get a glimpse of them in a pic during the 5th movie . They were excruciate for information by Bellatrix Lestrange . The film does n’t plunk much mysterious ; on the other bridge player , the leger   let in a prospect where Neville ’s parents are shown in a mental introduction from the agony . Getting to see that and the impingement it has on Neville would ’ve made his heroic moment in the goal that much more victorious .

Glad: Piers Polkiss

Most chance devotee of the series do n’t even remember Piers Polkiss . To be fair , it ’s not like he ’s from the magical earth where most of the story takes place . He ’s a friend of Dudley Dursley and a fellow bully who like to make Harry ’s living hell . Piers companion Harry and his fellowship at the zoo where Harry accidentally unleashes a snake on his cousin .

This is another case   of   leaving someone out meliorate thing . There ’s no point having wharf around . Dudley and his parent do more than enough to   make consultation sympathise with Harry ’s living . Piers does n’t do enough to justify his comprehension . He does technically appear in   one film , but get no speaking line and is just hanging out in the background .

Wish: The Gaunts

Harry Potter buff everywhere questioned the House of Gaunt ’s absence in the movie . It efficaciously cuts the backstory that helps create Voldemort . They were a thoroughbred family descended from Salazar Slytherin , made up of abusive father Marvolo and his children Morfin and Merope .

Merope used a dearest potion on Tom Riddle , a wealthy Muggle . After marriage come pregnancy and she broke the spell . Riddle abandon her and she give out giving birth to a son she cite Tom Marvolo Riddle , who   grew up to become Voldemort . This is a monolithic piece of his story and helps to explain his disdain for muggles ,   even if it is hard to fault Voldemort ’s father for abandoning Merope .

Glad: Winky

As much as devotee loved Dobby the house elf , they accommodate he   can be   fairly bothersome . Kreacher ’s inclusion in the   movies works because he   scarcely speak . The other prominent theatre brownie in the taradiddle is Winky , who initially works for the Crouch family and then get a job in the kitchen at Hogwarts , which she hates .

The character wail a lot and nobody miss that annoying trait on celluloid . The only value contribution her role brings is the encroachment it has on Hermione ’s interest in helping ELF . She eventually   continue work in that playing area for the Ministry of Magic . Still , Winky was n’t missed .

Wish: Ariana Dumbledore

We see Ariana Dumbledore in a picture and that ’s it . That ’s a substantial pity for someone so polar in Albus Dumbledore ’s story . When she by chance did conjuring trick in front of Muggle boys as a shaver , they round her . It scarred Ariana and she could no longer command her magic . Her father start after the boys and landed in Azkaban .

Ariana had an emotional outburst that killed her mother and Albus take over as caretaker . When he became friends with Gellert Grindelwald and hash out leaving to make muggles subservient , Albus ' brother Abeforth confronted them . It led to a three - fashion affaire d’honneur . Ariana tried to check it but was shoot down by one of their wands . It is why Albus never went through with Grindelwald ’s program and put him on the path to being the great sensation that he became . This is part of a lot of backstory about Albus bequeath out of the moving picture .
