It contains one of the longest-running times in the series. However, it could have been on for even longer if fans consider the eight deleted scenes that didn’t make the director’s cut. It’s quite a shame really since some were quite interesting. Take a look at these scenes that could have changed the film overall.

8 Draco Malfoy Foreshadowing

Draco’s demeanor changes over the course of the sixth Potter movie. He starts off cocky and confident that he will be able to fulfill Voldemort’s tricky plan, despite the odds being stacked against him. However, Tom Felton’s character is seen to gradually become paler and has dark bags under his eyes, suggesting he’s not getting much sleep. Given Voldemort’s fondness for killing people, who can blame him?

Harry and Hermione refer to this in a scene that was left on the cutting room floor. It’s Hermione who expresses a belief that Draco’s looking ‘ill.’ However, Harry seems more concerned with the Vanishing Cabinet that remains at Borgin and Burkes. He was right to do so as Malfoy later uses it to smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts.

7 Noticing Something Strange

The book sees Harry become somewhat obsessed with Draco due to his hunch about the Slytherin student becoming a Death Eater. However, this isn’t quite the same in the big-screen version. As many know, Warner Bros. seemed to prefer building Ron and Lavender’s relationship and the glimpses into Voldemort’s past.

On the DVD and Blu-ray, there is a moment where Harry notices Draco can’t be located on the Marauder’s Map. While Hermione is told in a late-night chat that the object is never wrong, she still walks of disapprovingly, refusing to entertain the idea that Voldemort’s hired a 16-year-old. She has no idea how wrong she is…

6 Harry Guesses The Truth

The Vanishing Cabinet is a mystery Harry spends the bulk of the novel trying to crack. He’s unsure why Draco would be fascinated in such an object and why Voldemort would give him a mission that entails using it.

While Harry’s determination to get to the bottom of things isn’t as strong in the movie, this deleted scene may have fixed that. In this sequence, Harry ponders if there are two Vanishing Cabinets, sussing the truth.

However, he then departs on his mission with Albus Dumbledore and the gang doesn’t have enough time to act to prevent the Death Eaters from getting into Hogwarts. If this would have been included, it certainly would have helped the blockbuster more faithful to the source material.

5 Dumbledore Sheds More Light On Voldemort

During the cave sequence towards the end of the movie, there is an omitted moment that shows Dumbledore explaining the cave’s significance. He reveals Tom Riddle would travel there and subject other children to torment. The Hogwarts Headmaster then goes to cut himself to give the cave blood. However, there is some understanding as to why this may have been given the chop since it was pretty graphic and horrifying.

4 ‘I’m With You’

Dumbledore is left extremely vulnerable after downing the water from the cave that contained Salazar’s old locket. He was weak and Harry is just about able to get him back to Hogwarts. However, there is a scene that was left out of the Half-Blood Prince that shows how much the mysterious potion impacts the great wizard.

As Harry carries Dumbledore, the Headmaster reassures him that he wasn’t worried because “I’m with you.” Fans like this because it shows just how close the pair have become, and also makes the iconic wizard’s death shortly after all the more hard-hitting.

3 Long Montage

There’s a brief sequence in the movie that shows Minerva McGonagall dismissing students in the Hogwarts courtyard as the skies darken overhead. Severus Snape looking on ominously while Draco Malfoy climbs out of his bed and heads towards the Room of Requirement. Here, is where he then puts his deadly plan into action.

However, there is a deleted scene that makes the sequence even better. It’s kickstarted by Flitwick, who is conducting the school orchestra. As the students hauntingly sing, the camera starts panning to McGonagall, Snape, and Draco separately.

It’s potentially the best cut scene from the entire series as fans can sense this is the real turning point. It marks the moment where the franchise turns fully dark and stays that way right until the end.

2 Ginny Smiles At Harry

After Dumbledore’s death, the movie doesn’t really delve into the aftermath. There’s no funeral like there is in the book, where wizarding folk from around the world come to pay their respects. The only similar moment had to be the ending, where Harry, Ron, and Hermione all begin their search for the Horcruxes and plot to destroy Voldemort.

However, the DVD and Blu-ray edition does have a few extra scenes that show the extent of Harry’s grief. The scene starts with Harry alone in the dormitory room, where there’s nothing but silence. As he walks into the Gryffindor Common Room, he can hear Ron, Hermione, and Ginny whispering about him.

It becomes very clear that they are worried for him after what took place and are checking up on his well-being. While the scene ends with Ginny smiling sympathetically at Harry, it would have been good to keep this in and emphasize the bond Harry has with the other students.

1 ‘Keep Snogging To A Minimum’

The movie is the first film where Ron and Hermione’s love really starts to shine through – even if the former spends most of the time kissing the Lavender Brown. And a deleted scene at the end is a nice touch because it shows Harry’s feelings on the matter.

The Boy Who Lived jokes he wants the pair to ‘keep the snogging to a minimum’, knowing he’ll be third-wheeling on their quest to fight Voldemort and locate his Horcruxes. It’s a bit of much-needed light relief, especially coming shortly after Dumbledore’s death. And it suggests that though he’s scarred from that, he’s still ready to take down the Dark Lord. It’s nice that the scene ends with Harry telling his friends how much he appreciates them.
