Nice :) They should have kept that scene in...

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME DAVID YATES DELETED A SCENE THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD.. AND I ACTUALLY LIKED!!! WHY WAS IT TAKEN OFF???

That was absolutely spectacular! Why, oh WHY, did they cut it?!

oh well, when the EXTENDED VERSION in the ultimate edition comes out 2 Years from now.. it'll be there

yeah that really shouldnt have been deleted

omg... that scene was amazing.. gave me INTENSE goosebumps... shoulda kept that one.

cool clips. wanting the DVD now!!!!

all three were good :) don't see why the one was deleted...

omg! that was awesome. why didn't they leave that one in?

I guess I'm a little late, they all said they were private videos...

Yeah, they're all private videos... :(

When I click on the link, YouTube pops up saying that this video is private. What gives?

the vids are private. what's up with that? we actually get a deleted scene before the dvd comes out and it can't be seen. anyone else upset about that?

They saved the video over at Leaky Cauldron so you can still see it there. It is really good!

They're all marked private for me, too. How do you get to view them?

The link takes me to youtube login. I'm not a member and don't want to be one. View the videos at the-leaky-cauldron.org. Be sure to click on the "in our galleries" link or you get shut-out by youtube. Alan Rickman gives a superb performance?? All he does is stand there. I guess that must be a real reach.

Hey Guys. Sorry - it looks like the original uploader decided to make the video private - probably to prevent them getting banned from YouTube. I've just updated the post with a new link, which should allow you to see the clip. Personally - I think it is brilliant and can't believe it didn't make it in to the final cut! What do you all think?

I love it!!! That scene is amazing! If they ever do extended versions of the films they should add that scene back in. The music playing (In Noctem) is my ABSOLUTE favorite from the HBP soundtrack! It's so beautiful!! I'm so excited for the dvd!!!

I really want to see the videos of Emma and Rupert, but they're private now.... :(

I actually liked that scene! Very dramatic....

That was so frigging intense. It's right before the DE's enter Hogwarts isn't it? I remember some of those shots but that scene was truly beautiful. I wish it had been kept! Can't wait to see it properly on the DVD!!!

MOOOORRRRRREEE! Not fair! I wanted to see more... Ugh :( Oh well, from what I saw, they shouldn't have cut that out because that made it seem dark.

Its not on youtube anymore ! It says it's private..

EPIC. and EPICALLY STUPID to cut it out. I heard they cut it because it "slowed downed the climax of the movie." Well, climax my a**! The cinematic climax was at the cave. After that it was a good idea to start building up the other climax, the true climax of this particular movie, to make it more intense and emotional and to show that the cave thing was just a side plot that actually belonged more to DH, unlike this scene which plays into the Draco-Snape-Dumbledore storyline, the pivotal storyline of this particular movie. But the one who was really upset with this cut is Nicholas Hooper, the composer, because this song "In Noctem", probably his best on HP, didn't make it into the movie and was played during the credits instead.

Absolutely beautiful scene.

ugghhhhh....... why was that not in the movie!!!!! I loved the Ron and Hermione part! Does anyone know how to get to the two other behind-the-scenes clips,, of Emma Watson receiving a dark mark and Rupert Grint summarizing the first six movies?????? I want to see those so badly!!!!! I can't wait for my bestfriend Mia to see this!!! She'll love it tooo!!!

i think this vid is really cool. why did they cut it?

I will say this, I think this scene would have made a big difference in the movie, in a good way. It was building up to the Death Eater's infiltration of Hogwarts. The choir scene was also very reminiscent of Prisoner of Azkaban (which was, in my opinion, the best of the Potter films). The music was very somber, allegorical, and creepy... all of which I thought added to the effect. Also, the fact that the camera lingered on Snape for a few seconds was a good plot device; he looked troubled, as if he were being forced to do something he did not really want to do, and he was thinking heavily about it. If Peter Jackson were directing this movie, he would have definitely kept that scene in, for it really does enhance the story, no matter how slow-paced it was. I tell you, for me, this one scene would have made all the difference, and it would have made this film up to par with Prisoner of Azkaban. I still think this is an outstanding piece of filmmaking, regardless of this scene being kept out, but I'm still a little bit bummed out, 'cause the music, the tone, and the cinematography were all so great.

Where was this supposed to be in the plot? Before or after Harry & dumbledore go to the place where harry makes him drink stuff?

This scene was SIMPLY EPIC!! Did anyone else notice that when Ron and Hermione look up it resembles the back cover of HBP? I thought that was really cool.

Wow! This way amazing and way creepy! I loved the music that went along with it -very haunting! Should have kept it in. I am very jealous of Emma - She got a dark mark! I want one too! Ever since I read GOF I thought it would be amazing to get a dark mark, fake of course! I can't wait for the deathly hallows clips to start coming out! I predict eh, maybe January for the first little teaser? 369 days to go!

I can see it slowing down the climax, because it would go from that intense cave scene to all those shots of the characters looking scared and that would slow down the pacing of the film. However, I'm really happy the still kept that song and SOME of those shots like McGonagall telling the students to return to their houses in the film.

Wow, that was a REALLY cool scene. That was a neat bit of choral work, and Snape was really good, looking so troubled. He really looked like something was weighing on his mind. I really think they should have kept that scene in. I couldn't see the other videos, what's the deal with Emma getting a Dark Mark???

Who is that in the bed at 1:08?

WOW! Why in the world was that deleted!! It gave me goosebumps too. This scene would have helped those of us who HAD NOT read HBP 1st have insight into Snape's comflicted state of mind just before all hell breaks loose. (I read the book after seeing the movie) I hope the scene is in the DVD release as part of the actual movie and not just a DVD extra. As the others, could not review the 2 other clips - too bad :(

Why didn't they keep that scene?? I love it! It's so perfect and you can really see everyone's emotion. Nice, nice...

Stupid, stupid, stupid! That goes out to whoever made the decision to delete that gorgeous scene from HP. The mystery bed fellow is Draco, platinum hair and air of foreboding included.

So they finally make an emotional scene, done beautifully and not rushed, and then they delete it... wow... I can't stop watching it because it's so beautiful. The camera lingering on Snape gave me goosebumps because you could jsut read what's going on through his mind. That would have been SO important for just the movie goers to see that scene. Then it would have motivated them even more to seeing DH, because they'd be thinking "well why was snape looking sad? there has to be more to this story..."

So much emotion was conveyed in that short scene, I cannot fathom why it was cut. But then again, other IMPORTANT lines were also deleted. How many extra seconds of footage does it take to show Snape snarling in anguish, " Don't call ME coward! ", yet that single, oh-so-important line was never spoken. That's just one example of many I can think of. I'm talking of a few extra seconds of footage that were so important to the story. I don't get it.

hpfan444, I completely agree with you, it does. This movie really did justice to the cover and chapter art of the book. The scene where Harry and Dumbledore are standing over the pensieve resembles the cover of the book itself. Another scene that really struck me was the Katie Bell scene, where she was cursed by the necklace. The camera pans out and shows her suspended in midair, and it reminded me of the chapter art for this part. This entire scene, I thought, was just insanely well done, and it was nothing like we've ever seen in a Harry Potter film, and it really brings me down that it was cut. The entire film of HBP gave me a sense of foreboding: the color palette, the music, and the tone all added to this effect, and this one scene would have upscaled this sense of foreboding immensely.

Totally awsome. I dunno why they deleted that scene. Oh! and Alan Rickman is BRILLIANT!!

Wow. That deleted scene was very amazing. I love Alan Rickman. ♥ The whole scene was very emotional, and it was a slow one that's why it hadn't been included in the movie. But still awesome. ;) Unfortunately, I can't view the behind-the-scenes videos. *sigh*

Beautiful scene, wish it was kept in though... whats an extra 2 mins lol!? The Emma Watson one is still available here btw: http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=VukU1d5__6w And probs if you type in 'Rupert summarising' or something you'll get the other one :)(

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Her_my_nee!!! I really wanted to see that, thanks! LOL at Emma getting her Dark Mark! =)

That scene totally needed to be in the movie to add up all of the intensity that was to come. I just cried. :']

I Hated the film like Voldemort. That would have one the best. Cut it by even 60% and it still would have made the film liveable. Sorry done hate me. horas1
