Artist Brings To Life Powerful Harry Potter Scenes We All Wish Were In The Movies

Florida comic artist Katie Knudson brings to life heartfelt and powerful Harry Potter scenes that weren't in the movies but should have been.

Unlike other book adaptations, the Harry Potter films weren't actually so bad at bringing the books to life. Even now, many of us who have read the books over and over again couldn't imagine Hogwarts looking any different or Hagrid looking like anyone else than what and who they portrayed in the films.

That doesn't mean that those films were perfect, though. In fact, while the films got a lot of details right, they were missing plenty of key scenes and moments that would have resonated more with the audience.

Then again, we all know that if the writers and directors had followed every page of the books, we wouldn't just have eight movies in our hands; we'd have seasons and seasons of Harry Potter.

While that would be heaven for us fans, it just doesn't seem entirely feasible. Thankfully, though, there are plenty of people out there who are helping to fill in the gaps that the films left out.

One of those people is Florida-based comic artist Katie Knudson. She has been drawing scenes from the Harry Potter world that we wished to see in the movies but unfortunately didn't make the cut, and we're absolutely loving it.

According to the artist, the idea came to her when someone reminded her of the moment Luna randomly walked up to Harry to proclaim her support for him. “I just thought it was a great scene, and I felt inspired to draw it really quickly. It was so well received that I realized I was not the only one who missed these forgotten and deleted scenes, so I just kept finding them and drawing them!” the artist said.

This scene with Neville's parents and their story

Honestly, it would have broken us to see this scene in the films. Thinking of what Neville went through and what he had to endure at school just hurts.

It shows how strong and brave Neville really is, despite everything.

The look on Umbridge's face onscreen would have been one incredibly satisfying sight to see

Seriously, this would have been one kick-ass scene to see. We would have loved to see Mama McGonagall chewing Umbridge to pieces while defending Harry.

This woman has been freaking amazing, and we honestly wouldn't mind her having her own movie, you know.

When Harry invited Luna to Slughorn's party

Oh, precious Luna. She really deserves everything. This is one of the scenes, though, that makes us appreciate Harry a bit more.

Although he thought she was odd at first, he treated her kindly and with respect. Just seeing her face brighten up at his invitation would have made our day.

This is especially sweet because all his life, Ron thought having house elves as slaves was normal. He even laughed at Hermione the first time she thought of petitioning for the house elves' freedom. This moment just shows how much he cares for and respects Hermione's goals and wishes.

It makes us sad to remember that these heartfelt and powerful scenes were omitted from the films. Seeing these onscreen would have hit so much harder. 

Alas, though, we can’t get everything we want from the studios, so we’ll have to make our own way to commemorate those wonderful books. Are there other scenes you wished could have been in the films?
