In a previous interview, Andy McCray, the founder and editor of the website Harry Potter Fan Zone, told us that such a passionate and enthusiastic following of the Harry Potter film series is due to the fact that it embedded itself in the zeitgeist of the 2000s.

For the millennial generation who grew up reading books, the Harry Potter world serves as a form of fantasy escapism in this increasingly hectic world. “An entire generation grew up reading the books and watching the films, and the characters and stories have transcended the page to became part of popular culture," Andy said.

The story of The Boy Who Lived is still relevant today because it has entertainment and nostalgia factors to it. Andy explained that ”the HP movies deal with themes—love and hate, good versus evil, overcoming adversity and standing up against injustice, finding inner strength—which are particularly relevant in the modern world.” The themes are timeless and manage to touch viewers of virtually any generation.

What I learned from this one is there are multiple version of the movie out there....Lots of people are claiming to have seen a lot of these scenes but I can confirm they are not present in the versions I've watched.

b l a n c 4 years ago

yes. everybody has different versions of the movie. some people have scenes in their movie that were cut out later, some people have scenes that were added later, some people don't have any of these. but everyone keeps commenting on it and honestly i think it's a waste to do so. it's just different versions of the movie! all of these scenes were probably cute out at SOME point but not for each version

There. Are. Multiple. Versions. My gosh!!! The comments, from the same people, over and over, are insane. The title was misleading. None of these were in the theatrical releases. But it seems every time they're on television, new scenes are added. It's why I keep watching them! It's fun!

yes! it's so annoying. there were at least 3 people continuously commenting "this wasn't deleted!". got quite annoying near the end

A lot of these were bonus features on the DVDs, too. I always thought they should have made each book from Goblet of Fire onwards into 2 movies.

The ONLY WAY . was to make this into a series , and each season a year. And each chapter a episode. Just copypaste everything word by word line by line but like more dramatic. I liked the fight scene at the end of OOP . It was much better and visually appealing
