For me one of them would definitely have to be the actual maze scene for the last task in the Triwizard Tournament in the GOF. It would've been cool to see the Sphinx and the boggarts and blast-ended skrewts. But instead all we got was a lame scene with the actors running all over the place and just breathing heavy.

Everything SPEW (honestly, why didn't they add that in?).
I would have loved to see Dobby with the hats Hermione knitted (Order of the phoenix).The magical creatures Hagrid went over in class. Creatures generally, like giants and the houselves. The development of Kreacher's character wasn't properly reflected in the films.
There's a LOT but the main ones for me are the important sideplots that are brought up randomly in the films then dropped and never explained properly. Give us a quick briefing of the Marauders and their identities. Show us Harry's insecurities about his parents he gained from the Pensieve in OotP, and Sirius and Lupin reassuring him afterwards rather than just never bringing it up again straight after showing James as a horrible person for the rest of the series. Drop in those scenes with Harry & Ginny in OotP to give some sorely needed backbone to their relationship, and more Dobby, Fleur and Bill! Dobby's death was unearned because he just randomly appears out of nowhere for DH1, and good gracious Bill and Fleur was so undeveloped...But my absolute favourite book scene is at the end of GOF when Harry cries as Mrs Weasley hugs him, wondering if this is what it feels like to be embraced by a mother and remembers the horrific scenes he's just experienced. That for me was when the series grew up.
Gaunts and Tom Riddle memories. HBP is my favourite book so I was really disappointed - still I am - when I saw they hadn't been included in the film. And the orphanage memory was too short.Anyway, I was confused when I left the cinema back then.

The fourth movie was terrible, if only for constantly adding its own stuff ( the dragon race/chase??) and leaving out such important moments
There is a lot of important ones that would have helped the plot along but I would have loved a proper exploration of Harrys and Ginnys relationship in book six and specifically the scene where they talk about Harrys alleged tattoo. Just makes me love Ginny even more every time i read it!
I wish there was more about Kreacher's past with Regulus and the locket.

When Dobby hugged Harry Potter out of gratitude after being set free in movie #2…When Harry told Voldemort he’d give him one last chance for remorse toward the end of the last movie…

i agree
definitely peeves was missing! aswell as Charlie and I missed S.P.E.W it was an important part I think and it wasn't even mentioned in the movies
I've been reading Half-Blood Prince and gosh I can't believe they really left out all those scenes with Morfin and Merope and teenage Voldy. They don't explain the jinx thing with the DADA teachers either. Also they could've at least shown a newspaper clipping or something in Goblet Of Fire movie with Frank Bryce's arrest for murder of the Riddle family. Otherwise it's just this random old man getting killed by Voldy.

"I told them you have a pigmy puff, but I didn't say where." She's so sharp, it's amazing!!
The scene where Harry sees Snapes memories and sees his parents in OotP, ( I know it was there, but I want more marurders!)I also wished they had kept Peeves, and had more Weasley twins
@Sophie, TRUE! that scene WAS hilarious! XD
They also need it when the hogwarts students sing in the goblet of fire.
yep u can find it on youtube tho
Yep it was a deleted scene. I can't believe they cut that and kept the awful Beauxbatons scene where it focuses on the underage girls' behinds... like what? Was this normal in 2005???
idk but honestley i haven't thought about it like that
Neville saving Harry during Order of the Phoenix, and Fred beating up Draco at the quidditch pitch
The Valentine's Day scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, no doubt in my mind. It honestly was my favorite part about the book and I was so annoyed that it wasn't in the film when I first watched it. Underrated gem.
kreacher’s tale!! we don’t even learn anything about regulus besides his name in the movies. it also gives kreacher his redemption. i also wish they would’ve included dumbledore’s funeral,as well as ginny and harry’s WHOLE RELATIONSHIP done differently
So sad that they changed the final battle in DHpt2 OG is much better
istg i wanted the scene in which harry was made the godfather of teddy lupin...the emotional ride that scene took me during the book was pretty intense and if this scene was portrayed in the movie i would have lived my life to the fullest💞😭
also WHYYYYYY WHYYY DIDNT THEY GIVE US A TOUR ON ST MUNGO HOSPITAL LIKE-
i really wanted the scne in which harry finds his mom s letter like THEY LEFT OFF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENES
my Favorite Scene in the Book That Wasn't in the Movie was wen harry wanted to be an arour and professor mcgonagall stood up to umbrige.
Kreachers tale. we only ever here regulus’ name in the movies and they be don’t explain he is Sirius brother that well.

McGonagall roasting the shit Outta umbridge

I agree!
Definitely Peeves. I can't believe they didn't include him! He's such a big character in the books!!!
Hermione’s knitting project she undertook for the house elves.
Definitely the scene in Half-Blood Prince in which Dumbledore visits and insults the Dursleys.
My favourite scene would have to be when Ron starts to have an argument with Snape for what he said to Hermione when he called her a know it all. He said something like. you asked a question why ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. Love it 😂😂
