The Harry Potter films started out as family friendly fantasies, but, identical to the books, they swiftly got darker and more epic. It€'s testament to the films' varying screenwriters then that the dialogue didn€'t become hokey. And it€'s testament to the trailer editors that many of the lines we associate most with the series don€'t actually appear in the movie.

Harry€'s "He's getting closer, I can feel it€!" from The Goblet Of Fire, the iconic exchange between Harry and Voldemort €“ €Why do you live?€", "Because I have something worth living for," in the final film and, worst of all, Snape€'s droll "It's over"€ following killing Dumbledore in The Half Blood Prince all don€'t show up in their respective final films.

There're more than these, but those three lines in particular are so enticing it was a damned shame to see them cut. Harry Potter trailers suffered from lots of scenes left out from the final cut, often due to yet-to-be-done effects work, but these lines stand out for being so awesome.
