10 Great Harry Potter Characters That We Never Got To See On Screen

'Neville Longbottom and the Philosopher's Stone' doesn't have a great ring to it, but it could've been the case had Voldemort interpreted the prophecy that predicted the rise of a chosen one differently, given that he ticked all of the same boxes as Harry Potter.

Neville's character development is one of the best in the series, as he grows from being the butt of all jokes into the leader of the Hogwarts' resistance. His personal tragedy is as haunting as Harry's, but the incredibly poignant scene where he visits his parents at St. Mungo's Hospital and the depth of their madness borne from torture at the hands of Death Eaters is revealed was criminally cut from the Order Of The Phoenix film.

His grandmother is by his side for this moment in the book, wanting her grandson to be proud of his mother and father rather than ashamed by them. The closest we ever got to seeing her on screen was when the Boggart version of Professor Snape emerged wearing her clothes in Prisoner Of Azkaban, though there was a blink and you'll miss it appearance of an old woman next to Neville in Philosophers Stone and another present in Deathly Hallows.

Regardless of whether either extra was meant to be Augusta or not, viewers were robbed of her sharp tongued wit and her 'badass old woman' status, exemplified by her humiliation of the calamitous Auror John Dawlish.
