10 Harry Potter Plot Points Cut From The Movies That Can Be Used In The TV Reboot

5. Neville And His Parents At St. Mungo's

In the Order of the Phoenix book, Harry, Ron and Hermione visited Arthur Weasley at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries after Harry had a vision of Nagini attacking him. Fascinated by all things Muggle, Arthur decided to go the route of getting stitches to fix his wounds; a choice that doesn't go down well with Molly Weasley.

However, while at St Mungo's, the trio - along with Ginny - end up on the wrong floor and they encounter Gilderoy Lockhart, who is still living with the effects of the memory charm that rebounded back to him during Harry's second year.

While on the same floor, Neville Longbottom is visiting his parents Frank and Alice, who were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange with the use of the cruciatus curse.

This heartbreaking scene provides more backstory as to why Neville is living with his grandmother. Although both Frank and Alice can't recognise or know their own son, in one sweet scene, Alice walks up to Neville and hands him a sweet wrapper; something Neville will keep with him as a memory of his parents.
