Which movie? Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone Where would it be in film? Before Harry and Hagrid head to Diagon Alley. What happens? Not one for discreteness, after saving Harry from the Dursleys, Hagrid takes him to get his school supplies by way of the London Underground. The pair discuss the shopping list, Hagrid confesses his desire to own a dragon and one unlucky commuter gets pretty weirded out. Should it have been cut? It gets lost a little in the later films, but a central part of Harry Potter's appeal is how its traditional wizarding world fits so brilliantly against the backdrop of modern Britain - flying Ford Anglias, transforming cats in the suburbs and a special train station hidden in Kings Cross. While it's not as striking as any of those, this conversation really taps into that element. And really, it's worth inclusion for that shot of a giant on the tube alone. Although you have to question what time they're travelling to get such a quiet carriage.
