15 Awesome Harry Potter Deleted Scenes

14. Trelawney Set-Up

Which movie? Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Where would it be in film? During Umbridge's rise up the ranks at Hogwarts. What happens? This is actually two separate scenes. The first is a single joke shot during Umbridge's introductory speech which shows Emma Thompson's Professor Trelawney doing some dependably kooky things with the feast's food items. The second is an uncut version of the monitored lesson seen in the Umbridge montage, where Trelawney fails to prove there's any worth to her subject. Should it have been cut? The firing of Trelawney is intended to be a big emotional beat and a public show of Umbridge's ruthlessness, but in the finished film doesn't have quite the impact, primarily because Thompson's hardly been around - she was completely absent from The Goblet Of Fire. These moments may be short, but they would have no doubt given that scene a more resounding impact. On top of that, as Trelawney is incredibly important come the end of this movie - it was her who gave the whole Chosen One prophecy - it would have made some sense to have her factor a bit more in the preceding story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zekmNPZJGII
