15 Awesome Harry Potter Deleted Scenes

8. Weird Sisters

Which movie? Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire Where would it be in film? During the Yule Ball. What happens? After the ballroom dancing that the film spent an inordinate amount of time setting up, the Yule Ball divulges into the usual secondary school band night with the introduction of the Weird Sisters, a wizard pop rock band led by Jarvis Cocker for some reason. They're briefly seen in the finished film, but this deleted scene runs the full length of the song. Should it have been cut? This is probably one of the most divisive parts of the entire movie series. Jarvis Cocker popping up in a Harry Potter film is pretty in keeping with the modern-Brit scope (particularly as Goblet Of Fire, at least in the book, is set in 1994, when Pulp were at their height), but it's easy to imagine snickering from the audience at lines such as "runnin' like a hairy troll learnin' to rock and roll." Naturally, adding nothing to the plot, it is very easy to cut, although it's kinda humorous that so much effort during production was clearly put into it. Surprisingly, it's not as cringeworthy as Hogwarts' school anthem from another deleted scene earlier in the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tNUAumvfzg
