I really want the Harry Potter TV show to recreate a cool scene from the books that wasn’t in the movies, and I think that can probably be done in the first season. I remember being pretty impressed with how much content from the Harry Potter Books have made it into the film adaptations, especially the earlier installments. However, there were a few key moments that I was very aware were missing. Thankfully, the format of a TV show makes adapting these scenes much more likely, and there is one sequence that I hope makes it into the film adaptation this time around.

One of the most iconic sequences of events from the first book still makes for a thrilling experience when I watch the film adaptation. Unfortunately, I can never quite shake the feeling that something is missing. While I understand why the creative team ultimately decided not to include it in their version of the story, I also think that HBO’s Harry Potter A television series is in a much better position to adapt a particular scene.

I want Season 1 of Harry Potter to lack the Philosopher’s Stone and the Courtroom, which are missing from the book

After Ron’s chess sacrifice, there is a potion logic puzzle for Harry and Hermione

If you have never read the books, you won’t notice the missing courtroom in the first part. Harry Potter Film. In the book The chess room is not the last obstacle before Harry meets Professor Quirrell/Lord Voldemort. There is another challenge that Harry and Hermione must face together, the Potions exam, which only allows Harry to continue. Of all the exams, this one caught my attention the most. It is basically a logic puzzle that could kill both Harry and Hermione if they get it wrong.

“Brilliant,” said Hermione. “It’s not magic – it’s logic – a puzzle. Many of the greatest wizards don’t have an ounce of logic, or they’d be stuck here forever.”

“But we will, won’t we?”

“Of course not,” said Hermione. “Everything we need is written here on this paper. Seven bottles: three are poison, two are wine, one will take us safely through the black fire, and one will take us back through the purple.”

The fact that one of the central events of the book was cut so drastically in the film seemed to me to be a strange decision. Hermione’s monologue about Harry being a great wizard takes place in the chess room. in the film, but in the original footage it is actually recited in the Potions room. So I had the feeling that the omission was imminent. If Harry Potter Season 1 adapts JK Rowling’s first book, then the Potions Room could – and in my opinion should – appear towards the end of the first season of the series. It could even be used in the finale.

Why the Potions Process Was Missing in the First Harry Potter Movie

Harry’s grand finale in The Philosopher’s Stone would have felt different if the potion process had been included in the series

Books and movies are very different mediums, so certain concessions must be made when adapting a novel for the big screen. After Fluffy, the next three trials allow each of the main trio to become heroes before Harry’s showdown. Hermione defeats the Devil’s Snare, Harry uses his flying skills to catch the enchanted keyand Ron’s chess skills bring them victory. If the film had included the Potions room – and faithfully adapted it – Hermione could have taken the credit again, which wouldn’t make much sense before Harry’s big hero moment.

In hindsight, I think the film’s decision to omit the Potions trial was much more fitting. Not only would it have distracted from Harry’s finale, but it would have slowed the pace of the action-packed trials that preceded it. Silently deciding which potion to drink and then taking a small sip would not have been particularly exciting cinema after Ron’s defeat by a giant, humanized chess piece. Still, I think there is a way to do this – perhaps by Harry Potter TV show with the missing trial at an earlier date.
