    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Alan Rickman was handpicked to play Snape by J.K. Rowling, and received special instructions from her about the character. Rowling even provided him with vital details of Snape's backstory, not revealed until the final novel.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 11 mins) When Harry is upside down with the troll holding him by his legs, his hair is pointing to the floor and his scar is no where to be seen on his forehead.
    • Quotes
      • Hermione: Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed - or worse, expelled.
      • Ron: She needs to sort out her priorities!
    • Crazy credits
      Richard Bremmer (the face and voice of Lord Voldemort) is credited as "He Who Must Not Be Named", Lord Voldemort's title.
    • Alternate versions
      There is an extended cut of the film running about 159 minutes vs the theatrical version runs 152 minutes. It was first shown on TV networks (ABC in the US, several international broadcasts had the same extended showing) in 2004. The 2009 Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray release includes this cut as well. The deleted scenes added back into the movie are:
      • Dudley's Uniform: Aunt Petunia dyes Dudley's old uniform gray so Harry could use it as his school uniform (before Harry receives the letter from Hogwarts.)
      • Cracking Eggs: Aunt Petunia opens egg cartons and cracks them, discovering rolled up letters from Hogwarts addressed to Harry.
      • On the train: Hagrid and Harry take the train to London, and Hagrid reveals his love for dragons.
      • Snape's Class: An extended version of Snape's potions class.
      • Finding Flamel: Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover Nicholas Flamel's name in a wizard card while looking for a counter curse for Neville's leg locker curse.
      • Harry's Meditation: Harry and Ron discuss the Mirror of Erised.
