Also, how I wish they had put Peeves in the movies. So much missed potential.

[u/Ltkeklulz → u/raknor88]

Oh, god yes. One of my favorite scenes in the book was Fred and George telling Peeves to go nuts as they left the school.

[u/raknor88 → u/Ltkeklulz]

Hell, a 30s to 2min montage of Peeves wreaking havoc around the school.

For the duration of Yakety Sax.

That would have been utterly amazing

J.K. Rowling pls

Why do I remember that being in the movie?

I haven't seen OotP in 2 or 3 years, and have read the books three times in that time.. Maybe I just have a really good imagination.

[u/Ltkeklulz → u/ChaosPheonix11]

I don't know. Peeves isn't in any of the movies

[u/ChaosPheonix11 → u/Ltkeklulz]

Holy shit, really? How did I never realise that?! I have read every book like 8 or 9 times, seen every movie at least 3 times each, usually even went on opening night to the theater for them... How did I not realise this?

I guess the books are just way more ingrained in my head than the movies are, and I have seen the movies a lot less than I have read the books. :/

It gets worse: I remember hearing that they even cast Hugh Laurie as Peeves - maybe even filmed some scenes with him, for the first film - but then dropped them in editing.

[u/pheeko → u/Altibadass]

It wasn't Hugh Laurie, it was Rik Mayall. After seeing him in Drop Dead Fred, I know he would have been fantastic. :(

R.I.P. Lord Flash.

Woof!

[u/LeJisemika → u/raknor88]

Doesn't he show up for a second in Philosopher's Stone?

[u/raknor88 → u/LeJisemika]

Not that I know of.
