CoS Scene

[Tim Johnson Family]

No: HPFGUIDX 80319

The rooster scene was originally included in the screenplay, but cut out--as far as I can tell. Watch the deleted scenes in the DVD carefully. It seems that originally Harry meets Hagrid in the hall--Hagrid explains the roosters have been dying. Hagrid later comes bursting into the office, swinging a dead rooster, claiming Harry must be innocent, because Hagrid saw him just before the attack. And Tom Riddle accuses Ginny of strangling roosters.
If that's true, the only reason they kept the rooster was because Hagrid was impossible to edit out of that scene. 

My pick for the clue is the Penelope/Percy relationship (shown briefly, but there). --RTJ



Admin team note:

Please can we be careful to keep this thread on topic, as it is beginning to stray into movie list territory.

Reference to the movies in order to throw light on the books is permissable, (eg, is this the scene that JKR insisted on keeping and if so, why?)but any further discussion of cinematic reasons for the inclusion of this or other scenes should be moved to the Movie List. Thank you.
