The ‘Harry Potter’ books are an emotion. Back in 1997, the first book of the Harry Potter series was released. The series stirred a worldwide trend of wand fighting, spell chanting, wearing capes and pointed hats, and whatnot. The books were later redeemed into films, which ended up being a Blockbuster hit. Even today, the passion and craze for ‘Harry Potter’ haven’t gone down even a bit. Usually, films don’t live up to the standards of the books, but it wasn’t the case with Harry Potter. That being said, there is some interesting stuff for Potterheads. Here are a few Hogwarts Express scenes that were mentioned in the books but were missing from the movies.
Ginny being a member of ‘Slug club’
In the ‘Half-Blood Prince’ movie, Ginny Weasley is shown as a member of Horace Slughorn’s ‘Slug Club’. Unfortunately, the film did not explain why is it so. According to the book, Slughorn had witnessed Ginny using a Bat-Bogey Hex on Zacharias Smith. He was so impressed that he decided to enlist her.
Hermione and Ron Were Made Prefects
In the novel, Hermione and Ron were made the prefects. In one of the scenes, mentioned in the book – Harry’s mood is worsened when Ron and Hermione are forced to sit away from him on the Hogwarts Express as they have been made prefects. Harry finds himself seated in a carriage along with Ginny, Neville, and Luna Lovegood.
Dursleys being threatened by Order of Phoenix
According to the ending of ‘Order of the Phoenix’ in the book, just as Harry gets off the Hogwarts Express, he is left stunned to see Alastor Moody, Nymphadora Tonks, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley waiting for him. The book showcases the order of the phoenix threatening the Dursleys and tell them they will visit them if Harry is mistreated. It appears as a sweet moment, especially when Harry is dealing with the death of Sirius.
Harry gives up his Triwizard cup money
Don’t we all remember the successful business of Weasley brothers – Wizard Wheezes. At the end of the ‘Goblet of Fire’, Harry was heartbroken after Cedric Diggory’s murder. Following this, he gave up his entire Triwizard Tournament prize money to Fred and George.
Sirius’ Letter and Pidwidgeon
At the end of ‘Prisoner of Azkaban’ book, Ron gets a replacement of Scabbers in the form of an owl, Pigwidgeon. The owl was sent by Sirius along with a sweet letter, wherein he promises to be there for Harry throughout the rest of his life. Sirius had also included the Hogsmeade permission slip, giving his consent so that Harry can visit the wizarding village.
Wormtail’s redemption and death
Harry Potter movies had also ignored Wormtail’s redemption and death. Wormtail’s original death has a lot more meaning and importance as he managed to reach a second redemption before being killed for betraying. His death in the book also featured that there was a part of him that regretted what he did to his friends. But the movies decided to ignore his redemption and death.

The wizarding world of Harry Potter is getting its magic back.
In the first official trailer for the retrospective special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, the beloved franchise’s star players Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint reunite for a journey through life-changing memories. The special premieres on HBO Max on Jan. 1 when the clock strikes midnight.
“The thing that scared me the most was the implication that the most meaningful thing was done,” Radcliffe recalls in the trailer. “And there’s something so joyous about seeing everyone, and be like, ‘It wasn’t though.’”
For the first time since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought the film series to a close in 2011, Return to Hogwarts reassembles not only the Gryffindor trio of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger, but also makes room for the full cast of characters that carried the films forward. In the trailer, Helena Bonham Carter whips out a set of old prop teeth to really feel the memory and the stage is set for additional appearances from Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton, and more.
The collection of actors recalls the early days of filming and the lasting impact of the eight-film series in the years since its conclusion. During a close sit-down in the trailer, Grint tells Watson: “It’s a very heartwarming thing ‘cause I’ve watched you grow up and I’ve seen kind of every stage of your life.”
She sums up the feeling simply: “When things get really dark and times are really hard, there’s something about Harry Potter that makes life richer.”
Also returning for the special filmmakers Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates as well as producer David Heyman, among others.
“There’s magic in the air here with this incredible cast, as they all return home to the original sets of Hogwarts, where they began 20 years ago,” executive producer Casey Patterson said in a statement. “The excitement is palpable as they prepare to take their fans on a very special and personal journey, through the making of these incredible films.”

Chris Columbus said Richard Harris thought Fawkes was a real bird in the second “Harry Potter” film.
Fawkes the phoenix was actually an animatronic that could move.
Daniel Radcliffe said that no one wanted to “break the spell,” and made the bird react to Harris.
Director Chris Columbus said that Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the first and second “Harry Potter” films before his death, believed that the animatronic Fawkes the phoenix was a real bird.
“So you and I had one of our greatest laughs together with Richard Harris,” Columbus told actor Daniel Radcliffe during the “Harry Potter” 20th anniversary special, which premiered Saturday on
. “We had an animatronic version of Fawkes the phoenix, and it was this big red bird that doesn’t exist in real life.”
“Richard came in, and looked at the phoenix, and said, ‘Wow, they train these animals marvelously these days,'” Columbus added.
Fawkes is Dumbledore’s pet phoenix who first appears in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” Harry first meets the bird in Dumbledore’s office on a “burning day,” where the phoenix bursts into flame and arises from its ashes anew. Later in the film, Fawkes brings Harry the Sorting Hat (and thereby the sword of Godric Gryffindor) and blinds the Basilisk.
According to Radcliffe, those in control of the bird were unwilling to “break the spell” for Harris, making it react to him.
“That, of course, got into a cycle where Richard was like, ‘The bird is responding to me,'” Radcliffe said. “We never told him.”
“No, we never told him,” Columbus said. “He just thought it was a real bird.”
In a previous interview with Insider, Columbus called Harris’ death “a devastating loss” for the film series. He explained that Harris was his first choice to play Dumbledore and he “couldn’t imagine anyone else” in the role. After Harris died, Columbus told Insider, the director had had “long” conversations with Peter O’Toole about taking over the role, but O’Toole “eventually decided, because he was best friends with Richard, that he didn’t feel it was right to step into those shoes.”
Harris died at age 72 of Hodgkin’s disease, The Guardian reported, only a month before the premiere of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” in 2002. That was his last appearance in the franchise, and he was succeeded by Michael Gambon as Dumbledore in the subsequent Harry Potter films.
“Richard was classic, probably one of the funniest men I’ve ever met,” Columbus said later in the HBO Max reunion special. “He was this devilish 11-year-old trapped in a 70-plus-year-old man’s body. He just had that glint in his eye, which made him the perfect Dumbledore, by the way. He was brutally hilarious.”
‘Never whisper in the presence of wrong’ is a quote attributed to Dr Bernard Lown, the founder president of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) from 1980 to 1993, who said, “The ticking of numerous time bombs demands critical re-examination of the existing world order. The new way of thinking must be a final awakening to our common origins, to our shared problems as well as to our common fate. If we all are to prevail, we must never delegate in the presence of challenge and never whisper in the presence of wrong”.
Lown said it in relation to the nuclear weapons, but it is true for several other situations as well. Any type of violence is a cause of concern as it causes both physical and mental trauma.
Violence is not just a law and order problem but an issue of public health importance. The world saw catastrophic impact on human health in 1945 when the US dropped atom bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Second World War led to loss of over 50 million lives and left over 90 million wounded. The USSR alone lost 18 million people.
The conflicts have not stopped thereafter. Dr. Barry S Levy, Adjunct Professor of Public Health, Tufts University School of Medicine in a presentation at an event organized by the IPPNW on February 19, 2022 pointed out that the studies have revealed that since 1990-2017, there have occurred 50000 direct deaths annually as a result of armed conflicts while the indirect deaths have been more than one million.
Many a times the conflicts are engineered by forces bent on using divisive ideology to spread hared in the society. They incite violence while harping on nostalgia of past glory and hyper-nationalism. In recent years, pushing society into violence has become a tool for some to remain in power.
Ethnic strife between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes was the cause of death of nearly 800,000 people in Rwanda. Such was the extent of the hatred that in many cases, husbands killed their wives who belonged to the other tribe.
Nearly 2.5 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims were killed in the communal violence following partition of India in 1947, causing a serious humanitarian crisis. The Taliban’s religious fundamentalism is a danger to the society. We don’t know how the Russia-Ukraine conflict will pan out.
Fearing a catastrophic situation in our country due to on-going acts of some bigots, supported at many places with overt or covert support of the State machinery, saner elements have expressed anguish at the events. Numerous videos have been circulating on social media condemning moves by the ‘Hindutva’ brigade to target minorities, especially Muslims, in many places. They have been appealing to the Prime Minister to break his silence on these incidents.
The right wing today seems to be faithfully carrying forward the agenda put forth by the second Sarsanghchalak (chief) of the RSS, MS Golwalkar who in his book ‘We, or Our Nationhood Defined’ clearly states that whenever they come to power, first of all hand over government property, State land and forests to 2-3 trusted rich people of the country. Make 95% people beggars and after that power will not be lost for seven generations, he said.
He also said that he was ready to be enslaved by the British for his entire life but did not want freedom which gave equal rights to Dalits, backward classes and Muslims.
Under the circumstances, it would be naïve for PM Modi to heed appeals to take such elements to task.
It is time to stand up and fight against this kind of ideology that splits the social fabric. This is not the time to be silent, but to speak up, always keeping in mind the quote: ‘Never whisper in the presence of wrong’.
Audiences will experience next chapter of ‘Harry Potter’ film concert series with Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performing John Williams’ music from entire film live to picture
√ Tickets available starting March 18 at ticketmaster.com
The “Harry Potter Film Concert Series” returns to the Artpark Mainstage Theater with “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Concert,” the third film in the “Harry Potter” series. On July 9, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra is performing this magical score live while the entire film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen.
In 2016, CineConcerts and Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced the “Harry Potter Film Concert Series,” a global concert tour celebrating the “Harry Potter” films. Since the world premiere of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Concert” in 2016, more than 3 million fans have enjoyed this magical experience from The Wizarding World, which is scheduled to include more than 1,434 performances across more than 48 countries worldwide through 2022.
Event organizers said, “Earning an Oscar nomination for the score, the spellbinding and masterful music composed by John Williams became a celebrated classic, conjuring beautiful, soaring motifs continuing the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends on their magical journey.”
Justin Freer, president of CineConcerts and producer/conductor of the “Harry Potter Film Concert Series,” explained, “The ‘Harry Potter’ film series is a once-in-a-lifetime cultural phenomenon that continues to delight millions of fans around the world. It is with great pleasure that we bring fans for the first time ever an opportunity to experience the award-winning music scores played live by a symphony orchestra, all while the beloved film is simultaneously projected onto the big screen. This is truly an unforgettable event.”
Brady Beaubien of CineConcerts, the concert producer for the “Harry Potter Film Concert Series,” added, “ ‘Harry Potter’ is synonymous with excitement around the world, and we hope that, by performing this incredible music with the full movie, audiences will enjoy returning to The Wizarding World.”

This type of Hindu Rashtra can also adopt some of the other discriminatory aspects against its religious minorities that states like Pakistan have chosen. For instance, non-Muslims vote in separate electorates, and the apostatised community of Ahmadis cannot call themselves Muslims and have no religious freedom. The BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has proposed that Muslims be disenfranchised, meaning lose their right to vote.
Germany in the 1930s adopted a set of laws that prevented inter-marriage between communities. In India, after 2018, seven BJP states have passed laws that also criminalise marriage between Muslims and Hindus. German laws excluded Jews from citizenship, and India has of course passed the CAA excluding Muslims, and the home minister has promised the NRC, which also targets what he calls ‘termites’.
Many of the things that India has done especially since 2019, with targeted laws and policy on namaz, hijab, beef, bulldozer, talaq and so on would also be something that we can see in an exclusionary Hindu Rashtra.
So, the question is, if we have already excluded Muslims from political office by default, and if we are already harassing them daily through laws, like Nazi Germany did and like Pakistan did, then why do we need a Hindu Rashtra or a change from the present set of laws?
My book concluded that we did not. That the present Constitution and laws give Hindus enough freedom to apply discrimination against non-Hindus legally, while still pretending to be pluralist, democratic and secular. There appears to be no particular advantage or benefit that we get in officially changing our constitutional and legal state from secular to Hindu Rashtra.
The United States’ top diplomat and defense chief are set to make their first wartime visits to Kyiv since Russia launched its unprovoked war on Ukraine two months ago, as intense fighting continues in the eastern part of the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on April 23 that he would meet in the capital the following day with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as he seeks more weapons to repel Russia’s invasion.
Live Briefing: Russia’s Invasion Of Ukraine
RFE/RL’s Live Briefinggives you all of the major developments on Russia’s invasion, how Kyiv is fighting back, the plight of civilians, and Western reaction. For all of RFE/RL’s coverage of the war, click here.
The visit would mark the highest-profile arrival by U.S. officials to war-ravaged Ukraine and follow a series of visits by European leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the presidents of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
The U.S. visit is an attempt by the Biden administration to “show personal support for Zelenskiy and Ukraine,” Bill Courtney, an analyst at the Washington-based RAND Corp and a former U.S. diplomat, told RFE/RL. The visit “suggests a level of confidence that Kyiv is safe enough for foreign leaders.”
Russian forces sought to capture Kyiv in the first weeks of the war, shelling parts of the capital and sending hundreds of thousands of residents fleeing the city. However, the Russian forces retreated after facing strong resistance.
The Kremlin is now refocusing its military campaign on capturing the Donbas region in the east.
Ukraine has requested heavy artillery from the West for the new phase of the war, which will take place on the region’s vast plains.
In his daily video address late on April 23 , Zelenskiy said he was “expecting specific things and specific weapons” from the meeting with the U.S. officials.
The Biden administration has already announced several billion dollars in military and economic aid to Ukraine since the war began, including another $800 million on April 21.
Austin may use the visit to get a better understanding of how Ukrainian military leaders see the new phase of the war progressing and gauge their future weapon needs, Courtney said.
Peace Effort Dead?
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears set on seizing as much Ukrainian territory as possible, having given up on peace talks, the Financial Times reported on April 24, citing three people briefed on conversations with the Russian president.
Putin told people involved in trying to end the conflict that he sees no prospects for a settlement, the paper said. Talks stalled after Zelenskiy earlier this month accused Russia of committing war crimes, the paper reported.
Russian forces have continued to press their attacks in the east, including on the besieged port city of Mariupol, the Ukrainian military said on April 24.
Ukraine’s General Staff said the Russians fired on Ukrainian positions along the entire line of contact on the war’s 60th day. It also said the Russian military intensified its offensive and assault operations in the Severodonetsk, Kurakhiv, and Popasna directions.
Russian forces also intensified their assaults on cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine.
Luhansk region Governor Serhiy Hayday said on April 24 that eight people were killed and two others were wounded in a Russian barrage the day before.
In the strategic Black Sea port of Odesa, government officials said a Russian missile strike hit a military facility and two residential buildings, killing at least five people and injuring 18, although the reports could not immediately be confirmed.
The Ukrainian presidential office said a 3-month-old child was among those killed.
“Among those killed was a 3-month-old baby girl. How did she threaten Russia? It seems that killing children is just a new national idea of the Russian Federation,” Zelenskiy said.
Ukraine’s Prosecutor-General’s Office said on April 24 that at least 213 children had been killed in the war, and 389 wounded.
The Prosecutor-General’s Office added that the figures were not final and that work was under way to establish them in areas of hostilities.
In the eastern Donetsk region, the governor said two children were killed on April 24 in shelling by Russian forces.
Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a post on Telegram that the children, girls aged 5 and 14, had died in the Ocheretynsk community after the building where they lived was destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military said on April 23 it destroyed a Russian command post in Kherson, a southern city that fell to Russian forces early in the war.
The command post was hit on April 22, killing two generals and critically wounding another, the Ukrainian military intelligence agency said in a statement. The Russian military did not comment on the claim.
British military intelligence said on April 24 that Ukraine had repelled numerous Russian assaults along the line of contact in Donbas this week.
Despite Russia making some territorial gains, Ukrainian resistance has been strong across all axes and inflicted a significant cost on Russian forces, the U.K. Ministry of Defense tweeted in a regular bulletin.
“Poor Russian morale and limited time to reconstitute, re-equip and reorganize forces from prior offensives are likely hindering Russian combat effectiveness,” the update said.
In its latest analysis, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War said Russian forces did not appear to be pausing to refit or mass their troops as they redeployed and were likely to step up their offensives.
“Russian forces will likely increase the scale of ground offensive operations in the coming days, but it is too soon to tell how fast they will do so or how large those offensives will be,” it said.
Senior Ukrainian negotiator and presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak said on April 24 that Russian forces were continuously shelling Mariupol and urged Moscow to agree a “real Easter truce.”
Russia has largely reduced Mariupol to rubble as it seeks to crush the last vestiges of resistance holed up at the massive local steel plant.
The UN’s Ukraine crisis coordinator, Amin Awad, on April 24 called for an “immediate stop” to fighting in Mariupol to allow the evacuation of trapped civilians in the battered city “today.”
“The lives of tens of thousands, including women, children, and older people, are at stake in Mariupol,” Awad said in a statement. “We need a pause in fighting right now to save lives.” Awad said Orthodox Easter provided an opportunity to halt hostilities.
His call came after the latest of many attempts to evacuate civilians from Mariupol failed on April 23.
The UN statement said there was an estimated 100,000 civilians trapped in the city, which has been heavily devastated after being besieged by Russian forces for weeks.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said on April 24 that it was “deeply alarmed” by the situation in Mariupol, calling for unimpeded access to help residents, including hundreds of wounded.
“Each day, each hour that passes has a terrible human cost,” the ICRC said in a statement.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the Academy Award-winners behind “Good Will Hunting,” are teaming up on a movie about Nike’s efforts to sign Michael Jordan to a sneaker deal, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro, who was featured in the 2015 ESPN 30 for 30 “Sole Man,” and Nike co-founder Phil Knight will be the central characters of the movie.
According to reports, Damon will portray Vaccaro, and Affleck will play Knight. Affleck and Damon won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for “Good Will Hunting” and the two collaborated on the screenplay for and starred in 2021’s “The Last Duel.” Affleck, who will direct the film, also won an Academy Award for Best Picture as a producer for “Argo.”
‘White Men Can’t Jump’ at 30: Sneakers, bets and stories from an all-time sports movie
Nets-Celtics: After bird-flips and a buzzer-beater in Game 1, here’s what to watch for in Game 2
The movie will focus on Nike’s effort to sign Jordan in 1984 when Jordan was entering the NBA. Coming out of North Carolina, Jordan was the No. 3 overall pick of the 1984 NBA draft, and Vaccaro managed to do the impossible for what was, at the time, a minor shoe company and keep Jordan away from Adidas, Reebok and Converse. By doing so, Vaccaro helped transform Nike, the relationship between an athlete and a brand, and the sneaker industry as a whole.
“Even though I never envisioned myself wearing the (Nike) shoe, the creativity that it provided to me and the education of what this is all about — what I wear on my feet and how it enhances my athletic ability — I’m happy with the choice,” Jordan said in 2004.
In 2021, Yahoo! Finance reported that Jordan Brand, an offshoot of Nike, did $5 billion in sales and, in 2020, Forbes estimated that Nike has paid Jordan an estimated $1.3 billion since 1984.
Affleck and Damon are coming in at the genesis of all that.
Vaccaro, who is now 82 years old, helped to make the sneaker industry what it is today by signing players like Jordan and Kobe Bryant to multi-million dollar shoe deals with Nike.
“I don’t think people understood how my career evolved. I wanted the public to know how sneaker marketing started. For better or worse, this is who I am,” Vaccaro told ESPN about “Sole Man” in 2015. “I don’t think people understood how my relationships with coaches evolved and how I got involved with Nike. This is how Jordan happened, this is how Kobe happened.”
“Sole Man” was co-directed by Jon Weinbach, who is president of Skydance Sports. Weinbach was also a producer of the Emmy-winning ESPN series “The Last Dance,” which he did with Mandalay Pictures chairman Peter Guber, who will produce the upcoming movie. Now they’ll team up again for another part of the Jordan story.
