The Most Intense Harry Potter Scene We Never Got To See

As a competitor in the dangerous, multi-school Triwizard Tournament, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) has some huge obstacles to overcome during Goblet of Fire, including a mysterious golden egg, which itself is a clue as to what Harry will face in the second of three tasks. After getting some cryptic advice from his fellow Hogwarts competitor Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson), Harry brings his egg to the private prefect's bathroom, a scene which does make it into the final cut of the film. What happens right after Harry's bathroom outing, howeer, ended up on the cutting room floor.

On his way back to the Gryffindor common room and dorm, Harry, clad in his Invisibility Cloak, slips on a staircase with a fake step, getting his foot stuck with no way out and dropping his egg, which causes a racket by screaming. Almost immediately, Hogwarts' caretaker Argus Filch and Potions professor Severus Snape — played in the films by David Bradley and Alan Rickman — arrive on the scene, though they're the two last people Harry wants to see. Naturally, as Harry's nemesis, Snape immediately suspects Harry thanks to the tell-tale egg, but before he can discover Harry under his cloak, Mad-Eye Moody (played in the movies by Brendan Gleeson), a fellow professor friendly with Harry, appears.

Invisible and trapped on the stairs, Harry is forced to watch as Filch, Snape, and Mad-Eye squabble over the mysterious egg, as well as the fact that someone broke into Snape's office earlier that night. Ultimately, Mad-Eye rescues Harry — as his magical eye can see through Harry's cloak — and the two discover that Barty Crouch, a Ministry of Magic official, broke into Snape's office, though the truth behind that story comes much later.
