Chris Columbus Can't Sleep at Night Because of Scenes Cut from "Harry Potter"

The "Home Alone" director was responsible for the first three films about the young wizard. What's eating at him?

In an interview with RadioTimes, Columbus noted that he's incredibly envious of the creators behind the new series based on J.K. Rowling's works, since they'll be able to include far more scenes from the original source material.

He still deeply regrets that runtime constraints prevented him from including Peeves the poltergeist in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," as well as a scene where Hermione and Harry sample magical potions and nearly die in the process. "It still keeps me up at night sometimes. I hope those moments will appear in the series," Columbus admitted. The zoomboola.com editorial team reminds readers: HBO recently revealed the names of actors who will play Fred, George, Percy, and Ginny in the series. Previously, the show's creators faced heavy criticism on social media for casting a black actor as Severus Snape.
