Harry Potter: Tom Felton Wishes 1 Draco Malfoy Deleted Scene Made The Final Cut - Screen Rant

Summary

• The deleted scene in Chamber of Secrets explored Draco's complex relationship with his father, Lucius Malfoy.
• The omitted scene was crucial for understanding Draco's obedience to his dominant Death Eater parents.
• The missing moment could've added depth to Draco's character and showcased his struggle as the chief representative of Slytherin.

There is one Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets scene that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) wishes had not been cut. Chamber of Secrets was the second Harry Potter movie and was released in 2002. While the central members of the cast were Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Felton's Draco still played a central role as Harry's rival, as Harry spends much of the movie suspecting that Draco is Salazar Slytherin's heir.

Much of Chamber of Secrets is spent developing the lore of the Wizarding World, and the Malfoy family is a central part of that world. Still, in an interview with E! News, Felton revealed that there was one Chamber of Secrets scene that could have better communicated their importance. While it was released on a DVD, it never made the theatrical cut. Felton wishes that it could have made the final cut, as it was a rare opportunity to work with Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy). Check out his full quote below:

"I think the films were perfect in their own way. And they know a lot more about it than I do, I was only 13. But there's a scene with me — and it's actually the first time I've worked with ‘Dad' — at Borgin and Burkes. I think it's on one of the DVDs as a deleted scene... If I could go back and redo things, obviously there are things that I look back at myself as an 11-year-old and cringe and go, 'What are you doing?' But other than that, I think they told the stories perfectly."

Harry Potter's Missing Chamber Of Secrets Scene

The Deleted Scene Set Up Draco's Arc

The deleted scene from Chamber of Secrets featured Lucius and Draco visiting the Borgin and Burkes shop. After entering the store, Draco went to touch a magical item, and his father immediately took notice and struck him. After agreeing not to touch anything else, Draco would go on to try to touch yet another magical item, drawing his father's ire. He swiftly apologized, but his father remained a dominating presence. The scene also featured Harry trying to avoid their attention.

While the story of Harry Potterhas ended, it seems like the end is nowhere in sight yet for The Wizarding World. Let's look at every movie so far.

While not overwhelmingly important to Harry's story, this scene was essential to Draco's. It shows the influence that Draco's father has over him and the brutal methods that he has always used to ensure Draco's obedience. That makes Draco's later acquiescence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 more believable and comprehensible for viewers. As this is one of the few scenes that Felton starred in alongside Isaacs, it was also a rare opportunity to depict their complicated dynamic.

The Harry Potter movies are available for streaming on Peacock and Max.

He may not be the most important member of the Harry Potter cast, but Draco still deserved the opportunity to have his arc told fully and in-depth. As the central member of House Slytherin in Harry's life, he represented the House every time Gryffindor and Slytherin waged war. He also stood as the representative of young wizards living under threat of dominant Death Eater parents. The deleted Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets scene could have shown another side to Draco, and its removal prevented that.
