A Lost Scene and A Not Seen

Every movie has scenes that are "cut" from the movie, and Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone is no exception.  Below is a song sheet that was used by a Hogwart's student while singing the school song in a scene that was completely removed from the movie.   The scene doesn't even show up on the DVD as a cut scene (it must have been a pretty boring scene).  But it would have been another "on-screen" prop if the scene hadn't ended up completely on the cutting room floor. 

 

Hogwart's Song Sheet

Although the below item isn't from a lost scene, it is an item that just isn't "seen".  It's a fiberglass Hogwart's Crest that measures 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide.  When I got it, we thought it was just an unfinished Crest that was never painted or used in the first movie, perhaps it was an extra.  But after having two different professional plastic fabricators examine it, it seems that this is actually a MOLD that was used to create Hogwart's Crests for the first movie!  The professionals pointed out there were "pry marks" in specific locations, and that there were imbedded sand grains in the fiberglass which imply that it was a "male mold" used to create an impression in sand from which a "female mold" was created.    So, I may have gotten a really, really good deal on this item!
