13 things you didn’t know about Harry Potter – These facts are not even in the movie (With Pictures)

11. Nearly Headless Nick Nearly Had a Song

The Gryffindor house ghost, Nearly Headless Nick (John Cleese) could have treated viewers to a musical number as part of his Deathday celebrations in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In the books, Harry, Ron, and Hermione attend a Halloween “deathday” party, celebrating the 500^th anniversary of his botched execution. This scene was intended to be shown on the big screen, but didn’t make the final cut due to time constraints. Apparently, it wasn’t central to the plot.

If it had, we would have heard Cleese belting out ‘The Ballad of Nearly Headless Nick’, a tune describing the events of his death.
