I was disappointed they'd left Peeves out. I thought that they'd just left him out because they didn't want the character in it...but now I find out that Mayall was Peeves until they cut the character?
"The reason he was cut is that none of us were happy with the design. David [Heyman] and I looked at the design of Peeves and thought, We can get it better. So we shot the sequence but we won't have it ready for the initial release of the DVD. We'll try and get it out for maybe a year and a half, two years, from now." -Chris Columbus
He;s being really bitter and he knew the name of the person he was playing straight away but he just tried to make it seem like he didn't. I have lost a little respect for this guy now.
@GameOfYears You can't read people very well can you? Anyone with half a brain can see that he's not at all bitter or pretending to remember the name.
As much as I like Rik Mayall it was probably the best idea not to have him in the film because he would have upstaged everyone. He does it in everything he's in, I think he just can't help himself.
A friend of mine worked on the film and she told me it was 2 of the Warner Bros (us) executives that had him cut from the film because they personally dint like him. Even though J.K. Rowling and the director Chris Columbus wanted him in the film.
i was going to reply with some witty comment and a slight rant about how much better this film would have been with rik but I see you lot have all beaten me to it, well done I hope your proud of yourselves
It's since I saw this video I didn't like the series too much. Hence why I'm not that excited about the last film coming out. Why would I go see a film series that cut out the pure GENIUS of The Rik Mayall in the first film?!
I like the HP movies but ever since I saw the first one I was dissapointed that they didn't cast Peeves. He was one of my favorite characters in the books (especially the fifth one where he teams up with the teachers against Umbridge) and I was really looking forward to see him in the movies. Now that I've found out Rik Mayall would have taken that part it's even more dissapointing that he wasn't in it. He would have been perfect for that role
As much as I love the films, they didn't have Peeves. Rik would've been perfect. So, hold up. They filmed the scenes with Peeves, yet they've excluded them from every single DVD edition!? The nerve!
how dare they treat this Mr. Mayall this way! Fuck harry potter! i everyone involved dies a horrible death!
i personally have not earned the right to address him by his first name! but they dimiss him from the movie! what ever they paid him for his work was not enough in my opinion.
Told all my friends that Peeves was cut from Harry Potter. They all got pissed. There you go. Now, Warner Bros, release the cut scenes for all to see!
Well, there's support of this: During the troll scene where Ron says "Trolls are really stupid! Probably people playing jokes." That wasn't a refilm. They had no time to re-film that. So they had Rupert Grint dub it.
Rik Mayall is right. Without him, it's crap. Peeves was crucial in later on in the series (against Umbridge) and they rejected him.
i always wondered why peeves wasnt in the films, now i know.. but maann, i wish rik mayall played peeves so badly now, hed be perfect hed just have to act like drop dead fred but without the sweet side
OMG!!! NOW I'M FREAKIN' PISSED!!! i wanted peeves to be in the movie too!!! they had peeves cast as rik mayall and didn't even put him in the movie?!?!?!?! AAAAHHHH!!! rik mayall was perfect for that part and he wasn't even put in it! SO MAD!!!!
*LMAO* Well he was always MY Peeves, before they even made the films, and he always will be. They were idiotic to cut him, he's clearly wasted on stuff like that (goes to show how great he would have been if he had the cast on set corpsing!). He would have been perfect for Peeves, there's no-one else on the planet who could have played him as well as Rik. Thrilled he has such a great sense of humour about it, he's a good sport. Makes me adore him even more.
By the sounds of it, he's only upset about being cut out of the film because of how popular Harry Potter became, so I couldn't be less sympathetic towards him if I wanted to be.
If you read Peeves in the Harry Potter books, you can tell that the character is similar to Drop Dead Fred, which all of you know was immortalised by Rik. So, maybe that's why...?
WHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I have wanted Peeves to be in a "Harry Potter" movie since "Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone!!!!!!!! Now, I find out that RIK FREAKING MAYALL was going to play him? Who was the idiot who decided to cut him? He would have been amazing!!!!!
@waterwind2266 chris colombus. hes a hack, hes lucky the source material was good enough to make his take on the 1st movie worth watching. he couldve easily cut a few of the classroom scenes and left peeves in...sigh
@waterwind2266 My thoughts EXACTLY!!! I about died when I found out they cut him! He is so amazing!! I wish they would make an extended version and put him back in! I LOVE THIS DUDE!
I wish they would added his scenes in the ultimate editions, I still can't believe peeves is not in the films he is great! and this man is very funny I hate chris colombus or whoever fault was
@Hypnosis I know, so do I!! Don't think it exists though, but still... would have been so great! I still haven't forgiven them for cutting him from the film.
Above all, the film director was American, so I don't think American film directors understand our top British comedians, like Rik Mayall. Damn American film makers! They need to be well-open minded about these things! They suck!
I think they shouldve done what Peter Jackson did with Lord of The Rings: film the entire (or most of) the book and have a theatrical release (shortened) and then an extended version. Rik couldve been kept and been on the extended version goddammit!
i like riks faux arrogance. and the way he keeps mentioning money. the one rule of the industry is that you dont talk about cash. i think a good actor can let the parts of them selves out that are required in a role. and i think somewhere in rik is an intensely unlikeable person.
Hahaha, I love Rik!!! As soon as I heard about the book being turned into a film, Rik was the first person I thought of to play Peeves. Especially because I thought he was similar to Drop Dead Fred which I love also.
@vapourmile what are you talking about??? in the young ones, he is one of the most disliked characters and he helps write the show. he wouldn't steal it, he is an amazing actor and writer.
No. I just thought that sense they're now releasing an extended cut of 1-6 the filmmakers might be reasonable & could possibly put Peeves in them. that's all I said.
I would've just watched Rik's parts over and over than watch Harry Potter. Rik though just got money for nothing, THE DIRECTORS GOT OWNED AND LEFT THEIR SELVES IN THE GUTTER!!!
He was gonna be Peeves!? Dude, that would of been awesome! I'm still mad they cut Peeves from all the films, he's one of my favorite characters in the books.
@NinjaSquirrel19: yeah man me too. He didn't had to have a very present role in the movies but just just background things like let students trip on marbles or throwing inkwells at them or something like that :)
I wish they had included Peeves in the Harry Potter films. Loved his character. And now finding out that Rik was going to be playing Peeves, and even did filming for it, was not even put IN the film, makes me a bit sad.
Rik just has an amazing potential to do a dark and evil character and I really loved the scene shown in this vid. Whoever decieded to remove him was an absolute retard!!!!
@scottreinigerlover yes i do scott, very very cute. :-) and all that hair, mmmmm baby! and that laugh he did before he said i hadn't told my kids i wasn't in it yet, very very sexy. :-)
I know, right? >=( And I love Peeves, too. Pity he only appeared in the video games and the books... He played an important role in the books at that part of The Order Of The Phoenix when Fred and George escaped...
Damn... I love Harry Potter, but seriously, no PEEVES? -.-
@tigerdragon81 he's a character actor meaning he can change and use so much emotion in his face (like many british actors) and yeah he would have gotten good money for it but the movie wouldn't be as good as him..
@tigerdragon81 ahh ya know. Christopher Columbus, the film director, is American so I don't think he understands our Top British Comedians like Rik Mayall :P I hate it when American film makers doulbt about the genius comedians we have. It sucks!!
@AppleFlavoredCyanide I may have worded it wrong-yes he did get the part, but if you read my previous comment with respect - i said he was cut from film!!! :P
@tigerdragon81 They cut him out for two reasons. One he was better than everyone else and would have overshadowed them and two, because the 'main' actors weren't professional enough to let him film his takes.
@NoHalfPints with respect why are you even bothering replying to a comment I made over a year ago? Furthermore I was just stating my opinion... and I don't need to breathe as you put it.
Why is he being so obnoxious, like swearing and being all cocky. But not in a good way. He seems like he thinks he's all that. BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY. I hope its just this interview coz I LOVE RIK. I love him as Rich (in F,R&Catflap) as Rik in Young Ones, and as Rich in Bottom. Love everything about his style and the way he moves and shouts all the time! But this just disappointed me.
A real comedy genius.

Damn... I love Harry Potter, but seriously, no PEEVES? -.-

@tigerdragon81 he's a character actor meaning he can change and use so much emotion in his face (like many british actors) and yeah he would have gotten good money for it but the movie wouldn't be as good as him..

@tigerdragon81 ahh ya know. Christopher Columbus, the film director, is American so I don't think he understands our Top British Comedians like Rik Mayall :P I hate it when American film makers doulbt about the genius comedians we have. It sucks!!

@tigerdragon81 He did get the part, they just cut Peeves from the film : P

@AppleFlavoredCyanide I may have worded it wrong-yes he did get the part, but if you read my previous comment with respect - i said he was cut from film!!! :P

@tigerdragon81 They cut him out for two reasons. One he was better than everyone else and would have overshadowed them and two, because the 'main' actors weren't professional enough to let him film his takes.

@NoHalfPints with respect why are you even bothering replying to a comment I made over a year ago? Furthermore I was just stating my opinion... and I don't need to breathe as you put it.

@ the end: "It WAS crap, 'cause I wasn't IN it." LOL Rik's lines are always pure win.

They soo shouldn't have cut Peeves out of it ... he would have been a good Peeves!
But he seems really up himself when he says "It's crap cos I wasn't in it". Seriously that's just arrogance.

Wow.... :( i dont think i like real Rik :'(
Why is he being so obnoxious, like swearing and being all cocky. But not in a good way. He seems like he thinks he's all that. BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY. I hope its just this interview coz I LOVE RIK. I love him as Rich (in F,R&Catflap) as Rik in Young Ones, and as Rich in Bottom. Love everything about his style and the way he moves and shouts all the time! But this just disappointed me.
Does anyone else see it?...
