* The two halves of ''Deathly Hallows'' were written and filmed as one giant four-hour film. It was worked out in editing where to put the break between ''Part 1'' and ''Part 2''. Originally, the break was tentatively planned to occur after the Trio is captured by the Snatchers, but it got moved to after Voldemort recovers the Elder Wand. This means the battle at Malfoy Manor was originally intended as the beginning of ''Part 2'', but instead became the end of ''Part 1''.

!The Book
* Ice cream parlour owner Florean Fortescue was supposed to have a much bigger role in the book's story - he was originally supposed to be kidnapped and saved by Harry, Hermione, and Ron, then given them clues about the Elder Wand and Ravenclaw diadem. This was cut as, in Rowling's words, the sequence was "going nowhere", though it does explain why the closure of Fortescue's shop and his kidnapping [[{{Foreshadowing}} receives such emphasis]] in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince Half-Blood Prince.]]''
* As Rowling wanted a SacrificialLion, this resulted in [[spoiler:Lupin and Tonks]] getting killed off in the last book. [[spoiler:Arthur again]] very nearly got killed off too. Ultimately it was [[spoiler:Fred]] who was killed.
* Rowling was originally going to make Helga Hufflepuff's Horcrux a cauldron, but decided that a cauldron was just too clunky to be an effective Horcrux.
* Creator/EvannaLynch revealed that Rolf Scamander (Luna's future husband) almost made it into the book and would have been the one to explain ''The Tale of the Three Brothers''. The role was given to Luna's father instead.
* A lot of material released after the last book's release (such as the trio's lives after Hogwarts) were trivia Rowling would've liked to include in the actual book.
* Rowling considered giving Dudley a Muggle-born wizard child for the epilogue, but in the end decided that "no wizarding traits would ever survive contact with Uncle Vernon's DNA". Shame, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that would have been a lovely little twist.]]
* ''Curse of Nagini'' was trademarked in 2005 by WB after Rowling gave them a rough [[https://www.trademarkelite.com/europe/trademark/trademark-detail/004666211/CURSE-OF-NAGINI list of potential titles]], suggesting that her WasOnceAMan storyline that was re-worked into ''Fantastic Beasts'' was originally supposed to be introduced here.
!The Film
* The film was intended to be a single installment just like the rest of the series. However, the creators found it too difficult to compress the book into one film due to the relative lack of extraneous subplots the others had.
* For the first time, Del Toro expressed genuine interest in directing, but was concerned Creator/WarnerBros would [[ExecutiveMeddling try to interfere too much.]]
* Music/JohnWilliams wanted to return to compose the score, but a scheduling conflict prevented him from doing so.
* Creator/BillyConnolly was in talks to play Xenophilius Lovegood.
* Creator/KateWinslet was the first choice for the Grey Lady, but as with Naomi Watts in the previous, they couldn't get through her agent, and Creator/KellyMacdonald got the part instead. It's unknown whether Winslet would have said yes. This marks the second franchise Winslet narrowly missed out on (having nearly played Sauron in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''), though she would eventually get to be part of a franchise with ''{{Literature/Divergent}}''.
* Crabbe would've [[spoiler: suffered the same death he had in the book]] had [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor his actor not been found with marijuana.]] His role as the sole [[spoiler: casualty of the Fiendfyre is given to Goyle.]]
* Producers tried to change Minerva's duel with Snape to happening with Harry instead. Rowling had to step in, insisting the duel was an essential part of Minerva's character.
* There was serious consideration for filming the deaths of [[spoiler: Lupin and Tonks.]]
* A scene during the final battle was filmed where Draco would toss Harry his wand after [[spoiler: he reveals that he's alive to Voldemort.]]
* The epilogue had to be re-shot because the [[spoiler: aging make-up on Creator/DanielRadcliffe, Creator/EmmaWatson, Creator/RupertGrint, Creator/BonnieWright and Creator/TomFelton]] didn't look good in the footage. Photos exist showing drastically different costumes and hairstyles for the actors.
