The Harry Potter Extended Versions have the deleted scenes, found on the home movie releases, cut back into the film. The extended versions of the first two movies were first seen on the ABC Family TV Network in 2004. The Ultimate Edition releases of Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets in 2009 included the extended versions of each film.
They are the only extended editions released on DVD. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Comparison: Theatrical Cut - Ultimate Edition (TV-Extended)). The DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the films provide extended content for the first two films, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
There are extended editions of only the Philosopher's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. They don't add all that much really. Certainly not to the level of the extended editions of something like the Lord of the Rings.
The only scenes I specifically remember being new when I watched them were in the Philosopher's Stone. There's several new scenes added to the beginning section of the film at. On the train: Hagrid and Harry take the train to London, and Hagrid reveals his love for dragons.
Snape's Class: An extended version of Snape's potions class. Finding Flamel: Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover Nicholas Flamel's name in a wizard card while looking for a counter curse for Neville's leg locker curse. ONLY Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets have officially released extended editions.

So, I bought all of the Potter films on Amazon years ago, so I always just watch them there. But recently I saw that Peacock has "extended editions" of the films. So I decided to give a watch.
I had seen the extended "Philosopher's Stone" before and some of the deleted scenes on YouTube but not actually edited within the films. This project aims to present the eight Harry Potter films with an extended runtime that helps expand on the characters, story and improves the pacing, along with restoring some unused music back into some scenes. I have always wanted Warner Bros to release extended editions of the Harry Potter films like New Line did with Lord of the Rings.
Harry Potter is one of the most successful series put to film, but it's surprisingly hard to find out information on what versions of the films are available. Today we answer the question, where are the extended editions for Harry Potter?
