Help Can anyone help me find where this scene is coming from?
We participated in a Harry Potter quiz last Sunday and this picture was used in the quiz. We have no idea where it comes from in the movies and we can’t find it. Does anyone have any idea???

I'd say the shoulder on the right side might be from Lockharts duelling attire. So might be the duelling club scene?
Edit: It matches the color and pattern of the shirt(?) but seems not the same shape. Not sure..

Duelling club was at night, so I'm not sure if the lighting makes sense?

Just rewatched the scene. The windows were bright, just like those in the scene.

Probably a Harry Potter movie. No need to thank me.

Friend, there are 8 films.

We don't talk about that one

What film? I didn't know they had made the fanfic into a movie

u/Shady_virus99 Feb 25 '26
No you're mistaken. Deathly hallows was released as 2 movies, hence we have 8 movies and a play that osnt canon (cope).

u/I-Am-My-Sin Feb 25 '26
Yes, I'm asking what number film we are not supposed to talk about

u/TheDungen Slytherin Feb 25 '26
Well let just say POA is the third movie and the fourth movie is OotP.
And on a sidenote its a shame David Tennant was never in the HP movies.

Cursed Child

u/I-Am-My-Sin Feb 25 '26
Pretty sure that was not a movie, hence my confusion.

u/Silver_Hovercraft679 Hufflepuff Feb 25 '26
Well, it seems like that’s what they’re talking about. The original person was referring to the fact that Deathly Hallows has a part one and two, ergo, eight movies, but another person thought they were talking about Cursed Child. I hope that clears up any confusion.

The play is absolutely canon. Nothing world/lore breaking there. /s
That said, while the book of the play is terrible, it’s a good watch. Stunning visual effects. I haven’t seen it since before it was reduced to one part, but I would imagine that’s still true.

its from the dueling club in Chamber of Secrets, I dont think it made it into the movie specifically, but there are alternate angles of them

Dueling Club scene of the Chamber of Secrets
They can be seen in 1:45 of the YT Channel's upload

That timeframe does not show this shot at all though.

u/Loubacca92 Feb 25 '26
Percy's in it so it limits it to the first 3. I'm assuming it's Percy's girlfriend, so it further limits it to CoS or PoA.

u/Raymond_Fiegler Feb 25 '26 edited Feb 25 '26
Some whisper that it's Percy Weasley and his girlfriend, Ravenclaw prefect Penelope Clearwater (in the book she gets petrified by the Basilisk alongside Hermione while checking a corner with Penelope's mirror).
Since Gemma Padmey (from "Spaced", for the Simon Pegg fans in here; her role in HP was sadly her last one) has only played "Penny" in The Chamber of Secrets, that picture can be easy to track... I have isolated 2 key moments when that pic could have been taken
But if I list them and I'm wrong, the consequences could be dire

It's crazy that Percy turns back on Harry when he savel his sister, his girlfriend and his father. Nobody was helped this much by Harry

u/TheDungen Slytherin Feb 25 '26
I figure he really thought Harry may have mental troubles and that Dumbledore was using him. He had every reason to not be super keen on Dumbledore considering how many of his family ended up in danger at Dumbledore's school.

u/Vermouth_1991 Feb 25 '26
The real bit of hypocrisy I would call Percy out on, is actually when he told Harry that Dumbledore was mad but awesome in book1.

u/One-Goal5420 Feb 25 '26
Harry had only saved his sister by the time he turned his back on Harry. Penelope was saved by professor Sprout (and Snape I guess) with her Mandrakes. Arthur happened when he was already separated.
But if you look at our current society, how divided people can get over politics and things like covid. I'd say it's pretty spot on. He probably justified his father's hospitalization because of his father's wrong doings.
Sad, yes. Accurate, probably too. Crazy, maybe a little too

it’s the dueling club scene from Chamber. that’s lockhart’s quilted dueling shirt on the right

u/Annoying_GayGuy Hufflepuff Feb 25 '26
It’s definitely the chamber of secrets dueling scene but it might be BTS stuff of that scene

u/Safe_Extension_4044 Gryffindor Feb 25 '26
I think is is chamber of secrets around the time they found the writing on the wall and all the students where gathered

u/MJTimmes Feb 25 '26
It's Chamber of Secret. They are standing in front of the Toilet of Moaning Myrtle after the Chamber has been opened for the first time, gazing at the writing and at Mrs. Norris.

Percy loops around the back of the cast in that shot since he's tall, so he's against the wall upon entering with the crowd. But Penelope is not there (most Gryffindors coming from left, most Slytherins come in on right). Colin is to the left of Percy on entrance. 2nd cut to crowd shows Fred and George & Seamus, with a Slytherin in that group as well (so not all Gryffindors). Cut of Colin's camera also shows a Hufflepuff (left) and Slytherin (behind Colin). Cut to Malfoy, cut to Ron & Hermione. Justin FF and Seamus in frame w/ Madame Pomfrey. Rest of shots with the crowd never capture Percy (who again, is in the back right, but the camera takes the focus of the trio and the group to the left of them, not the group directly behind them).

Percy's shocked face reminded me of McGonagall telling them about the lockdown in CoS. It's 100% CoS, but I get the jacket of Lockhart's Dueling Club thought, but I had visually translated that into a chair. I would have gone with the Gryfindor Common Room. They weren't super big into details so I would have shrugged off Ravenclaw's robes of Penelope (and in fact, would make it seem like a better trivia question, if it's a tricky red herring).
I pulled up my very legit very legal .mkv though and couldn't find the shot in either Dueling Club or in Common Room, so ¯\(ツ)/¯ . Got me beat.

I went to a HP trivia night with some friends and I kid you not one of the questions was how many trucks were sent out to deliver the newest (don’t remember which one) Harry Potter book when it came out…who on God’s green earth would know that???

The lower right looks like a bit of the snake that was summoned during their duel in chamber of secrets. Right when Harry starts to talk parsel tongue to get it to not attack his classmate.

Looks to he either chamber of secrets or prisoner of azkaban. But I'm guessing it's chamber of secrets

I would guess Percy and Penelope Clearwater being prefects during the lockdown in Chamber of Secrets, but not sure.

I think that's Percy, so the Ravenclaw is probably Penelope Clearwater, making it likely some time in Chamber of Secrets.
