Harry Potter ’s Wizarding World is very plenteous , with a miscellanea of characters ( both whiz and muggles ) , place , objects , and more , so it ’s understandable that not all of them made it to the movies , such as Professor Cuthbert Binns . Readers all over the world were introduced to J.K. Rowling ’s Wizarding World in 1997 withHarry Potter and the Philosopher ’s Stone , where they met the title hero along with his good friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley , his foe Draco Malfoy , and many of the teachers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry .

Fans of the book series got to see what the Wizarding World would face like in real biography thanks to theHarry Pottermovie series , which began in 2001 and cease in 2011 withHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 . But like with many other books that are adapt to the freehanded blind , many details and fictitious character had to be left behind for different reason , among those one of the most peculiar teacher at Hogwarts .

Professor Cuthbert Binns taught account of Magic at Hogwarts , and what made him especial is that he was a ghost . One day , Binns fell asleep in the staff room and die in sleep , but he get up the next dawning ( as a ghost , of class ) and cover instruction . unhappily , Binns did n’t make it to theHarry Pottermovies .

Why Professor Binns Wasn’t In The Harry Potter Movies

Ghosts were mostly ignored in theHarry Pottermovie series , with onlyNearly Headless Nick(played by John Cleese ) getting very little blind clip and few dialogues , as well as the ghost of Helena Ravenclaw ( Nina Young and Kelly Macdonald ) . Other touch such as the Bloody Baron and the Fat Friar only look briefly , but Professor Binns was leave behind behind entirely . Aside from being the only ghost serving as professor at Hogwarts , Binns was do it for having the most ho-hum class , with students often falling asleep .

Unlike other characters who were n’t included in the moving-picture show for either tale or technical understanding , there is n’t an factual explanation on why Binns did n’t make it , but it ’s believe it was because he was n’t all that interesting – if the students could n’t handle him , looker would n’t have either . His most relevant moment in the book was explain Harry ’s class the legend of the Chamber of Secrets , a moment that was impart toProfessor McGonagallin the movie . Binns only appearances outside the al-Qur’an have been in the Game Boy Color adaptation , LEGO Harry Potter : Years 1 - 4and5 - 7 , and most recently inHarry Potter : Hogwarts Mystery . Even though he has been pretty much forgotten , Professor Binns is and will always be part of theHarry Potteruniverse , even if his only legacy are his fabled boring classes .
