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 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 Privet Drive. The scene where Harry and friends have their first potions class is also extended. 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. 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.
In fact, only the first two movies in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," have extended editions available for fans to enjoy. The extended editions of these two movies feature additional scenes that were not included in the original theatrical releases. I know that there are extended cuts of Harry Potter films #1 and #2 (Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets), for example part of Harry Potter Wizards Collection BluRay set.
But that set doesn't have extended cuts for any other 6 films. Do those 6 films starting with Prisoner of Azkaban have extended cuts? If no, is there any explanation of why not? To begin exploring the question of extended versions, let's start with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (or "Sorcerer's Stone" in the U.S.). I've been doing some research and have seen posts and comments from even just 40 days ago saying the extended versions are on Peacock.
Am I missing something? I'm in the "The Wizarding World: Extended Versions" section and Sorcerers Stone is 2h 31m and IMDb shows theatrical runtime was the same.
