Beyond simple fanaticism, I still believe that Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is amongst the greatest films of 2010. My love for the epic fantasy has only grown with the subsequent months since I made my constantly self-correcting list of the best films of 2010, placing it currently around the #4 spot. There is such powerful storytelling at work that transcends anything the series has given us before. It's hard to believe that it could be an incomplete film, but a recently released deleted scene from the film featuring Aunt Petunia saying goodbye to Privet Drive makes me wish for an extended edit of the film. Either that or they replace Ron's relatively pointless standing bit at the beginning with this emotional farewell. Take a look below at this truly dynamic scene that widens the scope of the already epic beyond imagination finale. Special accolades for Fiona Shaw's wonderful final performance in the series.

Wouldn't it be cool if for the 3D re-release of this film this summer (it's bound to happen) they release the extended edition to include scenes like that and Dudley's handshake? I mean a lot of the deleted scenes sound interesting, and this scene shows that the Dursleys deserved a better send off than what they got in the movie!
