Even though Warner Bros.' Harry Potter franchise is still hailed as one of the best movie franchises of all time, it's a fairly common sentiment that the biggest reason for the films' success is J.K. Rowling's books, since it was the author who created the characters and plotlines, and Hollywood screenwriters simply adapted her work for the big screen.

And while this notion is largely true, it's not as if the movies simply copied Rowling's work without adding anything new to the story. In fact, many of the scenes in the Harry Potter movies were actually improvised!

Here are the 7 best unscripted scenes in the Harry Potter movies, ranked:

Apparently, many of the most memorable Harry Potter moments were actually unscripted, with the actors improvising on the spot. Considering how much time the actors spend working on the franchise, it's not really surprising that most of them started to understand their heroes perfectly and were able to improvise the scenes successfully.

It's quite rare to see so much improvisation in the book adaptations, as directors are usually a bit intimidated to change the words of the original authors, fearing the wrath of publishers and fans.

Luckily, the directors of Harry Potter were not afraid to experiment and gave the fans these great improvised scenes!
