    • Trivia
      In his (deleted) scene from 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)', his character (Borgin) tells Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), "Pure wizard blood is counting for less everywhere, I'm afraid." However, when watching this scene with captions (for example, on the US cable channel Freeform, which restores most of the deleted scenes from all eight "Harry Potter" movies), the words "counting for less" are replaced with "...".
