“I don’t believe anyone is truly good or truly evil. But I know Sophie wants to be good…and that should be good enough” That is so true

They should have kept this in. This is such an important moment, and in the book it makes such a big difference to the story and the character. I think this movie is really good, but it lacks many things from the books that would have made it more like the original story and this scene would have helped a great deal

They shouldn’t have deleted this scene it would have been very inspiring and motivational for people who have insecurities😭

THIS! THIS is the Dovey I love. She isn't buying into the "Beauty is what makes Good Good." She is the mother figure Agatha needed when she was taken away from her mom. She is the graceful, calm, and wise Dean who sees a truly Pure Good soul that doesn't believe she deserves love. I thought that they didn't cast her well enough but this scene alone tells me they UNDERSTOOD Dovey.

If they kept this scene in, it would’ve made Sophie’s transformation after the blood magic & evil spells all the more poignant. Really drive home the point of “ugly actions & words make YOU ugly.”

They should have kept this scene. It sends out a beautiful message. You don't need anything to make yourself beautiful. You do that yourself by being you and being confident in yourself.

In the book, this was my favorite scene. Before this, Agatha was lonely in the Good side. Everyone thought that she had been a mistake, and she thought so too. She dressed however she wanted to, and she didn't care for manners, because she already thought no one would care about her anyway. Even though she was good and kind. So, in this scene, Dovey gives her makeover. She gets a dress, and thinks that maybe people will like her. She goes about the castle and everyone likes her. She's beautiful. And then, she looks in the mirror... and it's just her. And she thinks it's a trick, because no one would ever believe that she's beautiful. But Dovey says that it's true. When she went out, she was still the same person and she was smiling. She was beautiful because she believed she was beautiful. And this hit me like a truck, because tomboyish, bookish little girls aren't supposed to want to be pretty. They don't care about being beautiful, until they think we can't be be beautiful. Until we think we can't be loved. But Agatha was bookish and boyish. Agatha believed she couldn't be loved. And Agatha was beautiful. And that helped me learn that I could be beautiful. That helped me learn I could be loved.

WHY WOULD THEY DELETE THIS?!??!!? Ugh it's such an incredible scene!

i love this scene i hate how they edited out all of Agatha's struggles and made her only focused on Sophie. This is a beautiful message that would mean a lot to young girls and boy who watched the movie!

WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS FOR FILLERS??? If anything THIS should’ve been kept in with how major character development Agatha had in the book and her having self-confidence of her looks. This was such a pivotal moment in the book where she realized she was beautiful all along and not ugly like people said-she only needed confidence and loving herself. The way this scene was shot is so beautiful and the fact they took this important scene out is sad 😭

Never read the book but I’m so upset this was deleted. Watching it I felt that Agatha’s storyline was cool but it was weighed down by how much of it revolves exclusively around Sophie. All of Aggie’s motivations are Sophie. She mentions leaving her mom (who she seems quite close to and swears can’t be alone) behind for like a second before immediately turning her worries back to Sophie who WANTED to leave. All of her actions lead back to wanting to be with this one girl. So much so that I was half expecting her to drop Teddy like a hot potato and confess to Sophie or something. I feel like her narrative as an independent character would’ve benefited from a scene that shows that her life before this didn’t just make her humble, strong and understanding. It also made her insecure, self-sacrificing and desperate to hold on to one of the only people that ever loved her as she was because she didn’t expect to get it anywhere else because she wasn’t ‘beautiful’. The movie basically uses her to fix everyone else and leaves this girl to battle all of that trauma (and forces her to combat Sophie’s) alone. The story we got feels like Aggie was just over-protective of her friend. When in reality it seems like Sophie had kind of become her whole identity and she never really developed a healthier one by the end of everything. She just gets Sophie back. I hope there’s a second movie because I really liked Aggie’s character but it didn’t feel like they did enough for her. Also fairy godmother put me in my feelings here this is so sweet!

Man, I wish they kept this in - I would’ve loved for my daughter to see this in the film. Yes I can show her the deleted scene now but it would’ve been more impactful within the flow and emotions of the movie. Man! Netflix… bad move EDIT: I see there’s a lot of ppl with the same sentiment… @Netflix is it too late to add it back in? We watch this movie over and over again waiting for the sequel… hopefully you can just squeeze it back in?!? 🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

They should've kept this to balance both of the characters since Sophie got her extremely evil transformation, Agatha should've also had her spotlight with this totally good transformation with the fairygod mother. A friend lit asked me if Sophie is the only protagonist when Aggie is also one.

They shouldn't delete this scene cause it will brought a great character development and personality for Agatha.

I'm ASTOUNDED that they left this scene out. As someone who's never read the books I did think the one major thing this movie was missing was some kind of closure for Aggie's arc, or rather for her to have an arc at all, and I can't believe they had it right here and just didn't include it. Plus it's such a nice genuine moment between her and Dovey, where most of their interactions had been Dovey being really pushy, and this was Dovey actually opening up to her for once.

This was one of the most important parts of the whole book. You don’t need looks to be beautiful. Confidence radiates beauty. That’s what so many kids need to hear…

Okay but Agatha saying "You can make me beautiful? Beautiful enough to be loved" in that breathless hopeful manner, is giving me 😭

I’m genuinely so shocked this was deleted. This was not only an iconic part of the books but also, an incredible message all around. Sofia’s acting in this is just phenomenal!

WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THE BOOK

THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIS! this is so important to Agatha's moment and change of confidence on herself. i was looking for this moment in the movie cause this moment stuck with me in the book because of how simple yet a turning point for agatha's insecure and then a boost of confidence.

Let's just hope this gets a re-release with this scene in it, because this is a beautiful scene

The fact that lady dovey is the fairy godmother makes everything make sense, this should have stayed

“My dear, there's no spell. True beauty is about being happy for being who you truly are." - Professor Dovey! 😭❤️

As someone who struggled with an eating disorder and still struggles with body image, this scene made me cry. They should have kept this in, it speaks to so many young girls (and guys) who struggle with the same things. Even if someone is conventionally attractive, you have no idea how they feel about themselves because of society's absurd beauty standards. I wish everyone could learn to love themselves a little more, because beauty comes from within and how we feel about ourselves.

People saying that she’s “not ugly so this scene wouldn’t make sense” that’s literally not the point, Agatha had been called a witch her whole life in Gavaldon she was degraded daily, convinced she was something horrible so she believed she was which is why she carried herself the way she did. It’s called insecurity which is something people struggle with daily especially in your teen years so that’s why a lot of people liked this scene because it was relatable. It doesn’t matter if you’re the most gorgeous person in the world you’re always gonna have a voice in your head telling you you’re something you aren’t it’s just whether you decide to listen to it or not.

This scene should have been left in to create an actual character arc for Agatha. The film lacks in portraying Agatha’s journey of overcoming all of the ridicule she suffered in Gavaldon and learning to love herself, which the novel does so wonderfully.

I’ll never understand why they cut this. I genuinely teared up at this scene it was so beautiful

This scene was so important to me when I was young. I would read it over and over again because it made me feel like I was beautiful. It really is such a shame that they took this out because it is the best scene in the book and could have inspired so many other young girls who thought they weren’t beautiful like I once did. It also adds so much depth to Agatha’s character and they made a huge mistake by excluding it.

Did anyone noticed how this scene kinda mirrors Sophie's introduction scene in the way how everyone stares at Agatha except in a more gentle and realistic way in contrast to the dramatic and theatrical aw the people in Sophie's dream?

Man, I haven't read the books but this scene is so powerful. As someone who struggled with insecurities and lack of self-confidence, this definitely resonated with me. You just have to believe you're beautiful and people will see that. Confidence makes one attractive.

This is such an important & powerful scene! Shouldn't have been deleted... A very powerful msg to young girls!

this scene makes the whole movie so meaningful? and impactful? it wud make tons of ppl feel better tbh

This scene was my favorite part in the books, too bad they deleted it, it gives character depth to both Dovey and Agatha. The movie was great, after all the movie is not based on the books, its an adaption to it, and they missed some important details that could have made the movie greater. The important details and plots that they missed were the ones that made the book a best-selling series, movie was still great though

"My dear, there is no spell. True beauty is about being happy for being who you truly are." - Professor Dovey. This is such a beautiful quote said by her, one of the reasons why this particular scene is my favorite in the book as well. It gives out the message that it doesn't matter how someone looks, if they are happy with who they are, they are beautiful. Which basically means that everyone is beautiful, just the way they are.

Man, this is such an amazing scene to cut from the series. It is such a pivotal moment in a person's life to recognize your own self-worth and to put aside what society or others think of you. Some people never find that peace within themselves, shame Netflix cut this.

They should have left this in. I got chills! And it was such a big character moment in the book too. They really left all of Agatha's character development on the cutting room floor...

Agatha had so little personality outside of worrying about Sophie. I really wish they had given her more depth and time to discover who she is and this scene could of done that. instead it just became the Sophie show

Netflix, please put this back in. If not for story, do it for the representation & the warm feeling you get in your soul from watching this moment. Sad to say, but not a lot of movies don’t have scenes as heart warming as this & it’s so refreshing to see 😭😭😭😭

this is like, the ONLY scene they did by the book, and THAT is what got deleted?!

She doesn't need to be beautiful to be loved. She just need to be herself and accept who she is.

They shouldn't have deleted this scene, it gives more deep to the characters in general. Btw Sofía is to obviously beautiful to say that she isn't XD

I definitely think that they should have included this because it feels like the story mainly surrounds Sophie and even Agatha's love for Sophie. But Agatha has a storyline too. So that would have helped to make her more balanced. We gather that in some of Agatha's scenes like by the river she questions and calls out Dovey. There's also the scene with Tedros. So we know who she is at heart

I really like Agatha, she has a really charming smile ❤❤

this might seem cliché but thank you i really needed to hear that. i always had a thought in the back of my mind that i have to be prettier to be loved. this literally made me cry. also i hope everyone who reads this is having a great day!! cant wait for ss2

I can’t believe this was cut.. An amazing scene for Agatha’s character and Sofia executed it so beautifully ❤️

This scene is so good it feels so integral to understanding the characters. How did this one not make the cut?

I cried watching this….More youth and adults need to hear this type of message.

This is such a beautiful scene, powerful and meaningful. They should've kept it. I almost shed a tear.😢

I understand why they deleted it, probably because of the pacing, but it's a beautiful scene and I still wish they had left it in

it could have been great if this scene was included. i mean, the film was great and this could have added more greatness to it. anyway, she's really beautiful inside and out 🤧

This scene is kind of wholesome- This message kind of hits me, anyone else...?

Wow how did a beautiful scene like this was being deleted? This is such an amazing scene. Being true to self. All of us esp little girls must learn this. I love this movie. I watched this a couple of times and cried at the same scene.

Shame this was cut out of the movie. This is such a good message for all viewers.

They were crazy to leave this out cause the symbolism comes back hard later. Sophie throughout the film clearly had shallow wants and bad thoughts she considered her only friend a side kick while she was an “protagonist” and believed true love could be a one week relationship while lacking any knowledge of tedros. Her legit excuse to not save him was she had to be a damsel in distress.She later becomes ugly and cliché because all her negative qualities from her basic view of morality to her personality are being shown on her outside and not just her in.

“Don’t judge these sleeves where in fashion back then” had me laughing

This was one of my favorite scenes in the book... It’s actually bookmarked with a sticky note cuz I’d read it over and over again. I still remember the overwhelming urge to cry while reading it for the first time, simply cuz the message was so beautiful and had resonated very deeply. Sad to see it was deleted from the final product, but glad it was made available here!

Why did they delete this scene? This gave incredible insight to Agatha and a little more understanding between the two.

Considering that she’s had people constantly telling her she’s ‘ugly’ & a ‘witch’ in her home town, this was a very important & beautiful (excuse pun) scene that should’ve been kept in. I do wish though that when Tedros says he loves her in the ball dance scene they would’ve given her a second to react in that moment before switching back to worrying about Sophie etc. That scene just plays wrong to me?

They could've shown this to see what Good really is it really portrays Agatha's development on appreciating herself more

as someone who read the book including the prequels, they should've kept this in because this is a VERY IMPORTANT moment where agatha realizes that she DOES belongs in the school for good and there is no mistake... this moment also leads to her accepting tedros instead of giving up on him and letting sophie have him... cutting this out is such a shame because this is one of the most well made scene in the whole movie and almost accurately follows the book's plot and dialogues... the only thing that's off is when she's walking and the students start commenting on her looks... actually she's supposed to look excited and runs to the mirror and she's the one who starts talking to one of the boy and they would be awestruck... other than that, i think it's acted decently enough

I think this really gives across the self-conscious pressure many girls are put under. It really helps them understand that you are beautiful, no matter what. That all you need is to know that you are indeed beautiful. This scenes was so touching between Dean Dovey and Agatha. I think it really gets a message out there to the younger audiences of girls that they are beautiful.

THEY FILMED THIS AND CUT IT??? This was arguably the most important scene in the book for Agatha's character development. Why did they cut it???

Truly beautiful scene that shouldn't be removed 😢

If this scene had been in the actual movie, I would've been crying buckets of tears

they shouldnt have deleted this scene at all, i love this scene❤

I can't believe they deleted this scene. It's one of my favourite in the books because it so perfectly demonstrates how Agatha's main insecurities was really only because of her perception and outlook.

This really should've been in the movie, it brought so much depth to Agathas character 🥺

I remember this interview where Sofia Wylie (Agatha) said she was sad that this scene of the book isn't in the final version of the movie. And gosh... It bring so much to Agatha's character and deliver in the beautiful way a good message that anyone needs to heard. Why did they deleted it?!

"beautiful enough to be loved?" damn!!! does this line hits so hard!

Why would they delete this!!!!! I'm sobbing!!! I was so mad that she was even doing the spell at the beginning and was so thrilled to see that it was a matter of confidence in the end.

I struggle heavily with insecurities and lack of confidence, but I found the one and he's helping me to see myself through his eyes. This scene resonates with me and I wish they wouldn't have deleted it. I loved this movie and I'll have to check out the books

They should have kept this in. This was my favorite moment from the books I used to read it over and over

should’ve kept the scene!!!! adds more reason to how great an actress sofia is!!! nominate her for an award already

This scene made me cry so much because as a insecure person i really understand how Agatha feels about herself and listening a Fairy Godmother saying that being beautiful doesn't mean how you are physically, is really important. The fact that later Agatha wears a dress that looks like cinderella's dress make me cry even more.

They should have kept it in. This scene is absolutely perfect and most importantly - something a lot of people need to hear.

I remember crying when I read this scene in the book as a deeply insecure and depressed 12 year old, it was important to Agathas journey as a character and, judging from the comments, was especially important to everyone that read it.

kinda was disappointed when i watched the movie and this scene from the book wasnt included. i always thought this was vital to agatha’s character, because it emphasized that she was never ugly, nor was anyone, its just a bright smile that she needed to put on

As beautiful as this scene is, and it’s an important message. Where it’s located in the narrative of the movie does not match the tone AT ALL. If this was included in the first act it would work but this would’ve completely taken me out of the movie if this was the scene immediately after the confrontation in the woods and seeing rafal, it doesn’t fit aggies character to just sit there and cry about it.

I’m literally crying that was such a powerful scene that should have been kept for all the little girls who are dying to hear those same words🤍 I love it !

Why cut this beautiful scene! The message behind it is crucial for all ages especially the young girls of today!

Sad that they didn't include this in the final movie. Back then, When I read this in the book it made me cry because I was in Agatha's position, and have a lot of insecurities, But that part made me confident and love myself back then ❤ In the books it is such an empowering moment. But without the context from the books, and we will just bsse the plot and Agatha's character development in the movie, this scene isn't empowering and feels so out of context since Agatha in the movie doesn't seem to be self-insecure in her appearance

why would you delete this??? so much better than those filler scenes 🥺😭

I wish they kept this so much, I remember this part from reading the book the first time soo vividly, its soo meaningful to explaining why Agatha wasn't in the wrong school.

I was so sad I didn't get this scene in the movie, it's one of my favorite moments in the book and shows so much to agatha and her character. I'm happy to see that it was as t least filmed.

This scene in the books was one of my favourites, it really shows what really makes a person beautiful.

They should’ve kept this scene in the movie. This is that wild but necessary which all Gen z need to hear.

Man, I wish they added this scene in the movie. I was waiting for it to come up while I was watching it but it never came. I loved this scene in the first book. In my opinion, and all of you too, this was and is one of the most important scenes to present Agatha's development in the story, and to showcase to children and adults alike that the beauty you so desired was already in you, you just have to believe.

Omgosh I can't believe they didn't add this in, it shows such an important message, this was absolutely beautiful and heart warming

This is such a beautiful and real scene. This scene would have resounded so well with the main idea of this movie.

Moments like this are really needed in the movies directed mainly younger audience. But then... not only younger :)

3:47 her smile here really is stunning. she looks genuinely happy. i really wish this scene hadn't been cut

I loved this scene in the book it was my favorite because it was important and the message was so needed. I really would have wanted this in the move however, I am glad they cut it because it makes no sense now. When they casted Sofia Wylie as Agatha it lost its meaning, yes you can have an attractive person deal with self- esteem because everyone goes through it. Though when in the books Agatha is described as ugly with every description of what people think is unattractive. Then to cast an actress who is absolutely gorgeous that fits stereotypical beauty standers. The message of inner beauty falls flat when the person is already beautiful to begin with vs when you have a plan actress who is not the most attractive be told her she is beautiful because of her inner beauty, and that effects your outside means so much more. Now for anyone who will say they could not cast an unattractive person because tv/ movies don't like it. I say wrong, they do it all the time there are hundreds of unattractive actor/actress on tv and film.

I remember this in the book, and I adored this scene. So sad they removed it from the movie.

Please go back and add this, the movie was so emotionally flat and this would’ve added layers.

This scene is beautiful and really should have been kept in. It shows Agatha that she is just as beautiful and important as Sophie. It shows Dovey as a good teacher (which was not shown enough as Lesso). It did sidetrack from the main story but really should have been integrated in the movie.

I would have love if this was kept. Such an amazing message.

WHATTTTT. no this was exactly what it was missing. i have not read the book but after watching the film i felt as if something was missing for agtha. THIS. so sad they cut this out :(

They should have kept this scene loved this movie ❤❤

They should have kept this full scene. The movie was great but this would have added more. Beautiful scene

I'm sad this scene got deleted. This scene in the book got me through a lot during middle school when I would feel sad I would reread this scene over and over. It was really helpful to me and I'm sad it's not in the movie but at least I have this scene
