Warner Bros exclusively sent SnitchSeeker this brand-new clip from the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection extra features, where author J.K. Rowling and screenwriter Steven Kloves mused over the darker aspects of young Harry's life. Jo even commented on the highly-debated theory that the entire saga was in Harry's head, and perhaps just a fantasy he created.

That can be viewed here; the 31-disc Harry Potter Wizard's Collection will be released this Friday in the U.S. SnitchSeeker will be hosting a giveaway this week in ties with the release of the definitive Harry Potter film box set, and much more.

Steven Kloves: There was this part in the script, when he was in the cupboard, I invented him a spider, named Alastor, who he talked to; and he used to nick broken soldiers out of the rubbish bin, and he lined them up on the shelf. This broken army that Dudley had thrown out.

J.K. Rowling: It was such a great image, the broken army.

Kloves: And he used to talk to them, and the point was that he seemed slightly mad, when I wrote the first draft. And so when Hagrid appeared, he thought it was out of his imagination for a minute. He had summoned this guy -

Rowling: I think that's a fabulous point, and that speaks so perfectly to the truth to the books, because I had it suggested that to me more than once that Harry actually did go mad in the cupboard, and that everything that happened subsequently was some sort of fantasy life he developed to save himself.

Kloves: And that's where it came from - it came from the book. When you read the book, you make it pretty clear that he's an abused boy.

Rowling: Totally. Of course he is, yeah.

Kloves: And so, there's darkness there, and I would go with that.
