This is a sub-page of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Windows)/Unused Sound Clips.

This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Much like the previous games, this one also has a lot of unused sounds, but it's even more apparent here!

To do:
Find everything there is to find in "alldialog.uax" and "soundeffects.uax".

To do:
Too much NPC dialogue determined by RNG to manually check, need to find how bumplines are set for them.

execdemo.uax#

This file contains many sounds from previous games. Most of them likely acted as placeholders. Some of the sounds were recycled for the game, but they are not exact copies of the files present in this archive.

pull_up1

All 3 climbing emotes from Chamber of Secrets.

pull_up2

pull_up3

pulley_loop3

This could be used for pretty much anything, but it is not present in the soundeffects.uax file at all. Sound effect is possibly used in one or all three of the first three sixth gen console games.

s_spell_alohamora_hit

This is a combined sound file made with an unused spellcasting sound from Sorcerer's Stone (s_spell_wing_throw) and something clapping (probably meant to be something unlocking).

s_spell_hit2

Unused spellcasting sounds from Sorcerer's Stone.

s_spell_hit3

s_spell_hit4

silence

None

A .00023 second long file made out of... complete silence!

spell_cast

A spellcasting sound not found in Sorcerer's Stone or Chamber of Secrets, but it was ultimately replaced by something a bit shorter and less dramatic.

spell_off_targer3

A sound of a dial tone in-progress.

alldialog.uax#

All of the dialog files. Compared to the previous games, the documentation in the debug sound test is well done. Most voiced audio files have a specific name that makes it easier to contextualise where they would've belonged. The usual structure is [Console]_[Character]_[Level]_[Order]. Bumplines, what NPCs say when you walk into them, work a bit differently. Often their numbers will refer to the currrent gamestate, or what the current objective is. As an example, that means that wandering students will only mention going to charms class when that objective is the current one, but otherwise these lines won't get added in the dialog pool.

pc_jpo_ADV2Bog2bkgrd_7

Lily! Take Harry and go!

These first 2 clips were meant to be in the iconic "Voldemort kills Harry's parents" scene, but the story never mentions the scream Harry hears when fainting. The internal event name 'ADV2Bog2bkgrd' is not used either. The last 2 have different filenames, strongly suggesting that they were meant to be used when Harry faints in Quidditch. The first clip was used in the PS2 version of Prisoner of Azkaban whenever Dementors appeared, albeit with an echo filter.

pc_lpo_ADV2Bog2bkgrd_9

No! Not Harry, please take us!

pc_lpo_QuidDemBkgrd_2

Not Harry! Not Harry! Please! Not Harry!

pc_lpo_QuidDemBkgrd_6

No! Noooo!

pc_vol_ADV2Bog2bkgrd_5

Where is the boy?

These Voldemort clips would fit with the ones above.

pc_vol_ADV2Bog2bkgrd_11

The boy!

pc_dum_bumpline_681

Time for defense against the dark arts class Harry? I just passed a group of your classmates heading for the third floor.

Dumbledore isn't seen outside of a few select cutscenes, so these lines are unused.

pc_dum_bumpline_682

Ah, you must be on your way to charms. I just saw professor Flitwick heading toward the second floor a moment ago.

pc_dum_bumpline_860

Hello you three. On your way to transfiguration class eh? First floor in case you're lost.

pc_dum_bumpline_861

Perfect day for an outdoor class, isn't it?

pc_dum_QuidDem_19

Expecto Patronum!

Most likely usage would have been when Harry falls in Quidditch.

pc_fli_Bumpline_678

I hope you three aren't late for defense against the dark arts class. I saw Professor Lupin heading for the third floor several minutes ago.

Just like Dumbledore, Flitwick is not present during gameplay, so he also has unused bumplines.

pc_fli_Bumpline_692

My my! There's a lot of traffic heading for the first floor. Must be time for transfiguration class.

pc_fli_Bumpline_862

Looks like you're having a care of magical creatures class outside today. Lovely weather for it.

pc_fre_bumpline_644

I'll wait here.

All of these lines go unused because you can't talk to Fred yourself when going up to the shop for the first time after the Carpe Retractum lesson.

pc_fre_bumpline_646

Explore all you like! I'll wait here.

pc_fre_bumpline_648

Have a look around! I'll wait for you.

pc_fre_bumpline_650

Ready to go to the shop then?

pc_fre_bumpline_651

Right, let's head up to the seventh floor!

pc_fre_bumpline_652

Here we go, the shop is on the seventh floor.

pc_fre_bumpline_653

Shall we?

pc_fre_TaskedShop_46

Find the gold marker to see where you're currently standing in the castle or grounds.

One extra line got omitted from the "Marauder's map" cutscene.

Ah Harry, I know you can do better than that!

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_12

Good job Harry! And you won the collector's card as well!

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_14

That was some smart flying Harry! You really earned that collector's card.

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_18

A fine effort Harry. Why don't you have another go?

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_20

That was a good try Harry, but I think you should go again.

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_22

Try again Harry, I know you'll get it this time.

pc_hag_HippoMiniExit_24

I know you did your best, try again.

pc_hag_HippoMiniGame_8

Now remember, that number at the top of the counter is the score you've got to beat.

pc_hag_HippoMiniGame_10

Every time you win a card, you open another hippogriff flying course. There are 5 courses in all.

pc_hag_HippoMiniIntro_32

Fly steady and go through all the bats you can to keep from losing your bonus points.

pc_mcg_bumpline_679

Shouldn't you be in defense against the dark arts now mister Potter?

Bumplines to remind you of your objectives, unused for the same reason as the other teachers.

pc_mcg_bumpline_683

You should be in charms class mister Potter.

pc_mcg_bumpline_864

I hope you three aren't running late for care against magical creatures. I'd hate to see Gryffindor lose any house points.

pc_mcg_DracFinalreplay_6

Thanks Professor McGonagall.

Either a mistake by the voice actor or in the script

pc_mcg_MeetMcGonagall_32

Hermione, may I speak to you for a moment about... your time table?

Omitted line from the cutscene where the group meets Dumbledore and McGonagall.

Narrator#

pc_nar_BuckExecuted_29

During the night, an intruder entered the castle.

These narration lines show that a few key parts of the story were chosen to be scrapped for the game, like Sirius infiltrating the castle and the relevance of his father with the marauders.

pc_nar_BuckExecuted_33

When the fat lady finally returned to her portrait, she was badly shaken.

pc_nar_EndLastDay_11

Harry's third year at Hogwarts had come to an end, yet somehow, it felt like a new beginning.

pc_nar_PatronusIntro_1

Harry was surprised to learn that Professor Lupin had attended Hogwarts with his father.

pc_nar_TaskedTrans_12

Harry was very concerned about Hagrid, and with Malfoy playing up his injury, he was worried about Buckbeak too.

Neville#

pc_nev_bumpline_839

Come on, this way to care of magical creatures.

When you're tasked to follow Neville to class, he will run from you if you get close, so these lines are unused.

pc_nev_bumpline_840

Hagrid's waiting, follow me!

pc_nev_bumpline_841

Follow me! I know the way to the hippogriff paddock.

pc_nev_bumpline_842

Are you coming? It's nearly time for care of magical creatures!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_2

Ooh! Big bad thirdies, whatever shall I do?

Peeves has a lot of dialogue that goes unused for some reason. These were all meant to be used in his 3 "boss fights" (numbered accordingly), however he only uses 3 lines per category which the game choses with RNG.

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_6

Youch!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_8

Ouch! Not fair!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_10

Ooh! Not my armor!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_14

Ow! Leave the armor alone!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_28

Na na na na na you can't get me!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_30

Such big brave Gryffindors, I'M SHAKING IN MY ARMOR!

pc_pev_ADV4PeevesEnc_32

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_1

Oh me oh my! I'm so scared.

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_3

Ouch!

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_4

Oh, careful!

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_5

Oomph!

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_6

Eek!

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_20

Better leave off Gryffindors or you'll all smell like flubberworms!

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_22

Hold still, I've got a present for you Weasley.

pc_pev_PeevesEnc2_24

Let's play toss and catch. HERE COMES A STINK PELLET!

pc_pev_PeevesIntro1_10

Oops! Dropped my bottle.

This last line seems like it would have been in the first Peeves cutscene.

pc_pnk_BuckExecuted_31

Oh!

The fat lady (or pink lady internally) is a looping video file applied as a texture on the 7th floor. She had text for the part of the story when Sirius infiltrates the castle.

pc_pnk_BuckExecuted_35

Oh! It was him, it was Sirius Black! He was inside Hogwarts!

pc_pnk_bumpline_555

Password?

She also had some bumplines, but in the final game there's a trigger for her door and Harry always knows the password.

pc_pnk_bumpline_556

Can't get into the Gryffindor common room without the password.

pc_pnk_bumpline_557

What's the password?

pc_pnk_bumpline_558

What's the Gryffindor password?

Move along you three! Time for defense against the dark arts class. You do remember where the third floor is don't you?

Despite Snape not even being in the game, he had a few bumplines just like all the other teachers.

pc_sna_bumpline_684

Why aren't you in charms class Potter? Trouble finding your way to the 2nd floor?

pc_sna_bumpline_687

Potter! Weasley! Miss Granger! Is there some reason you aren't in transfiguration class?

pc_sna_bumpline_865

Shouldn't you three be heading out ot the paddock for your care against magical creatures class? I believe your little friend Mister Longbottom is outside waiting for you.
