The emotional moment was captured for the Netflix documentary One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5.
'Stranger Things' Final Table Read
Brown was overcome with emotions during the final table read for 'Stranger Things.'
Brown, 21, teared up as the cast read the part of the script when her character, Eleven, has a particularly emotional scene with Harbour's character, Hopper.
In the clip, Brown looked distressed, curled up in the corner of a sofa as she rested her head in one hand while the other clutched her script.
"When you found me in the woods, I was just a kid," Brown recited her lines in the scene where her character prepares to face off with Vecna, the monster from the upside down.
Brown and Harbour shared a moment while reading through a heartbreaking scene.
"I was scared. I didn't understand this world, didn't understand people," Brown continued. "But you took me in, and you taught me."
Brown paused from reading to look up at Harbour, 50, and the two shared a moment.
Through tears she continued reading, "You protected me, you raised me, you became my dad."
Harbour turned his gaze away from his 21-year-old co-star as she delivered the heartbreaking line.
Brown's Harassment and Bullying Complaint
The 'Stranger Things' documentary comes months after Brown filed a complaint accusing Harbour of harassment and bullying.
The documentary comes months after rumors swirled about drama on the set while filming the final season of the hit Netflix show.
As RadarOnline.com reported, sources claimed Brown filed a complaint accusing Harbour of harassment and bullying prior to production on the fifth season kicking off. The complaint did not include any accusations of the actor acting inappropriately in any sexual way.
"Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season," an insider reportedly said at the time. "There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months."
Brown and Harbour put on a united front at the Season 5 premiere.
Harbour was said to be subjected to an internal investigation, while Brown was accompanied by a personal representative on set during filming.
After months of rumors swirling about Brown and Harbour, the two seemingly attempted to dismiss rumors about their feud by posing together for red carpet photos at the Stranger Things premiere.
Brown said the cast was "so lucky to have each other" as she branded Harbour an "amazing" actor.

"Of course I felt safe, I mean, we've worked together for 10 years. I feel safe with everyone on that set," the actress told Deadline. "You naturally just… you know, you've been doing it for so long. We also play father and daughter, so naturally, we have a closer bond than the rest because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in Season 2."
