Yes, we picked up on that, too.  Definitely, a couple of lines of explanation 
were badly cut out!  Another bad cut was when Dumbledore says that Filch 
wants the students to be "reminded" that they're not to go into the third-floor 
hall.  The camera's on Filch, not on D., as he speaks this  -- clearly , the 
reminder was supposed to be about not doing magic in the halls.  The warning 
about the third floor is new info for everyone.
