I agree that the purpose of cutting down that scene illudes me...we could have lost the 'It burns, I think Danger's coming" crap line if we wanted more time.  I also liked the ending to the Troll scene (eee, sweet moment!) and the smelting's uniform scene as character defining moments.  There was too much confusion in defining Ron, Harry, Hermione's friendship and I think that the end of the troll scene would have made a nice addition and sort of defined when they were friends instead of just classmates that sort of got on.

The uniform scene was just a pure Dursley moment and I thought beautifully handled by all involved.  I'm amazed everyone kept their faces in one shot long enough to get the scene with that...outfit around.  I also liked the full body bind/eyebrows growing back scene.  For once, it added more plot and did it the proper way (I was wondering where that card had run off to) and for another, I like the two kids playing Seamus and Neville.  Their both good in they're roles, especially the one who does Neville, plus, they added a bit of humor to it that was just right.  

The Christmas scene irked me.  I hate to say it but my impression of the Weasley's was not a good one while watching that scene.  I mean, Harry was all alone and no one but Ron cared.  I think it would have been better if they all moved over to him and went about eating and talking as if they hadn't done it, but just gave the message that they were there if he wanted to be with them.
