I think it would of helped to have Justin Finch Flecthy, Hannah and Ernie 
Macmallin in the hufflepuff scene!

They should of kept Colin's scene and the rooster scene.  They should of kept 
the Kwik Spell scene.  I think they should of kept the floating cake scene 
and Flourish and Blotts scene!  That could of given us more understanding of 
Draco's character as to why he is so mean.
