If I had to pick the one scene that should not have been deleted, I'd 
have to say the episode with the Malfoys in Borgin and Burkes.  It 
really emphasizes the relationship between Lucius and Draco, which is 
fairly deeply discussed in relation to both of the motives, 
characters, ect.  Any other candidates?


I reply:
I agree with you here as I really enjoyed this scene too, although I 
can understand why some people see it as mischaracterisation. However 
there is one other thing that puzzles me about the deletion of this 
scene and it puzzled me the very first time I saw the film, why did 
they favour the scene with Harry and the Hand of Glory OVER the scene 
of him hiding from the Malfoys? It seemed like a bit of a strange 
choice unless there is a reason behind it. There are certain other 
scenes like this in the movie, where something 'insignificant' has 
been favoured over something that seems to be more important 
(although the others are a lot more subtle) and it just seems 
interesting when taken with JK and Kloves' comment on the interview 
about there being a certain aspect of the books that JK said HAD to 
be included for something else to make sense later in the series.

HOLLYDAZE!!!
