Hmm, good question.  I could go on for hours, but I'll just touch on a couple of things that I consider major.  In SS/PS I'd have done the final scene with Quirrelmort like it was in the book.  Quirrell burning,  Harry hanging on, Voldemort screaming, and so on.  To me they toned it down too much and in the process made Harry look vengeful instead of self defensive.

In CoS I'd have cut the Herbology entirely and let Hermione read us something about Mandrakes in a book.  I'd also have given Ron's lines back to him instead of handing them off to Hermione.  I'd have also kept the part where Snape finds Harry and Ron after they crash into the Whomping Willow instead of changing it to Filch.  But I think they just wanted more reason to dislike Filch.
