Hm, I suspect it may be axed.

They may or may not make it the train scene but Hermione being able to 
'blackmail' Rita Skeeter does have impact on OotP.  If it wasn't for that, 
I'd say the entire Rita Skeeter conflict could be axed.

I'd estimate the process of narrowing down involves making sure what 
remains is logical and does not hamper the next movie.  Warner Bros is 
looking for the 'cha-ching' and the HP movies are most likely a profit earner.
