Me:
I have two questions:
  
1. As these scenes are just a few seconds each, what, can anyone 
imagine, was the reasoning behind not adding say, the Lockhart test 
scene or Hagrid rooster scene or any of the other scenes that would 
have helped develop the story a bit better?  I realize that time was 
a primary factor, but most of these are so incredibly short, and not 
all of them need have been used, only those that helped the 
exposition of the story.  (One of my big problems with CoS was the 
way the scenes were tacked onto each other with nearly no 
transistion or explaination between--just off we go, then, to the 
next and the next and the next.)  

2.  Forgive me if this question has already been asked but, are 
these scenes to be integrated into the film, as deleted scenes were 
in LOTR (and worked so very well,) or are we going to have to view 
them as a string of unrelated bits independent of the main film? 
Does anyone know?
