another Clue to POA deleted or extended scenes

[cocaine nights]

Hey,

Speaking of those trading cards, I have one as well
that didn't make the cut of the film. It's of Madam
Rosmerta - she's holding out her hand for inspection
as Fudge and McGonagal(spelling???) look on. On the
back it says something to the effect that Madam
Rosmerta is explaining something to them about what
has been going on in Hogsmeade as of late and of the
Dementors who appear to have taken over the
surrounding lands.
Also i read that the original version of POA clocked
in at around 3 1/2 almost 4 hours, so there will be
plently of material for the DVD!
 And you're right about that scene from POA that
explains who Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs were,
it's probably going to be cut into Goblet of Fire, as
it seems out of place in Order of The Phoenix.
