Eustace_Scrubb again:
Well, that was the Warner Brothers party line on the first two movies
and why there was no "extended" DVD, something along the lines of "The
director's cut is what we released in the theaters," yadayadayada. 
Yet they had a significant number of deleted scenes on the 2nd DVD of
each.  Then when they showed SS/PS on network TV, they in fact
integrated most of those scenes into the movie.  A number of the COS
deleted scenes would have improved that movie had they been included
and maybe when that's on TV we'll get to see them.

Other posts on this thread seem to suggest that there were three or
four fairly significant scenes filmed but deleted and that there may
have been 20-30 minutes edited off.  So I'll take Chris Columbus'
statements with interest but also with a grain of salt.

At the very least, it seems that WB is missing a big opportunity for
additional revenue.
