While I have absolutely no proof, I suspect that the opening scene
will be Harry catching up with Dudley as they walk back from the park,
which will be quickly followed by the Dementor attack, which in turn
will be quickly followed by the 'rescue'. 

I don't know if they will have much time for the /owls in the kitchen/
and Harry being expelled. Perhaps just the arrival of a single note
warning Harry of his hearing, then the rescue, and straight to
Grimmauld Place. I'm not even sure if there will be enough time for
Mrs. Figg to make an appearance. If she makes no appearance then it's
up to Dumbledore to save Harry bacon at the hearing. 

Sadly, that probably amounts to very few minutes of movie time.

Don't envy the people who have to figure all this out.
