OoTP cuts

So, at least we know that Shackelbolt will be in OoTP now. I am 
wondering what kind of important cuts will be made. We know that there 
are smaller things and sub plots pruned out, but with OoTP there is an 
awful lot of even the major story line that will have to be pruned or 
adjusted. I'm wondering, do they keep the dementors and the trial? I 
really hope so, but it could be done without it. Do they keep Umbridges 
heinous detentions? I hope so because I love the pay off scene in HBP 
when Harry holds up his hand to the MoM and says "I remember". It also 
shows just how deeply bad this woman is.  Do they keep the big Twin 
Departure? And how do they work in Neville's parents? We hear of the 
torture in the pensieve scene in GoF, but there is no follow through 
with Harry asking Dumbledore if that was Neville's parents. I really 
think this is important though to the development of Neville's 
character and he will (I suspect) be a big part of the final book, so 
the final movie. What are some thoughts that others have?
