kchuplis:

The only three I would really have liked to seen stay it are the Harry on
the stairs with Cho, the scene that would have been between finding Crouch
and going to Dumbledore's office with HRH and the Snape/Karkaroff scene. I
can see holding out the Moody/Crouch scene as it was a little suspicious
Moody being that harsh fairly early in the film.
