The only deleted scene I really wish they had left in was the Snape scene. I
grateful they left out the hoggity hogwarts singing and only kept a smidge
of the Wierd Sisters in. I'm also not too sorry to see a lot of the
quidditch cut myself. I mean, yeah it's fun but with SO much in this book
there are other things I was happy to see them concentrate on.
