I too am glad the Hogwarts song was left out but some of the other 
scenes I liked. I really wish they had left in the Snape scene that 
seemed important to me, especially since we only had a log on fire 
for Sirius. I was wholly disappointed to not have the cave scene in 
the film. I think it would have made more sense if they had the trio 
visit him in the cave and chat about the tournament and 
the "suspected death eaters". My hubby who has only seen the films 
told me afterwords that if our sons and I had not talked so much 
about what we wanted to see prior to the film and chatted about what 
we liked in the film afterwords that he would not have understood the 
fact that Karkaroff and Snape knew each other, had been death eaters, 
Karkaroff rolled over on his fellow death eaters and Snape appears to 
be a good guy working for Dumbledore (he knows about HBP because we 
were aghast at the outcome). I also wish they had left the little 
snippet of Harry trying to get Cho's attention. Those are the two I 
wish had stayed in. Some of the others were OK too and would not have 
added much time to the film but the Hogwarts song, extended Weird 
Sisters song (just wish they had some of the looking at the band more 
than the crowd in the film - they were Weird looking) and the 
Quidditch scene in my humble opinion were appropriately chopped.
