Okay folks, my question today is:  would some of these scenes 
worth cutting or would they have worked in the final cut?

Trelawney at the opening feast:  I thought this was just bizarre 
and am glad it didn't make the final cut.  It just got goofier and 
goofier.  Once she stuck her hands in her drink, I just forwarded 
to the next scene.  I guess she is supposed to be "seeing" what 
Umbridge will be bringing along later, but this just creeped me 
out.

Neville explaining that his Gran cancelled her subscription to the 
Daily Prophet after Seamus has words with Harry... that could 
have been left in, it was so short, those few seconds would have 
been okay.

The extended visit of Umbridge to Trelawney's Divination class, I 
would have liked seeing in the final cut, not just the short bits of 
Umbridge all around school.

Harry packing up at the end of term and Ron asking about final 
banquet, that would have been good in the final cut, showing just 
how isolated Harry feels right now.  Same with Harry alone in the 
commom room while others are playing cards, etc. This would 
not have added too much time to the final cut.

Umbridge, Harry and Hermione in the Dark Forest:  Her 
extended speech about "I really hate children" would have been 
more effective if they had left this all in.

Any other opinions?  Curious to hear what all you guys have on 
this.  Also, what did you think of the Trailing Tonks piece?  (I have 
mixed feelings on this one) and The Hidden Secrets of Harry 
Potter piece. (I think this is the same thing I saw on A&E the 
week the film was out in July?  This I thought was well done.)

Thanks.

Trish in NM (still relatively new to this group!)
