Actually I've always thought the HP deleted scenes were 
minimal/disappointing. I think that the HP directors know exactly what 
they are filming and what will be left out. I think there is very 
little left to cut. This, no doubt due to budget, as much of HP is 
special effects and/or filmed on blue screen.

Valerie, who still would've loved to have seen Bellatrix/Helena's 
deleted scenes though from what I understand they were quite riske´!
