I'm referring to the train scene when we first see Marcus Belby (and 
> he chokes on the pheasant). Neville is also invited to that 
get-acquainted luncheon and so is Ginny even though Slughorn doesn't 
know who she is because of a spell she cast. Hermione, Cormac

the luncheon on the train was in the movie when I saw it in the 
theater. It's rather pointless, IMO, to have Belby (and Zabini?) 
> appear in the later scene if they haven't been introduced in the 
earlier one. The whole concept of the Slug Club becomes confusing 
to the viewer who hasn't read the book.

> Setting aside the luncheon, the whole train scene seems terribly 
curtailed to me, including Harry's spying on Draco. And, of course, 
they eliminated the scene with the Dursleys and substituted the

know who Harry is, but that's not what I'm talking about. <snip>

June:
Steve is right, the train scene with Slughorn didn't happen. I 
totally agree that there were scenes that should have been there 
like the train scene. Carol is right, that did leave a hole. I was 
also looking forward to the scene between Harry and Dudley when 
Dudley confesses that he actually liked Harry, but that isn't the 
first time they did that to us. In the Half Blood Prince, I was 
really looking forward to seeing Dumbledore put the Dursley's in 
their place, lol.
