If you told me to cut 5% of the book for the movie, I'd:

Shorten the opening scene to eliminate Vernon's trip to the office; 
just start with McGonagall and Dumbledore, Hagrid arrives, they drop 
the baby on the doorstep, and roll the opening credits.

I'd cut Peeves completely out of the movie (sorry about that).

Cut the business about the midnight duel (they can find out about 
Fluffy some other way).

Cut the entire troll knock-out scene.

Shorten Norbert's scenes.

I hope that's 5%.
