I know the troll and the post-duel fluffy encounter are in there, because 
both are in the previews.

As for Peeves...well, this IS primarily a kids movie, like it or not...and 
kids adore Peeves.  They think he's hilarious.  And if you cut him out 
entirely, that would mean he wouldn't be able to sing "Oh Potter, You 
Rotter!" in CoS, which would be a shame indeed. ;}

I think that cutting out Vernon's day at work is a possibility...though they 
might go the other way and cut out Dumbledore and Minerva's midnight chat, 
opting to make Harry's wizarding nature more of a "surprise"....but I hope 
not.  I really want to see Hagrid on that giant motorcycle, and it's a great 
moment.

ugh.  I really need to read SS again, I'm running out of ideas.
