Sadly, when A.J. said "The Dursleys aren't in it," "it" means the
movie, not the portkey scene.  The Ton-Tongue Toffee scene is one I
would have loved to have seen, too.  Mercilessly cut, it was.

I can understand the need to cut it -- just as long as there isn't the
usual time-wasting going on elswhere, as for example in CoS with the
overly-long flying to Hogwarts and quidditch scenes.
