I've just bought the new release HP7 DVD which has some deleted scenes on
the second disc; I'm not sure if that's all of them.
But I agree entirely with you. I think one of the great plus points of the LOTR
extended editions was that the extra scenes were incorporated into the main
body of the film.
Digressing slightly, I think it's a pity that they deleted the two scenes with
the Dursleys because I think it brought out the fact - clearly spelled out in
the book - that there had been a shift in Dudley's perception of Harry. I
have muttered darkly before about time being wasted on scenes which are
not part of the story and really don't add anything to the film - the classic
case being the attack on the Burrow in HBP. The scene with Dudley would
have been a valuable one to keep rather than the silly one of Harry being
asked to zip up Ginny's dress.
