Columbus says it wasn't trimmed from 4, and the TIME mag 
says the rest of the norbert scene wasn't even shot. I had a 
strong suspicion this would be what they cut - it's a slihtly clunky 
storyline, there seems a host of other ways around it, and while 
you can draw it out and use all other kinds of plot devices in a 
book, I'm sure Kloves found some other ways to shorten the 
'getting the trio to be in the forest for the unicorn thing' and 'lose 
points for gryffindor' storyline. Remember the filch photo - it's the 
trio + neville, which means ron got detention, too.

Eh. who knows. not much longer to wait.
