I really think if there's something they cut, it was Norbert. I can't 
think of any other important things (and they did say they kept 95% 
of the moments, not 100...) that aren't too important to cut. The 
whole purpose of that was to get Neville, Hermione, Harry and Draco a 
detention, and to get them into the forest. Couldn't this be done 
another way? Plus -- in one of the pictures, Ron is with Hermione and 
(is it Draco?) and Filch, and Filch is holding a lantern. It looks 
suspiciously like theyr'e on the way to their detention -- so perhaps 
Ron is in on this too.

THen again -- they need to have gotten in enough trouble to turn the 
whole school against them for their lost points, right? How could 
they have tightened this up?
