MOVIE: The Norbert escapade

Since this was just recently being wondered about:

The new Entertainment Weekly article seems to give further reason to 
believe the Norbert scenes will make it to the movie.  In describing 
what special effects companies were working on what it said, "Rhythm & 
Hues (Cats and Dogs) is raising Hagrid's illegally bred pet dragon" . 
. . but then it went on to say: "And as these companies finish their 
shots, Columbus will, ironically, have to decide whether or not to cut 
them . . . a recent edit clocked in at about four hours".

Looks like they've got a lot of snipping to do, so they still might 
take Norbert out in favor of more critical scenes.  I hope not, as I 
might enjoy seeing Robbie Coltrane blubbering wildly, who knows?  Then 
again that has a lot of potential to be a bad acting moment too.

We shall see.
