Hi, Jake, it's me again, Nineve. I think that if it was "cutable", 
them it must be very irrelevant for someone that doesn't know what's 
coming. I think that Dobby being free, or Gilderoy losing his memo is 
not what you should look for, as it could not be changed, because it 
is canon.
What sprang to my mind was a picture on the wall talking to Harry as 
he and Ron were going upstairs. It might seem very irrelevant, but in 
book 5 we see that pictures are VERY important.
I must say I hate the films, even though I will go in the first week 
to see PoA. I don't like the fact that they cut so much (Mr Weasley's 
fight with Lucious in the book shop for example), and you can never 
get inside the characters' minds in films, specially Harry's 
thoughts, as we get in the book.
The fact that Hagrid was in Nocturn Alley was explained, as well as 
Percy's (extra) strangeness during summer. Everyone was suspecting 
everybody to be a Dark Wizard, then at the end, they found out it was 
Ginny. 
Nineve.
