So, I guess I stand corrected about losing the second task.  I'm 
glad, because I'd like to see it.  I also agree that the Yule Ball 
can go.  I also think that most of the Quidditch World Cup can be 
cut.  As much as I'd like to see it, I think that the only things 
truly important in those scenes are Harry's introduction to the dark 
mark and the introduction of veelas, both of which can be done 
elsewhere.  

It makes me wonder, though, because I was convinced that the second 
task could go, why is it being included?

Gina :   
 I would say because it shows Harry's "love of saving people" which is what
LV plays on in book 5 and Hermione brings back up when saying that it could
be a trap to get him to the DoM


      Gina - who doesn't think saving people is a bad quality and even being
a big shipper thinks that the Yule Ball should    be cut in lieu of the more
important scenes BUT Winky sitting next to the empty chair may be important
enough to add    in.
