yes they cut out so much, i forgot all about the tung taffy... but they left out Winky, the house elves, SPEW, the weasleys, harry forcing his winnings on the twins, etc... no dursleys. i think this was the worst movie out of all of them... if only they'd added more. they didn't even have when Barty Crouch (SR.)died, got turned into a bone and buried! and Fleur's accent wasn't heavy enough. my mom came with me the first time, i saw it opening night and the night after, and i had to basically explain the entire book to her so she could understand the movie. she didn't even know who Barty Crouch Sr was. they left out Fudge, too, didn't they? But they cut so much that the only way anyone could understand it is if you'd read the book!!!!!!! personally, i was disappointed, they could've done better. and Hermione was way too emotional, i mean MY GOD!!!!! i didn't even understand why she was crying at the Yule Ball, and i've read the books, and i'm a girl... i agree with ron, Hermione's gotten scarier as she's gotten older, emotion wise. I mean come on, she was crying over nothing!!!! and they did the Yule Ball kinda wrong: Hermione's hair was supposed to be down(ooooh, and they left out Hermione's teeth growing to humungo beaver teeth!!!!), and her dress was just ugh, i thought everyone had to wear dress robes? including the girls, but only the guys did. I LOVE NEVILLE'S DANCING SCENE IN THE DORMITORY AFTER HE COMES IN!!!!! I really wanted to see Hermione's teeth grow, that would've been so funny
