Some examples of lost scenes:

Dumbledore confronting the Dursley’s? Gone.

The invention of a fight at the burrow, including the destruction of the whole house? Really? Where’s Bill & Fleur going to get married next movie? (Oh that’s right, in the movies, they AREN’T! Heck, they aren’t even in –this- movie!)

The “Meeting of the Ministers” scene? Gone. Heck there’s absolutely NO sign of Scrimgeour –anywhere- in the whole movie!

Tonks rescuing Harry from the train? Nope, now it’s Luna, looking for Wrackspurts! (???)

The slow build up leading to the Quiddich victory kiss? Gone. Now just a “close your eyes” peck in the Room of Requirement, and that was –nothing-!!

The two months of Harry & Ginny dating? Gone.

Harry breaking up with Ginny to protect her? Gone!

Harry’s ownership of Grimmauld Place and Kreacher? (Key for the next movie) Gone.

The Gaunt house flash-backs? Both gone. And with them any mention of Merope, Voldemort’s mother. Gone too the mention of her locket by Caractacus Burke.

The memories of Hokey the house elf, and of Dumbledore’s job interview with Voldemort? (Key for the next movie) Gone. In fact, all references to the valuable heirlooms such as Hufflepuff’s cup are gone.

Crabb & Goyle polyjuiceing into girls to stand watch? Funny, but… gone.

Snapes “Defense Against the Dark Arts” lessons? Gone.

Apparition lessons and test? Gone.

Hermione & Ron’s Prefect status? (Well, since it wasn’t mentioned LAST film, why mention it now?)

Harry’s appointment as Quiddich captain? (No mentions, only implied during the tryouts)

Mundungus stealing Sirius’ property? (KEY for the next movie) Gone.

Snap’s betrayal of Trelawney’s prophecy to Voldemort? (HUGE!) Gone!!!

Harry petrified by Dumbledoor to protect him? GONE!

The Hogwarts battle between Death Eaters and Order members? (and Bill’s disfigurement?) GONE!!

Dumbledore’s funeral? GONE!!!!

another couple of lost scenes are the detentions wich snape gave harry at the starting. instead, they were given to cormac McLaggen. and that was only a month, harry had it for like a year!!!

I also wouldn't want to see a 14 movie series. ;) Yes, they added the one scene (that didn't make sense) but what else did they add that wasn't in the book?

Hmm... was forced to watch it by my friends. It`s not TOO bad, if you view it as a mediocre stand alone completely separate from the book.

The waitress scene was disturbing. Daniel Radcliffe looks too dorky to ever do that. Too bad there were so many missing scenes, but at least the movie flowed from one scene to another better (compared to the previous movies...)

Don't recall that one, sorry.

Ok, granted, that was a bit awkward. But I can understand it at least, easier to make that up than put in all of the scenes from the book hinting at that. Of course, I'd rather they took one of those scenes instead, but then I didn't say this movie was the greatest ever either.

I think it wouldve been really interesting to see the scene with dumbledore and the dursley's...

And -I- think it would have been really interesting to see -many- of the scenes left out. (especialy the -real- Harry & Ginny kiss!!!)

at one point (involving stairs maybe?) ginny stopped and tied harry's shoelace, it really unnerved me, I could never see that happening from a non-stalker type.
