I like how neither of those scenes occurred, although I can see the necessity of the second one, as the revelation that the book was owned by someone styling themselves "The Half-Blood Prince" was entirely non-verbal in the books.
The first clip just confuses me, as exciting as it looked.

@smartboydan is banned from Deadspin :(: I understand having to make cuts from the books, and that's fine.
But adding completely new scenes? Why not just include some of the stuff they cut?? I've never understood that.

@HootieMac: Because some things work very well on paper, and others work very well on screen. Often, what works with one doesn't work with the other. In a flick, you've got to keep the pace moving along, so you've gotta make some changes (LOTR series is a good example of this). It's not good or bad on it's own, it's how well these new scenes fit in with the whole.

If I recall, there was a subplot in the book where a girl tried to slip Harry some love potion, but it was in a box of chocolates, not muffins.

@HootieMac: Like instead of cutting the Marauders Map from the second movie and instead putting in a scene where they eat candy that makes them make noises? That was the second movie, right?

@SetDipSwitchesTo_GitEmSteveDav...: Marauders Map was in the movies, the only thing they didnt include was WHO made it (IE that his father sirius and lupus where the creators of the map)

@Jim Topoleski: That's what I meant. They neglected to mention that somewhat important point, but instead made some candy that made you howl like a monkey.

@2DaysTillTheState_GitEmSteveDa...: I have in general been increasingly happy with the Potter movies. They manage to stay true to the spirit of the stories without feeling enslaved by the details of them.
