Since there are no takers, I wanted to add one more thing.

A question unasked, and not really obvious in my first post: What is the difference between this and ADM's cut?

There is of course the 16x9 AR and the long list of corrections and tweaks to flaws or problems in the deleted scenes as explained in the first post.

The most important differences:

-Scenes with Hagrid and the dead rooster are together instead of 2 separate instances of Hagrid walking the halls with dead poultry.

-The scene "Fred and George Teasing Harry and Harry Starts to Doubt Himself" is between the outdoor winter establishing shot and Christmas dinner in the Great Hall, rather than before the establishing shot.

-I kept the deleted scene of Harry and Ron finding the Ford Anglia while looking for Aragog.

-ABC edit contains 2 additional bits not available on the DVD: a shot of Harry exiting the Bourgin and Bourkes coffin which links two separate DVD deleted scenes together and Dumbledore dismissing Harry and Ron from Snape's office so they can rejoin the feast.

I love ADM's work (which is much better quality), but he didn't have an ABC cut to use as a guideline for placing scenes.
