But you didn't need Dumbledore's funeral! The feeling of Dumbledore's funeral was when the students and professors made the Dark Mark disappear. That was a satisfying and heartfelt ending enough to replace the funeral.However, I did miss the battle at the end. That should not have been cut. It was a bit too quiet after Dumbledore's death and when I read that in the book it seemed like a race to catch up to Snape, while in the movie, it was a little bit less.

I still loved the film. It's the best one of the series, no doubt. People just need to understand that the film medium and the book medium are told in different ways. Films are more visual, while books are more wordy and detailed.

For instance, the reason why they added the Burrow scene (which, actually, I felt didn't feel dangerous enough) was because in the book there was a lot of talk about bad things happening but we never got to see any of it. In the book this is all well and good because we can use our imaginations about what is happening outside Hogwarts but in a film we must see it visually!

Nothing that was cut from the book was sorely missed, for me, at least. Actually I would like to hear what you guys thought was cut that shouldn't have. I keep hearing a lot of empty comments about the film cutting out important parts of the book but none of those complaints are followed up with examples.
