That was the most emotional part of the book and I hope its on the dvds deleted scenes or something like that. The one thing I did absolutely despise about the movie was that they made 2 scenes from what I remember that did not happen in the book. So they cut out good scenes from the book to put in new ones that weren't even true to the book.

Much of the stuff that wasn't there, was omitted in the scripting process and as such, was never shot.

However, I did miss the battle at the end. That should not have been cut.

I sympathise with their reasoning though; they don't want to have two battles at Hogwarts. It might've worked for book fans but for a movie audience it would just look repetitious.
