Re: This is definitely the most painfully altered of the movies. Camilla Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 04:36:29 PM
and can I just say that what they did to this book was quite shocking.

Why insert the scene at the Burrow and exclude the battle's at the end? Made it look like the Death Eaters walked right into Hogwarts and out without contest. Also leaves out the scarring of Bill, which adds to the Weasley family's toll in the war.

Bleh. :[


Yes. They cut too much and replaced it with their own unnecessary stuff. I don't get it. Especially since their replacement stuff was always less interesting than the stuff they cut.
