Scenes I was really looking forward to seeing that weren’t in the movie:
* Dumbledore telling off Vernon and Petunia
* Dumbledore’s funeral
* Voldemort’s mother/uncle/grandfather scenes
* Voldemort requesting the DaDA job, and subsequently cursing it.
* The reveal that it was Snape who overheard Trelawny’s prophecy and told it to Voldemort
* Dobby & Kreacher being sent to follow Malfoy around.
* The battle of Hogwarts.
I guess none of those were really important to the overall story, but I seriously have no idea what they were thining by not having Dumbledore tell Harry his theory as to the remaining 3 horcruxes. How is Harry supposed to know in the next movie(s) he should be looking for the cup, the snake, and something belonging to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor?
The lack of Harry’s “I can’t be with you” scene to Ginny will also create a bit of a contradiction for the next movie, as they seem to have just gotten together and it’ll be more or less dropped. Though I suppose they could have that scene at the beginning of the 7th movie, before the Horcrux Hunt starts for real.
All things considered, it was a good movie. I still think it would be hard for anyone who hasn’t read the books to follow along and figure out who’s doing what why, but for those of us who have, it was very good.
