The battle scene of the DA vs the death eaters sucked. it was way too short and basically all they used was stupify.

I was little disappointed it too. It definetely was too short and I was missing more details to it. Example when Sirius get killed by bellatrix it happened too fast and I couldn't react it.

Yes, true. But come on you guys, Not everyone can have what they want. The film makers tried there best to give you guys the full atraction of the book. I mean the book was over 800 pages long, they cant have everything.

i'm annoyed because the whole film was butchered, there wasn't really anything that matched the books.

the main things i noticed were:
1. no mundungus fletcher!!!
2. The advance guard, no lupin!, no sparks, no disillusionment charms.
3. The fidelius charm on grimmauld place and No portrait of mrs black
4. extendable ears way over the top.
5. voldemort in a suit! come on now be sensible!
6. Harry's hair! it was supposed to be untidy and un-stylable.
7. cho chang should have been a 6th year not a 5th year
8. marietta edgecombe - where was she? having cho as the "sneak" was not good enough
9. ginny weasley's contibution - where was it?
10. Harry's occumlency lessons started after xmas not the same night of the vision
11. where was firenze after trelawny's sacking?
12. when dumbledore's army was found out, what happened to the bit where dumbledore talked to Harry and kingsley had modified Marietta's memory?
13. why didn't sneak show up on cho changs forehead after she was tricked into telling umbridge?
14. Fred and george's swamp was not seen!
15. what happened to the fountain of magical brethen? it didn't make an appearence in the battle between LV and DD!
16. Fawkes' contribution to battle between LV and DD?
17. Sirius' death, rather pathetic
18. when LV possessed Harry, what happened to him talking to DD?
19. the film was absolutely rubbish, it held no resemblence to the book at all!

also..

1.Ron and Hermione the new prefects..??..does David Yates know..??

2.Harry potter is banned from quidtich for life....Isnt that a big thing... well not according to the director..

3.Poor dobby... has anyone seen him lately...

4.no St.mungo's.. i was soo hoping that i would get a glimpse of neville's parents in their present condition... its such an insult to them ..not to show them..

but just mention them...and show them once in that old picture..
5.in that picture that sirius (in the movie only) gives to harry.. james and lily are shown as almost in their early 30s... but when the picture must have been clicked.. they might have been just 20 or 21 yrs old.....

5.i so wished they had shown lily in the scene.. though they deleted it..

6. the gifts sirius gave to harry...

I very much agree with you that too many important details were missing :/ I also understand that it's impossible to have everything in one movie, but still...

Spoiler:

considering it is how Aberforth sends dobby to help the trio and co escape from malfoy manor in DH

They can't just all go round avarda kadarvaing everyones ass can they, unless like it's the last book where none of the curses hit but they flew just over their heads lol.
And how come all of a sudden the DA can perform non verbal spells when they learn these in their 6th year!

No prefects, banned from Quidditch...

Where was the Two-Way mirror? Uh-oh. DH is screwed now.

And why do they always replace what Dobby does with Neville? It happened in GOF, too.
