Actually, the reason Harry said "You-Know-Who" instead of the name was because it was Tabooed. But they didn't do that in the movie. AND THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT.

Wow. I was really hoping that, since they were breaking it up into two parts, they would stay true to the book. They always have to change something, don't they?

No. Just no. How could they screw up that much in what's supposed to be the best movie EVER?!?!?! I seriously wanna call them up and tell them bit by bit what happened in the book.

diamonds where I think they could've done better.

But I'm still disappointed. 


•In Harry's escape from the Dursleys, they were supposed to fly to different spots and take portkeys ♦
•If they burnt down the Burrow in the previous movie, did they rebuild it or something?
•Fleur isn't all magnificent like in the books ( )
•They didn't celebrate Harry's birthday (later they cover up for it, when Hermione says "Oh, no! We didn't get to celebrate your birthday party! Ginny and I baked a cake..."
•They rushed into the Ministry, rather than spending weeks planning ♦
•Ron's polyjuice potion in the ministry wore off way slower than Harry and Hermione's
•Harry and Hermione danced together as if they had feelings for each other, when they never did
•Hermione didn't complain enough when Ron left
•Ron wasn't moody enough
•The gloominess from wearing the locket never affected Hermione ♦
•The scene when the locket opened was so over the top (how could Ron see where he was stabbing with all the smoke, too?  )
•The sword didn't have rubies in it
•They were supposed to find out about the sword's venom from Griphook, Gornuk, Ted, and Dean rather than a book ♦
•Harry didn't talk to Krum at the wedding, instead he only saw Xenophilius' necklace ♦
•Bellatrix wasn't evil enough 
•Wormtail didn't strangle himself and everything
•They didn't show Potterwatch

I'll type more later...

EDIT:

•Harry's Patronus used in the Ministry didn't look like a stag; it looked like a white cannonball
•Kingley's lynx patronus wasn't clear; it just looked like an orb
•Their escape from the Ministry was so much bigger than in the book
•They didn't give Kreacher the fake locket
•They didn't go into Regulus's story about his death and everything
•They didn't show Lupin arriving at Grimmauld Place
•They never used the invisibility cloak ♦
•They didn't discuss the Hallows and everything ♦
•They never showed the Taboo ♦
•They were caught by Greyback by who-knows-how, not saying Voldemort's name
•Harry called Voldemort "You-Know-Who" when there was no need too
•Overdramatization 
•Hermione didn't get her throat cut
•Dean Thomas wasn't shown at all
•They didn't show Bill and Fleur at Shell Cottage or anything
•Voldemort wasn't supposed to cast his ultra-pwnage lightning thing after grabbing the Elder Wand
•Luna's house didn't explode because of the Death Eaters, it was the Erumpent horn

EDIT:

•When Harry's wand shot golden flames, they didn't make a big deal about it
•Hedwig didn't die to save Harry, she died from a missing curse ♦
•Hedwig showed who was the real Harry, when in the books they found out because he disarmed someone ♦
•Dobby didn't get a proper funeral (in the book, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, Luna, Bill, and Fleur were all there)

I still think you're making too big a deal on some of these things. because in the time they were there, bill & fleur couldn't have done much. 
Edit: Besides, you don't goto the movies to see an exact representation of the books, you'd be better off just reading the book.

Ok, yes they missed many things, but this is the most by the book they've ever gone!!

maybe not the most, but one of them. the half-blood prince was WAY too centered on harry+ginny. This crushes it by a longshot.

My opinion:

// It was better than the 6th, and the *shudders* 5th //

•Ron's polyjuice potion in the ministry wore off way slower than Harry and Hermione's
//IKR, that was wrong//
•Harry and Hermione danced together as if they had feelings for each other, when they never did

•Bellatrix wasn't evil enough 
//O RLY?//
•Wormtail didn't strangle himself and everything
//Yah, they messed up there//
•They didn't show Potterwatch
//That was kinda important, but they needed to cut it out//
I'll type more later...

EDIT:

•Harry's Patronus used in the Ministry didn't look like a stag; it looked like a white cannonball
//Almost all the patronuses look like that in the 5th movie onward//
•Kingley's lynx patronus wasn't clear; it just looked like an orb
//Read above//
•Their escape from the Ministry was so much bigger than in the book
//Not really, well, a little, but they made sure to keep everything major//
•They didn't give Kreacher the fake locket
//That was important and the messed it up big time//
•They didn't go into Regulus's story about his death and everything
//Read above//
•They didn't show Lupin arriving at Grimmauld Place
//Read 2x above//
•They never used the invisibility cloak
//When should they have...//
•They didn't discuss the Hallows and everything
//I know...//
•They never showed the Taboo
//That was important and the messed it up big time//
•They were caught by Greyback by who-knows-how, not saying Voldemort's name
//What...//
•Harry called Voldemort "You-Know-Who" when there was no need too
//Yah, that was strange//
•Overdramatization 
//BIG TIME//
•Hermione didn't get her throat cut
//That was SOOO minor//
•Dean Thomas wasn't shown at all
//That was minor, but still should have been shown//
•They didn't show Bill and Fleur at Shell Cottage or anything
//They will, but the split prevented it//
•Voldemort wasn't supposed to cast his ultra-pwnage lightning thing after grabbing the Elder Wand
//Yah, they didn't have that in the book, but it was so pwnage that it dosen't matter//
•Luna's house didn't explode because of the Death Eaters, it was the Erumpent horn
//Yah, but it was minor and cooler that way//
EDIT:

•When Harry's wand shot golden flames, they didn't make a big deal about it
//Ok, I guess... but they should have talked about it with olivander, in the next part//
•Hedwig didn't die to save Harry, she died from a missing curse
//Details, details//
•Hedwig showed who was the real Harry, when in the books they found out because he disarmed someone
//Yah, minor, but still they should have fixed it//
•Dobby didn't get a proper funeral (in the book, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, Luna, Bill, and Fleur were all there)
//I know, poor Dobby...//

In all, I think most of the things they left out were minor, but they did mess up a lot.
