Ever since Yates took over the Potter franchise, the movie plots have departed more and more from the book. I understand the need to omit scenes for the sake of time, but to add scenes that do not aid the movement of the movie is beyond my comprehension. I don't understand why Ginny's sad attempt to flirt led her to tie Harry's shoe. Why did the Death Eaters lure Harry to an open field & set the Weasley's house on fire? And most importantly, why was the Death Eaters' climactic exit from Hogwarts omitted? They were just allowed to walk out the door! The fans were waiting for that fight! I disliked this Harry Potter movie more than any other. I can only hope that they do not massacre the final movie the way they have the last 3 movies!
