Those are very good points Frossbyte.

Especially this one, Spoiler: [quote]The "big change" at the end is that there is no battle throughout the halls of Hogwarts. They all show up, Dumbledore dies and everyone runs out as Bellatrix lays waste to the great hall. No one gets mauled by a werewolf, we don't have any Molly and Fleur bonding over broken Charlie (think that's his name) scene and no one else at the school really even seems to notice that they've been invaded by a bunch of bad guys. Which is kind of odd, but the movie's pretty damn long as it is without needing even more crap going on to confuse things further.[/qoute]

Because, as it played out in the movie, the death eaters presence had no meaning whatsoever, and therefore Malfoy's entire plotline (including him overdramatically whipping off the cover to the cabinet every 10 minutes), was also meaningless.

I do disagree with you though on the ranking of the HP5 vs HP6 movies. I watched HP5 again today so I could have fresh comparison. And while HP5 is still not my favorite HP film, it is leaps and bounds better than HP6. I mean, at least stuff happened in HP5. I really feel like that, other than Spoiler: Dumbledore's death, the "movie only" crowd could completely skip this movie and still know what is going on in the next one(s). This is the first HP movie that I actually feel like I wasted my time and money on. I, for one, will not be buying this one on DVD.
