What exactly didn't you like?

After reading the book five times, I pretty much know the in & outs of the story. Firstly, they never really explained the importance of a Horcrux - or any other possible Horcruxes (i.e. when Dumbledore was explaining to Harry about how something from Ravenclaw & Gryffindor could be a huge possibility for Voldy's Horcruxes) - so, Harry is pretty much going into the next movie blind. They completely made up a pointless sequence in the middle of the film when they return to the Burrow for winter holidays, whatever that was it had nothing to do with the story line anyway - & was a completely useless scene. They could have turned that scene into another memory - potentially the memory that features Hepzibah Smith (I could be wrong with the name) which shows a future Horcrux. Another thing that realllllllly bothered me was that the whole importance of this book was learning all there is to know about Voldemort, his past, present, & future - the viewers still know squat about him. This is very, very, VERY crucial information for Harry in the next book on how to defeat him. I thought Dumbledore's death was all very touching but he does NOT fall out of the Astronomy tower! He'd probably be in pieces when he landed! I thought that was an absolutely awful thing to do (although I understand why they did it that way...I think) - and Dumbledore's burial was out of the film completely which was a huge shocker. That is a very important scene - firstly I think it's significant to know that Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is the ONLY Headmaster to ever be buried on school grounds & it is the scene where Harry breaks up with Ginny. The whole film was wrong from start to finish. However, Draco was absolutely fabulous and was about the only good thing that came from this film.
