My biggest complaint regarding both Book 6/7 and movie 6/7 (spoils)

is there are very few 'mark-out' moments in book and film.
Potter in #6 saying basically "If I run into snape, all the better for me, all the worse for him..." --- that's a badass line that needs to happen to convey the reality that it's life and death now.
And Bellatrix's death was so underwhelming. I've waited 4 years to see Molly "GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
They needed all 3 young girls dueling Bellatrix, make it flashy as shit for 30 seconds, let us know Bellatrix is batshit crazy, but great...then have Molly come into the picture as death incarnate raging about her dead son, deliver that line with the fullest fury they can muster and then her and Bellatrix go to war for another 30-45 seconds...and then the death. As it was, the entire thing lasted 10 seconds and had a "Spot of tea" delivery.
You have a moment that on *paper* has people fist-pumping...you gotta treat it as one of those moments where the movie revolves completely about that scene happening.
And I don't think they did.
