Two complaints

I loved the movie but I do have 2 complaints.

1) The Snape's worst memory scene is WAY too short and Lilly isn't
even in it, nor do they make clear just how bad Harry felt about
seeing his father act like this toward a Snape that was just minding
his own business.

2) The didn't have the single best scene in the entire book, the scene
when Harry becomes non linear and wrecks Dumbledore's office.

I confess I just don't get it, directors go on and on how they don't
want to make their movie too long, and yet the have 10 or 12 minutes
of closing credits. I humbly suggest they all should flash by in 10
seconds. True, at that speed nobody could read them, but that is a
minor point, nobody reads them anyway; and if you have a burning
desire to know if the first aid paramedic for the second unit was John
Smith or Jack Smyth you can always look it up on the internet, or
freeze frame it when you get the DVD.

I've mentioned this before and I always get comments from people
saying that they just love closing credits, but just how much do you
really love them? Do you love them more than an entire subplot
(probably two) that was in the book but not the movie? And look at
some great classic movies, in many of them the closing credits last no
more than 10 seconds, this modern trend of endless credits stinks.

By the way, Regulus Black may not be RAB after all, if he was you'd
think JKR would have tipped off the movie makers (as she did for
Kreature) that they'd be wise to at least mention him.
