Oh, you mean that they will replace Dobby with Kreacher, but he will 
stay alive after rescuing the prisoners? Maybe, yeah, although I 
doubt that we'll see Kreacher leading the nonexistent (in the movies) 
Hogwarts house-elves into battle :-). In this case they will need to 
show the elves at Hogwarts first, and I doubt that they want to :-).

Yeah, I cried through the entire grave-digging and burial scene ;-(.

Yeah, and no one even moved their finger when the dragon broke his 
chain and flew after Harry! In the book the dragon handlers were 
standing by, ready to interfere (at least that's what McGonagall 
said). In the movie, the situation obviously has gotten out of hand, 
but the teachers and the handlers were just sitting there like 
dummies, waiting to see what will happen.

But, Carol, you must understand that it's a movie! They need to make 
a scene spectacular, even if not as realistic or canonical as you and 
I would want! If the dragon didn't break the chain and stayed on the 
ground, they would have to let go of this high-speed dragon chase 
scene, and of course they couldn't do this! Really, you are asking 
too much of them :-).
