I agree that deaths can be different in the movies, but I don't
believe they can change *who* dies and *who* doesn't, this would be
too much of a change. As for the manner of death - yeah, I think they
will change it for some characters. For instance, I think they will
show how Lupin and Tonks actually died, not just show them already
dead, like in the book - this is just not cinematographic enough. JKR
said that Lupin was killed by Dolohov, and Tonks by Bellatrix, and I
think the movie-makers would want to use this information to make
these deaths more spectacular for the movie (and make us witness one
more of Bella's evil deeds :-)). They may also show Mad-Eye's death, I
think.

I don't think we'll see Moody die, I think the scene will focus squarely on
Harry. However, I agree, the battle at Hogwarts is far too Harry-centered in
the book, I think other than the
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong camping sequence it was the
books only other flaw - okay, not true, I think the entire logic of wand
possession and Hallows made the book far to contrived and I think in the end
it should have been purely Harry against Voldemort and Harry finally becomes
the wizard he was meant to be and kicks Voldy's ass. That's what I really
wanted - I admit it at long last.

 

However I hope the director simplifies things a little and make battle at
Hogwarts more LOTR style - which is to say HUGE, EPIC!

 

Also, I want Neville to Crucio Bellatrix before Mrs. Weasley finishes her
off.
