So, if they actually filmed the funeral, why didn't they show it? I 
agree, with the anticlimactic tone of the teachers/students gathered 
around Dumbledore's body. I mean, hello, Hagrid, the biggest baby of 
them all, was just standing there. He would've been howling in grief, 
no? I thought this was much less dramatic a scene than when Cedric was 
killed. :-(
