No wait, I was absolutely spot on in my analysis. The writers and director totally veered away from the story line at that point and the rest of the movie has no connection to the story in the book (except the epilog).  Yea, I know people died etc etc etc... but they deviated from what JKR worked so hard to build up to the climax to tell the whole story and they (director - writers) just flushed everything down the potty.  I bet if you could get JKR to tell the absolute truth, she would say she was disappointed with the last movie.  As an author and the one who created the HP Universe, there could be no other conclusion.
