 When the story got back to Hogwarts and Neville fill them in what
happened in the school, I was thinking "geez I wished the camera was
with Neville all these times instead."

Yes - exactly!  Earlier I posted about this very thing.  There was
no "B" storyline.  We didn't get to switch to other events in the
wizarding world.  I think it would have helped tremendously if these
events were interspersed into the camping story.  It may have even
increased the tension if we read how terrible things were for
everyone else and then we flip back to Harry & Co. who are
struggling to make progress - if it were written that way, I would
have joined Ron and Hermione as they talked about Harry behind his
back about not having a plan!
