The Elder wand -- Book vs movie

Hi Group,
I have read the books and watched the movies many times..  And for
the most part I think the movies captured the books very well except
the last movie.

In the books Harry repaired his broken wand and restored the elder
wand with Dumbledore.

Why in the movie did they have Harry break the Elder wand and throw
it away??

It seemed very short sighted for the film makers if the wanted to
make more films and why so different from the book?

The sending of the children off to school in the 19 year epilogue
really whet my desire to see how the children would do and feed my
love for more Harry Potter !!!   Any thoughts?

    Charla
