I can't remember the book as well as I'd like, but when Mundungus was brought back by Creature, was Dobby there? That confused me in the movie. I thought that maybe they were doing that to introduce him again so that his scene at the Malfoy's would be more climactic.

That being said, I wish there was more creature as well. Him changing around once Harry gave him the fake horcrux, and his role.

As for Snape, I agree that we could have seen more of him. At least, I thought they could have brought some tension into the drawn out bits by having the Order's radio show talk more about Snape and what life was like at Hogwarts once Snape becomes headmaster. No mention of Hagrid's leaving the school (which will make his entrance in the second movie seem not as triumphant), and the role of Neville (and his getting the cruxious cruse).

Speaking of this, I thought they could have drawn out even for a minute longer Hermione's torture by Bellatrix to give us both more anguish over what was going on and give us more reason to hate on Bellatrix.

Overall, I loved it, but thought it was way too rushed ... which was to be expected. I'd love to see them release an extended DVD a la LOTR with some of these things drawn out a bit.
