(Spoilery) Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II

So, last week, I made a shopping list of thing I wanted to see in the last Harry Potter movie. Things that weren't slavishly reproducing the last half of the book blow for blow, but variations that I hoped to see in the movie. Stuff like:

More than a couple of minutes of Neville badassery.

An actual redeptive arc for Draco. Hell, a single redemptive scene would do.

Ron and Hermione not just disappearing when the action moves to Hogwarts. You know, giving the major characters of the series something to do in the finale would be nice. And something that isn't just randomly slipped in there. It should be Ron and Hermione's story as much as Harry's.

Also Ginny.

A finale that isn't the last half hour of the two hour film filled with exposition.

The horcruxes actually still being important and difficult to dispose of. Rather than you getting the impression the writer suddenly got bored with that plotline and whipping through the remaining horcruxes as quickly as possible to get them out of the way.

Some Slitherin actually sticking around to defend Hogwarts. You know, just one or two in a crowd scene, even.

More than a few seconds of Horace Slughorn doing something decent.

Snape's ending? 

For that matter, showing how major characters die instead of just tossing it out in passing.

And if you have a major gay character in the series, why not use the opportunity to mention that on-screen?

So, did I get any of what I wanted?
