Although I really wouldn't have minded if they had changed the story and not killed Hedwig, that part always annoyed me, it seemed so unnecessary. Although in the movie they at least made her death mean something by having her die protecting Harry.
I just assumed that she was killed off so JK didn't have to write about her, I mean would she be with Harry while they're camping? Give away his identity when taken to Malfoy Manor?
I think the worst thing about the movie is also telling about how good it was -- the fact that the story didn't end. I was dying for the movie to keep going, and so was my girlfriend who doesn't give a flip about Harry Potter.
Actually, I did remember one part of the movie that annoyed me a little...
In the book, when Voldemort finds Grindelwald in his prison cell, Grindelwald stands up to him and doesn't reveal the location of the Elder Wand. Afterwords, Voldemort kills him. Neither of those happened in the movie.

At this point I just assumed they wanted to speed up the scene because I also thought there was a part when Nagini attacks Harry that Voldemort actually shows up at the last minute or something.
And this is just a minor pet peeve of mine, but based on the movie world logic, it made no sense for them to head to the Burrow since we saw it attacked by the Death Eaters in Half Blood Prince so we already know they can invade it.

Yeah, Voldemort was definitely supposed to show up there...although to be fair, I didn't think that part of the book was really well written - I had to read it several times just to figure out what exactly had taken place in that house.

The first part of this movie was boring. My friend stated that it followed the book (with all the traveling and stuff). I still haven't picked up the last two books. I should...because the books are much better than the films.
My question is....was the two-parts really necessary, or could they have fit this into a neatly edited, awesome 3-hour movie?

The first part of Deathly Hollows was the only Potter movie I truly disliked. We already knew the characters and also knew the danger they were in. All the important plot points could have been addressed in 30 minutes. And we would have been saved this awkward moment:
