People were fawning over him because of how 'detailed' his info was. For the most part he just tweaked what was in the book, used common sense, build up pieces from what we already knew and said comments like "oh yeah blah blah is very good, very emotional. You'll love it"

Details can change during production and everything he said was true so far to me. I definetley belive him. You've only see short flashing clips of the film so far, so how can you say Ginny's not in the ROR scene. I don't remember him saying Ron etc were not going to be in it? I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE WRONG.
About the 7 potters scene, how do you know there's know battle in the reeds after the 7 potters? Remember the preview footage shown at that WB presention thingy, where only a few people saw it and it was only like 4 -5 mins?
People reported that there was a part where Harry was standing in what seemed like the Burrow reeds and he was all wet (Very much like the HBP sequence).

do you guys know if they'll show
the finished product by then?

Its still chaotic at the studios. Ive got to say that the new Hogwarts sets that will be used for the battle are beautiful. The Grounds are expanded, as well and youll be able to see every little corner of them in Part Twos climax.
They've changed the Hogwarts Grounds but they're extremely close to the wide shots we all saw in 'Prince's climax where Harry tries to fight Snape but fails. The gigantic slope that connects the castle and Hagrid's Hut has been constructed. It's quite reminiscent of the slope in Prisoner of Azkaban but this one feels more like a steep mountain 'cliff' let's say. Imagine the grounds around Hagrid's Hut you all saw when Snape and Bellatrix stun Harry but just expand up to the entrance of the castle. There is a new part of the Grounds that expands behind the Clock Tower as well.
They've built battlements and castle walls that we haven't seen before as well.
Battle scenes take place almost everywhere: at the Gates
and forest pathway to the Grounds, the Great Walls of Hogwarts that protect its grounds (there will be massive. action sequences there: Death Eaters and Dementors attacking Aurors and Order of the Phoenix members who are guarding the castle), the Hogwarts Grounds (slopes, Hagrid's Hut, Forbbiden Forest, Lake shore, Mountain ridges, hills and ancient ruins), the Bridges (2 or 3 totally I think), the Courtyards, the Great Hall and Entrance Hall and all the main Towers of Hogwarts (Clock Tower, Dumbledore's office tower, Astronomy Tower etc.). Trust me, from what I've seen, it's probably going to be the most stunning and breathtaking 'war' sequence you've seen in a fantasy film.
The first part of the battle doesn't focus on Harry. It shows every little part of the castle and its grounds.
The second part of the battle is quite different because all Death Eaters have gathered at the Great Walls and Gates of Hogwarts and Voldemort and his close 'companions' are waiting for Harry in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. So when Voldemort and his DEs go towards the castleto announce Harry's 'dead' the whole scene happens at the slopes of Hogwarts where the "good" side has gathered at the top of the slopes and all Death Eaters surround Hagrid's Hut and Gates of Hogwarts. Voldemort and Neville are in the middle of the Grounds. So the first part of that second battle takes place at the Grounds and then they enter the castle again and keep fighting. I know my description may be quite vague but there's just too much in both battle sequences.
McGonagall definitely has some action scenes but I don't know how they're supposed to shoot them.
I think the whole climax starts quite impressively when she and Snape have a very 'extravagant' battle scene. Quite similar to the one with Voldemort and Dumbledore. And then come the scenes where the 'Hogwartians' prepare for the battle and go to various places at the Grounds and castle Towers, while Voldemort and his army arrive outside Hogwarts, then we have the Chamber of Secrets sequence and the Fiendfyre battle. And after all this stuff the first battle erupts.
