This is just for fun, as i know some of us would have wanted a bit more!
In order
Shown more tower fighting, like The twins dueling, and then pan down to tonks and remus with their wands raised
Added a smidge more to Courtyard Apocalypse, like some fighting in corridors before reaching the grounds
I would have also added Freds death to the montage during Voldemorts Ultimatum or make it another scene.
DAYTIME BATTLE
20 secs of The great hall battle, the weasleys fighting and THEN have molly and bellas duel
Hagrid tossing one DE Off the bridge, we just needed more hagrid imo...so maybe just another couple secs of him
Another r/hr vs nagini scene, have them running past duels and trying to hex nagini while running or something
So i wouldnt add THAT much but it needed a little more character to it
Stil what we got was amazing, this is just what i would have added

And Hagrid throwing Death Eaters. Please, Yates. I've already e-mailed most of the extras in involved in the courtyard scene, as well as Robbie Coltrane's stuntdouble, just so I could get some information on what was going on. Don't make me start knocking on door please
thats what i think it needed too
Then later when Voldy and Harry crash down in the courtyard there are bodies scattered everywhere.
Seamus placing charges on the Bridge
After McGonagall sees off Snape, I think Harry and the Students should have taken on the Carrows again and had them tied up or put in the dungeons with the Slytherins
Better death scene and more of a duel between Bellatrix and Molly
Fred's death shown, Tonks and Lupin more screen time..
Voldemort destroys the protection around the school,
-Snatchers attack, chase Neville across the bridge who sets off the line of explosives and blows it up
-Death Eaters and Giants charge downhill, and attack the stone Knights.
-The Courtyard gets blown up.
-Death Eater flies in to school, kills the guy and attacks Arthur. Kingsley stops another.
-Wide shot of Giants progressing across the viaduct. One Knight throws a spear – it pierces the Giants throat and he staggers backwards and falls of the viaduct.
-Death Eaters fly across the castle, defenders fire spells – one Death Eater is hit and falls down in flames. Two DE fire spells at a walkway full of students – it explodes and dozens fall.
-Giants burst into the courtyard, one swings his weapon and sends a few people flying. Groups begin firing spells at the Giants faces. Death Eaters also land in the courtyard and begin duelling. Some charge forward towards the door but McGonagall blows up the ground in front of them and disintegrates them ()
-Cut to Harry inside the school heading for the Room of Requirement, Draco following etc
Battle 2 (after the shot of Draco + friends heading to the ROR)
-Shot tracks across the school: the clock tower collapses, Death Eaters fly across firing bolts of lights and roof tops explode
-One DE flies past the astronomy tower and a part of the tower explodes.
-People run through a corridor as Snatchers invade firing spells; one student is strangled by a summoned chain. Death Eaters smash through the windows. Bill and Fleur are firing spells; Percy is duelling by a doorway. Lupin and Tonks move through the fray, Lupin turns and hits a Snatcher, he and Tonks then hold hands as they are surrounded by more and more enemies.
-People are fighting on the staircases: Luna and Neville are back-to-back, firing spells. Luna fires one at Rowle – who blocks it. Dean and Seamus take cover behind some debris as a dozen spells hit the area around them. A Death Eater flies overhead, the camera tracks along with him as he flies through the battle and – like a kamikaze – crashes into one of the staircases. It shakes – close up of Yaxley’s bloodied face – and then the stairs collapses falling onto another and crushing dozens below.
-The camera flies down with two DE, they fire spells at a wall above the courtyard is crumbles and then – cut – people run from the falling rubble, Cormac is hit by some large rocks. A DE flies across the courtyard – he is hit by a spell and crash lands in the rubble.
-Wide shot of the Courtyard: People are duelling across, one giant picks up a girl and throws her. Flitwick is firing spells from the steps. Spiders are seen crawling into the combat
-Lavender moves across the courtyard, she takes cover in the covered part to avoid flying spells. As she turns to fire she is disarmed and Greyback appears, leering.
-Single take: More fighting, Aberforth shoots a spell a one DE – knocks him backwards and then blocks another, he slashes his wand through the air and the DE collapses. He then turns and shoots a rope which entwined itself around a Snatcher’s arm and throws into the rubble. Camera moves towards the doorway where people are duelling.
-Two Death Eaters fly across the courtyard, the camera follows them up swaying past towers – spells firing from them and then they crash through a wall, more battling. Fred and George are seen being pushed back – Fred stuns one DE but is then disarmed as George is knocked back. He looks up and sees a flash of Green.
And I'd Keep Courtyard Apocalypse how it is.
i have a question though, i thought the AK couldn't be blocked? Didn't Goyle try to AK Hermione in the RoR in the film, and she blocked it?
So Crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

Nighttime Battle
-The Quidditch Pitch is burned to the ground.
-Voldemort destroys the protections, cracks appear in the giant orb and he begins commanding Death Eaters to enter.
-DEs enter in smoke form through the holes in the protection, begin flying around the towers, destroying rooftops and wreaking havoc. Among these, we see battalions stationed at each tower defending, including Fred and George.
-Thousands of running Death Eaters and giants thunder through the forests, as the protections crumble, smash through the opening gates and kill the guards.
-Crowds of defenders from Hogsmeade run through the forest to meet the armies at the opening gates, and a battle engages.
-Giants and DEs make it out and smash Hagrid's Hut. We see Hagrid being carried across the Viaduct into the fray, where he calls Grawp.
-Grawp comes thundering through the mountain pass and begins wrestling giants. Hagrid escapes and throws DEs off the Viaduct bridge.
-While the protections crumble, we see Seamus and Neville rig charges on the Covered Bridge.
-Chunks of protection fireballs fall off and onto the castle, some swallowing towers whole, crumbling them into disintegration.
-Chaos erupts inside the castle as thousands of students flee. Harry kisses Ginny passionately as Ron and Hermione leave for the Room of Requirement.
-DEs and giants battle the knights on the Viaduct while Flitwick escapes into the Courtyard. Overhead, DEs begin blowing up the Viaduct courtyard as McGonagall and other fighters defend against the attackers.
-Neville meets the Snatchers, he blows up the Covered Bridge, which collapses and sends Snatchers and Scabior falling to their death.
-A militia of Hogwarts defenders on brooms begin to attack the courtyard baddies from overhead, headed by Fred, George, Percy, and Oliver Wood.
-We see Arthur and Kingsley engaged in battle on the tower, but are joined by Lupin and Tonks.
-Harry runs up the Grand Staircase, moving through crowds of people trying to escape the castle. DEs penetrate the Staircase and thousands of portraits fall down and staircases collapse. Harry stuns a few DEs and makes it to the RoR with the ground crumbling under his feet.
-Ron and Hermione battle DEs as they enter the girl's lavatory, fighting together to defeat opponents.
Courtyard Apocalypse
-Harry, Ron, and Hermione run through the halls after the RoR, where battles are breaking out.
-Fred is stunned and then killed by a DE, still laughing. We see Ron, George, and Percy blow up and go on a rage. Harry struggles to keep Ron under control, they continue moving.
-In the entrance hall, they see Hogwarts professors fighting in their own branches of magic, such as Flitwick, Slughorn, Sprout and Trelawney.
-Draco fights both DEs and defenders, unsure of his place.
-They move into the Viaduct courtyard where they encounter Neville fighting alongside Seamus, Dean, Lavender, Luna, and dozens of other D.A. students.
-Lavender is attacked and bitten by Greyback, whom Hermione stuns.
-The Trio escape the wraths of the giants, spiders, and dementors.
-Aberforth summons a giant Patronus to get rid of the dementors.
-The Trio run down to the Boathouse.
Daytime Battle
-Harry leaps out of Hagrid's arms, Voldemort looking shocked.
-DEs immediately rally and take off, Voldemort blowing up parts of the courtyard as Harry runs.
-Bellatrix shoves her way through the crowd, randomly killing left and right.
-Voldemort engages in battle with Kingsley and McGonagall before going after Harry.
-Kingsley attempts to protect the Great Hall from DE entrance, but is eventually overpowered.
-Nigel, running amongst the crowd, is stunned and then killed.
-A slew of overhead fighting in the Great Hall, where we see Ron and Hermione battling Death Eaters and Neville fighting Bellatrix.
-Voldemort stuns Neville, who attempts to block it with the sword and goes flying.
-Hagrid punching and throwing and casting random spells with his umbrella.
-Bellatrix vs. Molly, Bellatrix is killed and a giant uproar by the defenders.
That's how I envision adding most of it.
I would of added one more thing. I know it's cheesy, but I was watching The Two Towers yesterday and there is pretty cheesy lines throughout it, and it doesn't wreck Helms Deep in the slightest.
After Harry jumps of Hagrid's arms and runs away. I'd love to have a shot of McGonnogal and someone else. Where someone says "What do we do professor." And she replies "We take Hogwarts back."
Someone along those lines. "We're taking Hogwarts back."
I think it would of been a nice set-up to see Hagrid flinging DE's off the bridge and a bunch of characters defeating DE's.
That REALLY sounds epic.
