Things cut out in the movie?

Hi everyone!
Even though the Harry Potter films are amazing and people are practicaly dying from the wait for the next film, does anyone feel a bit disappointed that the directors cut things out?
I understand that if they put every little detail into the films then the films would be a day long, but some things I think they should of kept in. Like why, in the Goblet of Fire, did Neville tell Harry Potter about Gillyweed, not Dobby. I was looking forward to seeing him again. And in the book, Barty JR (disguised as Mad-Eye Moody) said that Harry should of asked Neville how to breathe underwater because Neville had a book saying how, and not be so arrogant!
And plenty of other things as well.
Does anyone agree with me?

Dobby wouldn't have been reintroduced for a minute, that's just bad filmmaking, bringing back a character for such a brief amount of time and not taking them anywhere. Whereas, with Neville, they can utilize an actor they already have with them and they don't have to spend millions on CGI for him.
Though I was lookin forward 2 seein Dobby again!
Thanx for leavin a comment Wilbo421!
More comments, people!
There's a couple of ideas some of us over on IMDb have had as to how they can do this.
1. Have Dobby be a servant at the celebration at the beginning and go on from there
2. Have Dobby as Harry's source of knowledge and communication between himself, Ron and Hermione and Hogwarts.
I think both would work absolutley fine.
Kreacher will be easy to reintroduce.
I laughed my ass out...
Nothing's known about who's going to play The Dumbledores. We don't even know if Ariana, Aberforth or Kendra will be in. The most likely of the three is Aberforth who was protrayed by Jim McManus in the Order of the Phoenix, and he will be fine if they keep him.
England.. Well. I always love England! :) i wish i have a chance to go there..
No, he was actually cast as Aberforth. Which is the weird thing. I don't think it was mentioned that Aberforth was the barman of the Hog's Head until Hallows, so how did they know that? They even had the whole goat reference which cracked me up XD
I doubt that Kendra and Ariana will be a part of the movie; probably just mentioned like in the book.
And yeah, I suppose the same actor is playing Aberforth lol, unless he dies in the meanwhile, which I doubt.
LOL!
:?
LOL!
That would have been a great scene, just to get more of John Cleese in the films.

in short, it was disappointing. i expected much more from the team. they left out a whole lot from what was written in the books. especially the fight for Hogwarts!
though david yates did a splendid job, it was disappointing nonetheless
guess i`ll just stick to the books for now...
it would have been fun to have him in the movies
Really? Millions in CGI for Dobby! You really don't have a clue what your talking about, do you? They're not asking Spielberg to make Dobby, they made him in part 2, why not just have the same crew that made him in part 2 make him for the rest of the movies? Its not that hard, Dobby is already in their software when they created him, if they want to they could just touch up a bit more on him. Millions of dollars, you're funny!
"Touching up" takes millions, you prat, especially to the extent Dobby would need it. And yes, they may have already got the model figured out, but actually animating him to do specific things still, funnily enough, takes people's time, and needs money. Try having a clue about the costs of CGI before you try to say I'm wrong.
Dude, I work in visual arts and effects and it does not take millions, really. You're being mislead. Alot of the people that says it costs millions to touch up, really are just pocketing the money. Visual arts directors and editors are on salary, we're not like actors/actress's that costs millions to appear in movies. It would cost millions to do a movie entirely in CG, but to have effects and CG characters, it would depend on how many, and one character, Dobby that doesn't appear much, wouldn't cost much. Not trying to be a prat, just informing you.
Unless you have Spielbergs team or Peter Jackson's team, then yes, they are quite expensive. But the ones that did HP, no not that expensive. Great cinematography though, in 5 and 6, I give Yates that.
