Mangling of the Deathly Hallows movie ending, opinions please?

Has anyone noticed that in the most recent Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer they openly show the complete mangling of the end of the book? After the point (chronologically in the story not in the trailer) where Harry walks into the forest to let Voldemort kill him I've found it pretty much impossible to find anything that they seem to have done right.

1. There's nobody around but Harry and Voldemort when there should be people surrounding them completely, everybody who wasn't killed in the battle of hogwarts.

2. There's a scene where Voldemort is holding Harry up by his face asking him why he's still alive while in the entrance hall portion of the castle

3. There's a very visible Priori Incantartum scene which appears to be the showdown between Harry and Voldemort. This not only means that they changed the end of the book but also never had Harry's wand getting broken in there earlier on in Godric's Hollow.

4. Harry and Voldemort are outside in a courtyard, not in the great hall.

5. Although definitely not a major problem it's already day outside instead of adding to the dramatic effect by having Harry and Voldemort attack each other just as the sun comes up like in the book.

I can understand them having to change certain parts of the movies to make it more watchable but to actually change every single aspect of the most crucial part of the book? I just can't understand it at all. The ending of the book was absolutely perfect as it was, why would any so called Harry Potter fan that had a part in making the movie do this? I'd be interested to hear your opinions on this.Mangling of the Deathly Hallows movie ending, opinions please?
Trailers can be incredibly deceiving and edited together in way that puts two scenes together which could be complely seperate. The showdown you're describing in your 3rd point might even be a dream sequence that they decided to add.



I'd imagine that several things have been altered but it is certainly too early to tell and the trailer isn't the best judge of the finished product as far as chronological sequence is concerned.
