Maybe they couldn't include enough extra's (vs. LOTR) because there's a lot of kids and they have school to attend? Whereas all of the characters of Peter Jackson's trilogy were adults, plus everything was filmed all at once, without taking pauses to wait for books to come out, etc (I know most of the books were already written way before, but you know what I mean).
You know, I always told my parents I would wait till all 3 LOTR were out on DVD for us to finally buy a DVD player. We still don't own one. Except for on computers.
I wouldn't mind seeing book 5 divided into 2 films (one Thanksgiving, one Christmas, like I heard the rumor would be for the 3rd or 4th book). I also would have liked the Quidditch World Cup to have been longer. It seemed like it took up half the book when I read it over 4 years ago (although that might have been cos I read it all in one day and was exhausted by the end).
