In the end, Harry wins, not because of superior magic, but because he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the people that he loves, essentially his friends and classmates. Voldemort cannot grasp the concept and has destroyed his soul because he fears death. The only way for Voldemort's soul to be saved is for him to realize that he has hurt others and ask for forgivness, seek redemption. By not doing so, Voldemort has guarnteed that he will spend eternity living as that pitiful scrap of flesh that you see in Harry's talk with Dumbledore. Voldemort dies when his wand, which he could not believe did not answer to him, turns on him and bounces his killing curse at him. In the movie, all discussion of redemption is lost drowning the good vs evil discussion under the guise of a more souped up and unnecessary duel.

Oh now that I completely agree with!! I heard through one of the podcasts some of the plot changes. They gave spoiler warnings but I wanted to hear it. I was fuming. HOW COULD THEY DO THAT???? It changes everything?!?!? BAH!
And lets not forget Harry being perfectly happy with the wand that chose him at age 11 that he used the Elder Wand to repair his broken wand. And the explanation how the Elder Wand is the only wand that could repair other wands. But noooooooooo they had to nix that. Bah!
I didn't like Hedwig dying but I did like the change they made to show her coming back to defend Harry & being killed for her efforts rather than just being hit by a flying curse.
