I agree that it's not possible to put all the stuff from the book into the film, but I think for this film they relied too much on people having read the book. For those who haven't read the book there is so much left unexplained. I had to basically go through the entire film and explain who was who and what was happening to my friend.
Film-Harry knows only of the diary, ring and locket. He knows nothing of their histories. He doesn't know anything about any of the others. And the making of Deathly Hallows into two films is nothing but a money spinner in my mind.
I think it was Kim (Bitter Angel) who said earlier that they should have replaced the fire at the Burrow with the battle at the end. I completely agree with that. Bellatrix smashing everything up was good, but there was so much more potential there.
I am a huge fan of the Narnia books and really, really enjoy the film versions. They're very well done and can be watched by anyone without too much explanation required.
