Even if some of it were a matter of editing, it can't all be. Think about when Dumbledore was in his chamber with Harry. He flies around the room freaking out, and then sits on the floor in a huff exclaiming that the situation is driving him mad. Dumbledore just doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve like that. I also missed the kindness in him during the last scene with he and Harry. I don't think he would have so abruptly told Harry that he can't bring his parents back.
Perhaps this is their way of detaching us from him since he dies in book six? Maybe they don't want their audience getting angry about his death?
I'm glad that it isn't two movies. It easily could have been, but I really want to see them make all seven movies. They need to do it as quickly as possible for that to happen.
And just because it's been bugging me, Harry is fourteen in this movie, not thirteen.
