Couldn't agree more - if it wasn't for Draco, Quiditch and H/G sub plots in the HBP book it would have been a bit boring but wouldn't have progressed the story at all except giving a lot of background info. DH despite being called the endless camping trip by some is still quite hectic tying up 7 books worth of plot lines.
Just because the PS/SS & COS books were short enough to be screenplays doesn't mean that all subsequent books can be or should be translated to film verbatim.
