What happend at the end of HP. Half-Blood Prince? Why was there no battle?

The direction felt like putting a battle in HBP then in DH would make the ending to repetitive with a big battle and people dying and grieving. That's also the reason he took out Dumbledore's funeral.

I was surfing the web and found a site that said that the director felt that this movie didn't "need" a battle. it explained that if there was a battle in this movie, the one in the seventh movie would hold less meaning and be too repetative for the audience. I think that the reason why they took out Dumbledor's funeral was very similiar. They want the seventh and eighth movies to be the most powerful and unique; they are planning on staying identical to the final book.

i dont think there should be a battle because the point of the book was to discover snape continuing from order of the phoenix and also because the battle is the last part where good triumphs

well they didnt have a battle cuz in the book it said tat when the death eaters entered hogwarts, after dumbledore was killed by snape, snape told the death eaters to go away and 2 leave from hogwarts

I think they are ruining the sixth movie by not adding the battle. it sounds evil but not having fred or george (cant remember) die kind of screwed up the movie.

I think it was stupid to leave it out. Obviously, it was not close to the huge battle in the seventh book. In HBP, it is the Order plus a few DA kids versus some Death Eaters. In DH, it is everyone plus creatures and trolls and what not.
