Aside from plotholes, what did it add? Anything? They don't talk about it again, there is really no sadness to it, and the scene is entirely pointless. Plus why wouldn't Voldemort himself show up and finish Harry off? Its as if the Death Eaters got shitfaced on Christmas and decided just to play a prank on them.
Well, it added a great visual sequence. Film, being a visual medium, needs a few of those. But I agree that it's like the DE's got hammered and just went out for the fun of it -- but doesn't that fit the characterization of the Death Eaters? That's what they did at the Quidditch World Cup, for example.

HBP shouldn't have had much action in it. They should have focused more on the characters' motivations from Slytherin, and while they did good on Draco and Slughorn, they utterly failed to develop Voldemort and Snape. This isn't a film that stayed too close to the plot to the book, it was just a terrible adaptation which turned the D-Plot in the novel to the A-plot of the film.

As someone who has never, and will never, read the books, I've enjoyed the movies immensely. I skipped out on them at first because "they were kids movies." But once I watched the first one, I was hooked. And I've liked them all since. The one before the last one (Half Blood Prince, I guess) is the second-best of the series IMO...so the movies have maintained a high quality throughout the entire series, which is very impressive.
From a pure entertainment perspective (and again, sans reading the books), the HP series has been awesome.

Yeah, but that was before Voldemort's return. Once he comes back into the picture, he rules with an iron fist. You f up, you die. Unless you're one of his pets.
