HBP always felt like marking time for me, and then the main problem I had with DH was that it felt crowded what with the Horcruxes, the Hallows and the wandlore. I'd have liked to move some of the Horcruxes and foreshadowing of the wand stuff into HBP to allow DH to concentrate on what I think JKR was most interested in doing with that book, showing the other shoe dropping emotionally. I'd have liked the war to be longer.
I agree, DH was too crammed. I think that it would have been interesting to see more of the war, too, especially because DH focused more on searching for the horcruxes with only snippets of what was happening with the fighting. Great idea :)
