I did a very simple DH Part 1 Extended Edition HERE

Other than the two scenes I added in, and a couple subtitles to help along the passage of time, I don't really think any of the others would make a difference (Ron talking to his dad is a good scene, but kills all pacing).

Yeah, I keep going back and forth on this. Some of the scenes make no sense without further info, a lot have green screens, a couple don't fit because they were replaced with a montage. It's pretty thin for what's useful.

Considering they needed to stretch a really slow story into 2 movies, I guess that's to be expected. I'm currently looking into doing this though only to add some high dynamic range gain to it.

It won't be anywhere near what I was showing in my tests.

I'm curious what others think, but on a well calibrated TV there are several scenes that are just black with some blobs moving around. I don't know if the people that built the DVD were crap at their jobs, if the movie was intended to have bits with effects shots that can't be scene(?) or if they assume everyone has LCD televisions in torch mode that has to be compensated for.

I assume the last is true. Anybody with a professionally calibrated (or pretty well amateurly calibrated) TV find some scenes to be too dark to even make sense in Deathly Hallows?
