You are not the only one upset by the lack of Regulus in the movie.
J.K. Rowling clearly wrote the chapter 'Kreacher's Tale' with the intent of the movie showing a flashback. The stuff about Regulus in the movie actually doesn't even make sense if you haven't read the book and don't know what happened. It never even tells us that he was a DEATH EATER! No explanation is given as to how he got possession of the locket or why he betrayed his family. The part in the fifth book where Sirius mentions him is cut out, despite that they had a perfect opportunity for it(the tapestry scene). They had to add in a rather pointless scene in the sixth movie just so that Regulus didn't seem like something pulled out of thin air. And then, when we finally get to Regulus's crowning moment of awesome, all we get is Kreacher saying "Oh, that locket was Regulus's. Mundungus Fletcher took the other one." WTF!?!?!?! Regulus's story was one of the most interesting parts of the book. Regulus turned away from the dark side and gave his life for the hope of maybe helping defeat Voldemort. Say what you like, but I think that makes him the bravest character in the entire series. Seriously, they couldn't spare the time for even a short flashback for Regulus, but they added that ridiculous scene in the last movie with Harry and Voldy jumping off a building and flying around together? What the f*** were they thinking? And then Harry didn't give Kreacher the fake locket, which cheated both Harry and Kreacher of some major character development and gave Kreacher no motivation to help Harry later on, which meant we didn't get an epic house elf attack led by Kreacher screaming "For Regulus!" in the last movie. Also, J. K. Rowling stated in an interview somewhere that Regulus was intended to be similar to Draco Malfoy except that Regulus chose to do the right thing, so cutting Regulus out of the movie stole a bit of depth from Draco's character as well.
(Please excuse the epically long rant. I'm kind of obsessed with Regulus. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an understatement. I'll stop talking-er, typing-now.)
and great portrait here! I love it.
