I agree that Cedric's death seemed to be more devastating that Dumbledore's, which is weird. They needed to hype the end of movie 6 up big time.
But it is nice that the more unrealistic parts of the movie, such as the magic, are said so prosaically. That's what was good about this movie. They didn't make a spectacle of the magic. It was just there, used, and mundanely as possible. Which was a nice change of pace from some of the previous movies that seemed to focus on the "WOW!" factor of the magic and left the actual plot and character behind.
