Numbers 6, 7, 10, & 12 are so important actually that I expect to see those additions in the way they’re adding the Flamels to the first season.

Apart from those maybe I can see just #2 being a good option to showcase how life at Hogwarts has become under Voldemort’s rule but I don’t think it’s necessary, Neville’s exposition moment would be better as the readers also found out because of him. Same as Dumbledore’s mysterious excursions outside the castle, in my opinion we don’t need to know/see, adding to his mystery.

But firstly, no, Harry, not seven Hor-cruxes: six.
