He says he did.

I understand his point that Dobby has disappeared from the film series, but Kreacher hasn't been utilized properly either. My argument would have been that Dobby should have been a more regularly recurring character throughout the series, rather than making the monetary decision to cut him from some of the films. If Dobby was properly utilized in the previous films, then his re-appearance in the seventh film wouldn't have seemed so out of place to non-readers, and his death would have held more emotional weight.
