Voldemort only disintegrated in the film; in the book, he was simply struck dead by the instantly-rebounding curse. The only time the beam war took place in the books was in Goblet of Fire; none of the other times it happens in the movies make any sense, as it happened only because Harry and Voldemort had twin phoenix feather cores in GoF - in the film of Deathly Hallows' second half, Harry was using Draco's wand (with unicorn hair at its core) and Voldemort was using the Elder Wand (with thestral hair at its core), meaning that that particular beam struggle made the least sense of the ones in the films. At least Voldemort was still using the wand with the phoenix feather core against Dumbledore in the film of Order of the Phoenix.
