The movie can go on for quite a while (look at Indian movies) as long as it keeps the audience's attention and is meaningfully long.

You watch Indian movies? :blink: Understand Hindi? Or did you just hear about it?
Almost all last for more then 3hrs. Some 4.

Yes, I've heard of their infamous length. I don't know a word of Hindi.

Some Indian movies go up to 4 hours???? Wow...

Well, think about this: you burn more calories standing up than sitting down. By 60 grams, I think. (I don't remember; my local news program started talking about it days ago.)

Pics, pics, and more pics...hopefully the trailer will come out soon. :sun:

Well, try writing all the imp parts in DH. You will end up with one big list. Believe me, I tried it. And I even divided the parts into half. The ideal place to split the movie would be when Voldermort takes possession of the Elder Wand (the part after Harry buries Dobby). The evil grin on Voldermort's face would be a good way to end part 1. Also, it exactly divides the book into half (i.e. taking into account only the necessary parts - the first half of the book contains quite a few unnecessary ones).

i agree....i think it would be better to end part 1 just as dobby and harry are leaving Malfoy's house....Then part 2 can start with Ron , Hermione , Harry and everyone else at Shell cottage....

Ah, the movie got postponed to July of next year (I noticed that no one seems interested in this anymore). What the heck...that's like 10 more months we have to wait for now. :o

They showed the teaser trailer for nothing too.

Er, I actually suggested the part 1 end after the trio have made it to the Shell Cottage when Harry gets the image (or whatever the heck you call it) of Voldermort breaking into Dumbledore's tomb to get the Elder wand. Either way, it makes little difference. And the part of the 6th movie getting delayed by 8 months has really made me angry. Though I dunno why I bother, HP is practically done with.
