Sweet! That should mean less things cut from the book! That also means we havent seen much clip wise...

That's great news!

And hopefully that'll be the *only* comparison we'll be able to draw with the Chamber of Secrets movie.

AWESOME! I always knew it'd be alot MORE than OOTP... BUT i still wish it was LONGER than COS... it's annoying how that cheesy mechanical movie is still the longest HP movie to date! lol

WAIT ANDREW YOU'RE WRONG AGAIN! AS USUAL, LOL JK. ;) ANYWAY HBP IS NOT THE 2ND LONGEST HP MOVIE, IT'S THE 3RD LONGEST! AFTER COS AND GOF, WHICH WAS 157 MINUTES!

Wooo great ^_^

A 2nd or 3rd HP movie out of 6, but it still a lot important things from the book are ommitted; No Bill Weasley & Fleur Delacour, The Gaunt Family, House-elves, Moaning Myrtle, The Funeral with the participation of Centaurs, Merpeople etc. and many more...

:-). WOO

Wow, didn't know the CoS movie was that long. Kinda interesting... It is good news though, nice long movie ^_^

Yay ^-^

Ha yea its the 3rd longest HP.I didn't know they took that much out of it.I'm pissed now.They should have put the funeral.That's bull.Argh whenever thats still a long movie I guess.

actually its the third longest. 1st.. CHamber of Secrets at 165 mins 2nd.. Goblet Of Fire at 157 minutes 3rd. Half Blood Prince at 153 mins

YES! Sweet! I wanted it to be that long! But remember, Goblet of Fire is longer, so it's the third longest! I'm so relieved now. THANK YOU MR. YATES!

Also, there is always 10 or more mins of credits. OOTP was long for a normal movie, but it was really 2 hrs 8 mins, excluding credits. Goblet was 2 hrs 25 mins. Chamber was 2 hrs 28 mins. SS was 2 hrs 20 mins. POA was 2 hrs 10 mins. That means this will be 2 hrs 20 mins- 2 hrs 25 minutes! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hell yeah!

FINALLY some GOOD news coming from WB. This is the most excited I've been for a Potter movie =D

Awesome!!! :D

ooooh yeah!!!! super excited now!!!

This makes me really, really happy!

YAY!...the longer it is, the more they include!!! :D Wish it could be longer tho, but you cant get everything you wish for

that is AWSOME i can't wait that's INSANE, that's such a difference from order of the pheonix, does this mean it's the longest so far?

I'm so glad that this one is at least 2 and 1/2 hours long! They would never have been able to do this story justice in a shorter amount of time! I only hope that both parts of Deathly Hallows are this long, if not longer!

i'm glad that it's nice and long. even though they cut some things, the scenes they do include will be good and will not have to be rushed.

I agree with the first post, at least this means that we will be seeing more of the book, and that the few juicy clips we've seen haven't taken away from the actual movie. This better bee good, I've waited a whole two years and two days to watch this! xP

Two and a half hours plus three minutes? YAY! haha that sounds good to me!

this is great news!! of course, imo, we all could sit through 3 hours plus!! and i'm really excited about the upcoming Hp weekend...didn't realize that was happening. thanks for the info! BTW...when will MN change the countdown? it's still 2 days off! my countdown is only 49 days and that sounds better than 51! anyway...thanks for the great news!

YESS!!!! I am so so happy it's not short like Order of the Phoenix.

SWEET!!! the longer the better! this also means we havent seen all of the clips in the trailers. i was afraid they were showing to much.

Excellent! Now it's decorating time - where's the Half-Blood Prince layout Mugglenet?!?

yes!!! thats awesome!!! that means not as much cut from the books :D i never realised that harry potter movies were THAT long, i thought they were all ike 2 hours

HECK YES BABYYYYY! I'm glad we have a long film, unlike OotP which was waaay too short for my liking. I cannot wait to see it. I have such high hopes for this film. :)

I CAN DIE HAPPY! :DDDDD

i can't believe this! i didn't know that C0S was the longest m0vie..! i always thought it was GOF...! and I SOO CAN'T BELIEVE that OoTP was the shortest! i mean, how was that possible, C0S was just a very short bo0k compared to OoTP...! this is REALLY unbelievable.. [how did they do that!?] and, oh, i'm glad that it seems we haven't seen the whole movie via clips.. s0o excited!

NOW we're getting somewhere. It's still a little messed up that CoS is longer than the rest but what's done is done and I'm quite happy about the length of this one :)

HECK YEAH!

:D!!!!!! BEST HBP news yet!!! YAY!!!

Ohh, you all are right; GoF and CoS are both longer than this one! My guess is that Andrew just checked the MuggleNet archives which say that GoF is 150 minutes. But who cares? It's still a goodly length and we should be pleased it's not shorter than OotP.

woohoo! tis is great news for me. 153 mins is just about right to do justice to the book.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

this is GOOD! this means that they'll get all the good stuff from the book into the movie. and plus, i'll be out until like three a.m. at the midnight showing now which is always a party(: hooray:D

YES!!!! It's the perfect length!! Not too short and not too long!! I love it!!!! I'm so excited. I was worried we were seeing too much in all the trailers, but now that I see how long the movie actually is....I'm sure there's still TONS of footage we haven't seen. With the trailers we've probably seen a total of ten minutes of the film. YAY!!!

For some reason I always thought PoA was longest.. I think my mom told me it was like a 3 hour movie.. Strange. Only thing I knew apart from that is that OotP is shorter than PS.. (which really bothered me). It's good that it's so long and that we haven't seen that much clips yet..

SS is 152 minutes; COS is 161 minutes; POA is 142 minutes; GOF is 157 minutes; and OOTP is 139 minutes long; So this one is the third longest. I always thought POA was longer than it is too but I think it's because of the whole time turner thing...it makes the movie seem alot longer because we see the some of the same sequences twice.

Haha guys guys guys... It IS the second longest, GOF is 157 minutes including the long credits at the end. The film itself without the credits is 2 hours and 17 minutes. Cmon guys, think ;)

I think I'm the only one who will say that COS was my favourite movie and book.

Yayy! That means they shouldn't be leaving too much stuff out :) although I heard they were leaving out Dumby's funeral which sux :(
