[HPFGU-Movie] Peeves' Part

>Have none of you heard? Peeves IS in the movie, because the original
editor's cut is 4 hours long! But then they used their common sense and
realised that no 6 year old is going to sit still through 4 hours of a
movie, whether they love it or not (they had trouble in the recut
version). To save extra time they cut 1 1/2 hours extra footage, which
we're all hoping will be released on DVD as part of the movie again.

Much though I'd love to believe in this 4 hour cut, I have been forced lately to develop doubts in its existence. Does anyone have a reliable source quoting that there is that much footage? Surely they knew right from the beginning that it couldn't be more than 2 1/2 or 3 hours long? They wouldn't have shot nearly twice as much footage as was needed, would they?

My pedantic boyfriend would also like to point out that it isn't a 'directors cut' at all - that's what the final version is. If it exists, the 4 hour version isn't any sort of cut - that's why it's so long!!

Lucy, hoping that someone can prove the existence of this 4 hours of Harry Potter
