GOF one movie?

[Donna]

Much as I would love to see GoF as one of those old fashioned 4 hour 
epics, I do doubt that WB will let that happen.  Not even Star Wars, 
one of the most popular franchise movies of all times, is given that 
honor.  And IMO, George Lucas could have written the stories that way.

Unless the "Accountants" at WB can show a massive amount of black 
ink, we will only see a 2 1/2 to 3 hour film (although 3 hours might 
be pushing it).  

There were so many things I missed seeing in the first two movies.  
Peeves wasn't even mentioned and he surely is one of the best comic 
relief characters in the novels.  I would just love to see Remus send 
that wad of gum up his nostril.

We won't see two Quidditch matches in PoA.  Much to my regret.  I 
don't think we will see Draco and his cronies get the drubbing they 
deserve when they impersonate the dementors.

Of necessity, there will be much missing from GoF.  I believe the 
movie will concentrate on the Triwizard tournament.  Much of the 
subplots of the book will be lost.  But that shouldn't deter us from 
enjoying the movie.  After all, if Peter Jackson, with his LOTR 
movies has "rewritten" Tolkien, then JKR will surely be.  But let us 
have this consolation.  Steve Kloves does write the scripts and lets 
JKR have input.  The important things will be there.  I, for one, 
will not be disappointed.  It's just another way for Harry Potter to 
be told.
