It's just greed.  Like they aren't making enough money off these movies already?  When people wonder if they will make 5,6, and 7 I always say how can they afford not to.  The Harry Potter movies have made enormous returns on the money invested.  WB would be insane not to.  Check out http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2001/HPOTT.html for some amazing stats on how much the movies have made.  I just can't believe that they are so money hungry they would cut the running time to get more showings per day.  Well I guess that is why I am not a buisness person...
