Well, at least the HBP book is shorter than GOF or OOTP, so hopefully there 
will be room for more events. That's my favourite book (well, close second 
after GOF), so I'm really looking forward to it, as well as hoping they do a

good job. Yet another reason why I was done injustice with the moving of 
the release date! :-P It should be more than 2.5 hours.... More like 
closer to 3 hours, like GOF was. (Cross your fingers!)

GOF was 2:30 minutes without credits, and you're right, it should have been
three hours.

 

The main issue I had with GOF is that the film focused on five events, the
Quiditch cup, the three trials and the Yule Ball. It didn't feel like a
connected story, just segments. Cedric, Fluer and Krum where just mannequins
through most of the film. It was really just about getting the main plot out
of the way. 

The graveyard scene didn't have half as much weight as the three challenges,
the dragon was more threatening than Voldy. Really lost opportunity in that
film.

 

I wanted OOTP to be longer.. but I still thought it was better than GOF.
