This just in.  It would appear that WB is not going to mess around 
with their potential gold-mine.  All the rumors have been that the 
cut is long.  Apparently the time has been set at 142 minutes, nearly 
two and a half hours!

"Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone: The upcoming film version of 
the JK Rowling book has already broken a record it seems. Most kid-
aimed films run about 90 minutes in length, the longest so far were 
the '98 remake of "The Parent Trap" and the classic "Mary Poppins" at 
127 minutes and 139 minutes respectively. Word comes in now the final 
cut of the kids fantasy epic will clock in at around 142 minutes - 
almost two and a half hours long. "

Also, the October issue of "Vanity Fair" going on sale this week has 
a Harry Potter cover story with 22 pages of pictures.  Looking good!
