Harry Potter- round 6-who's ready?

While I abhor the idea of turning movies into a long trailer for the Super-Extended Director's Cut DVD.

If you want 16 hours of screen time for your story that's why god created miniseries.

As some critic (Ebert?) says, there's no such thing as a good movie that is too long or a bad movie that is too short. If telling a story well takes 4 hours, then take four hours or don't tell the story. That said, nothing in the Harry Potter movies indicates to me that their flaws are a result of not having enough time.
