Exclusive: Order of the Phoenix UE clip on not splitting Goblet of Fire into 2 movies
Warner Bros has provided SnitchSeeker with an exclusive preview of the Creating the World of Harry Potter documentary featured with the Ultimate Editions of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, out Tuesday. The clip below highlights why Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was chosen to remain as a one-off film, rather than be split into two installments, as Deathly Hallows had. Director Mike Newell and producer David Heyman commented on the decisions to keep certain scenes and themes out of the fourth movie, and to carry on the process of keeping the installments to one film each from then on, excluding the seventh.
Newell: David Heyman came to me with number four and said would I read the book. I read it and the book is vast, this great big sort of house-brick thing, and clearly there were one or two things to do: you either had to the whole thing, in which case you had two movies, or you had to take a very strong line on this and say it's only this, and dispense of everything else. And I thought that it was a great thriller, it's like a Hitchcock thriller; and I was very convinced that it was only one film, so I was simply ruthless with the stuff that I couldn't see a way of doing.
Heyman: We probably could have made a bit more of the Quidditch World Cup, for example, if we had more time. But ultimately we felt we could do it one, and actually that decision held with [Harry Potter films] five and six, because once we made that decision with four we couldn't go back.
Stay tuned for SnitchSeeker's review of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince Ultimate Edition DVDs in the coming days.

I think I agree with their reasoning for the most part. Sure, it might've been nice to have two movies for each one so we could see everything onscreen, but doing all that seems unnecessary and tedious. The movies as they are, while not perfect, are still very good films and good adaptations overall. Plus, I think the two-films thing is best left for the last one since it is the last one. As the final book, DH deserved to be split into two movies so everything could be wrapped up properly and so they could do justice to all the important scenes. The other books did not need it as much.

It would have been very exciting seeing the book split into two movies. But I think they made the right decision though. It wouldn't have been the same excitement in Goblet of Fire if they'd made two movies. You would have lost the feeling a bit, I think.
But still, a bit sad that we didn't get to see Goblet of Fire more detailed and longer.

I'm glad they have said some reasoning for some parts of the movie! If GoF did come two movies then it would be weird to just have OotP and HBP as one.

I agree with their choices, even though I was very dissapointed when I first watched GoF and OotP because some of my favorite parts weren't there. However, it makes sense that they didn't cut it into two movies, because it might've been a little bit too much then!

I love the background stuff. It is so interesting to me on how they come up with the ideas and how they cast people.
Can't wait to get these two dvd's. Broke at the moment so will have to wait.
I am hoping they put alot on the last set of these dvds from Deathly Hallows.
That will be a sad one I think because then you will have a completion.
