OotP to last 138 minutes
 
According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), Harry Potter and the Order the Phoenix will last precisely 2 hours, 18 minutes and 4 seconds. It’s not as long as some of us had hoped, but the movie will definitely keep us at the edge of out seats until the very last second.


Personally, I think it’s quite short. I’m scared they’ll have cut exciting or important scenes.

argentinaz_angel 05-30-2007 02:05 AM

That sounds short!!! POTC3 was longer than that!!

Moxie 05-30-2007 02:06 AM

Ahh, man! I wanted more!!

Second to post!

D.A Forever 05-30-2007 02:09 AM

Wha?! That tooo short! <_<

kaZombie 05-30-2007 02:09 AM

that is way too short @.@
it should be like at least 2.45

#1_harry_potter_fan_22 05-30-2007 02:12 AM

WHAT1?!?!:faint: that is WAY too short! i cant believe it:no: PotC3 was like three hours i think anxd this is pretty short for a movie*sighs* oh well i guess theres nothing we can do about it:no:

cannonkeller 05-30-2007 02:21 AM

that's it?

The Old Toad 05-30-2007 02:39 AM

Way too short and OOTP i think had a very complicated plot line with lots of parts in it... They're going to cut something major. Like they did with Winky.

cgold 05-30-2007 02:58 AM

Should be longer but as long as they have created a really good movie then the length really does not matter that much. Now have they created a good movie? We'll just have to wait and see.

bitsyandtank 05-30-2007 02:59 AM

Wow, that's kind of short. I was hoping for more.

harry_lover1234 05-30-2007 03:01 AM

!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's too short!!!!!!!


Bleh. They've probably cut out my favorite parts. And my favorite parts are the stupid parts that they've cut out.


Bleeeehhhh. Stupid movie people.

Zoe 05-30-2007 03:24 AM

Wow! That seems so short for a movie being made from a BIG book.

S_potter 05-30-2007 03:33 AM

i can sit in a theater for 5 hrs. 2 is nothing

LovelyLunaLovegood 05-30-2007 03:42 AM

Thats a little disappointing. I wish it was as long as Potc3. that would be better

marla_khulet 05-30-2007 04:17 AM

thats short!!
im afraid that its possible not to have all those important facts within that time..

HARRY LOVER#1 =) 05-30-2007 04:25 AM

That is short!! I expect it to be longer,because SS was like 3 hours,and that was a really short book!! :/

Pigwidgeon Took 05-30-2007 04:28 AM

That is a little bit shorter than I'd hoped or imagined, honestly... I mean PotC 3 is longer, but let's all just hope that they did the book justice in this fairly short amount of movie.

Licker_of_windows 05-30-2007 04:32 AM

2 hours is long to me.. of course i hoped longer and the good stuff with our luck will be cut out the trailers look really good though

Blackened 05-30-2007 04:50 AM

Short for the longest book in the series =[

jkrsong96 05-30-2007 05:36 AM

Why? Why? Why?
Why not 3 hours? Or even 2 and a half?
I shouldn't say that I'm disappointed, but I really do want to know why they cut scenes. They are fantastic scenes we all really want to see!
If it's a different movie with the same length of time as this, I'm going to say "that's very long!"
But this...is the one and only Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The movie!

irishbreezeie 05-30-2007 07:44 AM

Thats so short i thought it was going to be at least 3 hours long blah

Kasha Rosaria 05-30-2007 08:06 AM

I think the book is too long to be adequetly protrayed in film form. More than one part is going to be cut but I'm still looking forward to seeing what they make of it.

Katieluff 05-30-2007 08:36 AM

I was hoping for a really long movie on this one but I s'pose they have a limit and it's better than nothing! :D


God, I'm so optimistic :lol:

Hermy99 05-30-2007 10:08 AM

I wish it was longer.

Nienna 05-30-2007 10:16 AM

[:/] that's seriously short. They could've made it longer. Now I'mma worry about them cutting out some of the good stuff

Samia 05-30-2007 10:45 AM

How iwll they squueeezzze everything in!!!Way short!!!!.... ohh Godd am feelin' dissapoitment this time too!!!!

Hollister 05-30-2007 10:57 AM

I hope they haven't cut out too many inportant scenes ...
I wish it were longer, that way I can get an UBER large popcorn :P

Mrs. Ginny potter 05-30-2007 11:01 AM

I was hoping for at least three hours:(

OdiSSe 05-30-2007 11:18 AM

It's short. *pouts*

R&Hr 05-30-2007 11:27 AM

omg...thats it?thats all? the book is so effin huge!!!WTH happened? i mean...what? couldnt they have added a little something...i don want it to end!!!

DontCallMeNymphadora 05-30-2007 11:27 AM

Apparently there's a limit of two and a half hours (I read it somewhere), but they've probably cut really good scenes out - I mean, it doesn't even have the St. Mungo's part in! How will they show about Neville's parents?

Waterloo 05-30-2007 11:28 AM

Hmmm, that is kind of short... but Im sure itll be great!

Ela Diggory 05-30-2007 12:24 PM

!!!! Thats REALLY short for the longest book in the series! I was hoping for at least 3 hours! Thats how long PotC3 was! Argh, stupid movie ppl!

Rebel 05-30-2007 12:31 PM

It could be longer <_< . I hope the important parts are in th emovie and that they didn't cut them out.

Fallon Chanel 05-30-2007 12:34 PM

they need to put some stuff back in the movie cause how can they take a 800-something page book and only make it into a 2 hour and 18 minute movie? the other movies were longer than that and their books were shorter! this disappoints me. badly.

Antwone Thomas 05-30-2007 01:26 PM

I sense dissapointment :(

Mikaela 05-30-2007 01:29 PM

Oof. That is short. Let's hope they squeezed in the best parts and just made it fast-paced! :lol:

Padie 05-30-2007 01:41 PM

Aww man.. Just as everyone else said I hoped it would be as long as PotC3... *sigh* Ah well, as long as the juicy stuff is still there...

Simple Muggle 05-30-2007 01:55 PM

could be longer ...
*sits to wait for the DVD*

Little Trooper 05-30-2007 02:04 PM

That is short. but who knows, maybe it will surpise us of how good it is.

threeaquila 05-30-2007 02:41 PM

DoloresU is right!
there going to cut something big!!

cutiepie0319 05-30-2007 02:56 PM

i thought it would be longer.. i wonder what they cut out or cut short :hmm:

DarthPace 05-30-2007 03:17 PM

They don't think people want to sit in the theatres for three hours apparently...I think Peter Jackson might have some facts that prove otherwise...I sat in the theatre 4 times to watch that 4 hour masterpiece of his.

Chocolate Frog 05-30-2007 03:19 PM

It is short for the the longest book in the series oh well, they probably cut something else besides the quidditch scene will have to wait and see. The DVD will probably longer..

Princesspotter1234 05-30-2007 03:22 PM

Not Fair!!We want a longer movie!!!:cry:
And they could have put in 30 more mins(n the ron-quidditch part too.well,a bit of it,anyway!)
i mean,they could have given us 3 hours!we would hav seen it!it would not be too long!

Mrs Felton 05-30-2007 03:43 PM

I'm glad it's not too long, but it's definitely too short now. Means they will have cut some of the better stuff.

AllieFelton 05-30-2007 03:52 PM

We all wish it to be much longer but wat can ya do?? It better not have cut too much out!

Chudley.Cannons 05-30-2007 03:55 PM

Seems to short. <_< Just as long as they keep the main parts, I'll be happy.

I agree. It really should be longer. OotP is the longest book in the series.

lala_favehp 05-30-2007 04:27 PM

:) good to know how long precisely it will be
but sad to know how short it is... really >_<

Ace 05-30-2007 05:17 PM

That's way too short for a 800-something page book. I thought it would be at least 3 hours long.. Its a bit disappointing to know that its only 2 hrs and 18 mins. Hopefully they put all the important parts in it. or at least most of them.

chrisd2000 05-30-2007 05:23 PM

That is way too short for the Order of the Phoenix. It should be at least 2 1/2 hrs or longer closer to 3 hrs.

futuremrsmalfoy 05-30-2007 08:12 PM

wow cool!!

dancerbookl 05-30-2007 08:49 PM

it's short. reall really really shourt

slythringurl04 05-30-2007 09:34 PM

Grr..typical...

Crayola 05-30-2007 10:16 PM

OMG... only 136 minutes.... that's way too short....

How can the biggest book of the series be synthetized to 138 minutes of action.... it's hardly enough...

anyway, we'll just have to wait and see

prettyinpink 05-30-2007 10:35 PM

awww! I want like 3 hours!!

griffin_girl 05-31-2007 12:38 AM

That is too short! GOF [i think] was much longer!!! I want the Quidditch scenes!!!:cry:

My thoughts EXACTLY! Now I am kind of worried like the rest of you!

PhoenixFlare319 05-31-2007 01:10 AM

that sounds super short wouldnt that make it the shortest book which doesnt make sence since it is the largest book?:techni:

Lissy Longbottom 05-31-2007 01:34 AM

What? It could have been longer than that! COS was longer, I think it was around 2 hours 45 minutes.

Golden Monkey 05-31-2007 06:30 AM

Way too short for my liking :( but I guess it'll have to do!

Ghidighici 05-31-2007 11:36 AM

I think it's cool. I hate movies that take too long... I think 2 hours is enough... If you want them to put the whole book in, they'll have to make a 4 hour movie... And you'll get tired, even if it's gonna be interesting. So I'm glad that the movie is not too long...

Maxilocks 05-31-2007 06:37 PM

That's just too short, seeing how it's the longest book yet in the series. >_>

Hermionespell 05-31-2007 08:05 PM

That is really short. >_< I can't believe that it's that short actually. I mean, it's the longest book in the series!

I'm not really a big fan of the movies because of what they have done to the books. Namely, they have destroyed the books.

I'm really hoping that they didn't cut out a lot of information and scenes. Everything is important, but they just wouldn't understand that, would they? -sigh-

Mari of the Ocean 06-01-2007 02:09 AM

Short!!!!
It's more than short
Its ntohing for waht it should be!!!
They must have cuta lot of the book

starlightangel 06-01-2007 03:12 AM

Not a bad length.

Eclipsed 06-01-2007 09:13 AM

Hmm, sounds a little short. And I hope they haven't cut out any important bits out. We'll just have to wait until the 12th to find out then I suppose.

ViennaJDoull 06-01-2007 08:15 PM

Thats like no time at all! i was hoping for it too be longer because the book is long. But still... I bet it will be good no matter how long it is.

mione_girlgwp 06-01-2007 10:46 PM

Wish it was longer...but hey maybe the DVD will come with a bunch of cut scenes and extras??
