Warner Brothers has announced that the new HARRY POTTER film will will run 157 minutes (that’s 2 hours and 37 minutes).  This will make HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE the longest film so far in this series. Potter fans are somewhat relieved, because this book is the longest in the series. The book is so long, in fact, that producers were contemplating splitting it into 2 films before AZKABAN director Alfonso Cuaron convinced them the story needed to be condensed for a single film. Either way, I’m definitely looking forward to this one, and advance buzz is very good.
