they have obviously included most of the story line if it has been given a 12a i was worried they would downgrade it a bit for kids. cant wait

I can understand the rating. The books are just going to get gloomier…
Can’t wait!

I don´t think you can compare ratings. The American MPAA doesn´t make any sense anyway. ;)
Happy about the running time, though. Will be tough to watch it twice in one night. :)

Was this info already released before? I think I’m going crazy but I thought I already read somewhere a couple weeks ago that it was going to be 2 hours and 33 minutes. Either way…AMAZING news. Honestly, I’m pretty sure I’d sit there for 5 hours if they’d make a movie that long…

I usually get really excited with every new HP-movie, but the last 3 films has failed at so many levels. I wanna believe that this will be the best so far! I can’t wait to see the Ron parts for sure!
I just want the damn movie! Right now I’m sick and tired of all these trailer.
