Our friends at HPANA have learned that the running time for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is 153 minutes (or 2 hours and 33 minutes). This would make the film the second longest to date, coming behind Chamber of Secrets by a few minutes.

A 2nd or 3rd HP movie out of 6, but it still a lot important things from the book are ommitted; No Bill Weasley & Fleur Delacour, The Gaunt Family, House-elves, Moaning Myrtle, The Funeral with the participation of Centaurs, Merpeople etc. and many more...

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 13:48:15
actually its the third longest.
1st.. CHamber of Secrets at 165 mins
2nd.. Goblet Of Fire at 157 minutes
3rd. Half Blood Prince at 153 mins
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 13:53:45
YES! Sweet! I wanted it to be that long! But remember, Goblet of Fire is longer, so its the third longest! Im so relieved now. THANK YOU MR. YATES!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 13:59:45
Also, there is always 10 or more mins of credits. OOTP was long for a normal movie, but it was really 2 hrs 8 mins, excluding credits. Goblet was 2 hrs 25 mins. Chamber was 2 hrs 28 mins. SS was 2 hrs 20 mins. POA was 2 hrs 10 mins. That means this will be 2 hrs 20 mins- 2 hrs 25 minutes! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hell yeah!

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 15:05:10
YAY!...the longer it is, the more they include!!! :D Wish it could be longer tho, but you cant get everything you wish for
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 15:11:23
that is AWSOME i cant wait thats INSANE, thats such a difference from order of the pheonix, does this mean its the longest so far?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 15:17:07
Im so glad that this one is at least 2 and 1/2 hours long! They would never have been able to do this story justice in a shorter amount of time! I only hope that both parts of Deathly Hallows are this long, if not longer!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 15:24:43
im glad that its nice and long. even though they cut some things, the scenes they do include will be good and will not have to be rushed.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 16:35:27
I agree with the first post, at least this means that we will be seeing more of the book, and that the few juicy clips weve seen havent taken away from the actual movie. This better bee good, Ive waited a whole two years and two days to watch this! xP
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 16:40:25
Two and a half hours plus three minutes? YAY! haha that sounds good to me!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 17:33:23
this is great news!! of course, imo, we all could sit through 3 hours plus!! and im really excited about the upcoming Hp weekend...didnt realize that was happening. thanks for the info! BTW...when will MN change the countdown? its still 2 days off! my countdown is only 49 days and that sounds better than 51! anyway...thanks for the great news!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 17:46:24
YESS!!!! I am so so happy its not short like Order of the Phoenix.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 17:53:48
SWEET!!! the longer the better! this also means we havent seen all of the clips in the trailers. i was afraid they were showing to much.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 17:59:13
Excellent! Now its decorating time - wheres the Half-Blood Prince layout Mugglenet?!?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 18:11:36
yes!!! thats awesome!!! that means not as much cut from the books :D i never realised that harry potter movies were THAT long, i thought they were all ike 2 hours
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 19:30:41
HECK YES BABYYYYY! Im glad we have a long film, unlike OotP which was waaay too short for my liking. I cannot wait to see it. I have such high hopes for this film. :)

i cant believe this! i didnt know that C0S was the longest m0vie..! i always thought it was GOF...! and I SOO CANT BELIEVE that OoTP was the shortest! i mean, how was that possible, C0S was just a very short bo0k compared to OoTP...! this is REALLY unbelievable.. [how did they do that!?] and, oh, im glad that it seems we havent seen the whole movie via clips.. s0o excited!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 20:18:50
NOW were getting somewhere. Its still a little messed up that CoS is longer than the rest but whats done is done and Im quite happy about the length of this one :)

:D!!!!!! BEST HBP news yet!!! YAY!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 20:42:35
Ohh, you all are right; GoF and CoS are both longer than this one! My guess is that Andrew just checked the MuggleNet archives which say that GoF is 150 minutes. But who cares? Its still a goodly length and we should be pleased its not shorter than OotP.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 20:58:44
woohoo! tis is great news for me. 153 mins is just about right to do justice to the book.
|

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 21:57:28
this is GOOD! this means that theyll get all the good stuff from the book into the movie. and plus, ill be out until like three a.m. at the midnight showing now which is always a party(: hooray:D
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-26 22:11:36
YES!!!! Its the perfect length!! Not too short and not too long!! I love it!!!! Im so excited. I was worried we were seeing too much in all the trailers, but now that I see how long the movie actually is....Im sure theres still TONS of footage we havent seen. With the trailers weve probably seen a total of ten minutes of the film. YAY!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-27 00:25:16
For some reason I always thought PoA was longest.. I think my mom told me it was like a 3 hour movie.. Strange. Only thing I knew apart from that is that OotP is shorter than PS.. (which really bothered me). Its good that its so long and that we havent seen that much clips yet..
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-27 02:48:59
SS is 152 minutes; COS is 161 minutes; POA is 142 minutes; GOF is 157 minutes; and OOTP is 139 minutes long; So this one is the third longest. I always thought POA was longer than it is too but I think its because of the whole time turner thing...it makes the movie seem alot longer because we see the some of the same sequences twice.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-27 06:38:27
Haha guys guys guys...
It IS the second longest, GOF is 157 minutes including the long credits at the end. The film itself without the credits is 2 hours and 17 minutes.
Cmon guys, think ;)

I think Im the only one who will say that COS was my favourite movie and book.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-27 17:34:27

wow JKRsbookmobile ! Youre the first to like COS... I thought it was worst BOOk and MOVIE.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-27 21:46:02
Thank God. That probably means theyll include a lot of stuff from the book. They should have made the 4th and 5th movies longer. Hopefully this wont be a let down.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-28 11:21:43
Yes! This makes me even more excited now! 49 days left!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-28 11:25:28
Fantastic!! As long as the pacing is good, the the longer the better, I say =]
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-28 15:51:25
my fave book is HBP, so hopefully itll be my favourite movie. 153 minutes? thats freakin awesome
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-29 10:38:59
the length is fine by me- but i really still cant believe that CoS is STILL the longest one!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-29 19:06:37
JKRsbookmobile i dont know why people dont really like the first 2 they were the closest to the books i will admit they can be a bit cheesey but cmon
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-29 19:10:57
