Absolutely nothing, but as Cynth says, fewer screenings, fewer seats available per day. For the industry to make a long movie on something that's going to sell out opening weekend anyway doesn't make the most sense. All they have to do is hit the mark so people will continue to want to watch 6 and 7. You can pull off 3 hour movies in a trilogy, that just means a 9 hour sitting for the entire thing, but the whole septology (I'm sure I'm making up words now), that's looking down the pipe to an almost full day extravaganza of wand flicking.

I know die hards wouldn't have a problem with that, but the producers are looking to advocate to the non die hards to increase money in pocket.
