whats wrong with it being 3 hours?
Wait for the DVD, have a feeling that we'll see "the uncut version" with "scenes not seen in theatres" and so on.

The market has become 3 fold now for Harry, the books, the movies and the DVDs. As stated above, you need to have a movie to where they can get maximum screenings in. However, on a DVD you don't need to watch time, so you make sure there are new scenes and you can develop the plot a little more and so on. This raises the DVD price and the sales also. If you paid $30 to see the movie with your family at the cinema, then an extra $20 for the sodas, candy and food.... You'll be more than happy to shell out $39.95 for the DVD, with new scenes, etc.... plus throw on a computer game demo, your kids will love you as the can rewatch the movie over and over and then play the demo video game.... of course that's so much fun that the kids will have you go and shell out $49.99 for the game...... yadda yadda yadda.....

There is far more money to be made from the DVD sales.... and it is all about the $$$$$$$$$
