And likely had an entirely different cast than they've been working with.
Better...or worse?

: Baa...either way I'm not interested anyway but if they could fit OOTP

ORDER was the longest book,so SHOULD have been the longest movie.

:
: The movies screwed up in starting the filmes before the series was

(as we know now,it's definite intent,though I wonder if their being
cagey over just where HALLOWS will be split means they haven't
really decided).
