Harry Potter producers David Heyman and David Barron have revealed that the final film will be the shortest of the franchise.
The duo discussed the running time for final installment yesterday at Cinemacon:
"It will be one of the shortest films," Barron told Collider, prompting Heyman to interject: "It will be the shortest film."
Asked to elaborate on what that could mean, Heyman said: "We don't know yet, because we're still editing."
The shortest installment of the incredible franchise was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from 2007 with a running time of 138 minutes.
Barrow made it however perfectly clear that the news does not mean the conclusion to the franchise will be a "short film", just that "it will be shorter than the others".
Discussing the finale, the pair promised fans action-packed scenes:
"It's not non-stop action, but it's a lot of action," Heyman said. "But one of the things that makes Harry Potter so special is it's not just action, not just magic, it's characters, humanity and truth."
"And that's what this film has: a real strong emotional centre. So yeah, there's a lot of action, and it's a really thrilling ride, and it ends with the final confrontation with Voldemort with Harry, but most importantly it's a film that moves you and it makes you really involved and invested in the characters."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two will of course be released on July 15.
