  PS and COS were like a year apart. Then POA was 1 + 1/2 years after now GOF is due for Nov 05. I know that the first 2 came out in Nov a year after each other and they pushed back POA due to too many big movies coming out at the same time (or so I heard) But GOA would have been ok to have this year wouldnt it?

  NO! My bro's best mate works in the movie industry...do you know how long it takes to make a movie? All the filming of the acting etc is just a small part of it. Theres loads of stuff that has to be done after that!

  they are going to take a while to make, granted, but what will they do after the current actors are older than they should be for the movie?

  I don't think the age of the actors should be a problem.
  
  Very often actors play roles younger than they actually are.
  
  My main concern is how they are going to turn such a big book into a 2 hour film without ripping the guts out of the plot!
  
  Finally saw POA the other day. Really enjoyed it - best of the three films made so far, but it did seem a little rushed in places - could've done with at least another half an hour runtime, and that book is half the size of GOF!

  Haha
  
  I agree.
  
  As for the huge books (oop, and gof) i think that they could make the movies be longer, and either really rushed, or just lacking a huge plot area in the book. Both of my solutions really suck, for the producers and viewers.

  Amen.
  
  I'm not incredibly concernede about how long it takes between the movies because I don't necessarily look forward to them. I'll still go see them (out of habit), but I don't anxiously await their arrival.
