The producers were interviewed at CinemaCon today. Here is an Excerpt from Interview:
Quote:
What’s the running time of the final film?
Barron: It will be one of the shortest films.
Heyman: It will be the shortest film.
So what does that mean?
Heyman: We don’t know yet, because we’re still editing.
Barron: It’s not a short film, but it will be shorter than the others.

The audience was also shown an Exclusive Trailer of the movie with tons of new footage.
Quote:
For the most part, the footage focused on all the action in the last chapter and we see the three main kids riding on the magic cart through the caverns of Gringotts Wizarding Bank with a goblin in order to retrieve another horcrux, but then the cart is blasted and they start falling to the ground, but Hermione calls out a spell that leaves them hovering mere inches from the cave floor. A lot of the footage focuses on a giant white dragon and we see Hermione getting the crazy idea to jump on its back and we see them flying on it until they jump off its back into the lake outside Hogwarts and we see them walking away from it soaking wet.
Inside Hogwarts, Harry confronts Snape for daring to stand in Dumbledore's place after his involvement in the former headmaster's murder, then we see Snape doing battle with Maggie Smith's Minerva McGonagall, who then casts a spell to bring a number of armed knight statues to life to help protect the school. The tagline for the extended trailer was "It Ends Where It Started" and we see a scene of the wizards on both sides of the battle racing towards each other in the Forbidden Forest for the final battle, as well as lots of footage of Hogwarts' destruction and a bridge the group are crossing also being destroyed.
We see the scene of Harry and Voldemort facing off with magical energy streaming between them, and another one where Harry tells Voldemort "Let's end this together," before pulling them both over the side of a high cliff, and Voldemort's voice-over tells Harry, "Only one can live forever."

For the record, the shortest film in the series is
Order of the Phoenix at 138 minutes
which means even though it may be the shortest, it will still most likely clock in at just over 2 Hours.

I
personally wanted this one to be the longest, but I guess it makes sense since they covered most of the Book in Part 1.
I hope they get this right though because if this gets ****ed up heads will roll
