You can now watch every 'Harry Potter' film in 90 minutes
LONDON — Back when the Harry Potter film franchise was winding up, quite a few people debated whether or not the final book should have been split into two movies.
Not many people debated the merits of only having one film for the whole series, though.

Well, with his 90-minute edit of all eight films rolled in to one, New Yorker Tim Stiefler has done exactly that.
The brilliantly titled Wizardhood, which Stiefler shared on Vimeo on Sunday, incorporates some fairly no-nonsense editing techniques to bring the total time down from a hefty 19 hours 40 minutes to a mere one hour 30 minutes.

Because Stiefler has cut over 18 hours of footage, there were obviously quite a few sacrifices that had to be made.
The first film is now about ten minutes long, and the second, third and fourth films barely feature at all.
The final three stories still get a decent run, though; Wizardhood is already up to the Order of the Phoenix 20 minutes into the film.
If you've never seen Harry Potter we wouldn't recommend this shortened version. You'll miss out on a pretty badass giant snake and some dragons, not to mention plenty of key plot points.
But it's still a pretty impressive editing feat.
